Reviews of Music, Marketing & Entrepreneurship Books With a Bit About Why I’m Leaving Hip Hop Business Media

Just wanted to let folks know I did a piece at Hypebot, titled Late Summer Reading on Music, Marketing & Entrepreneurship From ProHipHop’s Clyde Smith, that discusses four books:

Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead:
What Every Business Can Learn from the Most Iconic Band in History

Under the Influence: Tracing the Hip-Hop Generation’s Impact
on Brands, Sports, & Pop Culture

The Innovator’s Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change
the Way You Do Business

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t

An for those who are wondering why I’m leaving hip hop business media with the impending sale of ProHipHop and Hip Hop Press, I close with a brief discussion of how Good To Great helped lead me to that decision.
