As we all continue to wonder about this whole 'G.O.O.D. Music Day' ordeal, Consequence sounds off on the reasoning behind it. He sat down with Hip Hop DX
the other day in for an interview and says that the day was developed from a conversation with Universal Motown Records President, Sylvia Rhone...
Well…the idea for
doing the G.O.O.D Music Day emerged between me and [Universal Motown Records
President] Sylvia Rhone, just to be quite honest. I’m very communicative with
Sylvia Rhone on everything that I do. We had actually met with Kanye one night,
and as me and her left the meeting, we left together and I was like, “Yo, we
need to really get this paper right now.” When we left we thought that this is
where we need to take advantage of the situation. So…she got on the phone…made
some boss calls, and then we got to it. At the time when [Big] Sean announced
that [he was also dropping his album on September 14th] I didn’t know that he
was in the mix of that, but it’s all good. But initially, how that shit came
about was me, Kanye and Kid Cudi. I just hadn’t announced it because I know we
had things that had to be ironed out. And it got ironed out where it’s – ‘Cause
actually at the end of the day, Kanye being the head of G.O.O.D Music had to
approve that. And the approval was based on, “Let’s shake the game up.” Cudi
got the kids, Cons got the streets, ‘Ye got the globe, so we all gon’ eat.
