Hi, my name is Rogers L. Mitchell Jr, and I love Hip Hop, Rap and R and B Hip Hop music.  I am originally from Detroit, Michigan.  I was born in 1967.  I grew up on Hip Hop / rap music.  I remember the first rap song that came out in the late 70's.  I moved to Memphis, TN, when I was 11 years old and traveled back and forth from Memphis to Detroit and Texas until I was 14.  From 11 years old to 18 years old I copy catted rap singers by writing their songs down (like The Sugar Hill Gang), memorizing them and rapping them.  I also danced as a break dancer and popped lock'd, as well;  I won several contest (first place) as a dancer.  

At 18 years old I entered into The United States Coast Guard (1986) and was eventually stationed in San Diego, CA, after boot camp, where I wrote, produced my own beats and performed.

It wasn't until 1996 after Tupac passed that I visioned building a Worldwide Hip Hop Hall of Fame Wax Museum Tourism and Hospitality Resort.  My main reason for that came from the fact that I was looking for ways to create revenue for starving and striving artist like myself, to support our music career.  I wanted to build and run a company that would be the spokesperson and advocate for all hip hop artist new, old, major and independent but not to take away from the founders of hip hop.  

The Benefits of a " Worldwide Hip Hop Hall of Fame Wax Museum ", in Memphis, would

1) Make Memphis Tennessee the Hip Hop Mecca of the rap / hip hop entertainment business (millions of fans and hundreds of artist a year would visit), and probaby number one or number two next to Miami, Florida and Walt Disney

2) Provide jobs and career opportunities for teens (ages 14-17), adults and minorities (ages 18 & up); In the music industry, entertainment industry, hospitality industry, food industry, management, theme park and media industry, etc.

3) Provide a safe environmental and atmospheric facililty, and or grounds or location for the public and tourist (from all walks of life), for some good old entertainment and amusement, almost year round.

4) The Benefits of building a Worldwide Hip Hop Hall of Fame Wax Museum will provide more entertainment, tourist, jobs, and venues (on it's property); But it would also boost the cities economic growth substanially via sales and jobs.  Those whom have jobs spend more money, and a faciility of this sort, would bring in lots of jobs, tourist and money.

Honestly, when I first embarked upon this idea, there were no competitors or anyone with a trademark or business license of my kind. Then a few popped up, after I started and finished the legal process.  Only to let me know that I was onto something.  Being a Memphian and living the history of Music, Beale Street, Rapping myself, meeting Three Six Mafia, Skinny Pimp, 8Ball & MJG, Lil Boosie and a host of others in and out of Memphis like Warren G, DMX, T.I., Slick Rick, David Banner, Trina, Da Brat, Bow Wow, etc, was another reason I decided to follow my dreams.  I have met probably more artist and been more places and too so many shows and worked in so many fields ( tv, magazine, managing, etc) that I must ask you, the fans, the people, my friends, my family and all artist to help me make this dream a reality in Memphis, TN..  Especially since no one else has.

Regardless of where Hip Hop started The Mission or Hip Hop Movement is too build a Worldwide Hip Hop Hall of Fame Wax Museum Tourism & Hospitality Resort to preserve, house, and store the history of Hip Hop and R&B Hip Hop Music, and It's (artist) contributors (honors, awards, accomplishments, contributions and more), for the fans and their kids to see, watch, read, learn about or listen too.  And to provide an economic boost to the city of Memphis,TN., and surrounding areas or the region, hopefully by ridding the city of some of it's escalated crime, due too knew jobs, more money and lots of new places to go and new things to do for families, kids and adults.
