For now I need for you to mute your monologue, Phifer is about to drop some 8 minute student extraordinaire-dialogue. Last week I modestly spoke about me being Morehouse College’s “Business Man of The Year“–guess I won’t be a college drop out after all…
Clap for him. Morehouse ain’t no community school (WE MAJOR); my SAT scores were high too!–and I am honored to hold the 2010 title “Business Man of The Year“. Ofcourse I hug the block–& my run for office starts in a few months–I already got my own campaign–I already got my state votes. & I typically last for more than just 8 minutes, but after an hour long performance this interview got a Swishahouse treatment and was chopped. I guess you could say that my image was cleaned by Mary Poppins. Vibe magazine is coming down and will be interviewing Marquis Phifer: Live in Atlanta; like a live concert dvd. I’m having it held in the barbershop–now how real is that.

“Business Man of The Year” 2010 interview
“look like a million dollars and sound homeless” lol
Do.The.Work. (truth)
Respect, good words of advice
The line about looking a million dollars yet sounding homeless when you open your mouth was hilarious. Such truth.
Marquis is phenomenal.
Dead on!!
Congradulations Marquis! Keep it coming…
By the way, Love the Scarf!!!!!!
“…I’d rather be something with no pictures, than nothing with a whole bunch of pictures…”
“…you’ll always be considered to be the audience. You’ll never be the performer, until you do the work.”

Great interview and well versed!!!
Is there an “about us” section of some sort for the posters on this blog? Like a short bio or something?
networking is dead
nice interview sir PHIF, your statement about saying your great is funny,I think people dont want to hear people talk about how great they are and how great their work is..Shit if you know you doing ya thing why not give yourself a pat on the back!!
Definetly my same thoughts on networking!
you’re my mentor and you don’t even know it.
love.
Yeah, I agree on most of what you said. Networking is dead, brand yourself and look interesting so people would want to know what you have to offer… The mystique/mystery of a person is what people are drawn off of intially – I know that from experience.
Great interview. Though I disagree that networking is dead. I do believe that defining your “brand” and being consistent is the key to attracting the connections. Congratulations on your accomplishments, and may they continue. Hard work always pays off.
Great interview!
There really is a new generation that feels trapped in a box and believe that just because they’ve had a fab internship or a degree from a prestigious university that the doors in any industry should open for them.
“networking is dead”…People need to know!
By building your own foundation to stand strong on the movers will gravitate to you.
Thumbs way, waaaaayyyy up
