It Needs To BE CED

Who is BIG CED?

Before there was social media, you had Big Ced, a gatherer of people. He is more than a promoter or socialite. He hand picked people he liked or felt had some value and invited them to local bars, restaurants, night clubs, sporting events and various other places they probably had never been.

His ability to bring ground breaking thinkers, music artists, athletes, directors, models and moguls together is quite unique. Even in 2016, he continues to collect a eclectic group of movers and shakers.

I imagine he believes in you, before you believe in yourself.

He is a pioneering writer on the internet, before the word blogger and continues to use the platform to make social change.

I had the honor of meeting Cedric Thornton at an event in New York around a decade ago (2006). I didn’t understand who he was at first. I thought he was a youthful, friendly, funny guy. As I got to know him though, I realized that Cedric (Big Ced) Thornton was much more.

Cedric knew a lot of people and a lot of people knew him. I would soon learn that he, himself was a pioneer of contemporary, commercial, urban culture, having appeared in a few music videos to songs by Monie Love and MC Lyte, in his youth, among other things.

Cedric has always been wise beyond his youthful appearance. His sense of humor never strays from the truth. My fondest memory of Ced, was when I was getting my feet wet with digital reporting, and he gave me a few writing assignments. He always referred to me by my last name, “Glinski” and I loved that! Cedric’s level of professionalism and respect, sets him apart. Whether publishing news to his forum, TheIndustryCosign, or holding weekly social events around NY…

Wait.. how did I get on this?

Well, he has a brilliant mind, so witty and funny.  At first I thought he’d be the average then he just started to shine… Kevin Hart is one of the funniest guys out right now… oh I’m sorry…

Big Ced? Well, I think he used to work for the circus as the bearded lady… well, that’s rumor so don’t quote me but Ced is like a switch board and a lot of  information passes through him…

Ok, Ced can you pay me now?

BIG CED is an anomaly. If I’m being frank, I have no idea how to describe what he does for a living. Is he a party promoter? A writer? An industry socialite? Probably all of the above. He’s basically Tommy from “Martin.” We know he works, but where?! What I do know for sure is that BIG CED is kind, he’s reliable, he’s got a winning smile and everyone in the biz has him on their NYC invite list. And I am glad to know him. Keep on truckin’ BIG CED!

Big Ced is…

The only guy that can look like Bernie Mac AND Ma$e at the same damn time.
Hit The Road Sam from the MC Lyte “Paper Thin” video
The geeky trifocal glasses wearing mofo from the “Monie In The Middle” video
Matter of fact…he’s the first male video vixen.  He’s a Mixen.
Real talk tho…  He’s a good dude.  Pause.
He’s a great entertainment resource to have and he’s a good mentor, big brother figure and friend.
But he’s still sarcastic as hell.
Even though most of his jokes be missing the mark, we still laugh along with his punk azz.
He’s like a termite… or is it the cockroach… he’ll be around forever.
Ok for real now?  Who’s this Big Ced guy you’re asking me about? Never heard of him.

#Positive I think Big Ced is one of the most honest, passionate and sincere people in the music industry. It’s rare that I come across people who I genuinely admire and respect but he’s one of them. In a world full of hate, he shows nothing but love.

Donny GoinesCEOAmbitious VenturesNew York, NY

CED:

Professional, reliable, open to various ideas, thinks outside the box, willing to give others opportunities. Identifies synergies between his passion/business and the passion/business of others. Works well with others.

Willing to help others, returns calls and messages. A person of integrity.

 

That’s CED…

Big Ced is an icon in New York City’s hip-hop community. It has been an honor for me to know him professionally as he has written about many of my clients. Ced is one of those rare people who only deals with authentic individuals. You know, the real ones. So when dealing with him, you better come honest, humble and professional.

Theo PerryPresidentTheePee Co.New York, NY

BIG CED is an industry professional with a magnanimous personality and a smile to match. For almost twenty years, I have relied on BIG CED to enlighten his networks about my clients and good deeds and he has never once closed his door or acted like he didn’t care, and for that I am eternally grateful. Through his career transitions and evolutions, BIG CED has remained humble and authentic and ALWAYS reachable. In the media landscape it’s common to lose touch with people but through my different career moves, BIG CED has always been just a phone call away. Cheers to BIG CED and may everything he touches be as sincere as he is.

Rachel NoerdlingerManaging DirectorMercuryNew York, NY

Big Ced is a veteran in the entertainment industry that’s paved the way for some of the industry’s most prized possessions.
