Artists that were blackballed from the music industry.

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Ace Hood, Lauryn Hill (allegedly), Lupe Fiasco, Pharoahe Monch, Little Brother

EDIT: Also, probably the worst one:

To this very day I just wish the worst for Bey and her fukking team. Amerie was a prime example of balance with soul and hitting the radio, only for the machine to say "lolz". Blackballed my queen into a library

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I wouldn't say Charles Hamilton got blackballed.

The biggest issue with Charles Hamilton was he was his own worst enemy.

Beefing with his own label mates
Charles making up shyt that he was cool with J.Dilla and Mom Dukez
Charles not taking his mental health serious (His mom had to call the cops on him)
Him getting arrested for punching a cop.
Him not letting Intercope manage his vast body of music he had.

Ect.

Dude was back in jail a few months ago.

A brilliant mind within a tortured soul

He was supposed to be where Kendrick is now

And the Amerie shyt ticked me off too, but I had to ride for the home team...the industry gone industry

Breh like...I just don't get it. Dude had it all:

• He could make beats
• He could make legit radio hits
• He had a fresh style to the game
• He birthed Emo/LoFi Hip Hop
  
• He did melodic tracks WAYYY better than most rappers nowadays
• He actually knew how to create legit albums from track one to ending (The Pink Lavalamp and This Perfect Life)

Dude is a prime example of the problems with mental health and what needs to be done because it hurts that such a amazing talent is in the shytter because of his own mental vices

Even when he got that second chance, he still managed to fumble the bag:

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

dissed drake and that was the end of his chapter

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Arrested for what?

Hitting his jawn I think. I found out from that Kanye site since that's where majority of his new stuff can be found.

 

[Child_Of_God]

I had no idea Beyoncé blackballed Amerie too.
