To hell with the music industry; nobody working, put everybody talmbout some "I own this."

Choke makes a great point; he did Flex a favor documentating The Tunnel, but, Flex didn't give him a dollar to fund it back in the day.

This is what we do to each other; the foul shyt done to us, we do to each other.

:rudy: "I own this, anyway" How breh?

hate to admit it but Flex has a point ....... Flex booked those artists , Flex promoted the night, wouldnt have been anything to film if not for him...

hes right to want a percentage

and all that talk about "this is what we do to each other" in your post is just plain wrong because if all the characters involved were white choke would have had to sign paperwork just to film in the tunnel let alone try and sell a documentary ..... its business

I went off the rails with the bolded, but, my point stands.

Dame says he owns that footage that Choke shot. If Dame didn't pay for the cameras or/and have an agreement with Choke, that bullshyt. Your supervisor doesn't own a piece of your car because they are over you at your job.

You don't just "own" stuff just because you're over a person. And that's what Flex is doing. Flex ain't demanding a piece of Hot 97, because he knows better.

MY MAIN ISSUE; Flex is being a bully, not standing on principal. That's why after he couldn't get full control, he just sabotaged it.

I agree Flex shouldnt get full control ....BUT cmon, someone films in my house with his equipment I deserve a cut....

Flex as the promoter ( if he really was) incurs all the costs of booking other DJs , promoting the night and the costs of booking the artists .....he deserves a cut

If you provide CONTENT as FLEX has you should be rewarded

You don't deserve a cut of anything you didn't negotiate a cut of.

This is why I don't like 360 Deals; you get the feeling record labels think they own the entire existence of an artist without actual developing the artist outside of music.

Flex was apart of a club, that doesn't give him the right to tax everybody there.

too use your analogy that would mean Flex wanting a cut of EVERYTHING Choke filmed i.e Dash going on a rant in the Def Jam offices .... he doesnt

he just wants a cut of a video that was filmed at a night he promoted, DJ d at, booked the artists and put his time and money into developing .....

Watch the video; Choke said he wanted 100% creative control. I'm basing my opinion on that.

I don't know much at all about Choke No Joke but this seemed like 1 of the realist I've ever seen.

Him bringing his mom to the interview was awkward tho.
