"IF JIMMY IOVINE PUSH THAT BUTTON HE CAN MAKE YOU KENDRICK LAMAR" Great Interview w/ EBRO and ICEMAN

[Piff Perkins]

Vado? Seriously? Kendrick was selling out shows across the country before Dre called. Same with Cole, same with KRIT, same with Curren$y, etc. They have loyal fanbases, some smaller than others. What does Vado have? He deserves a shot because he's from NY and spits "real" shyt? What does Kendrick spit that isn't real my g...

When Vado can write a song and travel around the country selling out shows, then we'll talk. Iovinne is a business man - he's in the business to make money. He signed Dre because he could make money. He signed Em because he could make money. He signed 50 because he could make money. He signed Game because he could make money. And now Kendrick is in the same spot, making money. All them dudes had established a career or buzz before getting signed because they WORK HARD.

The problem with nikkas today is that they think they can do a couple interviews, make a fancy video, and sell records. Big Sean flopped because people don't give a shyt about his music as a whole; they'll buy the single and that's it. And why don't people care? Might have to do with Sean not touring hard enough, not working DJs hard enough, etc. J Cole used to get tips from program directors on how to get his shyt popping. Now look at him. Kendrick did every interview, every DJ event, everything; LA radio doesn't play him nonstop just because he's hot, they play him nonstop because he made the right connections over a series of YEARS before finally getting the radio friendly singles he needed.

The problem most of you have is believing the fairy tales of good music will get you everywhere... good music and connections and doing interviews and blah blah blah


WHO YOU THINK SETS THAT UP???? Your label.. how do you think you get on radio in wisconsin?? you think people was calling up to request section 80 music, and the radio station already had edited versions lined up just in case??? How do you think these artists get these tours?? Get these movie placements?? endorsements?? THE LABEL

Jimmy Iovine had Eminem... now AFTER slim shady lp went diamond, em tried to drop MM lp... guess what jimmy did? told him straight up "NO.. i will not ok this release until you give me another silly single like Hi, My Name Is." That's how we got The Real Slim Shady song... Eminem is the one who told that story

So yea, they hold the key.. you don't follow what they feel will blow up, you don't make the music they feel will make money, you don't do what they tell you to do, you WILL be put on that back burner.. and you can make 1203921 songs, they won't release it.. and if they do, they might say, fukk this guy, and pull your promo budget after a week

meanwhile, another guy is doing every hit they want, being ghostwritten for, sucking on jimmy's dikk after work.... what you think he get?? the button pushed.. meaning a memo sent out to the company... PUSH THIS ARTIST.. even tho there's 10 other artist that might have releases out.. nah focus on this guy cause i really believe in him

aftermath is owned 80% by interscope... dre in his own words would tell artists HE signed... "yo you better come with hits asap cause jimmy will drop you quick" it was jimmy dropping all those artists




And that's why I respect Ebro and most people hate him... they want him to be about music and what's good.. and he straight up tells you... HIS bosses only care about numbers and money... so what he likes, doesn't matter.. and if he tries to be militant and say no, i'm only playing good music... then they fire his ass and get the next person in there with no problems.

that's the industry y'all.. you gotta play the game.. that's why so many people say its fake.. bunch of back room deals, money under the table, favor for a favor type shyt that controls who gets hot, who gets played, who blows up.... while nobody cares about the actual music anymore

and when you have a guy who controls the music for probably the most known hip hop station in the world, saying multiple times, in multiple interviews, exactly what the deal is... y'all get mad at him for telling the truth.. like you don't want to believe what's right in front of your eyes

Ebro is a self hating Jew, he uses his Jew blood when its advantage to him, but when its nikka shyt going on, he becomes his daddy blood, biggest fraud in the industry. His views on anything is irrelevant, he is a programmer he is told to do stuff.

Ebro is a self hating Jew, he uses his Jew blood when its advantage to him, but when its nikka shyt going on, he becomes his daddy blood, biggest fraud in the industry. His views on anything is irrelevant, he is a programmer he is told to do stuff.

i agree with everything but one thing.... his views are irrelevant...

i disagree cause you basically gave the reason why... cause he's told what to do... by people higher up than him...

so he's literally one of the few, who gets direct orders from bosses on what to play, what not to play, and why.. and he's explained over and over how it's all about numbers... whether money behind you or spins or listeners




i want to tell a story that could get me black balled but i won't... i'll let you put 2 and 2 together

but i went to a MAJOR market radio station... on air with the head dj of that station... and watched the ENTIRE fairytale in person

i saw a list in the dj booth of artists... these artists wouldn't like being on this list... and some were major.. how or why they got there, who knows..

i was there for the "9th caller call in" lets just say........ nothing

i was there as the engineer edited... stuff... it's actually on a delay and it's never as smooth flowing as you hear it

a lot of other shyt went down that i saw.. that i won't speak on... now if they did that in front of me, then what you think they do in front of everyone else... and yet NO artist ever gives out details.. no artist says anything more than "fukk radio" even though technically all that shyt is illegal and the stations been sued and lost over payola from EVERY SINGLE MAJOR LABEL...



it's obvious the labels and radio are working together.. they push who they want with extra dough and favors, they scale it down for certain artists who they know maybe they can get money off a 360 so let them tour but don't put money in the albums... and the artists know never reveal too much or say too much against radio or the label or its welcome to the shelf for you

remember how big 50 was... remember his downfall... it wasn't game.. it was attacking jimmy's 5 million record sold artist after being told not to... then throwing tvs and having fits in interscope offices.. then saying fukk jimmy iovine... now all the sudden a man who sold over 20 million records can't even get a mixtape or a video in rotation on mtv... funny how that works

 

[USSInsiders]

Ebro dead ass makes me not even wanna turn it to Hot 97...I literally despise that faggit...nikka basically admitted he don't give a fukk about the music...

I dunno what it is but his gratuitous use of "nikka" makes me

We get it, you have sub-saharan DNA in you b even though you're half Jew, give it a rest

 

[Rohiggidy]

good interview

 

[SunZoo]

Why ain't the push the button on knockturnal...

Call Kendrick overrated if you like, but pretending like he has no appeal or is getting some kind of extraordinary leg up without having the very least the base minimum amount of talent is a fukking hater...straight up.

Messing with shyt I didn't need toChanged my email bcuz I had a newer one,realized I didn't know the password to my new one like I thought I did and then I got locked out didn't know I wuz gon have to do a reconfirmation to be able to stay logged in,just ain't got around to gettin it unlocked,and just wasn't trippin since I had the new name,think ill do that right now tho

Some how, I knew it was da gawd

I'm like this nikka post style look familiar

 

[Born2BKing]

I guess Jimmy Iovine didn't push the button for Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, Charles Hamilton, Wale, etc.

I know, prolly because he is jewish and we all know how jews hate to make money and are all about integrity over profit. I can see Jimmy in his office hesitating to hit the button on Chef Keef because he cares so much about the image of black america.
