This is about leaving a good friend that was down for you out to dry and acting like u made it big on your own, when in reality DJ Earl really was spinning Gates
So did he just admit to payola? I don't get what this guy wants or feel like he's owed. Isn't this the same label Gates was signed to called Dead Game back in 2010? There was even a video of those Dead Games nikkas laughing behind Gates back after he spit something in the studio. Seems like they didnt really respect him and he said they were doing shady shyt over there.

As a matter of fact he covered this shyt on Tiger

Agreed.

^Once that happened all kinds of doors opened for him. What all of this shows me is that it's not about talent. If you got enough money the industry will walk you trough every door straight to the VIP. That's why I don't even take half these artist seriously that people stan because they don't deserve to be where they at.

exactly.

The reality is that it takes financial backing to make art. People who pretend like you can just 'make it' without it are kidding themselves.

The other thing is that it's a team effort. So it will always require people working longer hours and doing stuff for free. So saying that "you should get your paperwork straight" stuff is annoying. Yes you should make sure it doesn't go overboard but a lot of the times, you're gonna be taking on different roles that require sharing. Make sure your paperwork is straight in the important stuff but the minor stuff you're gonna have to let go until the product is completed, then you can sort out all paperwork

not exactly....:francis:

it's actually POLITICS as opposed to MONEY that gets you further than others in this game :ufdup:

which is based on RELATIONSHIPS

look I met a lot of "big money" hustlers and dopeboys who were willing to pour thousands if not a million or two into a certain project for an artist

and wound up Wasting money..cause they couldn't establish a good relationship with a certain PD....DJ or LABEL HEAD..

it happens all the time...:to:

guys I knew were taking penitentiary risks to just to get a single popping in the club's .....

only to get blocked regardless how much paper they had..

.cause the hustler didn't have any history or,someone to,vouch for him like an OG...

OR simply cause the deejay has ties with their rival...

or felt the hustlers wasn't connected enough or like in BMF Case...

the FEDS told the labels and,deejays to NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.....

MEECH spent half a mill on videos that never got any burn on BET and MTV,because of that.... :snoop:

I personally know a baller who "paid" deejays from ATL to NYC to have a single played which had a nice buzz....

but because he told ONE fukkboy deejay to go to HELL

somehow the SINGLE got blackballed even though it had a feature from Jeezy

come to find,out that certain deejay was plugged in with DEF JAM so it never got cleared and the man lost 100s of thousands on promoting and the visual for it only to get BLOCKED...

So U see it's about RELATIONSHIPS

cause like Jay Z says

"when you have RELATIONSHIPS you always have ACCESS TO MONEY....

but MONEY CANT ALWAYS buy you RELATIONSHIPS " :manny:

its called being a team player.

its impossible to build a successful situation in hip-hop without people working for free

ask Future & DJ Esco
ask Master P & BBTP
ask RHQ & TIG
ask The Weeknd about his contributions to Take Care
quan signed to tig ain't no free

Check Quan interviews, he rarely mentioned TIG. No one knew he was on the same label as Trinidad James for the longest. Now Quan suing his management.
