Rappers that got black balled

[submarine1]

Original label folded after Doe or Die. Had an offer on the table from Def Jam but backed out after someone got in his ear about Def Jam's financial issues. Said it was the biggest regret of his career, Lyor was pissed, felt like he held a grudge and blackballed him.

Okay - thats a little bit better BUT.....
AZ is Nas homie so that fact alone keeps a lot of avenues open for him.
Also AZ has a lady who is rich rich rich so he is chilling above any blackball efforts.
Lastly - Lyor Cohen in todays climate does not hold enough power to blackball AZ and I don't think Lyor is thinking about AZ in 2020 at all.
Guaranteed if AZ wanted a deal today from Def Jam or Empire it would be a done deal but AZ got a rep and he would probably want more money than anyone would be willing to give.
That being said - that is far far far away from being blackballed - AZ is saying how he "felt" but Lyor never really did anything tangible to block his success/eating.
I'm gonna need a better example.
Thank you for the receipts tho @Mike Wins

If you make good/great music consistently, you can't get blackballed

Tory Lanez is gonna put this to the test soon.

A lot of rappers say they've been black balled when they can't make Hits anymore,but which ones do you think actually got black balled? I'd say it's 6ix9ine for snitching (but not for sexual and domestic abuse weird), 50 before signing to em, and B.O.B for being a dumbass. I wonder if Tory will get black balled.

69 is the opposite of blackballed

Fbg Duck, dude had 2 songs with over 20 million views, and countless others with millions of views as well. Couldn't even get a KaySlay interview, thats when you know, something aint right.

Lupe Fiasco and that’s because of Atlantic records.

That’s not even an industry secret anymore.
Every other song is GDK out now with the “popularity” crowd.

GDs still make waves with their independent grind and never lack on credibility instead of being media manufactured.

(RIP to the fallen - deeper than rap it seems though, smh)

He had videos with ZackTV that legitimatized him. Fuk KaySlay. He’s too busy posing/posting with old and obese IG thots reliving his King Magazine glory days. His insta is pathetic. Need a purge of him, tired ass fraud Flex and Rot 97 to bring in new modern personalities that are actually in tune with the times. 60 yr olds acting like they are hip to the culture trying to front on the newer rappers blocking them all the time or throwing shade. No one listens to regular radio anyway - they need social media directors and independent public relations specialists to work with them and help them build up their own platforms to bypass all these petty industry b.s.

Lil Flip was for a bit due to T.I. being sensitive and Scarface being a liar

 

[Dwight Howard]

How Dexter get black balled?

I like Dex... who stopping my boy shine?

Drug addiction made him a liability from a label standpoint.

 

[Threnody]

Every member of the Firm except Nas is/or was blackballed at some point
