Keri Hilson for sure got blackballed by Beyonce

no question
No she fukking wasn't

Who stopped this chick from dropping music ?
She had her own money, talent(supposedly) and a big fan base
Beyonce was telling producers,venues,labels not to fukk with her?
That ain't enough to stop a talented artist with a gang of fans
This ain't 94 nikka
She could release a song with a video on YouTube today and get half a billion views
Everybody would be be fiending for the album

She ain't doing all that cuz she ain't that good...period

She wants a huge contract,big advance,a team of producers,a street team,huge promo etc
bytch you ain't Beyonce..

Make your own moves.. release your own music then all the distributors will fukk with you

Muthafukkas got excuses for days

Dumb nikkas talking about Mic Geronimo was blackballed
Dude sold the fukk out and signed with Puffy.. y'all forgot that already?
Riding around in a video with shiny suits?

My mans flopped hard and called it quits...nothing more to it

If Eazy-E was "blackballed", whoever did so did a shytty fukking job of it. If Eazy was blackballed, he wouldn't a) be going double platinum, b) be given the time of day to promote Bone Thugs, ATL, etc., and c) he sure as hell wouldn't be allowed on Arsenio Hall calling Dre a studio gangsta, exposing the fact he still makes money off of Dr Dre, calling him a cross-dresser, performing "Real Motherfukking G's", and showing a picture of Dre with the Wreckin' Cru.



Also, Ruthless left Priority, not the other way around.

Relativity to distrib Ruthless rap


I agree he even appears on Yomtv raps in 94


and he appears on In Living color in the same year

Interscope blackballed Benzino & Ja Rule, they also had the Feds on them. Zino along with The Source went into bankruptcy and Murder Inc got investigated for laundering money.

Joe Budden is the mouthpiece of the industry's favorite rapper; The cac they can prop up as the white savior of hip hop.
He is a millionaire signed to Shady Records who ensure his sheltered pov is on TV and radio at all times. wtf are you talking about...

1 star

Blackballed artists are ppl like Azeala Banks where white jews and hollywood cacs make it known through the industry Do Not work with or push this artist.
Lol banks isn't black balled she's just an insane person. fukked her own career by being a head case

Irv couldnt have stopped a major label from signing 50 especially with the type of earning upside he had then singles dont mean shyt :stopitslime:

You obviously weren't paying attention then or haven't seen any documentaries or interviews about that time period. Irv & Murder Inc. most def blocked 50.

50 talks about the industry politics & blackball calls explicitly here at @4:40



Again @3:50


Few DJs wanted to mess with him except for outlaws like Whoo Kid. Everybody told Em not to sign 50. Supreme was still free and Murder Inc was on top of the world. Add in the fact 50 dissed Trackmasters & Columbia. Everybody was shook.

Chris Lighty took a HUGE risk managing 50 and it got Violators Management's office shot up.

This podcast about Chris Lighty goes into detail about it @10:00.



50 Cent is not supposed to exist. In recent interviews Irv has admitted he tried to shut him down early.

Right! Like somebody said Mic Geronimo... blackballed how? Unless someone went out of their way to ensure that he never got work again in the rap game, he was not blackballed. He put out two albums, neither of which even went gold, left that label, and then hip-hop was moving into an era where going platinum was the goal... what label would be dying to sign Mic, or better yet, what great opportunities would he be getting blocked from and by whom?

Idk about this tho. Cuz around his 2nd album Irv was trying to get Mic to sign him as a manager.
When he refused, Irv & him fell out & thats when he practically "dropped" Mic and we never heard
from him until 6 years later, and a even smaller indie label.

And Irv was the one who got him the TVT deal.

Now im not saying its blackballing, but it is close to it.
