Rappers that have been blackballed by the industry.

[GMoney]

Azealia Banks is probably blackballed after that RZA incident.

Ya'll do not know what blackballed means. Words have definitions. They don't mean what you feel like you want them to mean.

 

[nieman]

People not fukking with you isnt being blackballed you morons

You beef with this person and all his friends cut u off..
It's how society works

But that's blackballed for thee industry tho. There's always gonna be someone in the industry that they can find to give the a hand here and there, but overall....

Jay saying "if y'all let Chris Brown perform a MJ tribute, me nor Beyonce will have shyt t do with your station" is blackballing.

But in most cases, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes. However, DJ with Budden is a blackball. There was no real reason for The Growth to be shelved. he had enough of a fanbase, that he was cultivating via the internet. At that time, he was releasing hella music. Dude could record a track and release it the next day. Besides, he has songs about what happened on MM1.

 

[nieman]

you might be joking but this is very true.

On the last episode of Making The Band, dude from Bad Boy is essentially telling the members of Da Band they will be black balled once they leave Bad Boy.

He specifically told Fred "You think you are going to go sign with a label in Miami? No one in this industry is going to go against Puff's decision"

15+ years Fred has yet to return to a major record label.

Reign Man (MTV's battle champ) was on the first season of Making the Band. In an interview, he was saying that he wanted to leave and people for the show & MTV were telling him don't do it cause Puff will blackball him. He left anyway...I guess he was blackballed cause he released a dis track about it.

 

[DarkmanX]

by that logic, the general public doesn't care about any rapper until the label push comes.

Uhh thats basically how it is.

 

[Lil Diddy]

Fill me in here, i never heard about reese, I just heard rumors he was sick (he got Crohn's I or something) how did Reese get blackballed for beating up a chick but famous Dex out here still

Maybe cuz Dex almost lost when he was throwing hands with his girl

It was around the time Chief Keef's debutcame out and they were all posing to blow up to some degree. Then, this shyt slid out and he fell off the face of the Earth.

I'm sure he is/was still out here doing his thing, but Def Jam pulled all the way back on him after that.

Not sure why Dex's label didn't cancel him, but hey

edit: prolly cuz dex is signed to a smaller label

laugh if you want but LIL MAMA. When u look at what Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are doing, Lil Mama actually should been bigger. she should have been the voice of the young people. But because she didn't sell sex or was a thot like MInaj or Cardi she got blackballed. Because she got caught up in the moment and got on stage with Jay and Alicia, she got blackballed.

If you remember being around when this was all going down, Joe budden's claim was that Def Jam refused to release any music he made after Jay took over. Took tracks from his second album and released them unfinished as mood muzik 2. He then stop making music for years till Jay stepped down. Some time after that he was dropped for being inactive. Budden claims that this move was on purpose to get him released from his contract.

During all this Joe budden was building his brand on the Internet where he couldn't be silenced. He's managed to keep himself relevant enough on the Internet so they can't just ignore him.

I also remember them fukking up the release of his first album by not releasing focus as a single even tho it was already hot on the streets. They released trash as fire. He coulda sold more but his sales were good enough to warrant a second album, which created the notion that Jay z had him blackballed.

I wouldnt say he was black balled.

Joe Budden went on to be a morning host at Hot 97.

Blackballing an artists, especially a popular artist, is difficult, because music is a much more fluid media than something like a movie.

but when the industry dont get behind it, it doesnt have its place in history.

This

Makes it so hard to have decent convos on here. Pure idiots.

"We're not talking about the text book definion"

"I feel that"

@Wacky D stays stupid. And the rest of y'all just throwing every failed artist on the list.

 

[TheRtist]

about the Em & MGK stuff.

Em is not powerful enough to black ball anyone.. He just exists on his own island protected by Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine. Thats part of the reason Em was able to get behind 50 who was black balled by Murder Inc. Murder Inc.'s power didnt touch Em's island, the same way Em cant touch Bad Boy (MGK). He can only stop MGK from what Em controlls, which is Shade 45.

It's about black balled the definition not what you feel it is

This is just what Joe budden was claiming around that time.
