So Action Bronson is a total douchebag apparently

[HollywoodP]

SMH at sayin the nikka shoulda performed anyway. Alot of businesses don't take checks period...whether it be $5 $15 or $100...let alone $500...fukk outta here. Rule #1 to this touring shyt is get paid up front and every artist will tell you the same fukkin thing. Dont matter bout reputation. U think a nikka from a completely different state give a fukk about some random promoters rep. No...put the money in this hand or you aint gettin no concert. Any reputable promoter should already know the deal. So yeah...if a muthafukka takes time out of his calender and drives to yo city and the shyt aint seemin right of course tha nikka gon be mad. Easy for you to say he's a douchebag cuz you didn't get your way. nikka might have a family to support...bills to pay. I aint no Action Bronson fan but he dont seem like no douche to me.

Action Bronson was in Washington D.C. last night at The Howard Theatre, and during his set, he brought a handicapped kid on stage, gave him weed, let him freestyle, and then threw him over his shoulders while he spit "Larry Csonka." Now that's love.

Did anyone already quote his opening bar on Mac Miller's "Red Dot Music" or nah? :Patrice:

"I don't perform unless the money's in my pocket first....

 

[MINT]

$500 though??

the fukkin promoters couldn't come up with $500 on the spot?

Folks laughing at $2k a show (Which they should)...

And obviously, this dude should have at least showed up for the fans. Even if he didn't perform. But a check is a check. Sounds like miscommunication somewhere along the line. Or Bronson is a straight up a$$hole. Both sound plausible.

With that said, y'all can keep talking that "I would stay indie forever" route if you want to... gonna be doing a show a week just to clear $50k/year (artist only seeing about half that money per show).

Still better than a cubicle
