So what happened to Polow Da Don?

[jadillac]

I remember a long time ago someone on here alluded to Polow Da Don having been blackballed from the industry, but they didn't say why.

Can anybody speak on it?

Was dude just strong arming other cats out of their work and putting his name on it? Or was it something else?

Polow da don for a fact got cut off because of his horrible attitude and the way he treated folks. I said it in another thread but he was one of those people who thought he could walk on water when he got his deal.
You can blame him for not getting another rich boy album and Keri's Larry Holmes status. He went from being BFF with jimmy to doing the odd track here and there. And he played a part in ushers divorce

Things that Polow did that potentially led to him not getting work like he was from '06-'08:

1) He allegedly leaked Usher's "Love In This Club" before it's official release. Though it reached #1 on the charts, there was still some fuss over it.

2) He was accused of stealing pre-made beats from Garageband and passing them off as his:

3) He was dissing a lot of other producers. I remember him saying he was better than Premier and a couple of other legendary producers back in '06-'07

Unless he boned Usher or Tameka, how'd this nikka play a part in the divorce??

Also people found out Hit-Boy played a LARGE role in his success. With everything yall said, folks didnt want to deal w/ him anymore and just went straight to hit-boy

ahhh, I forgot Hit Boy was with him. Hit Boy and Chase N Cash.....but I guess Hit Boy was doing most of the work b/c I havent heard much from Chase the past few years. He was fairly cool though when I used to post on FutureProducers.

I heard they used to post on FP, I started in there just around the time they took off.

Well I dont know how yall felt about Mario song wit Nicki Minaj "Somebody Else" but that was my shyt. He produced that. Straight banger

There's also the fact that he also goes by Awesome Jones. I'm not sure if he still goes by Polow. As of late, he's been in the studio w/ Timbo and Danja. I'm guessing they are all on board for Keri's new album. Polow also co-produced Beyonce's "I Been On" (not "Bow Down", but the second half) w/ Timbaland and Soundz

Keri Hilson's 1st & 2nd Album put Interscope $5 Million in the hole... Polow has yet to pay that back... Jimmy Iovine said fukk 'em... Polow has been scrounging for album fillers ever since...
