The Entertainment Industry is a great way to "wash" money...


Oh yeah I understand that. So does your money look "cleaner" affiliated with a Major Label, rather than independent? I would think the alphabet boys wouldn't care either way. :yeshrug:

Yes.

Entertainment money is very difficult to track so they don't really bother unless you're being reckless. Most "businesses" were started with dirty money. They're not stupid but it's just not worth their time.

A lot of these artists are nothing more then slaves to backers & use "touring" as an excuse to why they have so much money when if you do your research they all lie about how much they're getting paid per show.

In light of the Kevin Gates thread & @The HONORABLE SKJ speaking GOSPEL about Money not meaning much when it comes to securing a situation in the Music Industry, I would like to share a story I was part of. Now anyone from Chicago knows recently that a video was released from an artist who no one had heard from in nearly a decade & even though FakeShoreDrive did interview the artist I realized he didn't tell the WHOLE story.

This is why it takes more then money to be successful in the Music Industry.

They literally recorded an entire album, shot 2 videos & arrogantly approached labels expecting to get a Million Dollar Record Deal with absolutely NOTHING to back it up other then spending money. This is what happens when you don't handle your business, aren't a likable person & have no respect for the game.



It is true that you can't move around in this game without either Resources, Relationships & Finances, but RELATIONSHIPS rise above all else. ...

The key word which sums up this whole discussion is ARROGANCE .........

It is the one sole factor that caused me to sever ties with two previous business partners.....

thier fukking arrogance costed us some major deals we had on the table as well as fukked up some great relationships we had obtained


even though Business is a Cut Throat gangsta azz field

Humility ..Loyalty and Consistency will always give you the longevity you need in this game....and most importantly The RESPECT which will allow you to walk without FEAR and in DIGNITY

:ohhh: or :duck:?

what you're saying sounds credible. that song is so 2004. Proving that hot sounds at a time sound lame and corny a decade later

Song was made around 2004... I'm not sure if I made that clear but it was around the time Kells was killing the game with the 2-3 Guitar Lick beats...
