"Come on, Snoop Dogg's good brother WarrenG signed DefJam, you know?"
Derry didn’t notice his unhappiness. “In fact, WarrenG is also my half-brother, but you know, this kind of blood relationship can be a bit awkward, so he is basically talking to Snoop Dogg and Knight. The Gougou brothers mix, they have a 213 combination in three groups. It was he who gave me the demo of the combination, and I discovered the talent of Snoop Dogg."
213 combinations...
Song Ya almost laughed, "I'm just asking about the specific business." He shook his head blankly, "Isn't WarrenG signed on Death Row Records?" He remembered that a group of Ruthless Records followed Derry to Death Row Records.
"Sugnett doesn't like him."
Derry didn't want to talk about the internal affairs of the death row record. "Anyway, you can help take care of that kid in DefJam, although he is older than you."
"That's it?" You should set off firecrackers to celebrate after being kicked by Sugnat? Song Ya smiled and picked up the microphone, "I say hello to President Lyle Cohen, it should be fine."
"Aha, it's not that simple."
Derry stopped him, "WarrenG is from the West Coast, DefJam is from the East Coast label, and the old man inside is very opinionated about you. You have to... be strategic in this matter."
"Oh I see."
Song Ya understood. Derry wanted to take care of his brother, but he was afraid that he would be unhelpful if he showed up. After all, he had just bullied Russell Simmons. Even though he was already the largest individual shareholder of DefJam, that group of singers still did not Show tame. WarrenG was from the West Coast, in a delicate situation. Externally, it is best to pretend to have nothing to do with himself.
It's hard for Derry, a gangster rapper, to think so carefully, "That?"
"WarrenG was in charge of a song on the Justin's soundtrack that wrote poems not long ago, and it was very well received. He has also accumulated a lot of songs over the years, and he will be able to release the song next year.
Derry said: "You can help quietly, use the recording studio to announce resources or something, don't let him be bullied... I'll say hello over there, he will sell my face."
Song Ya readily agreed. It is estimated that Derry was embarrassed to speak to himself with a shelf at the beginning, and let Snoop Dogg do it, but he didn't expect that he would not answer Snoop Dogg's call.
"and also……"
Derui left the premise and started one thing, "TheSource magazine will hold the first Source Music Awards in April next year, which is only for rap artists. This is the first award that is entirely our own. You will go too, right? "
"TheSource Magazine?"
Song Ya knew that this magazine admired herself very much at the beginning, especially after The single became popular, and then she fought with Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons~www.mtlnovel.com~ Their attitudes began to become mixed. Up. After Fergie's LondonBridge came out, he became more completely hostile, often cursing himself in the article that he shouldn't go to a white female Rapper, and help white people enter the black music field.
This magazine is also very fond of making troubles. Many Diss among Rappers have been fired because of them.
The two sides of the public opinion "on the shelf" were unable to come down, so they had to fight each other to the end for the sake of face.
"Forget it, they don't like me." Song Ya shook his head.
"You have to go." Derry said: "Everyone will go, East Coast, West Coast, South... The first music award that belongs to the Rapper group itself, the credibility is enough, and those who don't help to improve will be collectively rejected. And you, the Chicago rap boss, don’t go, can Chicago Rapper be able to raise his head in front of Rappers elsewhere in the future?"
"Fxxk, where is the kidnapping set by public opinion again?"
"new York."
"Of course, they are the East Coast media, and they have a good relationship with the New York gang, such as bragging fathers. The irony is that this is actually a Jewish magazine." Song Ya complained.
"Jews can remain neutral in the fight against the old black, right? What are you afraid of? You are now a DefJam record shareholder, and they have to fill the magazine with the news of your singers!"
Derry's words also make sense, Song Ya wryly smiled: "Rapper in the theater?"
"Rapper full of theater."
"A gun battle won't break out, right?" Song Yanao made up the black and overwhelming picture, feeling dangerous just thinking about it.
"Hahana is not good."
"..."
"No, maybe not... right?"

The Music Award, and it’s the first music award held by this magazine. If it’s not as important as Derry said, Song Ya would definitely ignore it, "So if I really want to go, I must first win over others. Otherwise, I will be in a bad situation at the Rapper National Convention in New York."
Song Ya understands those rappers, because they are on the streets and most of them have gang backgrounds. Their gang complex, regional complex, and even neighborhood complex are very heavy. Needless to say, the heart knot between the east and west coasts and the lame gangs, just like New York. In the city, there has been the "Bridge Battle" between Queens and the Bronx, and other singers, large and small, DISS with each other, and it is not uncommon for people to shoot to death. Basically, there is a clear distinction between the districts and the gangs and the districts and gangs.
He currently has the best relationship with NAS and Rakim in Queens, but NAS has gained fame. Unfortunately, the status of "Jianghu" is not enough, and Rakim has enough status. However, after a major decline in popularity in the past two years, he has closed himself and has less and less appeared in In public.
During the festival are the bragging fathers of Harlem, Jodeci, Mary Blige, Biggie and others. Since Harlem is located in northern Manhattan and lives closest to the media, the relationship is very good. The New York music media is very keen. Yu touted Mary Blige and the budding Biggie.
Of course, Biggie is actually a person who went out in Brooklyn. Mary Blige is from the Bronx. These two districts have the most black residents and the greatest influence. The relative resources of singers are also abundant. Talents ran out and exchanged a lot. Now, the mentality is relatively less closed.
The most popular Rapper in Brooklyn used to be Daddy Kane. This guy is getting angry faster than Rakim, and he doesn't get much attention now.
There is a rookie group Wudang faction (Wu-) headed by producer RZA on Staten Island.
The foundation of DefJam is these major black communities. The leading figure is natural. Although the guy is also from Queens, he has a sleek personality and a more rational career plan. After his popularity fell, he used the bought radio station to stabilize the decline. I often promote newcomers from various regions of New York in the program, and I am always happy to give newcomers the opportunity to be exposed, so I still eat well in New York.
"Now in DefJam records, there are a series of individuals and groups such as DJIrv, 3rdBass, PublicEnemy, SlickRick, EPMD, DMX, etc. in DefJam Records. In addition, they left OBR records in the early years. After 92 years, they were basically inherited by CHAOS records under Sony Columbia Records. That group of people, such as Oran\'Juice\'Jones, BeastieBoys, Tashan, etc., have maintained good relations with them."
NAS dialed the situation in New York over the phone. Except for a few newcomers from DMX, the others are basically old-fashioned, hardcore, political rap famous figures on the East Coast in the 1980s. Most of them can no longer sell records.
No wonder the huge losses every year...
Song Ya complained silently, "But it's not a helper, right?" he asked.
"Of course, he keeps a certain distance from the gang, and his personality is not suitable for being the boss..." NAS said, "but everyone just likes him.
