Also, NORE one of the most industry *****s ever. And made it known 1000 times.
The actual concept of Drink Champs is kind of sinister. Streaming Record execs (Lyor - YouTube. Diddy - revolt). Bring old rappers from yester-years…to “give flowers” while they are drunk and high out of their mind. And reminisce on the years where they were getting financially raped by the industry. And them telling these stories generates revenu. Which the same execs recouping again in ad dollars. Straight off of “their stories”.
NORE used to ask “independent or industry” to his guest when Drink champs first started. And he’d answer honestly every time, about how he loves the industry and the machine. And used to speak so highly about Mike Kyser, Julie Greenblat, Joeyie, Lyor, Kevin Lyles etc. all those execs. If you listen to him and understand where he comes from, you see why. Because it seems like he really couldn’t imagine, being in the spot he’s in.
What’s crazy is the grooming and “mentorship” that was done to the “black moguls” by the industry execs in the early to mid 00s, and the marketing that went behind it. From Jay-Z magazine covers, dressed in suits with rich white billionares. The media spinning it to the public as benevolent white billionaire, giving business knowledge to precocious young black entrepreneur. On one hand, it could be some spook by the door ****. But they all immediately sold us overpriced Liquor and high priced clothing as their big business endeavors. Now owning media companies for perception.
Ray Diallo, calling himself “Diddy’s mentor” on Ray Diallo’s own YouTube channel. What a way to son *****s
But hey man. They learned “that game”…and using it to exploit their own today. It’s happening again today, with Robert Craft & Michael Rubin etc. Great article.
Always understood why mos def left it all alone, and he said it in real time. But watching it play out, is really a mind ****.
