I was a music manger when I lived in SC and one of my artists finally gained the attention of labels. This was back in 2004 and it wasn’t as easy to get on. I drove him to the label office and the man told me I had to stay in the lobby area. I thought it was weird the manager couldn’t go in the back with the artist. My artist ran out about 30 minutes and told me he was done & he’d never try to get on with a label again. He literally grabbed my arm and ran us out of that office. Till this day I have no idea what they tried to do to him but he quit music a few years later & now he’s a pastor. That was my first and last time managing secular artists.
@@unfilteredtruth5164 man I asked him for years what happened and he won’t expose it. I even asked his wife to find out and he won’t tell her either. I’m assuming because he was a real street dude that it was something gay related & he’s just uncomfortable speaking on it. He was shook tho and I never seen someone that shook in the eyes before.
@@MsRayBay Wow yea insane story, but yea MsRay just like this dirty demonic music business right in our face but we don’t acknowledge it as that, it’s the same with the God n Devil business ( Sin being wages of death in the after life 2nd death ) we don’t take serious even tho right in our face.
💫 Over 32 years ago. I had my heart set in getting into the music industry. Registered with BMI. Did music seminars. Worked and learned the business. But. It seemed like no matter what I did. Something got in the way. After 7 years. I just left it as fate not being on my side. This wasn't to be a part of my journey. Years would pass before i learned of the evil that has been in the industry for decades. All along. God was protecting me.
yes, he was, I completely understand. I'm an artist and God saved me from all this evil, my dream did not fully come true, I'm grateful He saved me from that.
To make it in the music industry you have to have the strongest discernment, morals set in stone, and be able to think like a wolf, while keeping the spirit of a lamb. Evil lives and walks among us, and the only way to protect yourself is through prayer, and using wisdom. 🙏🏽
Artists need to be struggling with the world, as we're e addicted to chaos & conflict by design. Being dead helps to reinforce your chance to succes as an artist...😆😆😆
Nonono. You can't make it in the music industry unless you sell out. Which means forgetting about your morals, and the spirit of the lamb, and all that shit
The music business is very dark. You love your favorite singers and rappers. I believe they put dark spells into their music. The industry is not what you think! Please think before you get into the entertainment business.
@@jamarri7340 it's crazy because before I was an addict any song about oxy or Percocet would have no affect on me. But I can no longer listen to a song bout drugs cause it tempts me to contact a connection to get some. I could feel the evil.
@@andrewbrunnette1412 You really think tethering yourself to a corporation will fair much better? They have no intention of getting you paid. In fact, they actively work against it. You're much better off being independent. At least you'll have control over your brand. I'd much rather work a decent 9 to 5 and make the music I want without any limitations.
@@docmcfly3933 that’s great I like that better for swims reason I want to be famous I feel like the only way to do that is to have a label to promote me cause self promotion goes unnoticed to much
The Devil masquerading as an angel of light, a carefully crafted illusion so you don’t see all the muck and evil chaos oozing behind the blinding lights.
Damn, That's why they say "Not all that glitters is gold", The Music industry is connected to a lot of evil entities. For sure we live in an evil world
This phrase is hard for me to understand because I don't know if it means what it literally says, which is that gold does not glitter, or if it's grammatically incorrect and should say "not all that glitters is gold." I'm not sure if gold falls into the classification of things that glitter, but I assume it does, which would mean this phrase does not say what it's supposed to say.
With people warning you about the cartel/mafia, and how this puts a target on you, I want to remind you, “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” Luke 12:4-5
This is very accurate and on point bruh. When I was saying it back in the day - there were no social technology platforms to get this information on a mass scale. Everyone just wanted the fantasy of the entertainment industry to stay intact. Well done.
Little Richard told me about these activities many years ago…. He was a member of my church and a longtime friend, but there’s much more than you’ve mentioned here.
I used to want to be a singer so bad when I was young and I almost got signed into the music industry when I was 14 years old by a producer that used to work with Brian McKnight ,I also got accepted for the Disney Channel and I’m so glad that I never went through with any of it you couldn’t pay me enough especially after how much I know now when it comes to the darkness that is hidden within it there’s a absolutely nothing glorious about it outside of all of the lies they are way too weird for my personal liking. I don’t judge them by their life style, but it’s definitely definitely something I don’t want to be a part of.
i think in life we are born & bred in such a way that it is SOO outside our habits/comforts/wayOFlife/knowledge to know anything different. So one day we decide to pursue music. As we figure out how to make it "work" we look for example's, guidance and/or teams... Then it seems uber discouraging when things don't go well. Even MORE discouraging when it seems like someone else has it figured out :( I mean, It does suck that in almost every other avenue in life, people can get help. Something about being a musician brings out craziness in others. it sure does. i think that craziness is just caz people are taught that 'some' lucky winner musicians get unlimited money & fame. That brings out the vulture zombie hunter in others. . . I have a song that is about >> people eating people with money teeth . I say, just make music. Forget about the world's involvement in your project. Forget about needing things from others regarding your project. If you think about it > how would it be 'your' project if you needed all these other people to make it happen < and I bet that sentence brews a DEEP reaction/defensiveness in some people. my response is merely>>yeah, just re-read my very very first sentence of this comment.
The military, the alphabets, the police, big business...it's all hollywood and entertainment industry. We independent Artists have to snatch it from them because Art is life, but they gonna make it hard as hell
Ever since I was 15, I started waking up to the evil world we live in and industries that run it. With the current path I’m on, I’ll be going into the film/music industry and it’s something I’m not entirely looking forward to because I don’t wanna be associated with other weird and predatory men. Recently, I even had my own crazy experience with a public figure who propositioned me with something (to say the least) in return for payment and connecting me with his people and when I said no, he started getting agitated and saying I’m “not willing to do what it takes to make it” amongst other things. I had always heard of people experiencing what I went through, but it was crazy to actually go through that myself and that let me know what games had to be played to make it and such
@@cueshq789 yeah you are totally right I’m guilty of putting myself/body/mind through the some of the worst life adversity just to try and keep my soul in place but amen
I've always believed that the music industry is the most demonic thing on earth (film and tv aren't too far behind). No one should own anyones god given talent. So glad that the world is waking up about the illusion of celebrities. I believe Lil Rod, and it's such a shame that this horrible stuff happened to him. I hope he continues to make music on his own terms.
Wow Game! You're a truly special individual! Thank you for sharing these truths and for gutting it out in your craft and delivering value and guidance to us. Much love. ✌🏾❤️
New York City, late 1970's and early eighties. If you walked the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan or the Bronx on a saturday, you'd come upon a block party or they be setting up for a block party that day. So we'd double back and it would turn into a dope jam. They would have stacks of speakers and shiny new McIntosh, Cerwin Vega, Crown, Phase Linear amps. I'd wonder...where'd they get the money for all this dope ass equipment. Ah ha, the drug game. The DJ's would have crew or affiliates. It was the same thing when the disco's started in New York.The first disco's were restaurants with the tables removed and or hotel ballrooms. There was always someone circulating in the crowd that had anything you want. Who would think that when you listen to your fav song on the radio and your humming along, what went into the making of that song. And it's a shame that in most situations someone got ripped off as well either by the label, the manager, the promoter or even the club owner. And you with stars and dollar signs in your eyes are thinking; yeah i'm doing the damn thing. Guess again. If it ain't in writing and you don't or aren't seeing any real money then it's most likely you who's getting ripped off. The music game can be seedy, cut throat, dangerous and weird all at the same time.
@@jaideveremy4371 if you think that’s fucked up, look into the medal of freedom. It’s literally the government giving medals to those who follow the agenda “like Ellen, Tom hanks, etc..” Crazy how the government is allowed to shape the public opinion of those in media “If they’re getting an award surely they’re good for society”
this was the biggest gem about the music industry eye ever seen! i dont think this couldve been explained any better than how u did .. eye hope you do more videos like this not about music industry but jus things in life general we all need to hear as humans that podcasting type shiii 🔥🔥💯💯💜💜
Thank you for sharing. I got out. The hard rock / grunge scene was the same only it was more drug and sex involved. I got pretty far up but left because it destroys the spirit. Their time is up. God Bless and Carry On Brother. Subbed Wa, State 🙌
As Americans we should stand together against all this evil. And why shame this man who may help bring light to this evil. We as human beings can wake up and try to love and live a decent life then no one would trip on pride or power trip. I know I’m not the only one who’s praying constantly to Jesus the true living God for peace! Christ will have the last laugh repent and believe in Jesus before it’s too late, in Christ amen!
U probably get this a lot but I replayed that Drake tutorial you made back in the day for hours. One of the true OGs that need their flowers. Nd now you’re exposing the truths for the next gen. Thank you for your work 🙏
Since I started back in 2014, you were one the guys that gave us the information that you were able to provide from your perspective. We thank you for you service AND your drum kits !
Rappers been washing their money thru the music industry for 30+ years AKA how Trap Music came about meanwhile ppl think artists are making all their money from their music lmaoooo
@@Danthomas829 Yep. That's why "Meech" got into that shit. Just lost his way partying too fkn much and talking on that phone lol. You know a lot of those parties were deals going on in the club. That's why they'd lock it down when they show up. That bottle popping shit was a front too. Can't front on EXTACY though! lolol
Makes sense. I remember it came out that one was a scammer, like credit card lol and folks were shocked. I’m like when was the last time you bought a CD, they’re not as “wealthy” as you think.
I definitely believe the stories I've heard about those disgusting diddy parties and I believe everything cassie and others have came forward with and after seeing the video of diddy attacking cassie I can only imagine all the other horrifying stuff that either wasn't captured or hasn't been leaked yet. He's a monster and I don't think he's the only one in the music industry that is just as horrible. I think we'll be seeing more come out about it in the future.
I was in music for the passion, found out what it really is and had to adapt! DONT CHANGE THE PERSON YOU ARE AND DONT SELL YOUR SOUL! You can still win and feed your family just have to understand what you thought it was it’s not! NOBODY CARES WORK HARDER
Why is it sad, they could use NFTs instead of music atleast they are supporting. Even drug money is still funding. Could be worse than drugs like foreign overthrow, or enslavement. End of the day addiction and self destructive choices in life are a personal choice everyone is going to pass anyway so what is so bad about some people enjoying themselves in a way that destroys themselves quickly, and not all drugs will destroy you, technical food and water are chemicals too. I think making healthy lifestyle choices can help people find happiness but whether it is a chemical in a powder from or a juicy burger there are limits on what the body can take before it destroys self. IMO all the criminalization stuff is probably what perpetuates a culture of abuse rather than people accessing stuff that is good and people use it in a way that is relatively responsible and non self destructive. IMO the music industry should be happy anyone is funding them. I don't personally use illicit drugs but I am eating canned pork right now and I realize if I were taking MDMA instead right now in the right dose it might be less destructive than the pork.
This dude knows what's up , im from mexico , he has the facts right even not being from here , i'm from one of mexicos hot spots for covert cartel activity , meaning "nice quiet neighborhood" , lots of human traficcking, peple missing , all young women being exposed to "being madamed" at any given day by one of their own friends , those business are all covered up by the "local economy" meaning these people take the slavery and prostitution money and put on "small local shops" such as grocery, fruit , "car washes" , car engineering / mechanics. On a side note what crushed me is to see women actually interested in such , like some of mexicos biggest femalemurder cases or public in the media point to have happened in ways that most people don't understand because it lacks the part where there wasn't a crazy stalker guy involved , but a lot of them happen at "partys" where people "network" , so a lot of these people knew exactly where they were going to make business , it just went wrong at some point, horrible horrible things , too heartbreaking and paradigm view of the world altering , so sad , may god or love or the universe or whatever is the representation of good to you be with us because damn, stuff is effed up.
Truly, this video was so helpful! I am a growing musician and I have big dreams of fulfilling all my creative visions but I want to make sure I’m doing it the right way, and showing love in the world with an end result of love, not twisted into something corrupt. I’m not in the music industry yet but this was so helpful to learn about the ways artists truly are controlled. Thank you I will not forget this advice, and god bless you man 🌸🌸
Jesus is king. Lord I know you have a purpose for me. Even though at times I do not understand. I have complete trust in you. Heavenly Father. Being a single mom with two children with special needs is overwhelming at times. Every month is a struggle to get by. But as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. God give me strength.❤️
I've been watching the channel to try and learn FL Studio. I'm not a religious person, but from a moral standpoint -- and as a career DJ/performer -- I appreciate where you're coming from on how the dark side of the music business functions. That said, would you be down to do a follow-up and talk about some examples of people who were able to gain success without getting sucked into that dark side?
Some people in the Music Industry are Trapped, some are sellouts, some r cowards, some brave, some ok but have no pull 😁 and some r just no-good. Somebody gotta be the scapegoat ... somebody have to be the Fall Guy. Some of their asses gotta take one for the Team. 💰 The world 🌎 is Ying-yang. 💯 Plus... good and evil Spirits are real. 💯 Most people are in the dark as usual. Sometimes they eventually understand but a lot of times they never know the real deal. There's a sucker born everyday. God Speed. 🙌🙏
The fun of music culture is in its hedonistic accoutrements. Having pleasure and joy get corrupted by hurting people drags it down to evil. Record labels' investment in for-profit carceral system furthers exploitation.
When I was younger I thought it would be amazing to be a singer and become famous! As I grew and learned more about the truth in that industry I thank God I didn't get involved in it!! Sometimes when you want something and it doesn't happen you are being protected from evil. God bless you all
Thank you for exposing this I pray more people in all areas of our world come forward and expose this evil. The Scripture states we are to expose the evil and bring it into the light.
I took the love away from music production a while ago for myself, and hearing stories like this is essentially “never meet your hero’s” in a sense. I like this type of vid!
@@TheRav3n crazy how the ones you look up to the most end up disappointing in real life, shattering the deep admiration we have. lil quill def disappointed me over text. Just goes to show how this system is keeping those passionate about music OUT because they don’t sell themselves for the agents
What tripped me out is when I started to learn about Shirley Temple. Of course I've always known who she was and what she was known for. But i never questioned the movies and roles that she did. I was born in '89, so it was a little antsy to sit there and watch the black n white shows but curiosity made me able to watch and OMG!!! when I watched and listened and watched some more and then learned of the parents motives I was behooved! (they only cared about their daughter making them money no matter what). This is a sick and cruel world that we live in. And the name of one of her movies is Virgi. I thought I was trippn and misreading it, thinking that her characters' name was Virginia. But nope! It was "Virgi" for a reason. Sp much more...............
Been a fan of yours since 2018 since I started producing, been a huge help to the community my man. Appreciate you calling out the industry for what it is so no one is blind sided by the evil that lurks. Keep it real G 🙏🏻
We have been learning for quite a while now that the music industry is in fact very evil, but this video had substance and has very valuable information. So thank you brother and God bless! 🙏
back in the 90's with the rise off the hardcore scene in the netherlands , there where party's everywhere. but most off the smaller venue's income came off the profit off selling alcohol..But well.. most of the visitors didn't need alcohol to party all night through. So there where certain places which turned off the water in the bathrooms ,just to sell you water. and some had there own "associates" to sell the s... and shared their profits with the owners... So some people where caught by the "security" , and then offered to buy back the goods they just confiscated. But what you described with how they lure in women..damm that's way more evil imho.. thank you for this video
The entertainment business is nothing more than just a cover for illegal trades and money laundering that actually takes place. It's basically organised crime that takes place from behind the scenes. As long as the illusions of wealth, popularity, and influence are shown to the masses, you will never comprehend what the artists actually had to do to achieve those successes. It's a place of broken dreams and vices that ruin a person, and the more you align yourself with some of these sick individuals, the sicker you end up. In most cases, the abused go on to become the abuser if no help is properly sought after. The entertainment business has always had strong ties to mobs and cartels. And when you follow the money, you'll be shocked to discover who the real players are behind the scenes. Always stay prayed up no matter what. "All that glitters is never gold."
we are entering the Aquarius age for the next 20 years. This is why the truth is coming out, and why people are stopping to care about hierarchy. For the last 20 years, we had Capricorn and the cap thrives on hierarchy and status, image, climbing all the time
you needed to say this everyone will realize this eventually its crazy how naive young kids are getting into music thinking its all about having fun making music
People should already be able to tell that the industry period is evil! Why do you think a lot of people who used to be famous leave the industry or come out and say it’s evil? It happens with actors and artists. It’s sad. A lot of people aren’t the same once they leave or if they stay in too long smh
