Fame is more important than riches (to a weak man)meech was a moron, how do u have a multi million dollar drug empire and promote urself with bill boards
My question about all this is if assimilation into the music industry was their goal, why didn't they attack it more intently. Everything from
Payola (force their struggle raps down our throat in all major urban radio markets)
Competent Artist (Bleu Davinci )
Visibility (rap city, 106 & park, flood the net)
Major co-signs (well they actually attempted this with Fab, Jada, Diddy... But the Jay Z/Jeezy angle could've been the greatest co-sign by far)
The only attempt I seen them actually put effort into was that 12 page spread in the Source, but as the saying goes, "if you wanna hide something from a nikka....
There ineptness would fly as a cautionary tale in the "do the wrong thing right" narrative throughout this thread.
So would u attribute that lack of connection to ego or stigma?They did everything you suggested....you have to understand the first thing Meech did was incorporate the BMF brand
he knows business well....BMF was even eating off of music soundtracks....thier producer who caught the money laundering charge did the Dreamgirl soundtrack starring whitney houston and jamie foxx
People always talk about the "club lifestyle" of BMF...but failed to realize Meech owned a few clubs such as Club Babylon formerly Chaos where wolf got shot at........and also entered into a joint venture with Crobar in miami...
they also operated a well respected "security" outfit that has protected everybody from Jay-Z to WC
hell BMF even made a dent in the professional boxing field ....by sponsoring fighters like Zab Judah
but when you come out with ads in the Juice magazine saying "the indy that does everything MAJOR"
it scares off alot of these jewish distributors and power brokers in the industry ..who really don't wanna partner up and do business wit ya
ONE WORD: BLACKBALL
cats that come with thier own money back then in the early 2000's were a threat....cause the industry just wanted you in debt
just like Bleu Davinci said they had 500,000 dollar budgeted videos coming outta thier own pocket that didn't see the light of day on BET
cause "phone calls" were being placed to media outlets by the feds that they would be considered part of the "conspiracy" if they promoted BMF
like Jeezy said..the association alone was threatning....that's why he had to get Diddy to walk him thru stations and meetings cause the industry cats didn't want anything to do with them
and it was funny considering most of the indys along with the majors dabbled in some "street money" but when you do on the level BMF was doing....... it's much different...
So would u attribute that lack of connection to ego or stigma?
stigma defintily...............
Cause the industry is based on EGO...but when you can SOLIDIFY that ego with REALITY ...
then people whom are use to being GAMED ON or LIED TO....have a problem with the real
and they stigmitize you AS YOU BEING THE PROBLEM..when it's ACTUALLY THEM
thier INTIMIDATED...AND JEALOUS
these cats own thier own WHIPS, MANSIONS, CLUBS, and didn't have to depend on corporate america for shyt...they just wanted to come in the game ON THIER TERMS...
and the industry didn't like that
think about it...Bleu Davinci said they got thier first distribution deal courtesy of SUGE KNIGHT......NOT diddy........they did things thier way..and didn't play the politics of the game
BMF got praised for thier great relationships througout the industry....
but if you view yourself as a "generous" person you will find that people feel intimidated by ya.............
cause they worry about how they look in front of others cause they are NOT YOU...
So instead of a helping hand..you get blackballed
regardless how much money you have.....because black folks rather COMPETE with each other than NETWORK....
So was it by grand design to throw Jeezy to the masses under a different umbrella (actually 2 @ the time) or was that a reactionary move?
Baby Bleu got murked by his girl homie...More cases of them getting wacked than of them killing other dudes. Baby Blue got murked like 2 years later not even a block north of where Wolf got killed and everybody in Atlanta knew who did it. He still walking around the city to this day. Plus there are a couple cats that snitched on them that are still alive too.
That guy was a fukking idiot, he made so much guap and had to floss SUPER hard. He had m's and could have sat down but Atlanta dudes let these hoes pump their heads up and they end up fukked.
My nikka T-White
his girl as in girlfriend breh? Or his girl homie as his girls homie breh. Reword that I'm lost? Elaborate.Baby Bleu got murked by his girl homie....
Baby Bleu got murked by his girl homie...
You're right about them not really being that violent though, my homie kinda tried them while we were at the strip club years ago and I just knew we would probably get beat down or shot later that night and I was kinda shook but I didn't show it. When I made it home I was still kinda noid but I was very surprised they didn't fukk us up. I have seen Meech a few times and that nikka looked like the devil himself, drug dealers on that level have no soul and shouldn't be looked up to.
