typical culture vulture-- a white kid in college RIGHT now has a better chance of getting a job at a record label or hip hop magazine than any black person
And that also explains why I no longer have been accepting offers to contribute as a writer.....
the platforms were not only inadequate but the professionalism was lacking with a lot of these so called black CEOs and editors I've dealt with..
I'm too grown and enlightened about business affairs to be conducting deals like it's a Drug Transaction
but like my brother always told me....
"negroes are SCARED of paperwork "
once I tell another business party that I do work on a contractual basis or that I'm gonna need to solicit their services via a notorized document. .....
then it's like
they look at u as not being a "real n!gga" or even worst the police
all because their IGNORANT azz wanna avoid legalities by all means
fine
so I just keep it moving...
it's a sign that I shouldn't be dealing with them anyway.....
also in regards to their quality. ....most urban brands or entities just don't. value the importance of,investing in themselves
I pleaded constantly with my former business partner to,provide a substantial BUDGET for us to operate on in regards to marketing and promotion. ....
he never listened
and within a year and a half we had to close up shop.....smh
but what do u expect with a guy had HORRIBLE money management skills and had no clue as far as how to,deal with investors and credit lines
that's why I respect cats like Al Haymon whom defy the stereotype that blackmen aren't capable of doing good business
and that's the problem here....
yall want better,exposure and representation of BLACK CULTURE you gotta do good BUSINESS. .
At the end of the day ART IS A PRODUCT. .
but iF U don't value the people that create and develop that product then you have NOTHING....

It's why I ALWAYS respected MURDER DOG MAGAZINE
They had nikkas in PRISON who could barley write doing they reviews...But that shyt was dope cause it was reviews FROM THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THE MUSIC WAS MADE FOR/FROM.
The founder Black Dog Bone said:
"I had no money, no knowledge of making a magazine, no knowledge of typing, my English was horrible, I was not trained as a reporter," he tells Noz. "I just did it because I wanted to do it."
It can be done brehs.

Nowadays, there are tons of outlets for black journalists to get there work out there.
The problem is....will you dudes support them?
just like I see great underground artists(even on here) posting music, or guys posting their blogs, or producers posting their beats,etc. if you don't support black ppl doing black things then you have NO ONE to blame but yourself.
on the flip side, the coli (can) be a great place to start a news blog..something like whathas/had that would allow the talent that is just on this site or around to have an outlet where ppl can read them.
@cook @Brooklynzson Holla at me....lets try to get this poppin off and we can start having talented writers and dudes from the coli a chance to get published on a high traffic site.
fukk those other publications...why waste your hate on them? stop reading them.
lets build somethign that will hit on a different level.
That takes a lot of work and not enough time spent finger wagging at black people.
The outlets are out there, dudes here just don't support them.
Through it is easy to figure why these publications started covering Hip-Hop and in my opinion works out better for the artist in question in my opinion.
@hexagram23 and I have had our battles but I think he's an okay guy. He legitimately loves the culture and is very knowledgeable. I think some of his zeal is derived from the general antagonism towards whites in hip hop and he has to constantly maintain his credibility lest he be labeled a culture vulture. He's pretty respected around here so I don't see the need to prove himself. His disdain for Drake can be excessive but not the 10 Bands guy's level. To Fred, Drake is the anti thesis of the hip hop culture he respects and his nearly bulletproof popularity is probably frustrating to him.
aren't black people only like 12-15 % of the population of America? I don't understand why you guys are expecting all these media companies who pretty much do all genres of music to be full of black employees
