Yall are crazy saying rock bands get extorted. Picture Led Zeppelin gtting leaned on back in the 70's lol yeah right

You are very naive and uninformed my friend


Rock and Roll artists were EASY LICKS for the MOB during the 50s...60s and 70s

Morris Levy extorted everybody from session musicians to John Lennon and the Beatles while he was snatching up publishing and pushing heroin at the same damn time

And how could you forget big bad Tommy Mottola the mafia affiliated head of CBS/SONY Music whom Hall & Oates tried to warn Michael Jackson about how Tommy terrorized them when he managed them....him and Bruce Springsteen formed a bond cause he "protected" Bruce from the Philly mob

oh and let's not ignore the "work" Irving Azoff aka The Evil Leprechaun put in....for decades as head of MCA RECORDS and TICKET MASTER and one of the most powerful managers in the music game

He was the subject of a major extortion/payola probe that involved the Gambino family and Al Sharpton and The Jacksons o

Irv still putting in work...he is known as Uncle Irv to the Kardashians whom introduced Kanye West to him....Kanye eventually had to fire Irv for his exploitive role as head of merchandising for Kanyes tour

So trust me MANY ROCK BANDS Were FOOD to the mob

They did. Italian mafia here in the USA and British mobsters in London. Well documented. Their manager Peter Grant had to deal with it, but since they all stayed drugged out, they were easy marks. The music industry is and has been dirty as hell.

I'll never understand why successful black men get money and still allow nefarious characters to breathe their rarified air.

Because black men tend to get their money in nefarious businesses or in the entertainment world that's has a thin barrier between the studio and the streets.

Haitian Jack or anyone like him isn't running up into any New York hedge fund or DC defense contractor or Silicon Valley startup. He'd get his head bashed in by armed security or possibly killed and if not, have trumped up charges brought up 2 months later for a 30 year sentence. Rappers have to live in that world due to the nature of touring and shows, and the crowd they attract. I doubt the Oprahs, the Tyler Perrys and the Byron Allens of the world ever have to deal with a Haitian Jack.

I'm certain we can agree that every black artist doesn't suffer through this. However, there's a difference between keeping someone at arm's length vs inviting them into your home. I have friends/associates from my old neighborhood who I unfortunately have to do this to. It sucks, but I can't have the chaos that surrounds them disrupting my good thing.

They also were getting extorted and fukked with by the government.

Not all of them obviously. But it's mostly the rappers who want to be in that world and the wolves jump on them. If you not planning on being a rapper or in entertainment, that cuts out 99% of that world. None of those clowns bothering businessmen and entrepreneurs.

I agree. I just think it's a shame that entertainers and athletes don't realize that they ARE entrepreneurs and businessmen.

individuals want a cut.

Because black men tend to get their money in nefarious businesses or in the entertainment world that's has a thin barrier between the studio and the streets.

Haitian Jack or anyone like him isn't running up into any New York hedge fund or DC defense contractor or Silicon Valley startup. He'd get his head bashed in by armed security or possibly killed and if not, have trumped up charges brought up 2 months later for a 30 year sentence. Rappers have to live in that world due to the nature of touring and shows, and the crowd they attract. I doubt the Oprahs, the Tyler Perrys and the Byron Allens of the world ever have to deal with a Haitian Jack.

oh god...you are humorous my friend......and so flawed in your logic

not only it's erroneous ...it's RACIST ....... (i'll explain that later)

you think RAPPERS are the only ones associating with DEALERS and KILLERS????

Alot of your "respectable" entertainers hob nob frequently with gangstas.....

It was Gladys Knight whom took the stand in Henchmen's first trial in los angelas as his good character witness

newsflash my friend..i personally know a gospel singer down in South Carolina whom i won't be surpised if she is found lying face down floating in some River , because she keeps playing these dirty "switch and bait" games with producers and promoters ...most of whom are real street cats

its only a matter of time my friend.....

speaking of gospel .....

just recently....Tyler Perry's former "sponsor" just revealed himself to the world....he was a certified street kingpin from Atlanta whom has pulled out numerous reciepts as to how he financed Tyler Perry's first projects and basically kept him from being homeless as a struggling screenplay writer.....

see what u fail to realize dawg...is that the MUSIC INDUSTRY itself was originated by GANGSTERS, MOBSTERS...and BOOTLEGGERS like the Warner Brothers and the Brofman family.....

the reason being.....it's always been FREE OF REGULATION or OVERSIGHT from the government and it's mostly CASH BASED....A good sancturary for those whom seek revenue "under the table"...

even the "ACTING GAME" in Hollywood was and still is on some GANGSTA SHYT....black actors and actresses not only had to deal with racisim and lack of work but even if they joined the(union) S.A.G (screen actors guild) it wasn't enough to counteract the "mob style" practices of the Motion Pictures Association (oscars, the academy)...


"As everyone knows except for the people watching, the Motion Picture Academy was founded as a union-busting front for a company union. It was the brain child of MGM’s Louis B. Mayer, a devout Republican, as a way of heading off Hollywood workers’ wage and contract demands. The Academy, after the Wall Street ’29 crash, fully backed Mayer and his fellow studio bosses’ across-the-board 50 percent wage cuts for employees while still paying themselves huge bonuses.

The Academy’s history is bloody, battered and bestrewn with labor struggles, corrupt practices, bribery, extortion, Mafia-style hit jobs and failed last-ditch efforts by its executives to break the fledgling actors, writers and other guilds. (In current negotiations my own writers union, WGA, is facing $60 million in rollbacks from the producers with their institutional memory of fighting unions even when they're rolling in profits.)

From the start the Academy and studios’ deal was to buy labor peace by installing a then-wholly-crooked bunch, IATSE, the union of stagehands, motion picture technicans and allied crafts, and pay off its gangster leaders (usually $50 to 100,000 annually per studio), to intimidate, beat up and sometimes kill militants. " The Oscars' Dirty Secret: Corruption, Bribery, Mafia-style Hit Jobs and Labor Struggles







And you wonder why Denzel Washington linked up with suge knight's O.G Harry O??

Oprah Winfrey admitted to consorting with all types of dope dealers during her early part of her career as a broadcast journalist to feed her addiction to cocaine.....

When legendary OG Crip Uncle Zip opened up his last establishment "ZIP CODES" in harlem back in the early 2000s

the grand opening was like a who's who of the world of black entertainment....everybody from Mike Tyson to Stevie Wonder arrived to show love to one of the last true NYC street lords.






Make no mistake..my friend...anybody can get it....even fat sloppy and sick former box office stars like Steven Segal had to run to the Feds to get the Gotti's and the Gambino family off of his azz...

Steven Seagal: Muscled By The Mob

Yeah the infamous Gambino Family....the EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EXTORTERS....

they ate good off of Sammy Davis and the Rat pack....

And please don't think this "type of behavior" is just limited to Americans.....

and let's not forget mr. "ONE LOVE" everything irie man BOB MARLEY who was caught in a Gangstafied tug of war between the two biggestcrimindal syndicates of Jamaica...the Spanglers crew and the Shower Posse

shyt got soooo real for Bob that his wife even caught a bullet when "gunmen" allegedly from the Shower Posse ranks invaded his home one evening in an attempt to "silence" him forever for trying to broker a peace treaty between both parties....

Bucky Marshall...Bob Marley...Clause Massop...

^^^^^^^^^this picture is significant cause it showed how "deep" Bob Marley got in this deadly mix of politics...murder and drugs....

Bucky Marshall was a welll respected and feared gunmen for the Spangler Crew which was enforcers for the PNP political party...

and Claudie Massop was a "Don" (leader) from the Tivoli garden community home of the Shower Posse...

both of those individuals seated next to Bob died Violently....at the hands of assasins..

"dem a kill Bucky Marshall up inna New Yawk City...dem a kill Claddie Massop down inna Tivoli!" - Brigadier Jerry

Even the Don Dada himself Supercat couldn't set foot back inna Jamaica a couple of years ago without having the "boss" Kenneth Black aka Skeng Don escort him thru the city of Kingston...

so yes my friend...it's DEEPER THAN "RAP"

and it's not just simply characteristic of BLACKS....

because all an extorter see as far as COLOR...is GREEN
