Looks like an audition. imo if this was Miley Cyrus or Beiber doing this, yall would be mad and calling this vulturism. Nothing about a dancing monkey would be coming out your mouf.

But when its black, it always gotta be something else.

It's called History, from slavery to black face. That imagery was one of dance me a jigg ******. It's obvious you have no sense of history my dude.

I dont know what history has to do with auditioning. Who else, and where else is he going to audition? In order to get a sense of his stage presence you have to see it live.

Justin Beiber did the same shyt for Usher and the label when he came down to ATL from Canada. Pretty sure Brittney and all the other popstars have to do it too.

Im actually surprised people are just now realizing that no labels just call you in and start signing papers, you better start shuckin,no matter what the race. Theres millions of dollars in stake.

If you dont like that sorta thing, dont be an entertainer because essentially entertaining is tap dancing for the enjoyment of others. MJ was a tap dancer. Miley is a dap dancer, (insert artist here) is essentially a tap dancer. I pay to watch you dance and shuck in front of me for money. That is what an entertainer is.

I understand what you're alluding to, but what that imagery evokes is the emotional reaction you are seeing. Again there is a thing called decorum which was very lacking in that audition.

Very good points... but the people you mentioned arnt hard street rappers with a thug image to uphold. Plus i doubt hip hop artists back in the day had to do this sort of thing, the execs probably just listened to the demos and maybe had them spit a verse in front of them, not jumping on a table like a monkey.

So basically yall are sensitive about the imagery because it reminds you of the past and I get that. but ultimately, this is what all artists have to do behind closed doors.

People driven by emotions always lose.

the problem is shmurda got hot because of a dance, so hes like a souljaboy kinda rapper, not really a thug, his lyrics are darker than superman that hoe, sure, but its his dance that got him hot. They gotta make sure he can shuck (this word cracks me up every time lol) to other songs too.

no one is going to a shmurda cipher, folks are going to watch him shuck and tap on top of drill music.

I hear you


The only real crime here is that this was recorded. The whole world isnt supposed to see you sell you're soul Imagine if we saw what some of our hottest artists had to do behind closed doors to get signed. I know a lot of these talentless rnb ho's was sucking dikk.

This guy has plenty of tape on YouTube of him dancing and rapping. This is not about emotion, it's about dignity.

now this I agree with. auditions are hella uncomfortable to watch. its a small intimate room and you got this lil white kid singing baby baby ohhhhh to a room full of grown ass men, or some chick doing a kissing scene with some casting director dude done kissed about 45 women prior, and its just her, and like 5 guys and 1 assistant. that shyt is made awkward. it literally does look like youre selling yourself. but its gotta be done. selling your soul is the name of the game, thats hollywood folks. :mannypac:

dignity in an audition? what planet are you on?

maybe its cause Im from LA and I grew up where the business is pretty much every where you look, so this is just a typical day in an office setting.

I dont know what history has to do with auditioning. Who else, and where else is he going to audition? In order to get a sense of his stage presence you have to see it live.

Who do you guys think he was gonna be auditioning in front of at a record label?
