Any and everyone who works in entertainment especially in the music biz knows that the game is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes dreams come true, and others have their dreams turned into living nightmares. The perks can be tremendous if you’re fortunate enough to find favor with the gatekeepers. However if you piss the wrong people off it can go down in a grimmy way. The ironic thing is sometimes you don’t even have to set anyone off to be served a dismissal. Check out what happened when Houston Rapper Trae Tha Truth release a mixtape saying some derogatory words about a radio employee.
“URGENT: – Effective Immediately: DO NOT AIR: “Trae tha Truth” on our station. No interviews, no calls, no comments, no posts on our website, no station twitter, no station facebook, no songs in mix show no verses on remixes, or songs in regular rotation. No exceptions. The current online postings will be removed shortly. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Thank u. Have a great weekend!”
But Luckily Trae’s fans didn’t just take this lying down. Click below to read an open letter written addressing this total topic and find out if it made a difference.
I can’t say I agree 100% regarding certain issues, but you’ve got an interesting point of view. Anyway, I enjoy the quality you add to the blogosphere and that this isn’t just another abandoned, made-for-adsense site! Take care…
