I wish what I was saying was not true, but PRO was very VERY clear about what he was saying, using the word "FOKOL" when answering how much they were offering.
Sbu still had to promote the event because YFM is a media partner in the event.
But PRO was clear that they do not pay local artists for these events(mentioning explicitly the Snoop, G Unit, Kelly Rowland and Jay-Z concerts)
PRO also mentioned that he was doing a lot of FREE shows, but only does them because he is cool/friends with the DJ's/organisers of these events(He mentioned the Foolish Thursdays Events hosted by Tholi B).
This is a reality people. Our hiphop artists are being explioted to the fullest.
Im glad PRO took a stand LIVE on RADIO.
I understand that you guys want to go see "The Game", i did too.
But the damage that it is causing us is huge.
I mean, Blakles, dont you think artists of your calibre should even be "invited" to these events(never mind paying for tickets.wtf?) We are being disrespected and we're still happy that "At least we will see GAME, maybe get some EXPOSURE,maybe even an autograph. What are you gaining from seeing GAME if it will cost you the price of YOUR OWN LOCAL ARTISTS NOT GETTING PAYED and you indirectly supporting this?"
Sbu and them promised to get an MTV representative to state their side of the story after PRO called in, I wonder what happened? Any feedback?
