Chapter 144: Motura's Counterattack
Mira was jealous, "I caught you flirting with Mariah Carey. ?? Huo Ran? Wen w?w?w?.?ra?n?wenA`com"
Song Ya was startled, "Don't talk nonsense, haven't you read the recent news about her? It's okay to joke in private, but don't make such remarks about her to the outside world."
"I entered the entertainment circle when I was nine years old, and I know better than you. Didn't she smile happily at you? In the short video on MTV." Mira said.
"You also watched the short film..."
Song Yashu breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't it always like this when recording songs? Normal communication."
"Hmph, you even wrote songs for her..." Mira said sourly.
"You can't sing soul music, can you sing that high note? Huh?" Song Ya seized the opportunity to fight back, "I have been asking you to practice singing since last year, how about you? The song record given to you by sbk Is it over? Still in Los Angeles?"
"Uh...not yet..."
Mira's arrogance was suppressed, "Hmph, I'm too busy."
The two quarreled and talked about love, and after talking on the phone, Hayden left early.
The next day, Song Ya went to MTV to record the interview, and then rushed back to Sony Columbia headquarters without stopping.
Roberto Clivell finally decided to sign him after reading the nas information that Song Ya gave him, and that nas performed well on stage in the professor's performance.
"Aplus, thanks to you, my Nasir, you can tell me anything in New York in the future."
After signing the contract, Nas' father, Old Jones, took the initiative to shake hands with Song Ya, smiling all over his face.
"Yeah, I won't be polite."
According to Song Ya's Huaguo soul, he originally wanted to be polite, but with the character of black people in the United States who would take the credit for themselves if they didn't help, he would appear too hypocritical if he was too polite. In fact, he also had the idea of signing nas to a+ records, but soon found that with the relationship of old Jones in New York, if nas wanted to sign with a small record company, they would have already signed. The company, that's why it has been delayed until now.
"yo..."
After signing the contract, nas will start building immediately.
"Aplus, the old place at night, I'll treat you this time." He excitedly dragged Song Ya to a nightclub in Queens. Two attendants were already in place, and he booked the best semi-open private room in this nightclub for him .
"Hey, big professor..." Nas borrowed Song Ya's cell phone and started calling to make appointments.
The two attendants started talking about what car to buy, what mobile phone, etc. to help spend money for nas.
Song Ya leaned on the sofa, maintaining the aloofness of a big star, without saying a word, after traveling for more than a year, he also looked away, and it was useless to persuade the black star's consumer audience.
"Aplus, I will..." Nas returned the phone after calling, and beat Song Ya's chest, "If you have anything to say in New York, I will definitely do it for you."
He introduced the two followers to Song Ya, "You can also direct them to do it, you can definitely trust it."
Song Ya smiled and bumped fists with the two followers.
"You have a bad relationship with Little Lowry, don't you?"
Nas has already seen this, "What about the idea of diss (using songs to attack the other party) by writing him into the lyrics?"
"Don't."
Although Song Ya vowed to ignore Tony and the others, she didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble for them, "You made peace with him, didn't you?"
"That guy is too annoying..." Nas said: "Okay, since you have spoken, I will give up."
Song Ya remembered the beating of little Lowry not long ago, so she happened to ask nas.
"The beaten Puff Daddy is very powerful in Harlem. Little Lowry's agent failed to deal with him completely. Although I don't know the details, Puff Daddy is very tough and has not revoked the appointment of Little Lowry's follower. litigation."
Nas said: "I know you and Little Lowry belong to GD, and after he moved to New York, everyone got along well with him because of the awe of GD, but this time... hehe, to be honest, he seems to have been seen through Hands and feet, if you don't fix Puff Daddy, everyone will despise him day by day, and he will only become more and more difficult to mix in New York..."
'silencer'……
Song Ya thought of the silencer that was still closed, and planned to visit him sometime if he was really sentenced. Anyway, as Tony's good brother, he took good care of himself, or himself before time travel, since he was a child.
"Singers still have to rely on music to speak." Song Ya remembered that Tony said that Atlantic Records intends to release Little Lowry, and asked nas again.
"No, Atlantic Records just scares him. You know, my father and Steven have a good relationship, and I can get some inside information. It's not because of Little Lowry, but the executives of Atlantic Records who made the decision to sign Little Lowry. I don’t want to bear the responsibility of looking away, at least I have to wait until Little Lowry publishes a special before looking at the sales and deciding on countermeasures.”
Song Ya could tell that Nas was very concerned about Little Lowry, and he must still have grudges. It is estimated that the idea of writing a diss song was born very early.
Professor Da and others came over, and the effect of the joint publicity was good. All the band members respected Song Ya very much, but Rakim was still out of control. I heard from Professor Da that the dispute between him and his bandmates was irreversible. The two parted ways just waiting for the last album of the contract to be completed. After this turmoil, rakim's momentum in New York will definitely not be as good as before.
The general ethos of the black rap circle is slightly different from that of the American entertainment circle. The rules in this circle are more gang-oriented. Since they are all gangsters, whoever gets mixed up early will naturally be respected more, even if any singer If you are angry, everyone will not be as snobbish as the American entertainment circle, after all, his gang qualifications are still there.
Of course, I'm sorry if you're from a different faction, no matter how popular you are, I can't miss you.
For Song Ya, who has the soul of a Chinese, although he is not used to the rapper's gang style, he agrees with this alone, and respecting the elderly is definitely right.
This is also beneficial to him. The old rappers in the 1980s, except for a few such as n.w.a, are mostly out or half out. As a self who debuted in the 1990s, for the overall very young rap music scene, his qualifications are still very high. enough.
It was very face-saving to accompany Nas crazy all night, and he slept until noon the next day, until he was woken up by Hayden's knock on the door.
"Something happened again."
Hayden skillfully turned on the TV and tuned to a TV station under CBS.
"fxxk! I'm scared. It's not going to be a good thing if you let me watch TV." Song Ya scolded.
"It has nothing to do with us this time, just watch the excitement." Hayden laughed.
"According to our reliable information, Vanilla Ice's newly published autobiography..." The reporter of this small TV station is broadcasting gossip about Vanilla Ice's autobiography, and he signed a contract with the publishing house after he became popular I published a memoir-style autobiography, and dressed up my past as very inspirational, but now this TV station has found out that the content in it contains a lot of false elements, which does not match the personal experience of Vanilla Ice, and is full of mistakes and omissions.
"This is too boring. It's only human for a singer to give money to the past in his autobiography."
Song Ya yawned and lay back on the bed.
"It's not that simple. Today, all kinds of media exploded at the same time, which is more powerful than smearing Mariah Carey."
Hayden threw over a bunch of newspapers, most of which were tabloids, but there were also some influential newspapers such as the Sun, "There are also radio stations, all of which are discussing vanilla ice. In the United States, crime, disorder and even Drugs can be forgiven, but lying to the public and falsifying personal history is more serious."
"oh?"
Song Ya sat up, "What do you mean?"
"It's obvious that someone wants to deal with Vanilla Ice, and he is SBK's own son." Hayden said, "Don't you think it's a coincidence? The first one to break the news is this TV station under CBS."
"Did Motura do it? Why did he take revenge on SBK?"
Although Sony Columbia and CBS have separated, the high-level executives on both sides are still inextricably linked. Song Ya is a little confused, "SBK has no diva, and they have no motivation to participate in the action of smearing Mariah Carey. Right? Isn't Viking Records, also with a British background, more suspicious? They signed Janet Jackson, and they have a rivalry relationship with Mariah Carey, and they fought fiercely with sbk in the process of competing for Janet Jackson, which happened to be the same two There are festivals."
"That's Motura, the cruel Motura."
Hayden emphasized, "Since he did it, he must have confirmed it through his channel. Although I don't know why Daniel wants to discredit Mariah Carey, Motura will not mistake the target in this matter, right?"
