"Puff Daddy's history of selling clothes is earlier than yours. In 1991, he opened a fashion brand clothing store named after his real name 'Sean John' in Harlem. The store is small and the business is not good. Except for the record producer, He is also a well-known party DJ and host in Harlem, if he hadn't been beaten by your follower 'Muffler' in the street to lose face, and then he and Little Lowry kept revenge on each other, his development would probably have been smoother."
"This guy transformed a trendy brand store into a suit store a few days ago, saying that he wants to make suits that the poor can afford and fit black people, and outsource the manufacturing to Honduras! I said, this is simply replicating your style Ha ha."
On the car heading to Tribeca, NAS chattered about Bragging Daddy, "You should also play the trendy brand APLUS, my trendy brand store will open in Queens soon, and then come to help support it?"
Selling trendy clothing is a sideline that every celebrity in the United States never loses. When they become popular, they will definitely not lose money, but the future development is hard to say, and many of them end up sadly. But having said that, it is also a normal choice to use this kind of business to make quick money for fans when they are popular.
"It depends on the situation, NAS, I will definitely come, but I may not have time on the opening day."
Song Ya replied that he felt something was wrong with NAS today, "Is there anything inconvenient for you to say directly?" I was too lazy to guess the riddle with him, so I asked directly.
"Biggie, the rapper who took a bullet for Puff Daddy, is famous in the streets of Brooklyn and Harlem, and Puff Daddy is going to praise him." NAS said, "I don't know why 2PAC from the west coast will come to New York and him Putting each other up, the Death Row people seem to be ignoring me."
"Didn't 2PAC say that they met Biggie a long time ago, or were they still Homie? In the end, Biggie also said Peace and Love."
It seems that NAS is wary of the unstable status of New York rap leader. Everyone can see that 1993 is a good opportunity for New York rap rookies. They have passed away with Rakim and Kane. For the time being, the media is willing to praise the newcomers The king of New York only has NAS, and he is very worried that the east and west coasts will join forces and push Biggie to compete with him.
Su Ge Knight is a 'true gangster', and so is Puff Daddy. NAS is just a half-truth and half-fake who was born in a musical family and only got caught up in the streets later. He has no ability to stop this trend, and Song Ya doesn't want to help. In fact, I don't have the ability to get involved in this kind of thing. Of course, the outside world doesn't see it that way. The misunderstandings and 'myths' in this regard have brought him great convenience, and he doesn't want to pierce his double-headed snake appearance by himself.
"They're always ignoring me on purpose." NAS was annoyed, "Do you think it will be effective if I provoke Beef with Eskub?"
"I can't give you an opinion. Eskub is older and more popular than 2PAC. If you start a war, will everyone speak up for you?" Song Ya asked.
"He is the only popular rapper on the West Coast who has nothing to do with death row records." It turned out that NAS considered this.
"Hehe." Song Ya smiled, NAS knows New York very well, but the West Coast doesn't know much about it, "You don't understand, Escube is also working with Suge Knight, they have been doing it for a long time. Los Angeles gang reconciliation, win-win."
"Fxxk!"
NAS scolded, "Why is there a Death Row record popping up all of a sudden on the West Coast?" Inextricably linked with Suge Knight.
"It is mainly due to Derry, who is a talented producer and an old member of the NWA. He has a lot of contacts in the West Coast hip-hop circle. Su Ge Knight picked up the treasure." Song Ya said, maybe he accepted Derry back then. Departure with Snoop Dogg,
All these benefits will be your own, right? However, who would have known that Big E, who was famous for being fierce at the time, would be so cowardly.
People always want more. NAS has established his status through his first album Illmatic. By chance, he is expected to become the king of East Coast rap during the downturn. He naturally began to think about how to firmly grasp this opportunity.
It's a pity that the gangsta rap circle is not a circle that relies entirely on music to speak. He can't fight against Su Ge Knight or Puff Daddy, because he dare not develop with those people to the final stage of shooting, so naturally he can't fight the bloodthirsty ones. The bottom audience's favorite attention forum.
From this point of view, if the former little Lowry can really occupy the status of the king of Chicago rap, and GD didn't have the bad luck of shooting the little boy in 1992, he is qualified to be on the stage with Su Ge Knight and Puff Daddy These guys fight it out.
It's a pity that the title of King of Rap in Chicago must be his own, and after taking this title, he doesn't want to go back and entangle with those street gangsters, so naturally he can't 'make the best use of everything'.
"Don't think about it. You are now signed to Sony Columbia Records. This kind of company will not let you mess up. You have enjoyed the benefits of the big company's packaging, so don't be greedy for those street fame." He advised NAS, " Didn’t someone give you the title of ‘street poet’? Go down that path with peace of mind.”
"A gangster rapper without a street reputation is worthless." NAS's fierce face was full of resignation.
Song Ya feels that he will not give up. The life of a "hero" on the street is a bit like a siege. The people inside do everything possible to get out, while the people outside try to come in enviously.
The car was parked in the familiar parking lot, he and NAS got off and took the elevator to the top floor.
"APLUS!"
The gorgeous Mariah Carey stood at the door to greet the party guests, and when she saw him, she ignored the NAS next to her, "Just in time, come here, I have something to tell you."
"Is it in such a hurry?"
"You owed it the last time you came to New York!"
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many guests, she was dragged directly to the small room to discuss matters. After chatting nonsense, the two appeared in different places of the party.
"Walter."
Song Ya found the lonely Walter in the corner, "How are you doing? What are you up to?"
"Miss Kelly's new album."
Walter is in a good mood today, "This will be an epoch-making album." He said.
"I know, I've heard those songs." Song Ya chatted with him while observing the party. Most of the guests were from Sony Columbia Records. "Where are Roberto and David?"
"Copyright lawsuit." Walter blinked his eyes, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. Although this kind of lawsuit can be easily handled by a big-name creator who is backed by a big company, it will still cause great damage to his reputation. Walter The reaction now speaks volumes.
"Ah oh."
He suddenly saw Shakira appearing followed by Roberto Clivell, followed by a Latino man.
"APLUS!" Roberto came over and questioned him as soon as he saw him, "What did you do to her!?" He pointed at Shakira, "Did you let her deliberately smash the second school!? You still seduce She's going to Chicago!"
"Hey, calm down, Roberto, let's talk over there."
Fortunately, Mariah Carey was concentrating on chatting with Dave Hall on the other side. Seeing Shakira looking at her affectionately, Song Ya was about to come up and hold her hand, and hurriedly took them to the kitchen. This house used to be his own, and he was familiar with the road.
In the kitchen, some chefs and waiters hired by the party service company were busy, and a few of them chatted quietly against the dining table.
"This is Luis Fernando Ochoa, a Latin music producer." Shakira introduced the Latin man, about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance.
"Hello APLUS, I lived in Chicago for a long time when I was a child." The other party spoke fluent English, "I am also very optimistic about Miss Shakira."
"Hello."
Song Ya chatted with the other party vigilantly, and learned that Shakira had known him in Latin America a long time ago. After coming to New York, the two reunited and had the same views on the music route. This time Roberto invited her, and then She brought him over too.
The Latin girl finally took her arm this time. Roberto Clivell saw it and flashed a displeased expression, "You want to pry her from Sony Columbia Records, right APLUS?"
Shakira should have revealed something in New York, and the Latina girl didn't seem to want to keep their relationship a secret as she had asked.
"Hey Roberto, take it easy."
Song Ya just took this opportunity to speak, "Her two album contracts have been completed, and she will be a free person after it expires. You don't care about it, right? Sony Columbia Records is not your business, and I To put it bluntly, if given the chance, I would like to poach you, David, and Walt to my company."
He watched Walter's reaction intently as he said this.
This kind of words seemed to be regarded as a compliment by the brainless Walter. A smile appeared on his face, but he probably didn't take it seriously.
But Roberto Clivell is different. He and David Cole have their own CandC music factory, "Miss Shakira, Mr. Ochoa, please let us have a chat alone, please?"
Shakira looked up at herself, "Go get to know more people, go." Song Ya just took the opportunity to coax her away first.
"Okay." Shakira let go obediently, and left the kitchen with Ochoa.
"I discovered Shakira first, do you remember? I introduced her to you! I asked you to give her a chance to appear in the MV, that's all!"
Song Ya was a little surprised by Roberto Clivell's excitement, and he quickly realized, "Your CandC is also waiting for her contract to expire?"
"How fresh!" Roberto Clivell said angrily, "Otherwise, why am I so obsessed with her!? I have fallen in love with her since 1991, and I have recommended her to you since your first single MV." pass her!"
"I didn't understand. You should have said something straightforward."
The other party and himself had a very happy cooperation from music to business, and Song Ya stopped beating around the bush, "What are you going to do now? Shakira didn't agree to sign with my company. She has to wait until the end of the year before the contract expires to make a decision. I prepared some songs for her, but she has doubts and doesn't want to change the music style easily."
"You want to sign her, right?" Roberto Clivell stared at himself: "You still seduced her?"
"Of course I do, otherwise why would I call her to Chicago." Song Ya didn't answer the seduction, and lowered her voice, "We both want to poach Sony Columbia Records, so stop blaming each other."
Walt next to him lowered his head and laughed. According to his personality, he should not sue Sony Columbia Records.
"When the time comes, we will be one and half?" Roberto Clivell asked.
"You and David's styles don't suit her either?" Song Ya didn't want to be alone with him, she ate Sha Qila himself, and she couldn't fly away, so she changed the subject, "She is very assertive, anyway, now I'm not in a hurry, let's talk about it later? Now our clothes are selling very well..."
When talking about business, Roberto Clivell's attitude softened, "Aren't you considering raising the price of T-shirts?"
Coming out of the kitchen while chatting, Shakira came over and held her hand three times.
"APLUS!"
Mariah Carey suddenly appeared, her cheeks flushed from drinking, "Quick! I'll take you to meet another person!"
