Chapter 540 After the Ceremony

Puff Daddy touched the place on his shoulder that was hit by the GD gunman. No matter how he looked at Song Ya, he didn't like it, but he couldn't take care of it for the time being. He just wanted to avenge the sudden corner prying of Singer. Bad Boys Records did not sign Mary Blige and Jodeci, and the dream of flying to the sky in 1994 was all ruined.

He subconsciously looked towards the place where the death row record player was sitting, and found that Dre was also looking over, so he twitched the corners of his mouth viciously and raised his chin towards him.

"M-fxxk!"

Dre didn't want the other party to see through the panic in his heart, so he fought back with his eyes angrily, "Sugnett will kill me if I go on like this!" WarrenG next to him, "Any other plans for tonight?"

"There's a party for us," WarrenG replied.

"They're all from New York?" he asked.

"Of course, it's mainly people from DefJam Records, singers from other regions and companies will mostly go."

"I don't want to appear at the New Yorker's party right now, if Puff Daddy goes crazy tonight, I'm likely to lie down on the spot." He said to Song Yanu, who was talking eloquently on the stage, "What is this guy's plan for the night? "

"He and Mariah Carey are also throwing a party at their house in Tribeca."

"We're going to his place tonight, and I'm going to leave the party sometime and go straight back to LA."

Dre breathed a sigh of relief, "Did he take care of you? At DefJam."

"Should be. President Lyle Cohen hinted to me a few times, and the resources I got are really good." WarrenG replied truthfully: "However, he is a taboo topic in DefJam, and no one will mention his ownership of company shares. .”

"Okay, I'll take you to thank him today. Remember, from now on, never have anything to do with Puff Daddy. Your record is included in the joint promotion plan of the Chicago Conference this year. The first single sold Very good, the first album will be released in June, and your reputation will definitely skyrocket by then, after earning money, find more followers to protect you, and you must always be careful when you are alone in New York, so as not to cause trouble."

Derry told his half-brother.

"It's kind of hard to hang out with people from Harlem in the East Coast gangsta rap scene..." WarrenG scratched his head, "Sugnett made us miserable, right?"

"Fxxk, forget about that bastard." Dre gave another wary look at Puff Daddy.

"Then call 2PAC again?"

"No, let 2PAC play by itself, he's helped Biggie a lot, Puff Daddy won't deal with him. Besides, I can't control him."

"Sorry, I've talked too much." At this time, Song Ya on the stage smiled and raised the trophy in his hand, and ended his speech amidst applause and booing.

The first Hip-Hop Music Awards passed through the chaos without any danger. 2PAC’s live performance was the most acclaimed. After he finished singing, he threw away the microphone on the spot, ignored anyone, and dragged him away from the stage. People were particularly impressed, just like the old blacks after the ceremony, keeping a distance from each other on guard, and then dispersed in a herd.

"There's a radio talking about what you just said about Robert."

Refusing to be interviewed in a noisy place like the dressing room passage, Song Ya and his party drove back to the parking lot downstairs of Tribeca's house. Linda received the wind, "Wait, Mira is calling."

Song Ya glanced out the car window and shook her head.

"Hello Miss Jovovich." Linda answered the phone, "it's not convenient for the boss to talk to you...Okay, I'll pass on your thanks...Yes, goodbye."

"Myra thanks you," Linda said.

"You did very well."

Song Ya got off the car, and Mariah Carey had already prepared a grand party at her home in Tribeca, mainly because she wanted to invite local New York friends to the engagement ceremony.

Roberto Clivell, who was in a stalemate before, also came. Mariah Carey is more emotional, so he and David Cole were invited.

MakeItHappen, created by the two, was involved in a music copyright lawsuit. Although a private settlement of 500,000 dollars was settled, it attracted a lot of criticism from the outside world, and her next album is preparing to transform, and it is almost impossible to use their adult lyrical style again. song too.

"Is it right in Highland Park? David and I will be there."

Roberto Clivell said: "I didn't expect you to sell Bahn & Co. APLUS for such a high price."

"I didn't expect that either."

This is especially the case for Song Ya. The second single created by Roberto Clivell for Fergie was a complete failure. The friendship between the two parties who helped each other and had dinner together for many years was over because he attracted Wal-Mart to intervene in A+ clothing. There is no need to be hypocritical, " Where's David? Haven't seen him in a while?"

"He went on vacation, maybe he was too tired some time ago." Roberto Klevel said.

"Can he come to the engagement ceremony?" Mariah Carey, who was holding Song Ya's arm, asked.

"Yes, he will certainly not be absent."

"Okay, see you then, hey! Derry." Song Ya greeted Derry who had just entered the door.

Derry, who was like a frightened bird, let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the majority of the party was white, "Yo, Brother APLUS, let me introduce you, WarrenG."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Song Ya and the brothers bumped their fists and asked with smiling faces, "I heard you have a new story with Puff Daddy?"

"Forget it."

Derry found a place to dump the beans in a bamboo tube and told the whole story, the thing is like this:

Puff Daddy was expelled from Uptown Records when he was fighting with Little Lowry. At that time, he was making the first and new albums for Mary Blige and Jodeci respectively. Mary Blige and Jodeci wanted him to continue to make their own albums. He did not hesitate to confront Harrell, the owner of Uptown Records, at the risk of being banned, and the relationship between the two parties is certainly needless to say.

Mary Blige and Jodeci's contract expires this year, and they will definitely not renew their contract with Uptown Records. Puff Daddy thought that with this deadly friendship, the other party would definitely vote for his Bad Boys Records, but Mary Blige The remaining three members of Ji and Jodeci have other ideas. They have already become popular and look down on Bad Boys Records. They want to switch to MCA, one of the top six, the parent company of Uptown Records.

Puff Daddy may have said some harsh words to them in a fit of rage, and the speaker had no intention of listening to them. Mary Blige and Jodeci knew about Puff Daddy, and they began to be afraid of him who was involved in the underworld. It happened that Jodeci and 2PAC were playing songs together, Jodeci told 2PAC of his worries, and 2PAC revealed it to Su Genet with a big mouth.

Su Ge Knight seized the opportunity to find Mary Blige and Jodeci, and promised to provide the protection of the Blood Gang, but only if they signed with their own brokerage company. Mary Blige and Jodeci agreed to this condition after weighing, so they agreed led to the current situation.

"Their relationship with Puff Daddy... As for this trouble?"

Song Ya was a little dumbfounded after listening to this, the brotherhood is too plastic, "They can almost be regarded as growing up together in Harlem, and the album that Puff Daddy helped make them became popular, which is also considered in the Tao Owe Puff Daddy?"

"That's not how it works."

Dre said: "They wouldn't be popular without Puff Daddy's production ability, but they also took a lot of risks for Puff Daddy, and Puff Daddy didn't have to go back to Uptown Records to help them produce. If the album is really a pure brotherhood, wouldn’t it be great if you don’t use the name of the producer to help out for free? In the end, Puff Daddy still uses that condition to coerce them to fight with Uptown Records. If they don’t go back to Uptown Records, they won’t be producers. , Puff Daddy won’t give them the accompaniments he made, that’s part of the deal.”

So it was about money, it was for money at first, Song Ya finally understood, "Then you have to be careful, you are also a singer under Suge Knight after all."

"I know, I'll sneak out when I get a chance. Where is your bodyguard? That old white man, let him help me arrange a route to leave New York quietly later." It's a matter of life and death, Derry has no need A street hero, he is straightforward in his plea for help.

"Okay, Mike!" Song Ya summoned the old Mike and gave a few simple instructions.

"Boss, there is something urgent." Linda came over and called him.

"Sorry, excuse me, you guys can stay with me for a while longer." Song Ya followed her into the study.

"APLUS! Don't think that everything will go well for you now that you are successful and famous!"

Linda turned on the answering machine, and Robert yelled, "I have something to do with you too! You stop now, and I promise not to disturb Mira again, and we can live in peace, otherwise! You It won't be easy either! I swear!"

"Hehe, incompetent and furious, it's too late..."

Song Ya sneered and turned off the recording. People like Robert really have used it long ago. He has done a lot of tricks against himself, except for the fruit plate at SBK, and the public relations battle when Mira's return to the blue coral reef was released. His shadow behind the scenes, he also took the opportunity to make trouble when he was fighting with Motura in 1991, and now he wants to sneak into Mira again, "Are you ready for tomorrow's plan?"

"Ready."

Linda replied: "Michelle has found the original letter of protest she sent to SBK. Tomorrow, the Chicago Tribune will publish an excerpt of this letter. EMI can't keep Robert, and they don't need to keep a dilapidated SBK." Record executives. According to Daniel, finding a discriminatory excuse to make EMI layoffs, I guess they would be very happy. After your remarks at the awards ceremony were known by local black DJs in New York, someone immediately claimed that Robert Out of New York."
