Chicago 1990

Chapter 46: Escobe's Cargo Theory

"The president personally visited, it is self-evident how much Sony Columbia Records values ​​Mariah Carey, you won't move out the theory of who you want X who X?"

Hayden is very afraid of Song Ya's troubles. "Sony Columbia is top notch in the record and film industry. They are the rule-makers."

"You think too much……"

Mariah Carey is in good shape and pretty, but Song Ya recalled the tone of her voice when she interacted with Motula just now. He said that there was nothing between the two of them. He didn't believe it, so naturally he wouldn't have to intervene again. Thought, "Is she older than me?"

"Of course, she seems to be about 20 years old." Hayden felt that Song Ya really didn't show any interest, so he stopped admonishing.

Early the next morning, the two rushed to the radio station. The interview time passed for half an hour.

After the end, the radio host was very dissatisfied, and Song Ya ignored all the ambushes set up, resulting in the entire interview with no program effect at all.

He mentioned the Bulls' defeat in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals not long ago. Song Ya replied that he didn't know much about basketball because he didn't look at basketball very much.

Then he complained that Old Qiao did not dare to come, pretending to inadvertently mention the relationship between Old Qiao and GD (the Gangster Disciples, the Hell Bobcat is its branch), Song Ya also pretended not to hear, only He said that he respected old Joe, because he gave him the opportunity.

He began to talk about the chaotic public security in Detroit and Chicago's black neighborhoods. Song Ya shifted the topic to the injustice suffered by blacks, and then talked about the current situation in South Africa and his new song: To De Klerk.

Following the injustice suffered by black people, he began to lure Song Ya to talk about the white people in SBK. Song Ya expressed that he was generally satisfied with the status of black people in the record industry. We have Jackson brothers and sisters, and Whitney Houston.

Following the acceptable status of black people in the record industry, he turned the topic to Hollywood, where except Denzel Washington, other popular ones such as Eddie Murphy and Ubi Goldberg could only play gags and other harlequins. Not long ago, Morgan Freeman's award-winning role is nothing more than a driver for an old Jewish woman.

Song Ya said that Hollywood is not familiar with...

"Are you the news spokesperson sent by Old Joe?" The host took off his headphones and vomited in person.

Song Ya shrugged, "I'm only fifteen years old and have to be careful."

"If you don't say, I thought you were fifty!" The host laughed angrily.

After coming out of the studio, Hayden led a group of gangster black people waiting outside, "APLUS, let me introduce to you, this is Escobe, Cooper, this is APLUS." He turned the head Bit introduced to Song Ya.

Escobe is a former member of the NWA. Last year, he broke out and worked alone. Last month, he also posted a new album, which seems to be called Amerikkka's Most Wanted.He is only in his twenties, he has a beard, and he always holds his head up to look at no one else. He is dressed in dark blue. The jeans, sweater, and baseball cap are all dark blue. There is a swash in the front of the hat. 'D' is the logo of the Tigers, the local major league baseball team in Detroit. What is rare is that he can't see the golden three-piece suit of other black stars.

"Hey..." Song Ya hurriedly fisted with the old man in the rap world.

"YO! APLUS, it turns out that you are so young... how old do you think he is?" Cooper and his companions pointed at Song Ya and joked, then put their arms around Song Ya's shoulders, "Let's go over and talk."

Song Ya glanced at Hayden, and Hayden nodded to indicate that it was all right.

Cooper is currently at a disadvantage in the air scolding battle with his old friends from NWA. The specific situation is probably this:

Cooper said a lot of money was scammed by'Big E'(creator of NWA).

'Big E'said that your parents are both (University of California, Los Angeles) employees, and they don't belong to our street at all. What kind of gangster rapper...

Cooper said that he wrote half the words of NWA.

'Big E'said you do not belong to our street.

Cooper said that he contributed a lot to NWA.

'Big E'said you do not belong to our street.

Cooper said...

'Big E'said you don't belong to our street anyway.

In this way, the public opinion in the black community is really biased towards the'big E', as if from a well-knowing family, it is the original sin to receive a good education.

But Cooper is a very smart person. He lost face in the scolding battle and won the lizi. Most of the songs in the new album were written in the scolding battle. The offense and defense of both sides won a lot of attention, and indirectly omitted With a large amount of promotional expenses, it is not difficult to get a gold record (500,000 sold) for the new album.

He didn't have any bad intentions, so he happened to be doing a show on the radio. He heard the interview with Song Ya on the radio. He knew that he was the person who wrote the second-hand store, so he came to get to know him, and invited songs and invested in his movie project.

"Movies?" Song Ya naturally didn't have songs for him, but he was surprised to hear that the other party was still making movies.

"Yeah! It was invested by Columbia Pictures, showing the street story of our lame (a black national gang that originated in California) teenagers, and joined the group at the end of the year."

Cooper pulled out a corner of the lame flower headscarf with blue background and white stripes from his jeans pocket. "Look, I'm a real lame man, everyone recognizes it."

It seems that he has been stunned by the'Big E', and everyone needs to prove his street attributes.

It turned out that the film with Mila was invested by the same company, and the time for joining the group was almost the same. Song Ya originally wanted to ask about the situation again. When he saw the gang, he immediately pretended not to be interested.

However, Cooper's conversation and thinking are obviously much higher than those of other blacks from the bottom. Song Ya happened to ask him about recording marketing skills.

"I know, you like to rely on big record companies..." Cooper blinked at him and smiled, "SBK, right? I heard their opinions about you when I was running a promotion in New York."

The'them' here undoubtedly refers to the New York black music scene.

"Uh...I have some misunderstandings with them..." Song Ya quickly defended, "Those black girls don't meet my requirements. I'm only fifteen years old. I can't think of it so deeply."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all minor problems. I'll see them later and they will help you speak." Cooper sold a good one. "As for selling records..."

He said: "What is the purpose of publicity? It's nothing more than selling more records. As long as you can sell records, what kind of publicity is good publicity. You see, big white record companies are firmly in control. TV stations, such as MTV, Saturday Night Live, Oprah Show, current affairs news, large-scale competitions, can take the opportunity to market records, and the ability to carry goods is not to be said. We black people will never have a chance to fight alone, but if we cooperate ..."

"Is there a chance?" Song Ya didn't feel it.

"Of course there is a chance, do you know that there is another thing with super ability to carry goods, Billboard list?" Cooper asked.

"I know."

"The bulletin board singles chart is not a list purely based on sales. Because of its long history, the broadcast volume of radio stations has a high weight in it. And now the radio station...I have been promoting all over the meter over the years. Due to the rise of television media, white people generally dislike the prospects of radio stations, thinking that it will be eliminated sooner or later, so now in various radio stations, our own people (black groups) have gradually occupied most of the DJ positions. If someone can unite all the black DJs in the whole meter and push the same song at the same time, then this song will inevitably be pushed to the forefront of the bulletin board in an instant. Nowadays, people are chasing the trend, wouldn't the record sell?"

Song Ya felt that Cooper's theory of currency exchange was very innovative and made sense, but he quickly figured out the crux of the matter, "What if the white people change the way the billboard weight is calculated?"

"Uh...this..."

Cooper was asked, "The white people control everything. If that happens, our path will be completely blocked. We can only wait for the future to see what new media will appear."
