Turning around, he forgot about it, and unexpectedly Derry came to the door the next day, "Sorry, he can't come in person because of the bodyguard murder case."
Sure enough, it was about Snoop Dogg. "It happened that I came to Chicago to run a publicity campaign, so this matter belongs to me." Derry said.
"Is Snoop Dogg okay?"
Song Yazheng and Goodman were waiting for him in the A+ Records office while watching the news broadcast of the latest developments in the MJ case, "I was just about to call him."
"It wasn't him who did it, and his bodyguards just fought back in self-defense. The other party chased the car and shot first. That little hip-hop singer wanted to become famous overnight, but he died."
After the two hugged and fist bumped, Dre explained, and then pointed to the newly hired black lawyer MJ on the TV, "This person is helping to fight the case, and he should be fine."
"Cochran?" Song Ya was a little surprised. Goodman was still saying to himself just now that Cochran was almost the strongest black defense lawyer in the entire meter.
"It's him, it's very expensive." Derry didn't rush to say why he came. The three of them stood and watched the news of MJ's case silently. After a while, he asked, "What do you think, can MJ win?"
"The chances of winning are very high. MJ has learned a lesson for nearly a month. He hired Cochrane. The participation of this African-American barrister can calm people's doubts about his legal team being too 'white'. He also found Two highly respected African-American pastors came to endorse him..."
Under Song Ya's gesture, Goodman expressed his opinion: "At the same time, he asked the lawyer to accuse Evan Chandler of extortion, let the other party fall into multi-line combat, and in every available During the legal process, we tried our best to create obstacles and troubles for the plaintiff, put on an attitude of not being afraid of procrastination, and created the greatest psychological pressure."
"That's guaranteed to win?" Dre asked.
"Uh... not necessarily." Goodman shook his head, "Evan Chandler may have realized something was wrong, so he invited Feldman again the day before the formal lawsuit was launched, which was the pre-meeting of the Los Angeles Bar Association. Long, contacts and ability are top-notch, difficult to deal with."
"Can that dentist afford it?" Dre asked.
"It must have signed a vulture agreement, and after receiving huge compensation from MJ, it will be divided proportionally." Goodman replied.
"These damn lawyers!" Dre yelled, "NGer's hard-earned singing money ended up giving them all the fuck."
Goodman touched his nose.
"Is there anything I can do to help Snoop Dogg?" Song Ya helped relieve the embarrassment. He must have secretly complained before that it wasn't that mafia singers are too troublesome, but after so much, he actually knows that sometimes you If you don't look for trouble, things will find you.
"A small thing, but he said you wouldn't answer his calls," Dre said.
"I'm very busy, I have four classes, and I have to practice acting and vocal music..." Song Ya made an excuse.
Dre smiled. "Also busy buying DefJam, right?"
People in the circle must have heard the wind afterwards, "It's just a part of the shares." Song Ya replied vaguely.
"Fxxk, we NGers are busy in and out of the game, and you can already sit on the board of directors of a big hip-hop label." Dre complained, "I beat a woman who spoke for Escube in 1991." Host, you spent three million in legal fees on a civil lawsuit, and ended up paying a settlement, those incompetent guys!"
Song Ya frowned slightly and didn't answer. The guy in front of him was good in other aspects, but his liking to hit women was too unacceptable. As far as he knew, except for his girlfriend and the hostess, soon Another black female singer was beaten by him before.
"Let's get down to business, Snoop Dogg's buddy WarrenG signed to DefJam, did you know?"
Derry didn't notice his unhappiness, "Actually, WarrenG is also my half-brother, but you know, this kind of blood relationship is a bit awkward to get along with,
So he basically hangs out with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dog brothers, the three of them formed a 213 combination. It was he who showed me the demo of the group, and I discovered the talent of Snoop Dogg. "
213 combinations...
Song Ya almost laughed, "I'm just asking about the specific business." Shaking his head blankly, "Isn't Warren G signed to Death Row Records?" He remembered that the gang from Ruthless Records followed Derry to Death Row Records.
"Sugnett doesn't like him."
Dre didn't want to talk about the internal affairs of Death Row Records, "In short, you help take care of that kid at DefJam, although he is older than you."
"That's it?" If you got kicked by Su Ge Knight, you should set off firecrackers to celebrate, right? Song Ya smiled and picked up the microphone, "I'll say hello to President Lyle Cohen, it should be fine."
"Aha, it's not that simple."
Dre stopped him, "WarrenG is from the west coast, and DefJam is an east coast label, and the old people there have a lot of opinions on you. You have to be strategic about this matter."
"Oh I see."
Song Ya understood. Derry wanted to take care of his brother, but he was afraid that it would be a disservice to him to show up. After all, he had just bullied Russell Simmons. Even though he was the largest individual shareholder of DefJam, the group of singers still did not Show tame. WarrenG is from the west coast, and the situation is very delicate. Externally, it is best to pretend that he has nothing to do with him.
It's hard for Derry, a gangsta rapper, to think so delicately, "Then?"
"WarrenG was in charge of a song not long ago in the soundtrack of Justins who wrote poetry, and it was very well received. He has also accumulated a lot of songs over the years, and he will probably be able to make a special one next year."
Derry said: "You can just help out quietly, use the recording studio, publicize resources and so on, don't let him be bullied...I'll go over there to say hello, he will sell my face."
Song Ya readily agreed to this matter. It is estimated that Derry was embarrassed to talk to himself at the beginning and asked Snoop Dogg to do it, but he didn't expect that he would not answer Snoop Dogg's call.
"besides……"
Dre mentioned one thing before leaving, "The Source magazine will hold the first Source Music Awards in April next year, only for rap artists, this is the first award that is completely our own, you will go too, right? "
"The Source Magazine?"
Song Ya knew that this magazine praised her very much at the beginning, especially after The single became popular, and then she had a bad relationship with Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, and their attitudes began to become mixed. After Fergie's LondonBridge came out, she became more completely hostile. She often scolded herself in articles for not praising a white female Rapper, helping white people enter the black music field and so on.
This magazine also likes to make troubles. Many diss between rappers are fired and known all over the world because of them.
The two sides who are "on the shelf" of public opinion can't get off the stage, so for the sake of face, they have to fight each other to the end.
"Forget it, they don't like me." Song Ya shook her head.
"You have to go." Derry said: "Everyone will go, East Coast, West Coast, South... The first music award that belongs to the rapper group itself, and it has enough credibility, and those who don't help to improve will be collectively rejected. And if you, the boss of Chicago rap, don’t go, will Chicago rappers be able to hold their heads up in front of rappers from other places in the future?”
"Fxxk, it's the kidnapping of public opinion again, where is it held?"
"New York."
"Of course, they are East Coast media, and they have a good relationship with those in New York, such as Puff Daddy. The irony is that this is actually a magazine run by Jews." Song Ya complained.
"Jews are the only ones who can remain neutral in the fight against black people, right? What are you afraid of? You are now a shareholder of DefJam Records, and they still have to rely on your singer news to fill the magazine content!"
Derry's words also make sense, Song Ya smiled bitterly: "A rapper full of theaters?"
"A rapper full of theaters."
"There won't be a gun battle, right?" Song Ya thought about the dark scene, feeling dangerous just thinking about it.
"Haha that's not good."
"..."
"No, it shouldn't be... right?"
