"Black People: Pick A Side And Stick With It" (by Bigg Luc)

Proud Blacktopian Citizen Bigg Luc the King had some something to say about the reaction of our people about the news centered around Rachael Dolezal.  Here is what he had to say and feel free to voice your opinions as well.

 

Rachael Dolezal: Ok. This is my only post that I intent on speaking about it because in all honesty it's trivial. So here goes:

1. She infiltrated a race that thought they were invincible and no one could outsmart them on how black someone is or isn't.

2. She claimed the black race and embraced the life but still gets flack for wanting to identify with that race for whatever the reason.

3. Other historical figures such as Queen Jackson Haley haven't gotten half as much of this press although she was half white and half black. I believe the politically correct term is mulatto. Things that make you go Hmmmm

4. J. Edgar Hoover has origins of being part black but is rejected throughout history but black folks still claim that all life evolved from Africa. SMH

Do you see where i'm going with this? This bi-polar, selective inclusion isn't working too well for black people at all. And might I add, is not a good look for any race to be viewed especially one where this same race has been trying to break down stereotypes and blend in to other cultures.

Artists NEED to Know this Before Signing a Deal (by Bigg Luc)

Blacktopian Citizen Bigg Luc gives some great advice to rising artists looking to get a record deal.
Here is what he had to say.




Make sure you don't sign anything until you have an entertainment attorney look over the agreement. Another thing, if a label aggregate is coming to you trying to sign you to their label, but wants you to but up $2,500 to them to distribute your cd and they're not promoting or marketing your project while asking 35-45% of all profits, run like the plague. It's a scam. 

I run a label and don't charge half of what these crooks do. We also provide advisory services to our clients ie contract review of other services from other firms on a probono basis.



If you produce your band and put money into the project, you're the/an executive producer on the project. Create a separate entity so that you get points from that project as exp. Do the same for producer, songwriter, singers etc. Make sure you write a separate agreement for each service with either a flat fee, residual percentage points or a hybrid of both in the agreement.
