Exploitation: How to Destroy a Black Male in 10 Steps
·

1. Scour low income neighborhoods for misguided youth with flashes of
talent. Make sure the artist has a strong local following from perpetuating a
self-destructive narrative and the charisma to make self-destruction seem
appealing. Artists with previous jailtime are preferred for credibility
purposes.
2. Ingratiate yourself to the artist by promising them riches and fame.
Refrain from admitting the truth, that most artists are in tremendous debt to
their record label and flaunt rented jewelry, cars and homes. Sell them the
dream that they will be one of the half dozen Hip-Hop artists with legitimate
financial security. It shouldn’t be hard to convince a disillusioned youth who
doesn’t know the true value of money. Get in good with whoever is investing
and/or managing their career to this point so you can have a voice inside their
camp.
3. Sign the artist to a 360 deal, but don’t announce it. Set yourself up
to get a cut from whatever profits they earn. Speak with their aforementioned
investor and/or management and develop a method for them to skim money from the
artist’s future earnings, primarily show earnings. Partner with that person as
if you care for them, but keep them at arm’s length. This is only about
ownership of the artist. Offer no artist development or media training, but
ensure you maintain complete creative control over their career. You need to
control their album content, album art, music videos, social media profile, and
social agency.
4. Afford your artist access to your immense resources. Find the song
you believe will be a hit. Don’t worry about lyrical quality, just easy
digestion. Make sure the song has a particular line that is fun to recite but
ultimately counterproductive. Make sure your artist’s musical content, life
story and/or fashion sense is polarizing enough to inspire think pieces. Film a
music video. Ensure the video is provocative, memorable, and easily digestible
for viral media. A dance would be a good idea. Make everything appear organic
and “out of nowhere”. Use your network of artists, executives and media members
to talk your artist up. Make them go viral.
5. When the song and video connects with the masses, put the media hype
in overdrive. Make sure all the DJs are playing your song. Make sure
established artists are “fans” of your artist to build credibility. Get your
artist spots on popular radio shows throughout the country. Make sure whatever
line or dance you chose to sell your song is firmly established in pop culture
and becomes a meme. Encourage other entertainers and athletes to support the meme.
In the midst of this, keep the illusion that your artist is unsigned to build
intrigue. Encourage a “bidding war” narrative even though the artist is signed
to you. Maintain your distance.
6. When the time is right, use your press department to announce your
contract signing. Tell your artist to say he was “signed for 2 million”. Let
the media run with the speculation. Distribute the press release and incite
hysteria and excitement that you created a young black millionaire. You need to
preserve the illusion of Hip-Hop being a financial savior for impressionable
kids and 36 year old twitter rappers still dying to be signed. Refrain from
clarifying that not only was your artist not signed for 2 million, the advance
he received is merely a loan from which all album expenses will be taken from.
Celebrate the “new” signing with a picture or video, preferably one that reeks
of white paternalism and minstrelsy.
7. Offer zero guidance. Ignore the fact that the social insulation of
newfound fame may estrange your artist from former friends and family who see
him as an ATM. Ignore the possibility of your artist spending well beyond his
means trying to support leeches. Don’t advise them of taxes or long-term
planning. Let him spend his advance and show money recklessly on car rentals,
hotels, clothes, jewelry, groupies, strip clubs, bottle service,
pills/weed/syrup and maybe even guns and drugs to sell. Let him remain
blissfully ignorant and intoxicated, especially as his manager steals money
from him.
As the hype from their initial single starts to fade, the inevitable
“beef” with other artists (possibly related to pre-fame street beef) commences,
and they finally realize their money is looking funny, the artist will become
upset and disillusioned with fame. Ignore their outrage. Don’t offer them any
advice. If they confront you, reassure them everything is fine. If you feel the
urge, offer them a vanity label which they’ll think makes them a “boss” but is
little more than a letterhead that you control.
8. At this point, push for their second single. Offer them considerably
less promotion to see if they’re viable on their own. Don’t offer any guidance
on what the second single should be, as long as it’s not substantive or
uplifting.
9. As their music career starts to flounder, they will get desperate.
There will be voices of family and friends juxtaposed against the life they now
live and a desperation to preserve their new lifestyle by any means. If music
doesn’t provide sustainable income, they will turn to their former life. As a
known entertainer and target of police, they won’t be able to successfully
transition back into the streets. They will end up entangled in a perilous
legal situation.
Their bail may be as high as 2 million dollars. Back a Bondsman and bail
them out at a premium of up to 10%, or $200,000. Make everyone think you’re
loyal to the artist, even though you’ll receive the premium back after the
trial. By law, the Judge releases the prisoner into your Bondsman’s custody.
You own the artist even more now. Take the opportunity to drain them of
whatever’s left of their freedom and musical relevance. Attempt to make every
cent you can from an artist until conviction, at which point you present them a
bill for their advance.
10. Repeat Step One.

“STRUCTURED BEATS FOR YOUR SONGS”

beats are great for the following:
