Music Industry

Just because Chris Brown has a Grammy doesn’t necessary mean he won it fair and square. That’s because insiders say Grammy Producer Ken Ehrlich was working on Brown’s behalf when he offered up some big bucks to secure a Grammy Award for Chris Brown.

According to reports, that’s exactly why Ehrlich recently made his way over to “CBS This Morning” to defend the annual music ceremony’s backing of Brown. Don’t believe me.. Ask Neil Portnow, President of The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Here’s what an insider had to say about the situation: Continue Reading…

HSK Exclusive - A group of young aspiring musicians have fallen victim to the pitiful wrath of one low life Hollywood swindler. You may know him as Father MC, a one time rap artist who’s responsible for ripping off tens of thousands of dollars from his victims, promising record deals and high-end recording studio facilities before disappearing with their life savings.

HSK has exclusively learned Timothy “Father MC” Brown used Craigslist to lure his victims. After gaining their trust, the “Treat Them Like They Want To Be Treated” lyricist promised $10K would secure them production and recording deals. It may be the lowest of the low for Father MC to go – all to support his expensive lifestyle in the Hills of Studio City, California.

HI JACKY!

I NEVER HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU BUT I JUST HEARD YOUR INTERVIEW WITH CARLOTTA!!!

I am speechless! Because everything you said, I have been complaining to my husband! I kid you not, I swear, just yesterday my husband and I were having a discussion about the music industry and how music is not what it used to be.

My husband is into hip hop. He came to this country when he was 9, so he didn’t grow up with the music I did. Let me tell you about myself, I am born in ’83 and am a scientist, I am Haitian. I LOVE MUSIC! If my parents weren’t so strict, I always said I would go into the music industry. My IPod consists of: old Jackson 5 music, Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Michael McDonald, Al Green, Billy Joel, Ambrosia, etc. I have all different types of music! People always described me as an old soul, I say no, I just know good music, and modern music (most of it) is garbage!

I just wanted to write to say thank you for stating what I have been screaming about for the last year: all these little kids born late 80′s early 90′s don’t know anything! They are so lost! And I feel bad for them because unless they go and inquire about the origin of music, they will NEVER be informed.

God bless!

HSK Exclusive - The scent of Indie Power may be nothing more than a con-man’s smelly feet! That’s because sources say even though the CEO of Indie Power, Jay Warsinske, takes the credit for marketing and breaking acts such as Dr. Dre, U2, Tupac, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayen, Guns N’ Roses, Eminem, Madonna, T.I., Ramones, AC/DC, Green Day, N.W.A, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana – he didn’t exactly break a sweat for his success.

So, what exactly did Warsinske do? We’re told he played couch potato, at his house with wet smelly feet. Don’t believe me.. Ask Kool Keith

HSK Exclusive - Over the last five or six years, Timothy “Tim Dog” Blair has been keeping himself busy as a successful conman. Know why? Because Tim Dog wasn’t only swindling women out of their life savings, he was also running a crooked booking agency called “Big City Entertainment”.

Now, HSK has documents that prove Timothy “Tim Dog” Blair’s company “Big City Entertainment” was in conjunction with another illegal booking agency “GME” – to sell to promoters, concert performances that would NEVER take place. Tim Blair profited hundreds of thousands of dollars (as documented below), while at the same time ruining the reputation for the artists he falsely claimed to be representing in the Australian territory.

Tim Dog managed all of this, right from his Atlanta Peachtree apartment, in a city surrounded by his artist victims. Continue Reading…

Sugar Hill Records is facing some big trouble with Uncle Sam, and now it seems the men behind the label have thrown in the white towel. Just yesterday in a New Jersey courtroom. Joey, Leland and Rhondo Robinson pleaded guilty to federal complaints – charging the trio with ducking federal income taxes from 2005 through 2008.

According to my man over at the Cliffview Pilot, who broke the story:

“Three sons of the founders of Sugar Hill Records today admitted in U.S. District in Newark that they failed to file federal tax returns for several years, costing the government nearly $1.5 million dollars.” Continue Reading…
