Chapter 1159: The Fifth Chicago Conference

The headlines are definitely gone, the Grand Commander Lace, Big Boat, the Grammy microphone snatching incident, MJ appearing on the highest political occasion in Silla, and even Xiao Lizi, who is so popular in the sky, has a new girlfriend again, all of which are more popular than his comeback single.

"It's an outdated smell." Melissa, the new assistant, laughed.

Song Ya glanced at her, how could she be a person who likes to complain, a bit of a shadow of Taraghi, "I'm just gone for too long." ”

"These hot spots have nothing to do with the record industry, the boss's first order is selling very well, and all the radio stations and music media are helping to push desperately."

Path dependent, President Linda is still the same as before, with the help of Die-Die Public Relations Radio, traditional media, and the First Music Community America Music Website, Universal has managed to get more 'high-class' music reviews, Rolling Stone and other magazine resources.

What are these for? In fact, it is the one that Song Ya learned from Motura and Escuber in the past to bring goods, and he rushed to the list.

"But now the B-list is no longer good." Song Ya said.

But the B list is different from the beginning, especially the singles list with a weighted algorithm, can no longer fully grasp and represent the trend, and the current popular songs on the streets and alleys are my heart is eternal, hot girls and backstreet boys' teen pop songs, Marilyn Manson's rock and roll, etc., all of which are not reflected in the singles chart.

Billboard magazine itself has been plagued by manipulation and internal problems, and its penchant for political correctness in suppressing singers such as Marilyn Manson and Gangster Rap who are not liked by mainstream public opinion, which has further undermined its credibility.

Valentine's Day Weekly Crown is a rhythm and blues slow love song by Arthur Kid, 100% LAFACE label owner BABYFACE style Nice and Slow. There are also mostly familiar faces such as Jenny Jackson and Boyz II man in the back, and there are still a lot of rhythm-blues and adult lyrical songs.

"But our grip is only on the B list APLUS, it's better to take an empty crown and press Arthur Kid down, he and the newcomers at B-GOD are your homogeneous competitors, Arthur Kid is more rhythm and blues, and B-GOD is more hip-hop."

People from the world reminded: "The heat in the past few days is definitely not as good as expected, and on the 21st, we won the empty crown of the B list, and then used this to do a good job of further publicity." ”

"Isn't it a bit like I'm suppressing juniors? It is not necessarily good to fight with young second-tier singers by degrading their style, and MJ has long stopped throwing off the B list. ”

Billionaires have their own reserves.

"Kid Arthur is actually only four years younger than you." People from the world said: "I debuted only four years after you." ”

"Dance better than you." Melissa interjected.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Song Ya was a little speechless and looked at Linda.

"It's worse to lose the list competition, and it will give the outside world a reason to speak, can you imagine? APLUS made a comeback to defeat Kid Arthur, and his time has passed...... Something like that. ”

Linda also advised: "And BABYFACE didn't actively support us in the matter of your shooting." ”

"Okay."

Song Ya was persuaded by her latter sentence, "Then what should we do?" ”

"Keep on the list, it's the old way, but that's all we have to offer." People from the globe said, "Your current status is no longer suitable for making big news, and that kind of news is generally negative." ”

"Hmm."

The director of a listed company, the major shareholder of a company that is about to go public, will lose more than he gains when he makes his debut.

"We have a lot of power? LAFACE Records can't beat us in the charts? If Daddy is willing to help with the greater New York area, an empty crown should be fine. Linda said, "Nine times out of ten." ”

"Wow? The greater New York area now has to be his help? Song Ya asked.

"The king of New York is not self-appointed."

Linda replied, "You also transferred a stake in the Inner City Broadcasting Company to him?" He's stronger. ”

"Looks like I've been away for too long."

Okay, Song Ya doesn't care too much? "Daddy was just robbed of the microphone by ODB, and he should need my support now."

Both sides have a war to fight? There are no conflicts of interest at the moment? With the basis for cooperation, it is not a big problem to help each other.

Song Ya made a phone call, originally pointing to simply asking the braggart dad to help? Or a transaction? Unexpectedly, the braggart dad remembered the Chicago meeting, which had long been suspended, and he suggested that it be reopened.

"APLUS, I NEED YOUR SUPPORT FROM NOW ON, AND THE WEST COAST."

Daddy braggart seems to be concentrating on dealing with his enemies in New York, "Wudang Gang, Irv Gorti, LL cool J......" I guess he also has a small notebook to remember? "And B-GOD, you won't like that newcomer? Legend...... It was Motura who built him back then. "I also took the opportunity to take eye medicine.

"It's normal for a record company to package a singer, and I won't meet the same as the younger generation."

Song Ya's eyes narrowed.

"Just these two days? I'm flying non-stop from Los Angeles? and Snoop Dogg. "The braggart dad is in a hurry, and public opinion doesn't sympathize with him after being robbed of the microphone? Instead began to laugh? He's the New York of gangster rap...... No? The king of the East Coast, of course, has no face if he can't handle his own territory.

"It's not the kind of person who kills around, does it?" Song Ya didn't want to be involved in any more violent incidents.

"Don't worry."

"Come on, then."

On the outskirts of Chicago, the necessary ancillary facilities and the basic interior and exterior decoration of the new A+CN and A+ record headquarters have been completed, Linda and others will move in on a large scale next month, and some high-level executives are already designing their own office hardcover.

And because A+CN is facing drastic adjustments after the listing of Littleman Media in April, the progress of this building is much slower than that of A+ Records next door, Song Ya stood in the empty lobby of A+CN on the top floor, observing the workers downstairs through the glass to mark the temporary parking space.

β€œYo……”

Daddy Boast was the first to arrive, "Wow, Hohoho......" he shook his head and sighed, "It's really amazing here, your kingdom?" APLUS, I LIKE IT HERE......"

"Thanks, it's a little remote." Song Ya bumped fists with him.

"You can see the antenna high up here." Snoop Dogg is back to his old cowardice with him, but this time behind a strange black man.

With a mess of former death row inmates, Sugknight in prison, and the traitor Dre's own label in dire shape, Snoop Dogg eventually didn't follow suit, instead signing to a label owned by former black basketball player and rapper Boximler, No Limit, owned by EMI.

Bohemiller, whose stage name is Master P, is very powerful on the streets of New Orleans in the south, and he can provide an umbrella for the dogs in the local area.

So it is equivalent to following the instigation of Derui to turn against himself but retreated at the end of the matter, and once again shook the old brother with a feint, and now the relationship with Derui is over.

Well, it's not necessarily over, business is business, and maybe they will get back together in the future.

Song Ya raised his eyebrows, and found that he was a little underestimated and bragged about his father, this guy pinched Dre and Snoop Dogg, which means that he also has a lot of influence on the West Coast, plus it gives Quincy Jones face after falling out with his lover Will Smith, the two sides are getting closer and closer, not limited to the East Coast, he has a very deep layout in the entire black music circle.

"TV station."

He fist-cuffed with Master P and the dog, hugged him, and then pointed to the A+ Records headquarters building opposite, "The party is ready over there, let's talk over here first." ”

"Is anyone else coming?" Master P, who is attending the Chicago conference for the first time, asked.

"Meeting."

Song Ya replied: "They are all old people from the past, Dre, Escuber, my friend Huang Yuan in Miami, and NAS and Jazzy ...... in New York."

The dog shrunk his neck at the sight of Drey's name.

"Isn't BABYFACE coming?" Bragging Daddy asked.

"I'm just trying to squeeze out the weekly champion of Kid Arthur this time." Song Ya did not hide his main purpose.

"Understood."

For the time being, there were only these three people, and the bodyguards and followers all stayed outside, and Song Ya chatted casually with them.

"That's where you got shot last year?"

"Yes, I didn't see the billboard down there, it was a mound."

"I've heard that the gunman used an AK."

"Yes, but AK didn't shoot twice before it got stuck, haha, can you believe that AK stuck?"

"Wow...... You're really aplus. ”

Bragging Daddy and Master P sighed again and again, their eyes were infinitely admiring, no matter how really banditry, the blacks on the 'road' in the whole United States did not disagree with them in this matter, and they had to coil up when they arrived in Chicago.

"Our Master P might make it to the NBA."

The topic shifted to Master P, who had never dealt with him before, and the braggart dad joked.

"You're still playing?" Song Ya was in awe, this guy is in his thirties, and he used to play in the low-level league.

"Don't listen to him, I played in the preseason for the Charlotte Hornets last year but ...... The results are not good, and I plan to try again this year, and it is my dream to play in the NBA for the last time. Master P laughed.

It's already great to be considered by the NBA at the age of thirty, and Song Ya bumped a fist with him again, "Do you want me to say hello to my brother Jordan and let the Chicago Bulls try you next season?" ”

"Really?"

I didn't expect Master P to take the blow seriously, and his eyes lit up.

"No problem, wait for my news."

Song Ya regretted it a little, but luckily Dre and Escuber came at this time.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, "Brother Drey." Snoopy Dog hurriedly stepped forward to hug him guiltily, and the two seemed to have not seen each other for a while.

Dre clearly remembered the grudge and accepted the hug, but he didn't pat the other person's back while he stood dry.

Daddy and Master P glanced at each other and bowed their heads and smiled in tacit understanding.

Today's DΓ©rex is an unlucky ghost, the ambitious new label Aftermath is gone, the savings are gone, the status of the rivers and lakes is exhausted, and he is chased and scolded by the gangsters and rappers on the West Coast, and he is so depressed that there is only one follower left, who is still a white man.

"Brother Cooper."

As the host, Song Ya naturally wanted to give face to the guests, "Long time no see, Derui." ”

"APLUS, THANK YOU FOR STILL BEING WILLING TO INVITE ME."

Dre hugged him sincerely, much more enthusiastic than the dog, and his tone was even a little choked, "It's really not the right time for you to get shot, really." ”

"Haha."

Song Yale is happy, if he doesn't get shot, maybe he will help him, but this is where he is unlucky.

"Yo, remember me, big star?" His white attendant spoke suddenly.

"You are?"

Of course Song Ya didn't remember, there were no rules, and his hand was stretched out at random and gently touched the other party.

"Eminem, Eminem, our stage name when we met was Manix, the Dow factory in Detroit? Remembered? ”

This kid is not polite, dragging, and has a ruffian look that is not afraid of heaven and earth, a bit of the taste of 2PAC when he first debuted, "Eminem will release a new album soon, The Slim Shady LP." Dre put his arm around him and explained, "My own, we're in Detroit most of the time right now. ”

Song Ya still didn't think about it, he was always a rookie singer, yes, it seems that Dre likes him very much, and the pressure will only be greater if he chooses to praise a male white rapper when he is already excluded from the circle, of course, from another point of view, it also shows that no one will mix with his ass anymore if a black singer has a little way and ability.

Daddy and Master P continued to laugh evilly, and Eminem lifted his chin unhappily to the two bosses.

The braggart dad sneered lightly, and chose not to see the little people in general.

"Boss, Jazzy, they're ready to party."

Linda came over to report.

"OK, let's go over."

The party was held in the well-equipped A+ Records headquarters building, and Jazzy, as his younger brother, was in charge of the preparations in advance.

"Okay, let me introduce you to you."

The local bigwig Song Ya read the cut for the fifth time, "Welcome to Daddy Braggart, Jazzy, NAS from New York, Escuber from Los Angeles, Huang Yuan from Miami, Master P and Dogs from New Orleans, and Dere and Eminem from Detroit......"
