yea i got that but what was it that he didn't cut u in on? sales money??
a music video. usually we split the jobs. he shoots i edit. I hooked his computer up for editing, which I shouldn't have did, because soon as he got that he tried to cut me out of a job right in front of me. It was like a slap in the face, because any time someone asks me for who does videos, or can I edit something, I refer them to juey to film and let him get half the money.
Since we didn't see eye to eye on loyalty in the past, or maybe miscommunicated on what the requirements were. I wrote up a contract with him for what the rules are about our music and our business. We both signed and agreed on it. Splitting certain music video jobs was one thing we already had in the contract. I hadn't invested in a camera setup because I had been putting my money in other places. Upgrading the studio and stuff like that. I put every free dollar I can into this music.
I sold my old somewhat outdated camera setup and let him have the video lane, I can't film myself. We would trade videos for studio time, thats why you saw so many malki videos filmed by juey starberry (and usually featuring him because I'm not a hater I would let him get on any song). I give him an hour in the studio, he gives me an hour on a video. Except I'd give him way more hours than he would give me, which is something I wouldn't worry about since he was dependable when it came to videos.
But the investment wasnt fair. If i'm using a 20k dollar setup, and he had a a 2k dollar setup, its not the same thing. If he had a 20k dollar camera like a red or something maybe I'd let him get away with more but not this. Plus when it comes to our music, he does the bare minimum. I'm in the lab like dexter. He will come do his part and leave and he got a full time job, where this is my hustle no job I do studio, beats and videos for a living. He does maybe 10-20 percent of the work I'm doing 80. But im splitting the credit with him 50 50, for what? You got a full time job and i dont know where my next dollars coming from, and you try to shit on me over 300 bucks, when I'm the fuckin guy who even enabled you to be able to get that? fuck outa here. Plus I was gonna put the money right back into the music to benefit us both. We coulda took 300 / 300 and a lil more, and went half and put something on worldstar or got a feature from someone that could get us some buzz. He not thinking about building the brand with me. He only thinking about himself. His priorities are in the wrong place hes focused on the wrong things, being selfish. He doesn't put 100% time effort and money in like me. He was taking me for granted.
So yeah... Fuck it, I bought a new camera, the one he was supposed to get but to cheap to get. I said fuck it and bought it. Bossed up. Now my shit cleaner than his and i have a film business to go along with my studio business. I don't think he's serious about music, and if he is, hes not an ally, he's definitely not my friend or my colleague after pulling shit like that. So idk. I left up the music we did but yeah I erased all his shit from my instagram. Why should i promote him he doesn't even promote himself. I put him in the music video game. I taught him how to do music videos... Without me nobody would know who Juey Starberry even is I made him known from my wave. I guess I got his head too big I got his songs posted on snoop doggs page and in videos with mistah fab... Thats it...
I'll be damned if I let someone get on off me and be greedy like that. Hell nah. hell nah. Its on me now.
