Today, I came across this extremely interesting and informative article on Pigeons & Planes and I definitely thought that you guys should take a look. A year ago, former Hip Hop Publicist Sebastien Elkouby wrote an revealing article about his disgust for the music industry entitled "Confessions Of A Failed Hip Hop Publicist" and it immediately catch everyone's one and he received both good and bad recognition from it. He states:
"In January 2013, I wrote a revealing, soul-baring article titled “Confessions of a Failed Hip Hop Publicist” which expressed my profound disgust with the music industry, my disappointment in the caliber of rap artists soliciting my services, and why I chose to retire. Written both as a cautionary tale and as a form of personal therapy, my goal was to let the universe know that I was done with this crazy industry, once and for all. No longer would I subject myself to working with second-rate rappers whose only goals were to become the next Chief Keef or 2 Chainz. No longer would I have to put up with self-important media gatekeepers who wouldn’t recognize real talent if it beat them in the head. But as the saying “God works in mysterious ways” implies, the universe had something else in store for me."
One year after writing this article, Sebastien write a follow-up letter for Pigeons & Planes in which you can check out. Hip Hop heads need to pay attention to this one.
