Today's Blind Items- The Managers
If you are represented by these managers, I know you slept with them and are probably still sleeping with them. You are also a female because the only way they would rep a guy is if he were a monster superstar already where they didn't have to do any work. These managers are known to most of you, but not as managers. Most of you know them from the music business where they used to be big. B+ list big. A couple of hits big. They get papped enough where they stay in the public eye and makes them look more attractive to their female recruits. They also make sure to appear when they can on music television shows, again, to attract the women. It is great if you have talent because they will make it look like they are doing something for you when anyone else could have done the same thing. If you are not talented, they will represent you until they get tired of sleeping with you and then you will be sent on your way. In the meantime, while they are sleeping with you, they will use you to find other women who may or may not be talented. They love signing new talent and then running up their fees. Not only do they take a cut of the earnings but they also travel and drink and dine all the time using the money of the people they represent, claiming it is a business expense. Did I tell you they are both married? Makes it even that much worse.
Only managers I know are gay, i.e Sandy Gallin and Benny Medina
ReplyDeleteRussell Simmons and???
ReplyDeleteMatthew Knowles
ReplyDeleteDunno, only name that comes to mind is Babyface and his agency.
ReplyDeleteSimon Cowell?
ReplyDeleteT.I. ?
ReplyDeleteUh....Phil Spector?
ReplyDeleteI think Benny plays for the same team.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, thus the reason I stated "only managers I know are gay"
ReplyDeleteThink we're looking at Hip Hop industry here.
ReplyDeleteBird man & Little Wayne are a producing duo, and separately artist
He's still in jail, trying to divorce his gold digger cocktail waitress aspiring singer 20 something wife,
ReplyDeleteBig & Rich from the country music world?
ReplyDeleteTim/ Faith?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing whoever they are, they were probably on American Idol and/or The Voice. What other music shows are there?
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the Madden Brothers but I checked and they actually manage more guys than girls and none of the guys (bands) are "monster superstars" . There is only one band and Jessie J female so they don't fit.
ReplyDeleteJacob York & Lance Rivera, in leased Bentleys stocked with lean and dank ass weed.
ReplyDeleteJacob York/Electric Republic: They currently manage Karrueche Tran and some "social media influences". York was kind of a big deal in the Biggie Smalls/Atlantic/Junior M.A.F.I.A.days. Junior M.A.F.I.A.--> Lil' Kim.
His lifelong friend/partner is Lance “Un” Rivera, twice stabbed by Jay Z at a Q-Tip release party in December 1999.
"Lance Rivera, also known as Lance 'Un' Rivera is an American film director, film producer, screenwriter, record producer, and music executive."
If they're not guilty of this, they're guilty of something startlingly similar. Maybe they wrote the blind - they do it all at some point.
I'm a fan Wonder and you are correct. Their roster is very male dominated none of whom are huge (yet). So no, they don't fit the blind.
ReplyDeleteI know he isn't the correct answer, but this reeks of a stunt Nick Cannon would pull.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I read this blind was these have got to be a couple of guys that can't get women on their own. Then I looked these guys up.
ReplyDeleteBig pimpin ;-)
ReplyDeleteElectric Republic just started representing athletes via their 'Sports Division'. They have one guy so far. One nobody NFL player.
I suspect they negotiate beard contracts for Instagram 'models' and YouTube celebrities.
