[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by tific: [qb] @Doug M. A few points. Whites & jews have always owned the majority of music companies .But the musical output & artistry was of a higher calibre. The Jazz ,soul & blues artists of yesteryear for example had many flawed characters who also faced discrimination & injustice but they never disgraced themselves women .culture , community etc . They were also well received & encouraged to migrate to Europe. If I introduced you to a criminal associate who never rehabiliitated but wished to do business with you..A sensible person with morals would disassociate themselves. Record labels are never going to merge because many of the owners or participants have already broadcasted that they are criminals. They may have some success & traction on a regional level but will never expand. The roster would also be restrictive & predictable otherwise you would have artists with polarizing & opposing views.Many artists would also be scared or intimidated & no one would care or sympathise if you were defrauded etc for obvious reasons. If you look at the details you can confirm that the most negative & damaging acts are not as creative or talented as they like to portray. The albums have featured guests on every other track & a lot of their personal wealth is from investments. Record labels are also brands & in normal circumstances you or a artist on your record labels conduct can also damage / eventually undermine your brand. [i]But in the bizzare ignorant world it can & has enhanced many brands. [/i] A darker hue man could hypothetically rap about killing others but the content would eventually have to pass through the [i]background staff[/i]of publicists , promoters , sound engineers ,djs , photographers , music journalists distributors etc. Who would be alerted & take action. What purpose would this serve? [/qb][/QUOTE]I am not sure what you are saying but as I mentioned earlier a "Mafia" is all about control. It doesn't have to be illegal. In fact the roots of most "mafias" in America came from the desire to control the economies and money flow in the various ethnically diverse neighborhoods of places like New York City. So the Irish formed councils and associations in their part of town, the Italians did the same in theirs and so forth. Illegal activities were only one aspect of this, but most of the money came from [b]LEGAL[/b] exploits: contstruction, contracting, etc. Black people watch movies from the 40s and 50s and all they get out of a Mafia is talking loud and acting boisterous and proud. That is called being "notorious". But that does not mean you are in control of anything. So if black folks are the prime talent and the basis of most forms of American music culture, then why don't they rightfully own and control it? Because they are disorganized and think as individuals and not as a collective. All the other groups in America have a strong collective identity and the original "mafias" were part of that concept. Just as the first settlers were part of an organized "corporate mafia" established by the royals in England to exploit the labor and resources of the Western Hemisphere and rest of the world. Black folks want to be notorious they don't want control. Definition of Mafia: [QUOTE] a closed group of people in a particular field, having a controlling influence. noun: mafia "the conservative top tennis mafia" [/QUOTE]Of course crime and criminal gangs didn't start in Italy.
