Fake Industry Personnel & People Over-Playing Their Parts: The Fall of Jae-Dame
It never fails and I mean NEVER, that I meet someone somewhere at sometime in this industry that is; a) either a total fraud or b)just places a level of importance on what they do (like their the head for the Center Of Disease Control). An array of people all ages will approach me, mind you they approach ME (obviously that let's me know where I stand) then subsequently; they'll sit there and ask me a myriad of questions ranging from; what do I do, who do I know and a whole plethora of things. Then as to pull rank, they start dropping a billion names and telling me how cool they are with Jay-Z. Really? #Stopit5......drink your drink and come back to reality please! The same goes for the video chicks.Listen; just because your knees were featured in the latest artist video (not even your face), doesn't mean your important. Networking means being able to communicate with people. It's one thing to speak on what you do, to showcase your prior work and to let an individual know your plans BUT, to sit there and attempt to belittle someone because; you feel they don't have pull or be beneficial to what your doing is crazy.One thing this industry taught me; is be kind to everyone because the person serving coffee in the office - just might turn around and be your boss the next day. Now watch as I pull this fake A&R's card so sad SMH.....
