My journey through the entertainment industry..............

[wisepharoah]

Also I didn't come at forest like put me on. I'm a student of the game and everyone I interact with I like to absorb some knowledge. He had directed some music videos and waiting o exhale so I was interested on his take in directing and storytelling. He doesn't have enough pull to put me on. David geffen could put me on jerry bruckheimer, ste spiel, sumner redstone. I'm talking major leagues man I'm not in this game to be just another name making !!%*!*%$. I did my homework and I hustled my way to wear I am. I'm talking about what it takes to play at a high level not just get a foot in the door. I did PA work 7 years ago. I'm not here to argue about what makes more money because its not about money for me its about high quality !$%#. The only black dude that can put me on is Tyler Perry (gay to btw) and I'm not feeling his brand of entertainment.

I wouldn't want to be around that personally. You seem like a positive dude; and very creative. Judging from your post, you seem to side with the positive influence. Why would you want to deal and work with the very thing you disagree with? I mean I know its just a job, but you know what that jobs requires and some aspects may go against your character.

 

[wisepharoah]

Already tried messing with Cube through DJ Pooh. They were working on a website together and I had some content forf them but it never got off the ground. I'm not *@!%%$% with black dudes because I'm trying to play ball at a high level like I already said.

There aren't enough roster spots for every high school and college player to lace 'em up in the big league.

It just seems like it's one of those things that is never going to be fair and that's just the way it is. But that's not limited to the entertainment industry, that's business as a whole. Every person in a position of power has probably done some unfair things to somebody at one point or another, as well as had unfair things done to them.

Onlt thing is there is one HUGE diff. Hollywood is not, nor has it ever been, a meritocracy. Most of Hollywood is still run like mini fiefdoms. I can second a lot of what wisepharoah (apart from the gay stuff; I wouldn't know eitherbway) says because I'm pretty good friends with a dude whose an extremely close relative of the deceased Lazar Meir aka Louis B. Mayer of MGM fame. His immediate family is still involved in Hollywood to a large degree.

You said you want to direct, have you made anything independently? (Short film, script, etc.?)

Guys this guy has no idea what hes taking about.

sorry man, but you see talent get shafted all the time and i work at a TALENT AGENCY so i wouldn't know?

lol who do you think is doing the shafting? (no %#$#)
damn i think I'm gonna have to double no %#$# that one!

Good luck man your gonna need it, forest whitaker has enough juice to put you on, you should know that knowing him you could potentially get a meeting with ANYBODY he is big enough for that, and if you think tyler perry is the only black guy who can help you dont have a clue.

Like i said before LOOOOONG way to go. LOOOOOOOOONGG way my man.

Heres a thought: have you ever wondered why there are so many gays or jews? its because they take care of their own first. you would be better of not forgetting that and focus on increasing your own chances....
Good luck to you man you need it, and a lot of it. You do remind me of myself when i first started......lol at dropping PA work from 7 years ago....fetching coffee FTW!

PS David Geffen = Gay

I'm sure eddie murphy and neyo are gay.

There aint no straight dudes that can move their neck that much.

Usher got that bromo vibe too. But maybe he like the attention from women too much lol.
