iight thats word, ill start.
When i started doing radio,one of the biggest promoters in town approached me wanting an interview, i killed that shit and gave him a dope interview.
2nd time comes arouund he contacts me again saying if he can come by the show for 5 min just to promote a big sean concert, and seeing as though his pull is huge i said yes, so like an hour before he comes through he texts me saying "we're doing an interview, and i have the camera crew with me" and at this point im pissed because im caught off guard but excited for the exposure, so we did another interview, it got mad buzz and he put the video on youtube and didnt give me any credit whatsoever. But then when he did other interviews with more known DJs he got theyre name all over the youtube videos. He didnt even say thank you...
So i saw him at a party, i minded my own business and he hit me up again for another interview but this time it was to giveaway tickets, and this was going to get me about 1,000 more listeners, i thought about it for a while and my manager told me not to do it but being the young n dumb dude that i was i did it, and it was a huge success, i had 83 people call the station within a hour, i gave away tix n CDs and more people got hip to me. So he put the third interview on youtube and before he did that i told him to give me my credit, so on the video it just said my twitter name for a second (literally) and that was it...didnt say the show title, my name, or anything.
In the end i turned out to be the top 3 radio host for hip hop in my city in less then a year, and the promoter has seen my success, and is always on me, but i brush him off, and now hes always askin for favors, i just ignore him and keep it moving. thats one example but ill throw some more out there. it gets deeper
