Assist:

[flash]http://www.youtube.com/v/huQR_0vSXDM[/flash]​

Two words: NO PUBLISHING

Same ol' story. Different singer. :smh:

D-Nice 1 (The Nice One)
 
DAMN THAT'S FUCKED UP!!! :smh: :smh: :smh:

SHITTED MAYBE SHE FUCKED UP SOME MONEY SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE AND REALLY OVER SPENT!!!!
 
:lol:

How many times do we have to go through this before they finally understand? All the time they spending on trying to make money in the music industry...:smh:. Get a real job. How about that? Shocking...I know.
 
Overspending. I remember hearing about her complaining about the money she wasn't getting with Lucy Pearl (talking about how much it cost her to get her weave done!) when she quit them.
 
Sad. Handling money takes practice like anything else. No one knows what they would do with that big chunk til they have it in their bank account.

Everyone always says, "i wold do this or i would do that," but until you wake up one morning and that bank account that said $217.32 last night says, $287,549.32 one morning, you don't know what the fuck you would do.

Let's hope we would all be as prudent as we say should have been. Yeah, right!
 
Damn indeed. :eek: That last part with homeboy trying to sell some CDs for gas is insane. It almost makes them (well her anyway) seem like regular folks going through some real shit, except you and I cant call up known record producers and ask for meetings. You almost wanna feel sorry for them.
 
Wonder what the contracts signing looked like for Dawn and if she as smart as she appears to be that the ? Well if she does becomes a star and Dre once again, then I hope they better manage their money this time. Good Luck. :confused:

I don't feel sorry for them one bit. Instead of going out and trying to get real jobs, save up some money and then try to come back into the music business (after picking up some other skill to fall back on)...they're still hoping for 1 big break. Come on....it's 2007. This isn't some fairy tale.

And I have to respectfully call bullshit on not knowing what to do when you come across some large some of money. You invest it...plain and simple. Buy a house or something with some equity...then start buying stuff for yourself. That way you at least have something to fall back on. Hell, open up an ING account and drop a quarter of it in there for a rainy day. Only idiots would blow that kind of money without a back up plan.

And on top of all that, she probably didn't have any cut of her publishing meaning she didn't have all that much money to begin with. :smh:
 
But think about it, what if she doesnt make a comeback????? What applicable skills does she have other than singing and music writing.......? What happens when she gets old?????? Honestly, she can probably go and get a REGULAR JOB MAKING $30- $50K but her pride probably gets in the way, she is a beautiful woman someone will employ her.......I wish her well because I was crazy about En Vogue but sometimes pride is before the fall.

In the music industry world she already is old. Shit, EnVogue first dropped in like 1992, so it's not like she can rival these new non-singing ass R&B chicks out now. But she can sing. Still, he best option, if she dont want to be "regular" like the rest of us is to try writing for other other artists and wait for those checks to pile up. Still, I think she's "done."

:yes:

This is one thing I will say for 50 Cent, Jim Jones, Lil Wayne, etc. They are at least learning from these mistakes and have spawned other businesses outside of music to earn themselves some money. Can't stand their music but I can respect them on the business end.
 
Can't say I feel sorry for her. Everybody she collaborated with said shes hard to work with.

Is that a white boy she wit???

:smh:
 
Folks over spend. Don't don't write music (which means the only check they get is the .45 cents per CD and if they are lucky, from a successful tour. If they are smare enough to write their own music GET YOUR OWN PUBLISHING COMPANY. Don't have your shit under Suge Knight Publishing. Accept cash only for your work, not some expenxive car or a chain like folks do. Don't spend anything until your third CD. Don't go buying momma and granny a house until you have some actual bank. And then, what does granny need with a 20 room mansion?

I tell folks, the music industry doesn't want 30 year olds. If you tell a 19 year old, ""Hey, I got this Cadillac. All you have to do is make the payments." the kid is gonna jump and say yeah and sign his life away.

If you try the same thing on a 30 year old he is going to ask you all kinds of questions. "What's the APR?" What is the total value of the car/retail value?" All kinds of shit. Young folks will fall for that okey-doke. Quickly. Older folks...not so much, and definately not as easy.

Cosign, still feel bad for her though...... I think when people get that much money it becomes sort of a high for them, and once they lose it then they try to gain it back and live the same lifestyle while they are attempting to gain it back. Thus creating an illusion/pitfall that they can still do the same things and expend the same way with eroding looks/talent getting older and that is not the case..... Most people only get one chance at nice money.....

Now that I think about it...she could make cake as a music teacher. She sang with En Vogue...someone would pay her. I guess I don't feel sorry for her because she's been in this game for so long and she's still trying to make the same mistake. The money in the industry isn't really in the singers, it's in the people behind the scenes signing the checks. She should be trying to get on as a talent scout or something. Getting signed again is only going to lead to the same shitty results.

I've learned that many people like to continually do the same thing over and over again with the same results.
 
Well, fuck it! I'll support her (& Dre) cause they tryna survive for real! Not only that, they real artists with real talent and all these no talent ass mufuckas radio is pushin' is wack for real!

Stay up, Dawn!!
 
Just think
$500k is ten years salary @ $50k.

With no investments and a lot of poor
spending and its gone in half that or
less.

Now just think..they been gone for a minute.

Unless you stay active in Hollywood you gotta work
or have investments. Or go into blood sucker mode
like many hoes out in Hollywood.
 
Man FUCK both of them bitches. They act like the industry OWE them somethin. They complainin like bitches like they the only mufuckas gone thru some hard times tryin to get on. You don't wanna sleep on the floor no more...get a fuckin job or start a business, but if you live for the music then that shit don't matter. ENVOGUE was a producer's group. She sound like she owed somethin because she was chosen to be in that group. If you ain't wrote no songs and ain't got no publishing...bitch you ass out.

well thanks. been lurking since FOREVER and figured I might as well dust off the screen name. But I wish Dawn well, Like many singers who just bring a cute face and a voice to the table, there's gotta be more. I'm sure we all know, or know of, someone who is talented and you always wondered why they didnt blow. Like she said herself, she's had TWO chances. How many more do you need? Some of us are on chance number zero.

Exactly! She burned every single bridge she ever crossed with every single person who ever tried to help her... this is karma. She should look no further than a mirror to find the reason for her demise. It speaks volumes that she's the only member of En Vogue and Lucy Pearl living on skid row... and NO member of either group will lift a finger to help her. Good luck and good riddance, bitch.
 
"Grammy Awards, Soul Train Awards, with the triangle--American Music Awards...we sleeping on the floor"

That was funny and sad at the same time.
 
"That's Hustlin" :lol: Spoken with loads of frustration.

That aint no fuckin way to live life at 30+ years old. :smh:

I guess its for all the marbles when you don't have shit.

Its like gamblin with your last......fuck it might as well. :smh:

Aint no body trippin off her him or that song and
thats the real sad part. :smh:

Its a new generation. They betta try some snap music. :lol:
 
I notice that had a big screen FLAT screen in the place.. you can't cry broke if you got a flat screen..

but that story seems compelling... don't see why they haven't shopped it to MTV or BET or VH1...
 
cant say I feel any remorse for her situation

At the end when he was bragging about her achievements I am saying to myself bitch you should be rich or have some money in the bank

guess she just not "entertaining" any more

backup singer?
she could probably make some money or some other behind the scenes work in the industry

but like others have said she want the spotlight and pride wont let her go back --> she must be a star ..

Well .............she is living with that decision
 
Is this sort of plug for a reality show?

She left the group, so now she can't even tour as a part of En Vogue :smh:

Can't really feel sorry for her. She thought she was a solo artist. And she wasn't making that much off En Vogue, because they had to split it four ways and they didn't write and produce.

Oh yeah, I'd still fuck :yes:
 
I respect her hustle despite the circumstances.
