Now, it recently came to my attention, while watching MTV Jams that the music game is very slippery and wild - anything goes. I have long heard the stories of well-known artist with a mix of clout and cash, straight up taking a little known (outside of their home fan base, of course) and less exposed artist's music.
Oh yeah the game is nasty!
Now I watched in disbelief, as Hurricane Chris when asked, "How did the song Halle Berry come about?" told the viewing public that he had just come up with it and the masses came.
He played his role - we are going to get at this point later!
So being from Dallas and hearing the Halle Berry Hurricane version, initially I understood it to be a remix of a song that I had been hearing for quite some time…I mean at least a year or so…
So when I heard the Hurricane Chris version, initially I was excited for Dallas, but in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but feel perplexed because I couldn’t fathom them giving Hurricane Chris the credit for this song…but I was oblivious and even ignorant to them pulling a fast one…and I’m from Dallas. I should have known better that I’d heard this song before RIGHT?!
Anyway, shortly after having the recollection that I had in fact, heard this song before I fervently searched YOUTUBE.com. I was able to find a video posted by a young fellow named Supastaar out of Dallas, who's song was hot in all the streets, radio stations and nightclubs. Not only did the song originate in Dallas, but the particular dance and persona to match. Now let me recap for you, the song, the style and the dance existed long before Hurricane Chris got on.
So I came to the conclusion that, Hurricane Chris's camp heard the song and believed they could take the song further i.e. make some money, with him taking the credit. All while compensating Superstar with a lil bit of cash and tossing him a bone in the form of the last verse on remix (Chris's version), and perhaps with the negotiation piece of "Hey we are going to make you rich and take this project far."
What do you think?
