The Jermaine Dupri Blame Game

By: Frank Paul Gambino

Now it is all about Jermaine Dupri again, but unfortunately he tried to take all the credit counting the chips before they fall.  He is an executive producer of the Discipline Album in name, wrote many of the songs in name and named the tour after one of his songs.  Every time you read about him he has them mention Janet Jackson’s boyfriend.  Now he lost his job because of his decisions, but they point the finger at Janet Jackson and not at his poor managerial skills, poor judgment and bad decisions.

Well in the business world often the buck has to stop somewhere, I said earlier about his relationships with people like Janet Jackson and Little Bow Wow, Usher and the list goes on that they  were unethical in that as a member of Universal Management team, he was unlawfully or unethically fraternizing with the artists and he being a manager at the record company had to be aware of his unethical relationships.  Did he miss that managerial briefing?

I said it was dumb to have the franchise being Mariah and Janet compete, but this was his great idea to promote the artist, whereby having them work together would have promoted the label and unity among the artist, hell I would have had each of them featured on the others album, but he set a situation whereby one would fail and one did.

He choose to follow Janet all over the country playing cameraman trying to manage on the down-low instead of outwardly representing himself as the manager while everything went haywire.  He hired LL Cool J and Nelly, members of Universal Records, meanwhile LL Cool J was on his last album with the label that did not do well, due the same problem Janet Jackson faced lack of promotions.

It is obvious that Jermaine Dupri spent too much time at his celebrity attraction parties and being a Dee Jay (Disc Jockey) and not enough time in the boardrooms and now just because he did not do his job to be informed of the record company priorities (Missed that Meeting also?) and his errors in judgments, because of his obsession with an older woman, are we supposed to believe it is all her fault, just maybe he was in over his head and might get back to doing what he might be able to do well and that is make beats in the name of producer.

The rumor is not that he just got fired at Universal Records but got dumped by Janet Jackson who decided to count her losses, due to his poor managerial skills and lack of vision, so as he blame Janet for his failures and as he points the finger at her, there are three fingers pointing at him.  What is Janet supposed to do continue as if none of this happened and allow him to manage the rest of her tour?  He was giving the best in the industry to work with and turned it into shambles.  Janet Jackson’s career is on the verge of disaster all since screwing around with Jermaine Dupri. 

Sorry Jermaine if the buck stops at you, welcome to the world of middle management.  Now do not at a fool and blow your studio because it fed you before and can feed you again.  Then again this can be another Jermaine Dupri fabrication, but I hope not it is about time that Daddy’s boy pays for his mistakes.  This is only the beginning?

Janet Jackson’s Love Story is it Fictional or Real?

They say everyone in Hollywood has a deep secret, sort of like an initiation into this elite group of shining stars.  And sad but true Hollywood is so made up that it is pathetically not exemplified in contrast common society.  The rules of the game for a celebrity are different from that of common citizens and because of the arrangement often they burnout.

Take Janet for example, lately she has not taken photo shoots with Jermaine Dupri whose career thrive off of his relationship with Janet, now uncontrolled rumors are circulating that she is pregnant and she is pregnant not!  She is being force to go back into the spotlight to confirm or put to rest these rumors.  How unfortunate it is that a person in Hollywood has to be in a relationship to not be considered to be homosexual by the media and cannot have a platonic friend without being accused of being in love affair.  The people behind this I call the Gay Mob, who actually controls the gossip of Hollywood and the voice of perverted media.  But what the hell gossip is fun to read and Hollywood is about escapism. 

This comes to Janet history of love affairs are they fictional or real?  Well Janet said herself “My middle is privacy and my first name is control.”  She also said “my name is Ms. Jackson if you are nasty.”  Then she claimed to have grown up and degenerated into a symbol of lust, so again is these affairs real or Memorex?

Her Love Affair History in short:

In short she dated everyone in Hollywood, but she was said to have long term and nuptial relations to these three.

James De barge (annulled)

Rene Elizondo (Married in secret and divorced)

Jermaine Dupri (Long Term Boyfriend)

Basically Janet’s love resume has not a blank space; she is in and out of relationships faster than the ink can dry from the prior one.  It is said by mainstream media her and James De Barge have a love child, but is it possible that Janet is actually the mother of two grown women?  Like I said everyone in Hollywood has a secret, is the circumstance behind the birth of her daughters her secret untold?

Is Janet really a Nun pretending to be lustful for the camera, is she like me being person who prefers to be known as bad than for bad thing to happen to me.  In Hollywood either you are in a sexual relationship or you are put on the homosexual consideration list.  Is Janet trying to avoid the personal scrutiny her brother Michael was subjected to, is there a secret man in Janet’s life?  All of this makes for more rumors.  Finally it is my understanding that Michael Jackson is not dying, but is alive and making new music, should he be sidetracked by gossip and tabloid media and be seen all over the place to kill the rumor.  Hollywood thrives of on gossip about celebrities. Sad but true!  All in fun I guess!

The Black Market or Marketing Reach Link

By; Frank Paul Gambino

I do not know if you noticed, but the DVD piracy market is putting out some impeccable copies of movies still in the movie theaters, yet people still go to the movies.  I do not know if black market DVD’s replace the demand to go out the movies but what I do know is that it increases the reach (How many people see the movies). Is the black market good for Hollywood actors and actresses or bad for them?  The answer to that depends on who controls the distribution of the pirated videos.  And there is the term pirated appropriate?

Personally I think the term black market will phase out and it will be called what it actually is which street sale is?  A major breakthrough for the musical artist was MTV it gave music videos reach and frequency often at the cost of the artist, because it was considered a promotional tool even as commercials were in the mix and companies like Pepsi and Coke paid for air time because they knew that music videos attracted a young viewing audience, so the record companies got paid from both sides and in exchange the recording artist got famous.  Not necessarily a fair exchange.  Personally I think when an artist performs in a music video they should get paid by the record company for doing what they are doing which is acting in a short musical film.  This should be a union issue!

The street sales of DVD’s is a direct sale to the consumer, the cost of these DVD’s are low because the overhead is small.  Most movies make their money back with a profit in the theaters.  The costs of making a movies is not considered in the marketing of pirated DVD’s, they costs about $0.25 to $.50 to make as the artwork is inexpensive and they are distributed to the neighborhood dealer for about $1.50 to $2.00 per copy, at least $1.00 profit is made per DVD at the distribution end.  The catch is that millions upon millions of these movies are sold each in places like New York City and around the world.

Music videos can cost as much as $2 million to make without including a salary to the artist to be recouped from the artist share of album sales, meanwhile a decent movie can be filmed for about $10 million especially if the actors are not getting paid extravagant salaries and through direct sales and the movie theaters all monies for the filming of the movies will be made back with a generous profit and what is good about this is that the reach and frequency of the movies will be huge.

So the question of a Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson or Alicia Keys $2 Million dollar music video verse a $10 Million movie with some of his songs included in the script which one will be more beneficial?   I will leave this as an open ended question, but if the goal is to sell albums, get out a Buzz and get paid at all ends instead of being exploited literally by the record companies, it is a clear distinction as to which strategy is more profitable to the artist, trying to gain reach and frequency and getting paid in the process.      

Michael & Janet Jackson World Tour 2009 & the Apostle

To: President George Bush & President Elect Barak Obama

From: Frank Paul Gambino

Date: 6 January 2009

Finish what you started before you take on anything new today. You need to get on top of your workload and you need to do so soon, otherwise you could find that it all gets a bit too much for you around the time of next Sunday’s full moon.

I think Janet should release a party with Janet CD with her best fast songs, it should sell because it would be an opportunity for people to get the best songs from all your CD’s on one CD or a double CD, I would go for one CD like I did it.  Then she can do a Party with Janet World Tour with Michael as the opening act.  If she can continue to pull in 8,000+ all he has to do is pull in 10,000+ and we have sellouts around the world and then she can come back and do the shows she postponed with Michael.  I would do a duet with Michael as well to have a new song on the charts, plus record 4 new songs for the tour. 

It is not about the money it is about your name and fame level; go for a Live Nation Contract as a result of the tour.  I do not know how she let Jermaine Dupri turn her against your own brother.  “Janet Chooses Jermaine Dupri over her Family.”  How could she even allow such a story be told about you?

I sent Janet and the Jackson Family a CD with 17 of my songs, that might consist of the soundtrack for the Apostle, I would like Jermaine Jackson to perform most if not all of the songs, it would be his hit, be complained he never had.  I offered Michael the starring role in the Apostle playing Paul Jones (Castellano), that would be his break into the movie industry and the release of a Janet Party CD and touring on Michael card would complete her comeback, then she can go back to the studios.

There are two versions of the Apostle; I would use the one with the fake names to protect the innocent and guilty and create a small level of mystery.  I think we should do like Beyonce did with a Wil Smith twist, what I mean is like Cadillac Records which was very good must I add, we should bankroll the movie and get friends to work on percentages of the profits, to keep filming expenses down and have an all star black cast in the process along with quality Italian cast, because it is about a half African American and half Sicilian involvement with the Mafia while being raised as a black person in a black neighborhood controlled by Italians at street level, but all the time it was him who was in control of the action, but he lived two lives not aware of his role in the Mafia due to hypnosis or his relationship to a famous entertainment family, we can leave that as a mystery.  And a strange twist is it is about bible prophecy.

The Wil Smith twist is we will control or black market distribution at whole sale level, which will increase the profit margin and get the story out there to the people of all income brackets.

Like I said I can go on, but I try to keep the morning letters a certain length and this is my proposal.  Janet and Latoya could play my mother and Ms. Virgie who were best friends on light skin and one dark skin, we need a John Gotti actor and so on, there are a lot of rolls to fill that are not all cameos.

Seek Fame and Fortune

To: President George W. Bush & President Elect Barak Obama

From; Frank Paul Gambino

Date: 5 January 2009

Don’t sit around waiting for fame and fortune to come to you – get out into the world and seek them out for yourself. You have never been one for modest ambitions and with Jupiter on your side this year you really can have it all. Just take it.

You seem to have a great many things on the go in your life at the moment and could probably do with a little more private time to calm your mind and emotions. No one will give it to you but no one can stop you from taking it either. Over to you!

I do not have too much going on, yesterday I was very tired and near exhaustion because I was on the go since New Year Eve until the 3^rd and did not realize I did not sleep enough.  I made up for that yesterday and like I said I often become rude when I am too tired and say things better left unsaid but not necessarily untrue.  It is true that Big Paul Castellano was whack for a lesser reason than what Jermaine Dupri pulled with Janet Jackson.  But John Gotti thought he was going just benefit from it without any repercussions, but had to do 10 years for it.  I am not going to talk about it because talk is cheap, we will see at the end whenever that will be, I still think time is on my side.

I am not going to fix my screenplay until March 2009, I think it is a very good screen as is, as a speculative version and perhaps a final version, why it is not being picked up is the same reason I have the many problems I have, it is too close to the truth and exposes too many genuine secrets that I posted already anyway, but my readership is not that high a volume so a lot of what I say is not believed or not heard by the masses, but put on the big screen it would be heard and considered by the many.

If I learned anything about the entertainment industry is that it thrives on gossip, one time I got about 1,000 hits in one day talking about a series of nothing and my two most popular articles that got and get the most consistent hits are things I do not think people believe but find intriguing.

In 2009 I could create myself into celebrity status and become fair game for people to insult, it will not necessarily but money in my pockets.  I have the investment capital to make minor moves, but until I feel the glass ceiling is removed I am hesitant to invest money as they say on a wish list or dream not at that scale anyway.  Do not get me wrong I could go all out and be ill-responsible and hope for the best, but by no means am I simply playing safe, I am building something slowly but surely.  Once I make this final upgrade on my studio I will have something to work with.  And other than maintenance the investment will be complete for about three years.  Hopefully I three years it will pay for itself at a minimum.

As for the music thing I am up and running now but I do not like my demos, I have good beats and words but when I put them together my vocal range is an impediment, maybe it is time to work with a few friends and family members interested in music.

Like I said, I will take care of the little things this year and if they flourish so be it, but I am not going to reach beyond what I can do on my own, like you said nobody is going to help me even as I helped everyone that keep telling reach for fame and fortune; it is my opinion that you’ll are full of shit, because nothing I do is enough.  I may not make a fortune in 2009 but the year promises to be very interesting and full of surprises.  I could write on and on, but I keep these morning letters a certain length if possible and it is possible today.

Music Production at a Glance

The Gangster Monk meets the Lustful Nun?

To: President George W. Bush & President Elect Barak Obama

From: Frank Paul Gambino

Date: 4 January 2009

There may be some tension in your life at the moment but is it based on anything real or is it, as seems likely, based on illusions and misunderstandings? Get rid of that Pisces pessimism and believe that it will all come right in the end – and it will.

Why the suspense when you know the damn answer?  This is not the first time I was told I had nothing to worry about meanwhile I was left on the shelf to rot, while punk ass bitch Jermaine Dupri was running Janet or should we say Ms. Jackson’s life.  To be honest you should have whacked the bitch, you did Big Paul Castellano for a lesser reason, but in both cases we have impersonators.   Two people claiming to be me at two different capacities.  See and you a creating a domino effect just last night I think I heard Jay-Z call Janet crazy and disrespected me claiming to be the man of New York City and if I am right me a devil or some shit, all because you let a punk ass mother fucking bitch slide through the cracks and embarrass me, but I have nothing to worry about?

I mean who is Frank Paul Gambino a bunching bag?  I said I rather be known as a bad guy who does good things than a good guy bad things are done to.  I have no honor or respect and because of that I will turn out to be a good guy who was forced to do bad things to people.  You think I am gong to just let people get away with character assassination?  Yes I have plenty to worry about.  Whether Janet is playing games or not pregnant or planning her future, meanwhile what is my role in her life?  I have no role!  That is not an illusion!  For some reason you think I am supposed to know everything without being told anything, all fucking childish games; all part of a pattern of procrastination.  I built a dynasty that you let scum destroy overnight and for what to test me are you the tester?

Do not ever tell me I have nothing to worry about when you are intentionally trying to worry me, because with your indecisive questions you are intentionally doing that trying t worry me.  Now as far as not having anything to worry about on a higher plan it is due to acceptance I will roll whatever way the ball bounce, but on my day of glory it may turn out to be a day ten times worst than the Valentine’s Day Massacre by Al Capone and that is a sad thing. Instead of love and peace we may be faced with kill, kill and kill, then love and peace.  Why couldn’t Janet just assume be a Nun? Why I had to marry a damn Pop Icon, with an ego?  I should have never placed her in Hollywood, she has been spoiled rotten.  I mean what is this really the Gangster Monk meets the lustful Nun, this whole shit is ridiculous.  It is becoming a comical drama.  I mean do I change the name of my screenplay to the Gangster Monk meets the Lustful Nun for the Apostle.  This is all dumb shit and you are playing with the wrong person, I wakeup to drama every morning and I am being side tracked while the world is going to hell.

The Jackson Family should be proud of humble beginnings

I think Jermaine Dupri was managing Janet’s career since about 2004 and he staged the Super Bowl SNAFU and it is true that Justin Timberlake was setup.  The shit backfired and since her career tumbled.  I feel like she played me to the maximum, considering I have a degree in Industrial Management Technology (In Electronics) and Paralegal Studies and am a reservoir of ideas.  What makes it sad is they never compensate me for anything or any contributions.  Code I was used by Janet, because she knew I loved her and that is not about shit, in fact it is sad.

First of all, Janet was chosen by God to assist in fulfilling to prophecy of the Bible, why she is ashamed of this is beyond my comprehension.  I know it sounds far fetch but she knows the deal, but continues to fight it with her bad girl image.

^{Ro 1:16} I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 

^{Ro 1:17} For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”  

Statement by Jackson’s Publicist

“We are not ashamed of our humble beginnings and we realize our talents are a blessing from the All Mighty.  But may we remind you that when your father had his first Jaguar we had a our first Mansion, but is that what it is all about or is it about what you give back?  Furthermore Beyonce your husband Jay-Z came from a housing complex called Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, New York, so if we are trash what does that make you?  If being poor makes you trash, than we should all go into the sanitation business and clean up the mess.”

Statement by Frank Paul Gambino

The Jackson Family should stop claiming they are angry for having a humble beginning because that is the story about the Jackson Family; we call it the “American Dream.”
