Yep... Because they're not in the Malls buying $100 gold watches, half million dollar cars and shooting each other up on the highway.. Their thought process is strictly business.. I remember a long time ago, watching the movie called The Mack.. The main character is a pimp who called himself Goldie.. when asked how he had become so successful as opposed to others who had fallen off.. Goldie said..👉 because they want the Honey.. I just want the Money. Weinstein, Weinberg, Goldstein and Silverman want the Money.. the rappers can have the honey.
Respect you brother Marquis rest in peace fresh kid ice . A born-and-bred in the Mia grew up listening to your music. Brother that's the music business everybody's a snake.
I remember when I was a kid I watched 2 live crew perform Funk Shop on the Donahue show and it was hilarious to see the audience expression when Brother Marquis did his verse. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 “Now spread your wings open for the flight let me fill you up with something milky and white” - Brother Marquis 😂
I know a lot of people are going to dog Luke and rightfully so. Here's the thing though. the music industry is a f*cked up business. It really is. The business model of the music industry does not favor the artist or content creators. With that being said, I remember reading this article about 3 personality traits of people that you should avoid if you want to be happy: 1. Narcissim- Someone who is full of his/herself 2. Machiavellan- Manipulative and indifferent to morality. Do anything to achieve what you want 3. Psychopath- Someone who basically doesn't know right from wrong and has no remorse about it right. No empathy, they justify their actions no matter what Funny thing about that is, a lot if not most fortune 500 CEOs possess those traits. I think it's no different in the music industry with guys like Luke or Puffy or Suge or Master P or J Prince or Russell Simmons or Dr. Dre or Eazy or whomever. You have to be pretty ruthless and have no feelings to run things in this world. I'm not saying it's right or trying to justify any of their actions, just saying that's the way it is and CEOs and people in charge seem to have these traits more than the general population.
Joe Weinberger and the attorney appointed by the court to handle Luke's arbitration sale of the Luke records graduated at the same college and were fraternity brothers.

This is sad. All the behind the scenes and bad blood ruined everything we saw in front of the camera. The videos, booty shaking, wild parties etc etc. All fake
I don’t disagree with anything Marquis said but there is a few other things to consider. First like it or not without Luke, 2 Live as they were known at the time was a one hit wonder. A 12” in those days could carry you a whole summer and the both sides were true bangers. Their second single was okay but definitely wasn’t as good. Luke kept booking them in Miami, inserted himself in the group, took Miami lingo and changed the whole trajectory of what 2 live was about.
shameful, because luke was like a label owner before any of the others and should be a billionare from the industry by now but the greed bit him in the behind smh 😳👎
Damn Luke is portrayed as the best in the industry 😳 after all of this and he betrayed his very own partners who help him become who he is what a shame!
I remember this back in the day lil Joe records thus was a terrible time for music. My friend went on tour with 2 live crew it was 2 different tours shit was crazy
To be fair, Luke was screwing over brothers long before the Jewish man came along. Does the story start when a Jew takes over Luke's catalog? The BS started 15 years before that. And if you don't want the vultures coming in, then don't go blow 100M.
If you have some particular item that you can sell and you sell it, then the the complaining over who bought it is not warranted, not justified. But it does shine light on the fact that we might need to look over what we have to see if we could monetize the thing properly before we sell it. Maybe we bring in advisers or something, come on... you know... But the video does say Luke figured it was worthless without him, so, there ya go.
Let's sêe...he sold all of the 2 Live works, his 3-4 solo projects, 3 Poison Clan albums, LeJuan Love's album, 2 Shy D albums (maybe), Tony MF Rock's album, Anquette's album and all various singles on Luke/Luke Skyywalker Records and In Effect Records for pennies on the dollar.....YIkes 😬
Brother Marquis, sorry about your experience some people are evil in this world! However a piece of advise, you need to get your self a good entertainment lawyer that will work pro bono for you & Mr. Mix. The name could not have been officially sold without all your 3 signatures. It's like signing jointly on a bank account. Funds can't be released without all the signatures! Mr. Wynberg will pay you guys big time after 26 years repackaging movies, music etc using your legendary name!
I agree Mr. Mixx and Marquis do need to seek legal counsel. But the way I understand it, Weinberger 'shares' the name. Anything HE packages as the 2 Live Crew he profits from. However, Chinaman sold his share to Weinberger. Now he owns 2/3 of the name. For Marquis and Mr. Mixx to profit they have to repackage it themselves. I am not an attorney. However, it sounds like there should be a conflict of interest in this case. By the way, no lawyer will take this case for free. The plaintiffs are expecting a big windfall. This is not a criminal case where there's been a miscarriage of justice and someone's being railroaded into prison. Their representation will want a percentage of the award.
Doggie Diamonds TV interview with Marquis was 10xs better than this one, and I suggest everybody check it out. This one with Vlad kinda got Marquis looking docile and soft.
That's the interview I produced and Marquis listened to my suggestions on how to conduct himself. This is the outcome when the artist thinks they know more than their manager.

Lil Joe has that catalog
You can tell it’s bittersweet for him to talk about this, he loves hearing of Luke’s troubles but he was cheated out so much that it can’t fix it
We are attempting to fix it.
Luke robbed them boys...same for H-Town
Long as a woman ass is tighter than frog ass. People from mecca will vote Democrat
Luke thought he was David Ruffin. I can picture him backstage now - Ain't nobody coming to see the 2 Live Crew!😂😂😂
