Scola had a music video out in i think 1996,i saw the video on BET he was a new face and a new artist to me,however he was a solo artist in b-more well known so they say,"i think the song was "lets get personal" the footage is on youtube,he does not look the same and i told people thats not him,i remember videos very well cuz i study music video directors,so when he joined dru hill,he was still a new face i didnt reconize from his 1996 video,him and Tony Kurtis shud be solo artist like use to be
What's all this fussing about? on the real i like Scola,However he's not an original member,the original members are SISQO NOKIO JAZZ AND WOODY,The only reason Scola is in the group is because Woody brought him to the group,WOOdy had left the group twice and came back and added scola,so unlike the lady doing this interview i was not looking for scola,1st time i saw scola was in the "I love you video" i said to myself who is this dude?where did he come from? why is he there? in 2002,nokio'sBeauty
dru hill is on a independent label kedar entertainment group,also keith sweat said nokio takes care of all the business dealings on their reality show "KEITH SWEAT'S PLATINUM HOUSE" and yes! SCOLA is correct again,when people feel you are a threat becauseof your knowledge they dont want you around,and yes! the business is shady,just like EM the rapper said "SHADY RECORDS" i call EM MC SHADY lol! my favorite RAPPER alive,each member in the group have their own story all is sad,but i luv DRU HILL.
lmao i like the way he said it's cheaper too pay some new and blah blah blah c'mon are u serious? I think nokio might be a bit of an egomaniac, but like other ppl have allready said of course he's gonna get paid more cuz he does more duhhh that's business! In any job where u get paid for your work 9 times out of ten, the person who does more and has more responsibility usually gets paid more. And if he knows the biz so well, how could he get kicked out the group so easily? Somethin looks fishy.
@brownone75 true Nokio is a producer and AR however you should get paid for your singing. Producers always get more. Even Woody said how come I am not getting paid for what I did. He is an original member of the group. They all should be millionaries because all 3 Dru Hill Albums went Platinum. Yes they should have let people know the competition was fixed. My boy told me it was and Scola was planned. This was before Scola did the i intinterveiw.
@brownone75 he got kicked out because he didnt sign the dru hill contract,and TONY KURTIS was played because someone said he was too old for the group,therefore he walked out,and i know people are laughing,cuz he fell for the game,its called "THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION" if that was a true rule,it wud be in writing,they gave TONY a VERBAL,VERBALS dont count,all legal documents and rules are in writing,an example is BET'S new FACES SEARCH,they put in writing the age limit on a FLYER.
Scola aint no angel, some of what he says may be true, but u gotta just take that at face value unless u have everyone's side of the story. U don't get kicked out of a group for no reason at all. He's a hypocrite cuz he 1 sec he said he would go back 2 the group then the next he said he didn't like what Nok was doing and all that. I think they all have their own issues, but whatever just give me the music. Sometimes knowing the reality of your fave singers really is not all its cracked up 2 be.
nokio makes more money than the rest of the group,he will always make more money than the rest of the group,cuz hes a writer,writers make more money than the artist singing their songs,an example is missy elliot,she wrote several songs for different recording artists,she is a high paid industry writer,also nokio raps,produces and sings,he made more money than sisqo,when sisqo was solo doing thong song album.
@Empha84 yessir! and nokio is A&R at atlantic records,and kevin liles is ceo at Atlantic and nokio alledge he wrotes about 4or 5 songs on album TREY DAY kevin liles use to be in charge of dru hill,at least that's what kevin told me in person,and he gave me his business card in 1996 the card had island def jam on it then island def jam merged with def jam records,scola didnt sign the dru hill contract cuz he felt it was shady,thats the real reason hes not in the group,no on can push a person out.
@Empha84 in addition the only way a person can be pushed out a group is if the ceo releases the artist thru written contract like P.diddy did with the members of DANITY KANE,if the ceo doesnt release the artist then the artist is bound to the contract until it expires or is renewed,also nokio produced alot of songs for other artist like rihianna,etc listen to video DRU HILL SING LATELY&RESPOND TO DEPARTURE OF WOODY,AND NOKIO explains who he wrote&produced for,YES! nokio takes care of all busines
@cloverfield00 I must be good looking because you are stalking me on Youtube. Lol I know Angie dropped him but still he got the drolls in the words of Tommy off of Martin. True CEO releases people but I think their some truth to what Scola is saying. Plus how come Nokio is the only on in Dru Hill with publishing? Sisqo of course has some of his off his solo project but still as a group why does Nokio have all the publishing. That is not right.
@Empha84 lol! lol! how can i stalk somebody i never seen before?and what is ur point with ur comment of what nokio got? thats not no accomplishment,why wud u brag about that when child support payments must be made?maybe they like nokio more then the others,since you claim u live in b more,why dont u just ask him once he comes thru or betta yet just ask scola,i dont live in b more if i did i wud have all the answers,however sisqo spends most of his time in ny,but i dont stalk people i'm too busy
@cloverfield00 I was kidding and I have no kids. If I did I would surely take care of them. I just love the fact you wrote a whole paragraph. Kudos to you
@Empha84 ha ha! i follow b-more dudes they funny and sexy,btw you can see me in movie "AND THEN CAME LOVE" see the trailor i'm dancing next to vanessa williams,see movie "AMERICAN GANGSTER" i'm in the courtroom scene,see move "the tick code" starring gregory hines,i'm in all black in the club scene watching geegory play the saxophone,see 'YO momma on MTV under kingtut823,i'm behind vince the the fat white dude,see video "WINE ROOTGAL WINE" by the ROOTDOCTOR ABE i'm the thick chick with the big?
@cloverfield00 Cool resume. I saw you briefly in the scenes. Keep up the good work. Wine video was cool too. You were in the black a white dress right?
@Empha84 See my "DRU WORLD ORDER" Shirt on FACEBOOK under "DRU HILL THE REAL FANS" "INDRUPENDENCE" and "DRU HILL OFFICIAL" "DRU HILL'S FANS Page,I recieved it for FREE! it was Free 99! Yessir! I am NOKIO'S original "BEAUTY" Allright now! Now log onto "BEAUTY REMIX" Ya heard me! Ya better believe it! Message!
scola wrote songs "my homie" and "no matter what" for woody's album,i read dru hill was dropped from their label,they are now signed to a new major label,nokio is a writer,producer,singer,and rapper,writers make more money than the artist,no matter who the artist is,an example is static major and missy elliot,they wrote songs for many artists in the industry,but made more money than the artist who sung their songs,i recieved a dru hill shirt,wit a dragon on the front,that back "i should be"
woody pushed scola out the group,scola didnt sign the dru hill contract,cuz he want his own money separate from the group,noone can push a person out of a group,if they signed a contract,whats written in the contract its whats due to the artist,and the group,point blank.
So that's what Nokio meant by "5 fucks the money up." LOL! It's much cheaper to add a whole new member than to give ol' boy what he deserve. I see! Hmmm...
@juan8777 true to any extent but Nokio should not be the only one with publishing. They all sung on those songs. They all should get equal cuts of publishing. That is jacked up.
wow! wow! wow! "no loyalty among them" wow! this is crazy. it just shows it pays to know your business and the business!!! im glad he knows the music business which kept him form being burned!! this makes u have a whole different out look on dru hill...a staged fight wow
That whole thing was ridiculously ignorant of them...Im kinda lost for words. Black folk dont know how to conduct business at all. Im a huge fan of them but this kinda soils the group.
for real, you can tell when someone is being fake or real. He seem real. I have always been a fan of Dru Hill, their my fav group of all time. However, thats grimy how they did that to Scola. I was watching the staged radio stunt and I'm thinking to myself where the hell is Scola? They didn't have to degrade themselves like that. Do your thing Scola, I wish you success as an Solo artist.
scola should help jodeci bring out their new album. I have respect for dru hill but that was dumb for the group to perform something like that. Not even jodeci would have to do that.
i do respect scola for speakin out even if i dont know the whole story at least he sayin sumthn im waitin to hear the othrs speak up cuz i am a tru fan of dru hill and i liked scola n the group but all the changes they makin isnt cool wit me and its gonna b hard to get used to but i wish scola good luck and i hope dru hill get they act togetha
He just Told all the business Dang
