Recently, I started watching the Cory Gunz show which is a show exposing the journey he takes to get in the music business. Cory Gunz a rapper from New York recently signed with Young Money has cameras follow him as he does his day-to-day routines from the studio to the office. Many times, when I tune in I often see a dispute between Cory Gunz lawyer, his manager and his father.
The issue normally is over management since all three parties feel they have some sort of a manager role to the rapper. I use the show as a learning tool because it gives real life experiences. For one, it seems to be a conflict of interest with his lawyer who also takes on the role of the “manager,” when he is in charge of Cory Gunz legal matters and his issues an artist. Nick Cannon an actor and entertainment executive takes Cory Gunz under his wing and plays the role of his manager. Cory Gunz father, a former rapper by the name of Peter Gunz also takes on the role of manager for Cory. So you can see where the situation gets sticky. For a young manager like myself the show gives me good advice about how to handle certain situations.
Ultimately the goal for the manager is to handle all business aspects allowing the artist to focus on their craft. The Cory Gunz show gives a behind the scene access and displays the complexity of being in the entertainment industry whether an artist or manager. The fun does not began because you are signed to a label but it begins when every on your team knows their role. MTV.com says,“ The show is an exclusive look at the process needed to be success in the entertainment industry.”
