Revenge of the Baggage Handlers

Once upon a time hype men were happy to play the behind the scenes role and allow their itty bit of fame, and teeny ounce of fortune to rise and fall with the "boss" they serve.

No more.

Now'days in hip hop every entourage member is working on not just a record deal but his own set of endorsements.

And in R&B every songwriter is secretly hording the best lyrics for their own debut albums.

Peep songwriter ternt frontman The-Dream, and crew member ternt headliner Jim Jones. They say once you're lucky, and twice you're good, but I'll add that if you're on your fourth album like Jimmy, and you're putting on other artists like The-Dream, then looky there - you have a career!
