This is sooo cool....check it out...link (http://www.vanessacarlton.com/BBOARD/forumname/viewtopic.asp?TopicID=1587678&topic=Vanessa)
Hey everyone. This is Irv Gotti. The president of The Inc Records (formerly Murder Inc Records) home of Ja Rule, Ashanti, my young R&B singer Lloyd and now Vanessa Carlton. This is the 1st time I have ever posted a message or anything like that on a website. I did not even tell V I was gonna do this. I wanted to surprise her. Hahahahahaha. But I wanted to because I believe this is the site that really broke the story of me and V teaming up. I believe V posted something on here letting you guys know she signed with me. So I decided to let my V family here something from me, since I don't know how much you may know about me or my company. I just want everyone to know that I believe V is 1 of the most talented singer/songwriters I have ever met in my life. And I can assure everyone here. Her album sounds incredible and for the 1st time in my professional career. I am totally trusting my artist to deliver her vision. I am gonna be the CO Pilot on this one. And I am usually a Dictator with my acts. Thats how much I believe in our V. If your wondering how me and V came together, stay tuned to MTV. I think they will be doing a news piece on us shortly. Because basically everyone is pretty much interested in how we came together. Which is a beautiful thing. You want everyone wanting to know about whats going on with V. I will say this. And I am not an over the top religious person. But GOD brought us together. :) Funny thing also is after she completely blew me away with her singing and playing that Piano in Doug Morris's office. I went to my top A&R person in the world. The one I talk to the most about artist, to see if there HOT or not. My 14 year old daughter Angie. hahahahaha. Who told me V was off the chain. And knew all her music and was saying, daddy you have to sign her. hahahah. Well bye for now. I just wanted to let you guys know. I am just like you in believing in V. She totally has me caught in her MAGIC! And I will be doing everything humanly possibly to make the world see exactly what we see. That V is the SHITTTTTTTTTT! Talk to you guys again soon. Love Irv
and then Nessa confirming its him...link (http://www.vanessacarlton.com/BBOARD/forumname/viewtopic.asp?TopicID=1587681&topic=that+is+really+irv%21%21%21%21)
the post from irv gotti inc is the real thing!! he didn't tell me he was gonna do this. just want u guys 2 know, that is an authentic post. i'm such a lucky chick 2 have someone like irv. what kind of label head takes the time 2 post on an artist's website. awwwww
v
-
I thought it was really nice of him... and reassuring to know that vanessa is not going to have her music suffer any interference.
-
^^^ for real.... seems like everythings going good :D
-
He has terrible grammar!! :?
-
yeah that was really nice.
things are looking good. 8)
-
that's SO awesome! I'm even more excited about this album now. I like how IRV calls her music magic. Just finished watching that David Blaine episode of South Park...
-
Sweet! Thanks for posting the news.... I am so excited!!! :) :D :D
-
If they can throw the same kind of weight promotion-wise behind V that they did for Ashanti and Ja Rule, I don't think she has too much to worry about. It is kind of cool that Irv posted though, lol.
-
It's a statement that he even posted. Anyone at A&M, or even Ron Fair, ever post? Nope.
As I've said before, it's in his interesest to blow up VC. After he proves he can make it happen, he can sign anyone and make more money than God with anyone.
I think VC caught a wave. Any A&R person that heard "Private Radio" and didn't hear Massive Radio Hit deserves to be wherever he is(probably selling used cars).
Betcha Irv was all over that track and wondered "wtf is A&M doing?"
Dan/NS
-
Definitely agreed Dan.
Sadly, as much as I don't like Ja Rule and how he was shoved down the throat of anyone who even thought about the television/radio back in the early 2000's (although my stance on this has softened over the years, lol), I have a lot of faith in Irv as a producer and promoter.
I am glad to hear he isn't going to meddle too much with Vanessa's music, and I think the fact this is Irv's chance to get his name back in the game bodes well for V because that is all the more reason for them to put a lot of money behind her. Re-selling her to radio will be the most difficult part, and that is where good promotion will definitely come in handy. From the way they pimped Ja, Ashanti, and even Lloyd, I'm not worried.
-
It sounds relly cool. It seems that he does not want to change Nessa and just wantt to yupport her MAGIC. Sounds cool. my doubts in the new Album went away. i'm so lucky that everything seems to go well
-
He has terrible grammar!! :?
rotf, exactly what i was thinking.
but GO V :D
-
That's fantastic, I'm mega impressed that he's taken the time to sign up and reassure the fans, that's not something you see every day.
However... If the British media latch onto the fact he's calling Nessa 'the sh*t' folks won't be buying the album, but I'm guessing that's new American for 'very good'? haha
-
I have alot of respect for Irv now, that just wows me. I trust she is in really good hands now, a huge wave of relief just came over me...

Lol, "the shit" has been used for years. Us British folk know what it mean ;)

Irv left other 6 posts there, I'm impressed that he came back to the forum.

Irv Gotti
It is me. ask me anything you want that only i should know. and i will answer it. but i see V has seen my post and verified its me. It makes perfect sense for me to be apart of V's fanclub. :)

skeptical
understand any of V's fans being cautious of our bond. but i can assure you that our bond comes from the most honest place in the world. our love of MUSIC. I know how dope V is. and how dope Stephan is as a producer. I'm just gonna try and scream and shout it to the world and make everyone understand how much she is the shitttt!
posted: 10/29/2006 03:56
thanx
thanx man. i will be on here alot. the fun thing about this is its all new for me. V is my 1st act outside of my hip hop and r&b culture. so i feel refreshed and energize being around her. 07 is gonna be quite a year. me and V have a strategy already on what we are gonna do. with hopefully the result being V as one of the biggest singer/songwriters of our time. i don't think the world has seen what we are about to bring to the table.

life
You know sometimes you go through things in life that make you re think things. and you slowly figure out this thing called LIFE. if you know anything about what i been through. then just know. it was a life changing experience for a kid who only wants to entertain people with music (and maybe some films). the reason why i say that GOD brought me and V together is because V has also been through quite a road. and it seems like we came into each others lives when we both kinda needed each other. GOD has blessed me with V. i have no choice but to do everything in my power to make GOD proud. hahahahaha.

GreatI have read every single reply. And i wanna say thank you to all of Team V out there for accepting me with open arms. i love it. i feel like a teenager apart of a special club. hahahaha. and i will definitely be checking in on this site and, with V's permission, giving you guys all the early details of whats about to happen. so you guys can know early. So thanx again to all my Heroes and Thieves!!!! Hint Hint. hahahahaha.
MayTagV can have whatever she wants. She already uses my MayTag whenever she wants. Its funny tho. because i roll the windows down and blast Ordinary Day (which i believe is arguable one of the hottest songs she has ever made. the way she is flowing and singing on that. and the words. are all very special to me) and sing it at the top of my lungs. People in the hip hop world look inside and be like hey thats Irv Gotti. and then there like what the hell is he blasting in his Maybach. and i say thats Vanessa Carlton. she is the SHIZZZZNNNIIITTTT! funny thing is alot of people from my culture already know and love V. its weird to me sometimes. its mostly from A Thousand Miles. When we went to London to go hang out with Jay Z. i know she was a lil shocked with all the "Thuggish" type guys that me and Jay know saying how they love her music. hahahahaha. (by the way, there was another lil hint of things potentially to come with V in this message. I'm having fun with my new family. hahahahha.
chainalso. everyone look at the picture of me in the MayTag again. look at my medallion i'm wearing. does anyone see what i had specially made. it is another HUGE reason why i think GOD brought me and V (hint hint) together. look at it closely and see what it is. then i will explain. Irv
-
Wow.. I think Irv's appearance will really invigorate the o-board. This must be step 1 of "the plan". I'm looking forward to 2007!

wow!
do you think the new album will be called Heroes and Thieves? or maybe just the name of a song ?
-
Wow... Irv is really doing a good job for Vanessa (or V) cuz she's the "SHIZZZNITT" as he calls her. I'm just so happy that FINALLY someone truly appreciates Vanessa's music. :)
And I'm prettty sure that Heroes and Thieves have some relevance to Vanessa's album...
And yes, that chain is off the hook. :)

I was thinking street team maybe... although that would be a weird name for a street team.

can someone explain where the name "Heroes and Thieves" came from?
I think I'm missing something... :?
edit:
I found the article, but i still cant find a post where Irv mentions it :/ I must be blind, lol
-
It could be another stab at the music industry, like the unicorns and vampires: heros and thieves. Idk, just guessing.

hey guys!
I sent Irv a Private Message on the o-board.
and asked him to come pay us a visit!
hopefully he'll come here and post a little.
...Hey, it worked when I asked Nate Morton to post... :lol:
so you never know, it was worth a try. :wink:

this reassures me more than anything else, because he's supportive of stephan and vanessa being in charge, which automatically makes him okay in my book. and the other thing is, that's what the label's supposed to do.. promote. in my perfect world, the label wouldn't have any say on what music the artist puts out.. they just support the artist and their art. but this sounds good to me.
is it just me though? or has vanessa's grammar gone down the shitter since this irv thing...
-
I think Heroes and Thives is such a cool album title...im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo esxcited :D!
-

:lol: it's not just you lol I've noticed it too. And I'm assuming the general grammar here and at the o'board will go down too lol

This is sooooo insane! I am so glad that someone like Irv is really embracing V in a passionate way, 07 is going to be the year that V makes a comeback, there is no doubt about that, it is so reassuring, I got a message from Cavin talking about Heroes and Theives being the new album title! And I also heard that she just played a new song at that exclusive concert thing! He said Ivy Lynn called him during the show to tell him! Sooo who knows, ughhhhh!!! I can't wait til Spring, I wanna hear the new album now!!! :cry:

I need more details!

irv also posted on the murderinc-online board. he was really nice to respond to the fans request to post there to.
Its your boy Irv Gotti. I have been posting stuff on my new artist Vanessa "V" Carltons site. And i just seen that someone posted that i should post on here since i am posting on there. i felt that. but i feel you guys on here know me already. and the people on V's site need to get to know me. but i kind of like interacting with the people. I'm feeling it. so i will be on here from time to time to see what my people are saying and thinking. i gotta be honest. yall say some pretty funny shhiiittt. NO. i am not fuuuccckkiiing V. i have a great relationship with her boyfriend stephan jenkins of the group Third Eye Blind. me and V have gotten extremely close in a short time tho. so i could easily see why people may think that. but its not the case. she is my bfff. hahahahaha. as far as Murder Inc goes. 07 is looking like its gonna be a HUGE year for us. The young lion Lloyd "Ladi" is really getting things going. his YOU record with Lil Wayne is starting to explode at radio. feels great. as far as my brother Ja Rule goes. Yall all should know i would give my life for him. so as far as his project goes. you should know we coming. and yes. The Game and Murder Inc is like that now. me and rule speak to Game all the time. and you will be hearing some crazy songs with Rule and Game. I also have alot of new artist coming. 7, who is arguably the most talented person i have ever been around, is making a jump into being an artist. he is with Murder Inc. and his album is incredible. Imagine Prince if he fuuccckkked with Hip Hop. thats the best way to explain 7. i seen a post that chink santana is not with the INC anymore. yall make me laugh when yall run with the bullssshhit. Chink Santana and Murder Inc. is forever. feel me. what i have with my family is deep. and its rare in this fuucckkedd up biz. He has a label called Black Flag. that i am fully behind. and yes he co exec. jim jones album. my nigguz talents run deep. so hopefully it clears up a few things. i will end with this. after i got acquitted and didn't have to do that 20 years. it changed my life. i became more spiritual and believing in GOD. but yet i'm still Thugging it til the casket drops. my nigguz call me the Spiritual Thug now. hahahaha. but i just feel an obligation to make everyone whoever believed in me. to make them proud. i am way more of a people person now. cause 12 juror members that i didn't know. seen the good in me when the government was saying i was the head of a criminal empire with my brother for life SUPREME! and they acquitted me. so i owe them and every person out there a service to do them proud. i guess thats why i am on this sites now. i guess i am really FOR THE PEOPLE NOW! Ride wit ME! its real. Irv Gotti
p.s. i am very busy so do not get mad at me if i'm not on here as much as you guys may like. I'm trying to make history and change the way people think and feel. but i will be on here.

It is really cool that Irv is getting around and responding to the peeps like that. The more I see Irv respond to the fans and give us more info, the more I get excited for this whole process coming up.

yep me too

I have to say, I'm super excited that Vanessa has some awesome backing for her now. I was a little tentative when I first started reading that Vanessa was pairing with Irv, but the more I hear the more I think and hope that this will be something truly great for her. Time will tell, certainly... but with this much support and energy behind her, I have very good feelings about this!

I hate murder inc and ashanti and ja rule
I don't get it
I just hope that V finally gets the recognition that she deserves
too bad it takes all of this to 'make it' in the industry
just let the woman play

Irv seems to be backing V fully AND embracing her music.... I don't think that's bad at all... I think V likes what is happening... and Irv has done a few good things for us NESSAholics already so I don't understand why you would say that you hate murder inc...

Umm...Irv has already stated that he trusts Vanessa's video FULLY. She'll be doing what she's done the last two albums.

he posted again at the MIO board:
Ok. So I am reading all the posts. 1st. Thanx for all the love my people. I'm gonna clear the air again. But please understand i can't keep coming on here to clear the air. some of you guys lil bull i'm just gonna have to let yall run with.

2. Caddillac Tah is still signed to The INC.
3. Blackchild is still signed to The INC.
4. Yes. I do have a reality show on VH1. The producers of the very successful Flavor of Love Show (Cris Abrego), contacted me and wanted to do a show based on my return to the Top of the Game! They also was intrigued by my Family Life. And it was kind of a misquote when they released there press release. I am not really married anymore. But me and debb are the best friends in the world. which was very interesting to them. So get ready to see me a whole lot more on TV. Hope you guys enjoy my crazy life. hahahahah. Runs House is like the Cosby Show. they are saying after my pilot. that my show is like The Sopranos. hahahaha. we'll see.
Just because I didn't mention them doesn't mean anything. I probably was just tired of typing. hahahaha. i see i have to watch everything i say around you guys. yall look into everything so deep. hahahah. when its not that serious. Hopefully i didn't forget anything. well back to my grind. will catch up with my fam soon tho. i love yall energy tho. it has me energized. Its Murda 4 Life! Believe In It! and for any of the doubters out there. it is really me. Irv "Gotti" Lorenzo. not a 12 year old kid. lol
