We witnessed a similar situation last year with the infamous Mic Terror tweetment , and now it looks like another Movement client has decided to hit the road. Earlier this evening, producer/DJ/artist Million $ Mano took to Facebook to air out his grievances against former managers Shala and Mo Billionaire, in a seven paragraph post. Yikes! Hey, it was all good just a week few years ago.
Hit the jump for the statement in its entirety.

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
fuck the movement.. send them wanna be comin to america niggas back to africa!!!!!!!
fuck the movement!!!!!!!! Send the wannabe coming to America ass niccas back to africa!
damn thats fucked up… hope Mano finds some good, professional management because he's hands down the best DJ in Chicago
Its so funny how Shala and Mo B walk around braggin like they on top of the world knowin the shit is fallin apart. Hey shit falls apart for everyone thats life. Admit you fucked up and do better. 2 lessons to be learned here
1. Artist make terrible managers
2.If it looks like some bullshit taste like some bullshit smell like some bullshit its some bullshit.
LMFAO HE CALLED DEM BOYS SOME FUCKTARDS!!!!
Wishin the best for Mano… all this hustler manager shit is whats killin chicago artists. need some professional backing for our artists
niggas tryin to claim they managers so that they can really be artists
^^^^ ouch!!
Real talk tho most managers be on that the difference is other managers get shit done…Best believe Hip-Hop and Gee are takin way more than 20% from Drake. Cudda Love takes 70% from new artist, but these managers are responsible for makin alot of money in the Hip-Hop game…The Movement ahhhhhh I would never sign wit them I would try them out on some non exclusive shit but i'd never sign unles they mad me like $10,000 in a quater lol
^^^ i don't think he signed
thats wack cause i've broke bread with mano and he's always been on point…
fake shore has become a back pack rappers site, so disappointed! so not chi
Is He Say/She Say really even a group they've had like 2 songs for the last 4 years. Do they even make appearances I've seen like two photo sessions, a live show here or there, and 2 songs that's it.
I miss when artists did less talking, video making, and promo pictures and did that thing that we want from them making music.
^^^the have a album thats not released due to legal bullshit with there old label. they didn't put any music out cause it was for a full length project that was suppose to release on a major.
it's pretty sad. "The Movement" web site is still filled with Mano, cool kids & Holt content as recent as Shows they did at SXSW.. Are they aware of whats going on?..lol
http://www.wedonotfollow.com/
what kinda fucking management is the movement anyway? who do they kno? what kinda connects do they have? none, all them niggas holt and mano met up with, they did on their own
i wish qualo still did music so we don't have to bare with "fashion whores with mics" in hiphop
managers make 15-26% off of everything that an artist makes not just stuff that they get you.
on the real.. this is some hoe ass shit.. bitches air shit out on facebook… if you got that much beef with them, go and whip that ass then.. otherwise shut the fuck up!

^^ haha… so true indeed
Black Balled…..!!! Danger! this is some F**d up news…Chi Street Journal…head lines we hate ppl. who think they can be good managers…when I read something like that on FB too that even my Guy SC posted. Look as Role players whatever you may be, as a leader & the go to guy. You must give the torch up when you can't take the team
any further. when that doesn't happen shit like this emerges. I've been there surpassed that problem to face another type of evil….
but P.s I think its some Dope kats the will be Hot Managers Like: #1 Dave Jeff,#2 Dj Sp1, #3 Pugsly Atoms,#4 Sheriff Williams,#5 Daniel Adams
the grouch, do you actually expect these type of new age chi rappers to do that style of handling of business [not that it's the mature thing to bussheads to handle business] but come on now folks, they'd never want to dirty up their dayglow air max's and mess up their gumbys
opinions are like assholes everyone has one!!!
Read your contracts b4 you sign or bring your own contract to the table. better to spend a little bit up front then be fleeced long term.
^^^^^ it said they tried to sign him i don't think they ever had paper work at least he was smart enough to do that "kanye shrug"
For any artist who is trying to get down in this industry First and foremost never sign with a manager if he's talking about a contract from the get go. A real manager will manage you on a trial baises for a year if he believes in your talent regardless! Your manager gotta believe in your vision and put up some dinero to create the product to get you as a creative artist out there to the public. Eventually the goal is to make $$ from your investment, anyone who's a huslter know this. Thats why you got these snakes trying to run the bizness side, its a art in itself. Chicago is filled with theses snakes trying to feed off the large talent thats another reason the Chi has yet to pop off.It's called bad bizness plain and simple worrying about 2500$. They should have been planning how to reinvest that 2500$ to make 25,000. Why not do good bizness and make endless$$$$$$ Some artist have the right mentality you know who you are, its these leeches trying to eat. Do it for the love of the art ! Don't do it for the intention to make $$$$$. Mano do your thing homie I heard your shit on sirius radio. YOUR NEXT. keep on getting it.
mano will have to ration his skinny jeans to recoup
Who cares….these dudes are played out…this would have mattered in 2007-08 when Mano and them niggas was runnin around like they shit didnt stink and they thought they were about to be the next big thing….shit got played out, hipster rap died….people stop checkin for them…now they wanna pull a Beanie Sigel and blame Jay Z, oops I meant The Movement. Same with Mic T. When everybody was in Urb and The Fader it was cool, now the phones stop ringing and niggas is pointing fingers.
#thecoolkidsplayeditsmart
^^^^ mano straight nigga believe that clown!!! dude stay getting booked what you doing??? commenting on his shit. why u concern with his moves anyways. i just saw him and nigel killing sxsw. he does high profile fash events and dj's for mia. what them nyc niggas say "don't watch me watch tv"
most niggas talking shit bout this nigga i'm sure don't know him and have never met him. i thought he would be a dick cause he was flashy etc… but when i met this nigga when he use to dj for shawnna this niga was madd cool while most dj niggas in the chi fronted when i met them. mano u came a long way and you stay progressing. people watch for you out here. niggas wanna see you fail and niggas wanna see u win. keep going hard mo.
ishala
Amazing, do ya research on managers from Chi that get it in around the world. John Monopoly, Shorty Capone, Don C, Clent Saulsbery, and E. These guys have proven track records and money to back it up. What the fuck is the Movement, no major placement. The above hold it down for such acts as Kanye, Cudi, Common, Diplomats, Slim da Mobster, Oj Juiceman, and LEP the hometown favorites.
Mano played out and his style is too. That whole hipster shit dead. Cool Kids don't even be on that goofy shit no more. Mano grow yo fat ass up nigga and get over. If you making real moves then why you getting so fucking salty and airing shit out on FB. If they really fucked you over go whoop they head. Yo gay ass writing 4 page letters on FB like Aaliyah. Chicago full of some feminine ass guys. Thats why even though LEP aint the most Lyrical niggas out there I support em because they one of the few thats not on that skinny jeans/bright color wearing gay shit these other Chicago niggas on. Straight up
^ i agree with the whole grow up shit. this nigga actin like a bitch snobby as shit, with his flamin cousin hollywood out there tryna act like they some kids wylin out. theres a difference between puttin on a crazy show and actin like a fool with a mic on stage. grow up and get ur shit together instead of talking shit on facebook. like dude said even the cool kids off that, yea they wear the skinnys and shit(which i dont even have a problem with) but they started toneing shit down and makin more mature soundin music. lesson is take notes on how to present yourselves and maybe u could atract better management
oh and yea im tired of these fashion niggas tryna rap and shit. theres a difference between niggas who rap and dress dope and niggas who rap just to talk about they scarves and shit
fakeshore drive is full of fags with with something to say. you guys are gay why even entertain this get back to the fucking music.
^you sir just contradicted yourself
Lol,that was classic!
One of the many reasons I come here..seriously
smh laughing
these comments are pure comedy. to be fair how the hell is this guy being like beanie sigel? he's not asking for anything from them and or trying to still do business with them. he actually is disassociating himself from them completely cause he knew he was dealing with some unofficial niggas. i respect this dudes efforts fuck these nickel and dime businessmen. go harder than you did and you will be straight. and truth be told i've herd nothing but bad things about the movement.
MY HIGH TOP FADE IS IN DISARRAY OVER THIS
If Movement is so bad why did Mano stick around with them so long (5+ years) WITHOUT A CONTRACT??? I be damned if I'm gonna be paying niggas 20% for shit when I feel they ain't doing nothing AND I don't have a contract to MAKE ME DO IT. Better yet, if Mano's dope, why would he be getting paid less than $500 a gig anyways??? C'mon Chicago, this shit don't add up…
^^^^ hey dumbass if u where in the biz you'd know u dont get paid nearly as much in your city as u do out of town. its called being tangible but your probably a consumer with an opinion so it dosent matter much. and maybe the nigga stuck it out cause he's loyal wtf nigga its in the note he wrote. you mus be real dumb or very stupid
^^^i've been djing for 10 yrs and dude is right. besides movement use to try to manage me and my guy but we got wise early
well good thing mano didn't sign a contract. he better off getting shit cracking himself.
Shoot the first hipster thats from the southside and scared to go back… Mano we cant wait for you to get with a management co. thats dope so you can finally eat…and we gunn rob yo bitch ass!!!
^^^^ fake shore gives all fags like this a milk crate to stand on and holler with a bullhorn. robb?? nigga please your on a computer get of that man dick. and just incase you forgot thise nigga already eating so rob him now dumbass. i live in jersey and im from the southside of the chi. ain't nothing to prove the southside is wack to live in. i'd never go back
The All Seeing…
You sold your SOUL "Mano" for the following: fame, money, jewelry, moped bikes & clothes. You condemned yourself to limitation and slavery and now you ask your oppressor for liberation. You are them as they are you, you can not escape yourself. Keep it real, you are phony and they are phony too; this why you all(Mano, Mo & Shala) connected in the first place! You "knew" they were snakes but you ate the rotten apple. In conclusion, be you & don't change for anyone but you!
-Peace
^^^^ this si the dumbest shit i've seen on here lol why is this shit even posted about him??? its not even music its just dumb gossip
I’m not at all interested in contributing to the hate; my words are actually for Shala & Mo…
I cannot believe that this happened again. This whole situation further proves my point that you all are doing business with the wrong people here. You all are just not in the same game. How can you let your integrity be questioned like this?
Look, I know it takes something for people to believe in people and I know (like many people do) that you both truly believe in EVERYONE you deal with. You both put your heart, your soul, your life and EVERYTHING on the line for what you believe in- Guess what, not many people are willing to live their life this way. I love you for it and admire you for the courage it takes to do that…
But I will say, with that comes a responsibility to yourself. You are responsible for having the courage to walk away when the time is right. I know you know what I’m talking about cause I see you do this in other situations. I’m not sure what happened here but you know things happen for a reason. As long as you stay true to yourself, all will align itself around you.
Love
regardless what niggas think the movement is a joke and always has been. to answer your question with mano they didn't remove themselves cause he was making them money and they are "money hungry" don't believe there hype. mic t, hollywood and mano are self sufficient. mo or shala didn't contribute to any of there goals. i know cause i use to intern with these fugaz niggas and please believe it was a shitty waste of time.
Hey, you're all ass holes. All of you. I tried to be nice to ya'll-
Bunch of FAKE M.F.s…
This is a bunch of hot garbage, like you all have reached a level of relevancy that any of this matters.
You are all just followers…
Why did you all sign with them? I thought these dudes where fake since Lane, before Big Wig. Couldn't you see what they are about? No, because ya'll are on it too. Remember me? FROM HOLLYWOOD? OR TEN 56? Or the Note or Pontiac? Or innjoy? Or even EMPIRE? Of course not… You all just tried to jump on a trend, yet you still did everything the guys before you did, instead of skate boards; mopeds… etc. Played your selves. Now your boys have a fake ass art gallery and no of ya'll are signed or producing substantial music anyhow. You're all hype based on hipster girls and the remnants Old Wicker Parks Hip Hop hype.
