Management Changes and Updates in the World of Hip Hop


Being a manager for a rap star is undoubtedly one of the sicker jobs you can have in life. Your job is to tell a artist what and what not to do, and you typically own about 10% of their talent because of it. Don't forget all the parties you get to slip into and beautiful people you meet along the way. 

Looks like Christain and Kelly Clancy wont be enjoying those luxuries anymore, as Frank Ocean made the surprising move to fire them earlier this week. The Clancy clan were deemed years ago as the de facto god parents of the hip hop collective Odd Future; Ocean's former group. How the couple was able to put themselves in such a comfortable position with such a trusting title is unknown, but the pair has definitely been caught slipping. The Clancy's were set up to make a lot of money later this year as the Channel Orange singer's new album is expected to drop before years end. Maybe it is a testament to the fact that Ocean is not as close with the OF group as he use to be, spending more time in the studio independently these days.

The Clancy couple were not the only people in Ocean's music life that were kicked to the curb this week. Ocean also dropped his public relations firm (Odd Future's PR team as well). Looks like Ocean is looking to clean house and I'm just about ready to email him my resume.
