HOW-TO GUIDE ON HATERS

HANDLE HATERS, RUMORS, AND IDIOTS

Over the years, as with any other record label anywhere in the world, Scrub Club has had changes in artists and crew members and constantly face criticism from both people who understand music and complete dumbasses who know nothing about the struggle.

The hard fact is that the second you start making music, you enter a life filled with backstabbers and fake people wanting to be down to get part of the fame. Friends and family can turn into your worst enemy over jealousy, money, and power... And when things don't work between members of any label and someone departs from a group, stories are rarely ever told truthfully by that person. Keep in mind that people HAVE been kicked off or have left our label, just like any other record company. Of course, some of these people might be pissed because they no longer have us to call as their family. Anyone removed from the label was done so for hurting our business, and anyone who has left did so because they could not get along with certain other members.

You more than likely will come across or hear about these previous members. Not all of them are haters, but should you come across one and they try to turn you against us or spread rumors... always remember: If they can't prove their point to you with any sort of real evidence, that bullshit ain't true. Any future projects or plans Scrub Club has does not include these people, they are not participating in Scrub Club anymore, so their opinions and rants should not concern you. Move on and spread the love to people without hate in their heart.

The final truth is that all businesses have disagreements, all families have fights. What you need to remember is that while these people are not on the label and are sour, the label is still here. And there's a reason for that... Scrub Club Records never changes. Some members may come and go, but don't be disheartened. The label will always be here, standing for what we believe in, and always making fresh, new music for you.

You will also come across people that will claim they know us, are friends with us, or were with the label when they are completely lying and don't even know who we are. Bottom line? Look on the website under the profiles section. If they aren't on there, they are not a part of Scrub Club Records. It's sad, but honestly you can't trust anyone except yourself. Think things through in full before you act on them.

Other people you might come across can be real jealous of you just for being able to help us out. Some assholes make hate their hobby. They will be easy to spot. The second you start trying to tell them about Scrub Club, they will be in your face about how we apparently "rip off other artists," "make shitty music that sucks," or other scandalous accusations about certain members. Ignore them and move on to a more intelligent individual. Don't waste time trying to argue, as most haters have no brains whatsoever and will never give up their fantasy world they live in. If you haven't learned it yet, drama is ridiculous, it only gets worse if it continues, and only wastes time.

So if drama heads your way either from haters, stupid critics, or previous members of the label that are jilted... Be a real man or woman and walk away from the situation and just keep spreading the message instead.

FINAL NOTE

"Don't ever let another hater go and get you down... The fact is they're jealous of the shine on your crown... 'Cause you're the Kings and Queens of my world, and as such... The truth is that I look up to you SO much." (From the Wookie and Hatter track "What Love?")

Much love and respect
