Complaint Review: Unified Tribe - Nationwide

I would just like to clarify what the Unified Tribe is all about. They are actually a cult, not some group that has actually made it that has groupies. On the contrary they have not made it for 30 years, they honestly do brainswash people into their schemes and take everything they can from them. Money being a big part of it. Any female that has been a part of the group has been convinced to sleep with him whether she is with one of the other guys or not. Along with hours of his dogma and mind games. He tries to then convince everyone that he is some kind of diety come to earth and save it. Trust me the crap that would come out of his mouth was sickening. One of the things he would tell us girls after much brainwashing was that his semen had some kind of extra spiritually advancing component to it and that if we were to sleep with him we would spiritually advance. Yes it sucks that we feel for it and allowed him to rape us, all we want is to bring out the truth to stop others being hurt the same way. If you don't understand how cults work look it up because it is a totally different set of circumstances and takes alot of healing to get past. Please do not allow yourselves to think that anyone that gets involved with a cult is weak or troubled on the contrary all of us who were in this group were very educated, well rounded, good people. Anyone can get conned by a cult. Magic Mendez and his wife Starr Mendez are very brilliant and charismatic. They are very good at setting up an amazing illusion. Don't get caught in it no matter how shiny their music or website is, it is all a conn. Magic is very dark and sick, please don't fall for his or their games. Thank you, Concerned

You didn't have a contract --something on paper? I head this guy sing and read his profile on the group's site and HE IS ALL ABOUT HIM! He's one of those guys --where FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION YOU HAD BETTER HAVE YOUR PEOPLE CONTACT HIS PEOPLE! If you don''t have any people to watch out for your interests you will get ripped off by anybody and everybody in the music business. Remember what happened to those rappers who were shot in Vegas and the people who did it have never been found -- to my knowledge. Be careful. I had a hard time understanding the entire meaning of the original posting. You were referring to you felt raped artistically whe you did work for him and you either weren't paid or not paid enough. I would use it as a resume filler and move on. When people talk about paying your dues in the music business, I am a afraid that means paying a lot of your labor and art and not get what you are worth in exchance sometimes. I liked their music and their multicultural, inclusive approach when i went to their website and listened to them but as I learned a long time ago when I worked for a Tejano music promoter: JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY CAN PLAY GREAT MUSIC DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE AN HONEST AND STAND UP PERSON OR EVEN A NICE PERSON. JUST BECAUSE THEY PLAY MUSIC MEANS EXACTLY THAT AND NO MORE. THEY PLAY GREAT MUSIC, SELL TICKETS AND FILL VENUES. The day will come when those guys overdose on drugs, commit a heavy crime and get convicted like Phil Spector did ( He had a habit of carrying a gun because he ripped off so many people) and probablty end up in the slammer... They will get what is coming to them. Be nice to the people you meet on the way up because you will need them on your way down. You are on;y as good and marketable as yourl ast diamond-selling record, your last sold-out venue...

Also known as David ONeal. He is a scam artist that works through paypal to get money back to him that he pays you for doing video work for.

GUESS WHAT, IF YOU DON'T GET EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED WITH ENTERTAINERS, ESPECIALLY LEAD SINGERS, YOU WON'T GET USED AND DUMPED. WHEN YOU THROW YOURSELF AT THEM LIKE A GROUPIE AND THEN YOU GET USED, YOU CAN EXPECT TO EB DISCARDED... IT'S YOUR FAULT. IF YOU PUT IT OUT THERE, MOST GUYS WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE! I HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON!
