I'm thinking of posting this, even though it's not really my fight.
I understand the Oz Hip Hop scene is fiercely defensive of itself, but you (Heywood Industries) are just flat out wrong here.
In your story you call it "Our original idea", yet when attacked (for what is admittedly a pretty subjective account) you divorce yourself from it, saying "Like I said, it wasn't my idea".
It's you who blew this "all out of proportion" by stating in the story "Our original idea was to have the guy standing dress in an oversized, baby-blue velour track suit - to lighten the mood a little - but he refused as he was "serious" about what he did and our little idea was definitely not the sort of shenanigans your serious rapper-about-town gets up to." Then, again when attacked, you change your story AGAIN, saying "At most, the tracksuit conversation lasted all of about five minutes. The idea was suggested, he didn't want to do it, that was the end of that particular discussion."
Finally, you explain away your bitchiness (referring to everything as 'little', questioning their validity as rappers with quotation marks, implying that the event didn't deserve the exposure you were giving it) as "sarcasm", in a bid "to up the entertainment factor." But it's not entertaining/ enlightening/ funny? If you had merely stated the facts - said you were pissed off with the shoot, that you didn't get the shot you were after etc - or at least admitted that you were perhaps being a tad harsh, you possibly wouldn't have gotten all this negative attention. As it stands, you come off looking like the bad guy.

AWESOME.
DO IT.
How ridiculous is the photographer. So much backtracking/lying!
Done. God, maybe I also should be a lawyer?
I would agree, but there's a typo. Lawyers never do typos.*
Lunch meetign was cancelled, if you're down for today lunch, BTW.
I'm going to watch your footage soon. Just a little too "bosses are around" at the moment.
You comment is fucking great.
* = after writing 'entertaining/', there is a space where no space should be.
I pretty much got him to admit he was wrong. Is this what your job is like everyday?
Everyday. You should be a lawyer (or a chef?)
