Trinidad James Plan To Turn Love-Hate Into Hip-Hop Gold

The combination captivated viewers who pushed the Youtube clip to nearly 3 million views and fueled sharp reactions to his flamboyant style of dress (think: Rick James as a gold-plated rapper) and crude, catchy lyrics. But the video graduated from the internet to MTV Jams, which helped to catapult the rapper into the realm of boardroom deals.
