Wiz isn’t on a 360 because of him going to a label after kush and orange juice

...come on let's picture the possibility...
*waits for that one old b!tch to come in and post an article that he aint write while acting like some industry insider. blah blah blah dikk morris, morris levy blah blah blah.*
He was on Warner which owns Atlantic before K&OJ when he dropped Say Yeah and those records around Prince of the city 2 days.
Then all of a sudden he's done with Warner drops K&OJ and exactly a year after parting ways he "signs" with Atlantic.
Idk breh, he might've been transferred or dropped; but I doubt those majors just drop people like that without giving them a shot. But who knows, I'm not speaking facts just guessing based on him going from a parent to a wholly-owned subsidiary in a year. Hopefully he has a great deal, cause dude was doing 100 shows a year several years in a row
To be fair, the 'altape' concept, pioneered most famously by Weak Mill, also benefits artists. So if you're about to release an album that you've been advertising for years, and no one gives a fukk, you can just call it a mixtape at the last minute and make it seem like it was a boss move 
Isn't Nip signed to Atlantic? and he talking about being a boss

nikkas so dumb you don’t get rich off the music it’s just a platform for other ventures. These nikkas should be selling drums or software or sum shyt instead of cryin all the damn time. This is a hustlers industry.

Forgot Warner was a parent company to Atlantic but he got a release from what I remember and dropped like 4 tapes in 2 years to gulf that buzz. Maybe he got transferred but if he didn’t the labels are eating good off him. Show money plus licensing would easily make Wiz contract back double.He was on Warner which owns Atlantic before K&OJ when he dropped Say Yeah and those records around Prince of the city 2 days.

woooooow
Not only is this Ferg's best song by far, it's the song that gave dude a career.
In fact, I'll go a step further - this is easily the craziest club record I've heard in several years. When that shyt comes on, it's fukking pandemonium
edit: the owners of the sample got 50% of publishing right off the bat? fukk.... how do we champion hip hop millionaires like Hov/Diddy etc and they can't fix this basic fukking problem? How are we still allowing cacs (usually) to rape us for samples?

You can do whatever you want when you own something
Probably expected to eat off the residuals not even realizing that they'll be collecting pennies compared to just selling the beat and licensing to the artist/label
Be a hip hop producer brehs
ID Labs are dope as fukk. A rich sound thats commercial without being overt, and always very well mixed
Surprised these guys aint got more placements...but he kinda expands on that here
