They were 17 and it was 1987

I hate to sound cold but I mean what leverage do they have to expect a deal in their favor? Especially with all of the uncleared samples they have. They've had 30 years to make something shake.:yeshrug:

If anything, they should be happy the label is even coming with a deal because the label is the one losing money in this particular situation because at least De La can tour to make money off those records.

Well I mean, they only have to wait 5 years to get 3 feet high and rising back right?

that will be 35 years for the masters

edit 7 years lol .... 3 feet high came out in 89

(91) Delasoul is dead---- 9 years left

(93) Buhloneemindstate ---- 11 years left


That makes them 60 when they start owning the original tapes again

Gotta just look at it as a retirement party, the controversy and streams will be a nice gift for them in 10 years when they really reissue shyt.
