Drake's popularity right now is crazy

[Dominic Brehetto]

"They have given me one of the greatest situations in hip-hop," Drake, 22, said of his team.

Under the unusually lucrative agreement he struck with Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records distributed through Universal, Drake received a $2-million advance. He retains the publishing rights to his songs and cedes only around 25% of his music sales revenues to the label as a "distribution fee," his managers said. By contrast, the overwhelming majority of new artists sign financially restrictive "360 deals" that sap their touring and merchandise income and offer much more restrictive profit-sharing.

A dissection of how the rapper was able to drive such a hard bargain underscores an evolution in the music industry. At a time when CD sales have declined by 15% over last summer's numbers and major labels remain more fixated on scoring hit singles than sustaining artist rosters, managers such as those working with Drake have stepped into the void to become king-makers in urban music.

@ believing that bullshyt pr team dribble.


If his deal is so good why was he trying to have his contract terminated? You dont do that if you got an amazing deal.

If his contract is so bad how has he made $51 mill in the past 4 years?
Doesn't sound too bad for an artist that came up in the digital era.

Let me guess, bird man paid forbes off to make it appear that drake is making money

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Take care sold 2 million. Nothing was the same Sold 1.5. When his next album doesnt hit platinum drake stans will be ja rule stans. Non existant.

Forbes is WILDLY inaccurate bullshyt. Everybody knows that.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Its hilarious, not singling out drake stans, but stans of almost every rapper think their rapper is the exception to the rule who have an amazing deal and believe whatever nonsense they tell

 

[MiC]

Forbes is WILDLY inaccurate bullshyt. Everybody knows that.

So drake himself is lying, birdman lying, the contracts released to the public are lying, all the 3rd party sources (Forbes, celebrity net worth, the richest) which put drakes net worth at $40-50 million are lying....

But some loser blogger that hates drake is the only one who really knows how much money he makes

No point responding anymore Absolutely ridiculous to assume some nobody has more correct info than drake, bird man, forbes, and every other unbiased 3rd party source available

Yeah of course Drake is lying...what rapper doesn't lie about their wealth...

Of course Birdman is lying...this the same nikka who once said he owned an oil field

The contracts released to the public...are released by Birdman...

Like...I just don't get how people think Drake has some sort of great deal...He signed to a record label who is ran by a guy who is notoriously known for not paying artist...not paying producers...but all of a sudden he paying Drake? You got literally dozens of dudes who did any business with cash money and didn't get paid, but somehow Drake got this super good deal...

J Prince son is making money off Drake music just for "finding" him...just for giving dude a place to stay and taking him to strip clubs while he was in "houstonlantavegas" learning how to be black...

And that's not to say Drake is not making any money...cause he is...it's just that Birdman treats him like he treats Wayne...he just cuts a check for him, while never ever letting him know how much money his tours, albums, singles, really made

BIrdman just be like ....here's 10 million playboi do you...

Take Care came out in 2011, Nothing Was The Same came out less than a year ago. NWTS went Plat faster.

 

[sporticus]

Drake is the current master of 2014 media. He knows what to drop, how to drop, when to drop. He ain't gotta put out 2,000 mixtapes. He drops 2 tracks every 3 or 4 months, one for ladies, one for everybody else and lets these local rappers promote it for him with freestyles.

"I'll compromise if I have too, I gotta stay with the family"

lmao dudes out here worshipping this CAC. if drake skin was 2 shades darker the label jews wouldn't even let him exist.

Because simply, why wouldn't he have a great deal? He owned the market with no label. Why would he sign a slave deal? Use the logic.
