Fair or Foul: Artists Must Agree To Never Slander Puff Again To Get Publishing According to NDA Given Out

[maxamusa]

nikkaS DONT EVEN KNOW WTF PUBLISHING IS.

THEYRE WRITING ROYALTIES
THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH A RECORD CONTRACT.

IN 2023...
IF I DO A FEATURE ON ANOTHER
ARTISTS SONG OR
GHOST WRITE A SONG FOR SOMEBODY
PUFF IS GONNA GET ALL OF
MY ROYALTIES FROM THOSE SONGS
EVEN THOUGH I HAVENT BEEN
SIGNED TO HIM IN 20 YRS.

HE DID SOME PREDATORY shyt
ON THESE KIDS AND BOUGHT
THEIR PUBLISHING FOR CRUMBS
WHEN THEY WERE STARVING,
NOT KNOWING WTF PUBLISHING WAS.

LABEL EXECS BUYING THEIR
ARTISTS PUBLISHING IS NOT
COMMON AT ALL.

PUFFY IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF EVIL.

you ever read any of the wu-tang autobiographies? RZA and divine got their brehs good deals....set them up.....and there was ZERO appreciation. he could have hoed them filthy. What did he get in return? 2 decades later they still slandering the abbot.

[EastsideRio]

[Silver Surfer]

Is this some type of justification for the demonic actions of Diddy?

Makes sense. He’s not even as close to any of those people Wu is to RZA

What being closed to them has to do with any of this?

You should snake people because they ain't close to you?

Don't worry if Write Rhymes I Write Checks

 

[BaRRyG]

Nikkas need lawyers on deck dealing with any music exec. Can't leave shyt to chance.

He’s willfully, on his own accord, giving away the rights to muisc publishing that these people willfully signed away

And because there are basic stipulations he js a snake?

Puffy might be a snake but that us not the reason

there was just a thread on Styles talking about Sony still paying Puff for his verse on BMF and he cant get in contact with anyone to straighten it out

I don't understand how people dont see how foul/frustrating that shyt is

He's a snake for taking their publishing and giving them back an empty shell and trying to be praised for it.

Why is it an empty shell

That’s how a sizable portion of the industry operates, they didn’t have to sign

A sizeable (what size exactly?) portion of the industry operating that does not stop it from being predatory.
The comment above is saying that it's not a common practice.

makes you wonder what type of crazy deals other 90s rap labels forced onto their artists. I'd have to think those No Limit/Cash Money publishing contracts were absolutely terrible. Can't imagine Rap A Lot being much better either?
