How are Nicki & Drake getting Paid if Lil Wayne isn't?

[BK The Great]

i think Drake the only one who's really cashing in big. dude got endorsements with Jordan Brand, Sprite, Apple which are big corporations. Nicki might be doing fine too. she's got her liquor, Pop Music money and she's now acting did a few movies and starring in the new Barbershop movie. they might surpass Wayne if they keep their brands alive.

It's like y'all want and enjoy black people getting fukked over. Y'all are giddy everytime a potentially fukked up label situation is exposed. But claim to be pro black and for the survival and strength of hip hop. Baby, Puff and Suge were never the top bosses, it's always been white people and Jews. So if someone like Baby is getting over, ultimately it benefits the whites and Jews at the top. The culture vultures you all claim to hate. But as long as hip hop is littered with bad contracts and money situations there's going to be that scent of blood in the water that will attract the sharks (whites and Jews) and ultimately they will benefit the most. Passing down wealth to their people while you all laugh about Lil Wayne in here and complain about the results in TLR/The Root/elsewhere.

I remember on nikkas screaming Wayne ain't broke & birdman looking out for him now look.

It's funny these same folks claimed IYRTITL was Drake one upping Cash money & getting out of his contract. This same contract that is the best in the industry

So much truth

 

[Easy-E]

How are they getting paid, but Wayne's not. Aren't they signed under him?

Or is it they only get paid for advertisements but not music

You think Drake got a bunch of endorsements and signed to Apple and Nicki acting and selling lipstick just to diversify they bonds???

They prolly dont get much off music besides show money.

In this case Wayne deserves the blame... He had plenty of prior knowledge to have this avoided

So what? Baby shouldn't be actively fukking over his artists in the first place. Any situation where white people observe black people warring/fukking each other over they are going to swoop in, take advantage and take over. It's been happening for hundreds of years. This type of stuff makes interesting reading but it's not funny at all. Corporate interests started really sinking their teeth into hip hop in the mid 90s and within 20 years there's almost nothing left. Drake is pretty much the only modern guy that a label can point at and say, "Hey, you can become a superstar off this shyt." At this point they're sucking in starving artists, getting a single or two out of them and tossing them to the wolves. There aren't any black interests looking out for these guys so the whole genre is getting sucked dry. The music industry has always been dirty, look at what white people have done to each other, you know they aren't going to have an issue fukking over high school drop outs and felons.

Im guessing since birdman owns 51% the checks go to him and birdman is not giving Wayne his cut , what a a$$hole but

 

[GzUp]

cause they signed to 1 nikka that's signed to another nikka that's signed to 3 nikkas, now that's bad luck

nah seriously tho... that's why they can get paid and he can't



lets say i'm signed to you... and you are signed to baby... and baby is signed to universal


at the end of the line... the people paying for everything is universal


so they cut the check like.... ok here's your 100 milly baby... here's your 50 milly wayne... here's your 25 milly drake... like walmart... they don't pay the ceo and then tell HIM to pay the cashier... everyone gets their own check for accountability






what's going on here in this case... wayne is PART OWNER of cash money and young money... he says so himself in HIS court docs

what universal is saying... ok here's your checks everyone, EXCEPT you wayne and baby..... YOUR company owes us some cash... so we gonna go ahead and garnish your wages and just add your checks back to us, to pay back this loan on cash money

that's why wayne is also suing baby... he hasn't dropped that lawsuit by the way... aby already got his first 30 million... plus what cash money made... plus another 100 million... and ain't paid none of that shyt to wayne... so he don't care that they taking his little points of drake and nicki, who are two levels down on his list (signed to a nikka that's signed to him)



what wayne is arguing is... whoa whoa whoa.. i only own 49% and i didn't own it when y'all gave out 100 million.. therefore this money shouldn't be coming out of my checks, they should come out of baby's.. maybe they are... but baby ain't putting out music nor letting wayne put out music, plus he still got the money from before so hey



but it doesn't matter.. cause when you buy into a company, you not only take on the good... you also take on the bad (debt)


which goes back to the same point i make in every "rapper cries about money" thread... rappers be so fukking excited to sign somewhere and get money waved in their face, they fukking forget the first rule of business.... READ BEFORE YOU SIGN

Why/how does baby owe universal money?

 

[GzUp]

I have a hard time believing Drake hasn't made anything off sales. The man is too prolific, too smart, too connected. And we already know he's eating off concerts.

Soon we will hear him saying he's owed money too, unless he's too shook to ask for it.

 

[GetitGone]

I think Drake's main income is some of his show money and the ovo merch. Drake generates enough money to always live good. He'll always be able to have homes, private jets, body guards, and car services. But that's because he's getting that through the label. Drake is not liquid at all in comparison to how much he's generating. shyt sucks

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Why/how does baby owe universal money?

they gave him a 100 million dollar deal

they don't give you 100 million dollars and say thanks... nah they LOAN you 100 million and they want every cent back, plus more.. so when drake gets a 2 million dollar advance... that's money owed back, plus percents... drake happens to sell enough that he paid his


cash money is not making no fukking 100 million dollars back... they figured wayne would have about 50 albums go triple plat, plus drake, plus nicki, plus new rappers


then the fukking bottom fell out.. wayne ain't gone plat since 2011, nicki barely going gold these days.. and drake doing 2x plat every few years still ain't getting you back no 100 million dollars

breh... it's literally been going on since the damn 1930's... you want us to cry cause nikkas is signing bad contracts in the 2000s

me personally... i don't shyt on anyone.. i point out facts.. nikkas will sign anything

but wayne knew better... he watched every person on cash money leave.. and dissed them for leaving, even knowing why.. he then KNEW baby was robbing him, told the world he was leaving, had a chance to sign to jay-z... then let baby finesse him out another 150 million dollars he promised...

THEN he sues him... watches baby say fukk this nikka, i own him and he ain't going nowhere.. chuck bottles, shoot up his tour bus.... and follows this up with what????????


showing back up with this nikka at a party, hugged up and drugged up with him again...



what we sposed to do? not laugh at this shyt cause he black? jews and whites made him keep coming back and coming back after knowing he was being robbed?

Baby still eating off UNLV checks, dude has a long history of raping his artists. You got to be an idiot to take that advance and sell your soul to that nikka.

Btw what's up with the tall blind brother? Dude been on the low lately. I wonder how much he eating.
