How Do Y'all Feel About This DIDDY Situation?

[Master Teacher]

black people are mentally kids, still playing the gotcha, i know you are but what I am game

news flash

everyone is hypocritical its called being a person, nobody is perfect

black people think you have to be a perfect person to have an opinion or take a stance on anything

its ridiculous, yes diddy fukked over artist, because anyone signed to a record label is fukked over, and how mean how many records did these artist really sell in the grand scheme

I would see if black rob was a DMX level artist, I'm pretty sure both and other rappers would've looked out for him

at the end of the day black rob barely had a career as an artist, in comparison to somebody like DMX who is an icon

that Mark Curry guy is the only person I Feel like Diddy fukked over, because he wrote a lot of big songs for Diddy and he should be rich

the rest of these artist wanted to be babied and taken care of, like divas, they just wanted to be artist and left the label do everything, but didn't realize they not Michael Jackson, they not some uber talented artist who is worth taken care off like that

Just because you had hit or sold some records doesn't mean you are legend and carry respect

Its fukked up what happened to black rob, but that happens to a lot of muthafukkaz and most of yall will be in this condition when your time comes to

Then why does jay get the most hate


And to be real master p and j. Prince had some in some fukked up deals

I've never seen Jay Z get hate for how he treats his artists.

I've seen way more hate because he treats his business dealings as if he's some kind of revolutionary - when he's used as the face of some pretty fukked up policies.

The BK Nets deal (where he owned an incredibly minor stake) was a facade so they could push people out of a Brooklyn neighborhood.
His investment in the parole app is really just an extension of the prison-industrial-complex with his face on the front.

The Armand de Brignac shyt was just overpriced sparkling wine.

But there may be more to it than that.

You never saw Clive speak at Whitney's funeral? And Tommy married his artist, wtf are you talking about?

Clive was also paying all of whitneys bills before she died


Whitney Houston had frittered away her $100 million fortune on years of drug abuse and high living and was on the skids when she died.

Decades of narcotics use took such a toll on the R&B queen, who once sold more than 170 million albums, that she was reduced to asking friends for $100 handouts. She was leaning heavily on her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis, for financial help to keep her homes in New Jersey and Atlanta out of foreclosure.

Diddy just copying what he learned from these Jewish execs and major label companies

 

[Will Ross]

Nope because diddy did everything possible to make sure his artist had success.

 

[Cat piss martini]

puff is a fakkit peice of shyt who
would kill his mother and children
if it meant more money for him.

 

[goatmane]

Diddy is using the movement to get rich off white multibillion companies. Like most of the black elite class he really don't give a fukk bout the bottom 99% of us

 

[Easy-E]

Genuine question, cuz Twitter been lighting his ass up ever since he wrote that open letter to corporations and Black Robb posting from the hispital.

Is Diddy responsible for his current artists situations?

Should Diddy be buying houses and paying off medical debt for certain people?

Did Diddy fuk over his artists when it comes to money? If so was it intentional or the industry standard?

What y'all think.

Dude, we've got to stop playing dumb with Diddy.

He did his artist dirty.

I always give him his credit for turning them all to stars. But, too many people have the same story. We've seen a book about Diddy's shyt and listened to him getting aired out on radio.

It's not his fault any of them are destitute, but, Diddy does bad business.

 

[Elim Garak]

He's not responsible but it does show what type of person he is imho.

 

[itsyoung!!]

Why is it Diddy's fault nikkas don't read contracts?

thats a poor argument here, cause why give a bad contract in the first place ? Everyone can eat in that industry.

But also supporting a man that was an employee 20 years ago, is a poor argument as well.

No one playing dumb.

I asked legit questions.

And if Diddy is so terrible, y would any of his former artists want his help?

They can't have it both ways.

Excerpt from Wiki:

(Does the fact that he signed to another label after Bad Boy n after his prison sentence change y'all minds about what Diddy responsible for?)


Ross grew up in East Harlem and began rapping between the ages of 11 and 12.[3] He was inspired by the artists he listened to regularly, including Spoonie Gee, Doug E. Fresh, and Slick Rick.[4] When he was 22, he joined his first rap group, the Schizophrenics, though they did not release any albums. He initially rapped under the alias "Bacardi Rob".[3]

He began associating with the Bad Boy label as early as 1996, appearing on the Bad Boy remix to 112's "Come See Me". He was then featured on several Bad Boy releases, including remixes to Total's "What About Us" (1997) and Faith Evans's "Love Like This" (1998), the song "24 Hrs. to Live" (1997) from Mase, and albums by Puff Daddy & the Bad Boy Family (1997) and The Notorious B.I.G. (1999). He also made two appearances on Cru's 1997 album Da Dirty 30, as well as albums by Ol Dirty b*stard, Channel Live, The Madd Rapper, Benzino, Tony Touch, and others. These guest appearances earned him media buzz.

In his earlier years, Black Rob headed the street rap team which he named "Alumni". His debut album Life Story [5] was released in 1999 and rose above platinum sales. In early 2000, he released the hit single "Whoa!". Produced by Diggin' in the Crates Crew member Buckwild, "Whoa!" became his biggest hit. The song peaked at number 43[2] on the BillboardHot 100 and reached the top 10 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop[6] and Rap[7] charts. To date, it remains Rob's only solo single to have reached the Hot 100. Despite subsequently appearing on releases by P. Diddy and G. Dep, he did not make another hit single. His second album, The Black Rob Report failed to perform as strongly as his debut and quickly fell off the Billboard 100 charts. In 2005, Jemal Mosley from Off The Block Entertainment started managing Black Rob's career. In 2010, he parted from Bad Boy and signed to independent label Duck Down Records.[8] In 2011, he released Game Tested, Streets Approved, which peaked at number 44 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Black Rob also started his own independent label, Box and One, with Jemal Mosley.

In 2013, he joined the reality series "Come Back Kings" with Ed Lover, Calvin Richardson, David "Davinch" Chance (of Ruff Endz), Jeff Sanders, Jameio, Mr. Cheeks and Horace Brown.[9][10][11]

In 2014, he appeared on the song "Take 'Em Off Da Map" on Diamond D's recent album, The Diam Piece.

In 2015, Black Rob released his fourth studio album, Genuine Article[12] on Slimstyle Records, which he produced with Jemal Mosley. Guest emcees on include Sean Price, Tek, battle legend Murda Mook, and Quas Amill. Ron Browz, former Bad Boy label-mate Q. Parker (112), Kali Ranks, and Quan all sing choruses on the album. Producers include Easy Mo Bee, Coptic, Big French, and others.


Legal issuesEdit
Black Rob was sentenced to over seven years in prison in 2006 after failing to appear in court for his sentencing (which was set to be two to six years initially) on a charge of grand larceny from 2004, in which he pleaded guilty to criminal possession of more than US$6,000 worth of jewelry stolen in a hotel.[13] He was released from prison in May 2010, and was interviewed by BET[14] two hours later.[15]

Why is it Diddy's fault nikkas don't read contracts?

Why are you giving him an out but co-signing him when he says the same about other corporations? You gotta keep that same energy all around.

Where did I cosign Diddy's statements about corporations?

If you get sick, would you look to your boss to pay your medical bills?

They do.. it's called health insurance. They pay most of the premium.
