And that’s the thing. I was taught how to read contracts when I was a teen and some of the double and triple talk in them shyts will have ur head spinning. It’s a finesse that most people who aren’t savvy in will get chewed up in.
Ok but somehow magically he understands it now. What happened?

What real money could Conway be making anyway with that Griselda contract? They ain't selling no records and every artist is getting fukked by streaming services so he's making chump change on that. They ain't getting song placements on radio or commerical so them royalties can't be making shyt.

Only decent money these guys can make is through live shows and maybe merch which he says in the video isn't part of the contract, so it doesn't sound like he's trapped in some 360 slave deal.

These clowns have tricked themselves into thinking they should be making millions just because they co-play in their raps like they're Hov in the 2000s :mjlol:

They make a killing off selling physicals, Vinyl, and merch. Especially at shows. They have a cult following.

In my opinion, they would do way better if they toured overseas.

Westside Gunn said the tour is sponsored by Puma. Let’s hope that Conway read the contract this time.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how much they give to this lady in the photo for using her likeness.

They all have had felonies. Not sure it's that easy.

Didn't they tour with the lox back before they got deals. Wouldn't you think somebody in the lox would tell them to read a contract before signing it

Not sure how true, but I read somewhere that Conway was signed to Rocko back in the day, so he definitely should’ve known to read a contract.

Cole was young though...


Cole was 22 year old who attended St. Johns University on an academic scholarship, he graduated from St. John's University with a 3.8 GPA and Magna Cum Laude Honors and a degree in communication and business.

He was grown, had friends who worked at Def Jam, claims he studied hip hop, and still didn’t read his contract? Come on man

at some point the artists are just as complacent as the industry.

That’s how they all get “got” they never read the contracts.
That’s why the industry focuses on super young people who are in desperate financial situations, they won’t even read what they’re signing. Conway was a grown man when he signed though, was he not?

Yes, but like you said, he was probably in a desperate financial situation.

Yeah but at a certain age when you’re in a desperate situation, you accept that you’re making a short term move that will probably hurt you in the long term, therefore you can’t complain. It’s why people feel sympathy for kids who take out student loans at 18 and end up without jobs but nobody would give a fukk if you did it at 35
