I’m glad I didn’t watch this interview because that was tough to sit through. Irv didn’t say anything wrong but his shouting and defensive body language doesn’t fit at all with the Drink Champs theme.

What Drink Champs theme? If there's ever been a show to come and shyt on folks, or air out anything, it's Drink Champs. Nore lines them up to talk ish about people....well, unless it's Diddy or Jay. You can't say ish about them now.

You might be right. But it usually feels like guests are more loosened up when they talk that shyt. Irv is talking like he’s in court lol

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone argue for the record label owning the masters, and the reasoning actually makes some sense.

Im sure you know all this, just saying it out loud.

The label eats off album sales (among other ways), which is normally split in their favor to an outlandish degree. They also eat off of recouping advances, which are also normally set up for artists to fail. Irv also owns her publishing (even tho… nvmnd), which means he’s eating no matter who owns her masters.

Irv’s answer is bullshyt for the same reason 360’s are bullshyt: it’s about extracting maximum value, regardless of how it impacts the artist.

He fooled him because he gave an honest take :laff:. Irv’s a fickle person. He’s clearly use to people yessing the hell out of him. I like when folks call me out. If we share sweaters let me knows when I’m out of order/crossed boundaries. If it’s real I won’t mind but if it’s not I’m Irv .. ridiculous.

if i truly call someone a friend i will never find fault with them telling me something i need to hear. even if i dont want to hear it.

doesn't mean i'll always agree, but still.

The business is SUPPOSED to extract the max value though.

Exactly. Irv, doesn’t want friends though .. he wants minions.

yes. but what irv and some of these labels are doing is redefining what constitutes max value, in order to better suit their own bottom line.

I don't get it.... What y'all want Gotti to say? Gotti gave him what's Luv and brought this nikka back 2 life when Pun died and this is the way Joe pays him back? That fat nikka hould of mind his own business and not spoke on it. It doesn't concern him AT ALL. But I guess 50 put the battery in his back:manny:

This. Mind your business. I love Joe but he talks too much too.
