He's just throwing out an extravagant number cos he knows he's better off independent. It's not like he seriously thinks a label is going to offer him that. :shaq2:

If you can market Kdot and turn him into the biggest star in rap, you can make 3 million off joey bad ass :sitdown:

sad thing, he's too talented to sign for 3mill, his talents can't get him that kind of deal, he'd have to dumb himself down OD

Joey can actually pull it off thanks to CACs and their obsession with "real Hip Hop." 808s and snares are not as popular as they used to be.

CACs claim to appreciate that "real/old school hip hop" but when it comes to that soundscan they don't show up. They're not spending their money on that pissy hallway, chinese wings, dust blunts, god body, similac rap, breh:stunnadahell: As accepted as dudes like Kendrick and J Cole are, their music is still very modern and relevant to today's sound. Joey will get mad internet love and then turn around and do Papoose numbers.

I don't believe that bullshyt. These nikkas be lying about how much they sign for and labels be right along with them. I dont give a fukk what Def Jam says or wherever he signed no one gave him 2 million or figure he's worth that much unless LA Reid is back in charge giving crazy deals again. Yall nikkas got to stop believing everything these cats say and I guarantee Rocky aint even halfway to paying his label back either. Especially if he signed a multi-album deal. These nikkas get pennies b/c everything is fronted by the label. They hardly ever get from under the labels boot which is why they have to start clothing lines and all kinds of other side deals like his Adidas one.

:russ:

That Shyne deal wuz crazy as hell but not as crazy as givin trinidad 2 million if they did that shyt....gotta be more too it than u said unless a&rs fall for the hype machine as easily as fans,if so maybe joey badass is bankin on that,cuz he ain't bankin on common sense:heh:....I don't think trinidad will release another hit...I don't think joey will ever put out a hit but the money is better spent on him seein as how artist who put out quality are the ones shinin and sellin

Trinidada james was signed before that song blew up, no way he signed for 2 million the way y'all thinking. Just cause they say 2 million, you gotta see how the numbrs breakdown.

Funny part is, Trinidad James signed for 2 mil last year. But thats cuz that nikka is marketable. How in the world is a label gonna push a cat like Joey?:pachaha:


Rocky signed for 3 mill, n im pretty sure he already made it back to his label.

:dahell: he's :trash:
