EMI has a significant part of Kanye's catalog in which he signed a clause requring him to continue contributing until the obligations are deemed fulfilled.....
They were once a major label (the big 4...sony, warner..universal..emi) but they folded thier music recording division several years ago and just solely concentrate as a publishing/catalog firm....
this contract is so oppressive he can't even do a buyout ...
West inked his deal with the company in 2003 and wants a judge to terminate it in 2010, which would make the contract a seven-year agreement. According to Ye, any contract that goes beyond the seven year point is considered “servitude” in California and should be voided.
The 41-year-old actually tried to buy himself out of his EMI contact in October 2018, which he talked about on social media. He also called out the then current and future CEOs of EMI’s parent company, Sony/ATV, Jon Platt and Marty Bandier.
“I went to go buy my publishing from Sony/ATV, and they said it was $8 million, $9 million,” he stated. “And went I went to buy it, they told me no. I couldn’t buy my publishing. It’s like the control.”
“I got the money,” he added. “So, big Jon, Marty, whoever is involved. I need my publishing. I got the money. I’m not gonna say the S-word. I’m not Prince. I don’t need to write it on my face.”

You guys should read the whole article he literally signed his life away. That quote by OP doesn’t do this justice.
I didn’t even know contracts could get so grimey.
sounds like a choice to me. 
on Weezy (who free now) dikk when the bars apply to his bo$$. The game crazy
the least he could have done was get a lawyer to read that shyt before he signed it... And if he got so much money now why can't he fight it...
this nikkas talking about slavery was a choice and he signed to a damned slave deal...
