I can't really cosign this. A lot of the best talent in the world was fostered because someone went out of their way to help someone else.

what do you do?
PaperEnterprise
It's the inner strength..
That's why I believe in written agreements...which clearly outline goals and what happens when goals are met...thinking big without paperwork means you hope for it to happen...
I agree but often times things happen so fast on the fly that immediatly whatever agreement becomes null
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
I know but I have been hearing about these stories for years
shyt is outta control
Ain't even these new nikkas jerking folk that gets me heated..it's cats like Wayne and other established rappers not paying producers til they get sued or something
Make a nikka sign something.. all I'm saying
Loud Still Coolin
Suppose be a IT cert like you coli nikkaz

...come on let's picture the possibility...
You talking about the old days bro. The game has changed so much that places like bet and mtv are obsolete. If you try to ban and blackball there are a million other outlets to go to.not exactly....
it's actually POLITICS as opposed to MONEY that gets you further than others in this game
which is based on RELATIONSHIPS
look I met a lot of "big money" hustlers and dopeboys who were willing to pour thousands if not a million or two into a certain project for an artist
and wound up Wasting money..cause they couldn't establish a good relationship with a certain PD....DJ or LABEL HEAD..
it happens all the time...
guys I knew were taking penitentiary risks to just to get a single popping in the club's .....
only to get blocked regardless how much paper they had...cause the hustler didn't have any history or,someone to,vouch for him like an OG...OR simply cause the deejay has ties with their rival...or felt the hustlers wasn't connected enough or like in BMF Case...the FEDS told the labels and,deejays to NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.....
MEECH spent half a mill on videos that never got any burn on BET and MTV,because of that....
I personally know a baller who "paid" deejays from ATL to NYC to have a single played which had a nice buzz....
but because he told ONE fukkboy deejay to go to HELL
somehow the SINGLE got blackballed even though it had a feature from Jeezy
come to find,out that certain deejay was plugged in with DEF JAM so it never got cleared and the man lost 100s of thousands on promoting and the visual for it only to get BLOCKED...
So U see it's about RELATIONSHIPS
cause like Jay Z says
"when you have RELATIONSHIPS you always have ACCESS TO MONEY....
but MONEY CANT ALWAYS buy you RELATIONSHIPS "
I just peeped this last week. They tell you flat out that if you got the money they can make it happen for you:
3:35 mark on.

And you talking about a label Def Jam, that already came under federal scrutiny over muder inc. not wanting to do business with a drug kingpin. Bad example yo. I'm sure if they were legit the red carpet would have been rolled out for them.

There is no loyalty in the music biz
its all about who you can finesse.
that "manager" got finessed for his connections and influence then got discarded.

nikkas from the same hoods should have some honor. I could never do that to my friends, people even return favors in the corporate world. That's how communities like the jewish people win. They fukk with each other and put on for each other.
Of course for that to happen or you need to assume that cats are raised with honor, good morals and respect. Gates is obviously not raised with any of those factors. And from the looks of this thread neither are the people supporting this type of snake shyt. Of course when you start reaching higher levels, you should have contracts and shyt.
But this was not a business arrangement, it was a friendship before right? if it was pure business you're completely correct.

SOHH ICEY...WE EATIN
If u follow gates u see him wit 100 nikkaz that started wit him from the jump, all on tour wit him and different places wit him. Maybe he didn't make the cut, stuff happen in life sometimes where u just don't fukk wit person no more

Drake had money and POLITICS got him on, he ran out of bread trying to pay his way in.
I can name more examples.

And another.Ok it's official....that whole "I started from the bottom/grinded from nothin" story that rappers keep comin with is pure bs and tired as hell.
Throw it in the bushes right next to "I'm not a rapper, I'm a hustler"Yep if money was the all it took, dudes like the President who cut a check for Q on WSHH every week would be on.
