that's cool in 1975... it's 2014

how many espn docs you need to see?? how many sport illustrated stories you need to read?? how many times you cruising the internet and see another rapper/athlete broke?? or in jail for tax problems.. or on the news for tax problems? or getting jerked


yes the system is set up to target the blind.. but once you become a grown man, shyt even by like 16.. you should already know "hey i want to play in the nfl and i'm already varsity and getting recruited... MAYBE i should start looking into who's never been fukked over, and see how they did it"

this is like the rg3 thing... you got vets of either game, trying to teach these youngings how not to fukk up.. they ignore them, say i got this, then get fukked... then want to turn around and blame somebody

nah homie you over 18 right?? they hand you a big ass contract the size of a dictionary.. nothing in your brain said, maybe i should read this, or have someone read this, just in case i'm being fukked here??


and with athletes, your point doesn't even make sense... most athletes don't get fukked.. they have unions and player reps and all the resources available to not get fukked... most athletes just blow their money

it's the rappers who get fukked.. and that's because they don't read the contract and/or don't care about reading the contract and/or hired the first person in the phone book... instead of doing their research


it's 2014... artists been complaining about getting fukked for damn near 100 years now.. and everybody knows it... and yet people still sit down and do the same thing.. you think they don't know?? yes they know.. they don't care.. they want the fame and the 500k advance.. they don't even care they getting fukked till the money runs out.. then it's "oh it's THEIR fault that I signed a fukked up deal that I never read"

i wouldn't sign a damn car loan without reading it
lol Age doesn't make you a man. It was T. Rogers who said he didn't become a man until he was in his thirties.

You're talking about reading contracts but you're not taking into consideration that they may not be able to read at all. That was part of the point of my post about being passed alone in school not based on grades but how well you play. Some of the other things you're saying is over simplifying the process that they actually go through as well. People go to school for years to learn the legal system, contracts etc. and you up here talking about just grab a dictionary. That's what the lawyers and accountants are for and they are taking advantage of people because they know the system and we don't.

I'm not saying that the artist/player is one hundred percent blameless all of the time but when someone is stealing from you, you are the victim. Also lots of players have gone broke because of things like the housing market crashing, the down turn of the economy, the dot com boom etc. It's not always them blowing money or not handling their business or just signing things blindly. Lawyers and accountant can lie and steer artist into financial ruin as well.

And I don't want to go back and forth with the sports stuff. I think you missed the parallel analogy I was making. In this case Wayne is the player, Baby is the coach etc.

That's not what I said

I didn't say they should just read it. I said it's the size of a dictionary and they don't even read it OR have it read to them

I don't care how dumb you are. In 2014, if you don't know that people are getting fukked over in the music industry, you're fukking past retarded

If you don't know, to take that contract to a lawyer. Or 3. Then you're retarded


You can be dumb as a box of rocks and know that "hey I can't read this. Maybe I should have someone else read it before I sign it"

What I'm saying is they don't care. They hear 500k and house and car and bytches and would sign it whether it was read to them or not. Cause they can't see themselves turning down that kind of money

It's only later they regret that choice. Usually when they fail and get placed on the shelf



Tyga is smart and his fam is from money. He didn't have a single complaint about his deal. Then he can't get a release. Oh now it's time to cry

Wayne knew the deal. Wanted to leave cause he knew he was getting fukked. Signed a new deal anyway. Yet he either didn't bother with a lawyer again. Or said fukk it, baby giving me all these millions. But soon as he can't get a release, he crying


Nobody cries when they getting the money. Nobody cries while negotiating. It's not until the buzz is gone, but they feel they should still get whatever they want, and get denied.... Then it's puffs fault. It's babys fault. It's jay fault. It's everybody fault but the man who took the money, spent the money, signed up for it and didn't maintain his popularity

Slim is the numbers man when it comes to the Cash Money empire...nikkas gotta stop blaming Birdman for everything just cause he's the facecard...

it's actually a THREE RING CIRCUS...you guys are missing the main culprit which is CMR's distributor UNIVERSAL RECORDS

in this vintage MTV interview BIRDMAN explains his only conflict with UNIVERSAL is their procrastination with releasing records.....


at 4:14 mark: "I AIN'T TRYING TO HEAR NONE OF THAT SHYT THEY TALKING ABOUT...WE NEED TO DROP ALBUMS!!!"



see CMR is responsible for the development of the artists i.e (recording, image) while UNIVERSAL role is to distribute and market...

THEY (UNIVERSAL) give the GREEN LIGHT on who releases projects out the CMR camp...

It's a P&D deal ROCAFELLA went thru the same thing,,,,eveb though the CMR deal is more lucrative and comes with greater equity on CMR part such as that 80/20 split on their behalf , it still misses that key component that EVERY BOSS WANTS which is SOVERIEGNTY which makes you TRULY INDEPENDENT

Yeah you are exactly right, the distribution label is always the most powerful...
