LIL WAYNE TELLS the STORY of when JAY Z TRIED TO SIGN HIM for $175,000

[chosenaledge13]

Only old heads rock with these dudes. They are not popping in 2016.

I just listened to Raekwon today. That doesnt make him hot.

What do you consider "popping" in 2016? And radio play dont mean success, keep that in mind...

Wasn't Hov trying to buy Wayne out of his contract? Don't really remember the specifics, but maybe this was on top of the buy out ?

There's gotta be more to it. If the price was that low, other labels woulda been having bidding wars for him, in his peak. Not gonna front tho...if Wayne did go with Jay, we woulda never seen the drugged out skater version of Wayne.

I heard about that too. The buy out for Wayne was too much for Hov so he said fukk it.


Like him or not, Wayne did a lot for the culture and put his soul into rap. He deserve to compensated fairly for it.

Birdman just need to give Wayne his freedom papers

AND it was the shytty post-breakup roc-a-fella

roster at the time was bleek, tru life, uncle murda

Tru Life finna fukk around and get out of prison and get that Future stimulus...Future and Tru Life go back according to Fewtch

 

[Durrbrowski]

That kick push playin tho - neither of them nikkas can see Lupe #WasaluSama

 

[Chip Skylark]

That nikka didn't write The Carter

I need receipts. Thats my fav and I think Waynes best body of work.

1. 175 Thousand

Hov fukked up

All cash no paperwork just to sign on the dotted line and rep the roc you stupid

[Fani Willis fan]

Exactly

The 175k was just the non recoupable advance for Wayne ....

Because right after meeting Jay he said he received a call from Doug Morris (jay z old boss) at UNIVERSAL/DEF JAM offering millions to buyout(close) the deal

he talked about it on DEDICATION

Wayne dont understand that for someone like Jay to even be shelling out non-recoupable advance money on another artist is a gesture thats out character.

Hes just looking at the figure, which looks small. but that definitely wasnt the contract money. Def Jam takes care of that.

Weezy F Baby and the F stands for Face Amount

 

[L. Deezy]

175 thousand? Jayz is smokin dope

Bet Wayne wouldnt be in 13 million in debt tho if he signed.

 

[Uncle Kendrick]

We talking about prime Wayne he was worth at least 2mill and that's just the starting price ya dig.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

175k

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I think its fair to say regardless of advance or money, Jay Z probably would have gotten Wayne a better bacc end deal on long money stuff like catalog, publishing, masters-- also the fact that Baby doesnt pay no matter what "deal" was signed...

what yall think? Should Wayne have taken tha deal?

facts

 

[Icantspell]

Two of lil waynes teeth cost 175k

Foh Jay

 

[Doomsday]

Just goes to show how fans exaggerate numbers that celebrities make. All that hype around Wayne at the time and only 175,000?
