Lyor said "lil nikka" breh?
Lyor must be laughing now that he doesn't have to deal with headstrong guys on the level of like Dame, Irv, Dee and Waah anymore.
that's what YOU say... numbers (the only buzz a label cares about) would say you're dead wrong
again... a label ain't going off bought views and hood hot and what bumps in the car and twitter followers and page views on articles
they go off charts, sales, radio spings, how big a paying crowd you can bring.... things that equal money
i can offer up a free concert and fill it with 250k people.... wouldn't matter shyt to a company like having a #9 hit and 30k people who are paying $50 to get in
you give me some hard evidence that thug has a huge buzz... and by buzz i mean paying customers
that's all the labels care about
if that were true... wouldn't lyor be DYING to put him outLol thug buzzin. He aint Kanye. But bol buzzin.
Thug sell out shows
Got mad youtube views even tho u say thats not a viable metric
Big social media presence even tho im sure you dont think thats viable either
Has had several songs chart
If devils advocate, dude off the coli had all that going for him he would be buzzin lol.
Not tryna negate nothing you said. But Even Lyor know he buzzin in the colloquial sense. Again not negating nothing you said your right
if that were true... wouldn't lyor be DYING to put him out
wouldn't any label want to make money
see that's what i'm saying... yes he's doing what you're saying... but when it comes to a person/company putting up MILLIONS and needing that back.... they are NOT going to chance it on a few shows and a youtube
if I was doing that... well fukk yea.... they'd be ready to sign... but why?? cause I did all that with no label help.. so the idea would be, if we give him millions, he could double that with the extra help
but when you've already been "given" millions (prices of everything combined into years of promo and a release) and then you sell 16k... well now I see that all that "buzz" didn't amount to shyt... and definitely didn't get my money back
lets not forget, thug would still owe from album 1... then get more money.... then that second album would need to make back all the lost money from the first, and make back all the new money i gave again.... with no track record of even doing 20k.... it's a wrap breh
they think on a global scale... and on numbers... which i feel killed the ART of it... but any rapper will tell you.. you mess around and lose them money... you finished... you seeing it happen before your eyes and yet you want it to be another way... but it's not that way... it's this way

i'm just fukking with you breh... it's all loveLol I don't want it one way or the other just asking questions and seeking reasoning. Obviously you have superior knowledge and acumen in these matters thanks for sharing.
TBH i really wouldn't be surprised if he did.Are you serious he really said that?
breh the iron ain't hot... at all
people want you to believe nobody is selling... that's dead wrong... you got nikkas selling all over the place... doing at least 60k first week... a few nikkas doing 80-100k... maybe 6-10 nikkas doing 150-300k.. and 1-2 doing 500k
doing 12k... 30k.... you finished... it's over
you might think "they not really being promoted".... that ain't the point... everything is under the label for cost... i give you an advance, i'm (lyor) paying that... you need a billboard, i'm paying that... you get a per diem (daily money to eat and look fresh)... you need to fly to this place... you need an interview over here.. you need to record.. you need to mix, master, engineer.. you need to get a tour set up... tour dj... magazine ads... tv ads... i need to grease some palms to get you play... i gotta actually print up these cds.. i gotta pay these producers, writers, photographers.... etc etc etc
and you only making me 30k in sales?? and that's not 100% profit to the label... nah i gotta pay the distributor and everyone else involved making a dollar.... and now you bricked you need ANOTHER 250k? and that's low low low balling it... you already blew my money
now what i'm gonna do is let you blow YOUR money... see how it feels... if you can drum up another hit, i'll give you more... but you ain't going no fukking where owing me money... and you damn sure ain't gonna be giving away shyt for free when you owe me money
lets do a jayz type thing
i give you $100 in weed... tell you bring me back 150 and keep the rest.... you bring me back 30 dollars
you think i'm gonna give you more weed? you think i'm not gonna fukk you up when you owe me 120 dollars but you outside giving away free weed a week later?
you can grow your own weed, and when you make the money, i'll take it and give you some more of my weed.... but until that happens... i better not catch you with weed or money that is owed to me
Remember Bleek trolling Dame with the jacket situation
The look on Dame's face in the cut
He saw exactly what they were doing and said something. I can't imagine many "bosses" speaking up like that today![]()
getting 10% of 30k a night is not caking brehthat's what the 360 deal is for...Lyor cakin off of them touring and everything...point is, he want to maximize and try to get them scolding hot like Future before tryin to release their official albums that counts towards their contracts and while he doin that, he's missing the wave that they do have and they end up gettin colder...Thugger shoulda had something out official wayyyy before Barter 6 and Migos shoulda had something out around the time Versace was poppin off...even that Fetty Wap album came a lil late...
