MOP going through Brooklyn shaking down bootleggers appreciation thread

[FreshAIG]

what beat is that at 2:10

Breaking the Rules



"My name's Bill...(WHAT UP BILL), I'm a semi-automatic, addict for real"

 

[King P]

Had a baseball bat with him and everything lol.

I don't blame them one bit. You got these cats eating off the hard work they put in, I'd feel some type away about that too if I was an artist :ohwelp:

 

[SouljaVoy]

Making sure the bootleggers don't have they album, and taking them.

Early 2000s fashion was trash

No nikka. MOP's fashion was trash.
Look at some videos of Puffy, and the nikkas in his circle, and them nikkas was fly... Outdated, well of course, but they were fly for the time.
MOP are bummy/grimy type nikkas.

I used to play this cd every day in 98 for a while. On the cd, this is right before "4 alarm blaze". Every time I hear this song, I think 4 alarm blaze is gonna follow

if they partnered with the bootleggers, they'd make more with them than they would with the labels. What was their points with Loud? either way, they weren't getting $4 or more an album. KRS said he would spot bootlegers and cut deals with them in giving him half of what they earned on his sales.

y'all love this argument and it's a really shytty one

Yes, music contracts are horrible but 9 times out of 10, people are in horrible circumstances at the time of signing these deals. Usually living in extreme poverty, and young. You're 18-20 year old kids from Prospect Plaza In Brownsville, Billy Danze had just came home from prison, Fame's brother was killed, and a record label offers you a record deal, a decent advance to put some money in your pocket and pay your bills, you're gonna sign it.

Not to mention, record labels actually do other things like spend money on distribution and promotion, so they are entitled to profits because they put the up front money to make the project come together

Bootleggers literally do nothing for the artists. They get money for themselves selling shyt you worked for. They didn't put money up to help you put the album together, to help you sell it. They just take your work and sell it for themselves.

So the comparison is dumb.

nikkas in here right now working a job they don't even like for bread but wanna tell the next man what to do for food

On the low, a lot of those bootleggers work for the label. I know in the early 90's, labels were getting some of that bootleg money. They don't have to pay the artists, get the same price, for a cheaper product to make. Plus, a lot didn't like rap, or black music, so they can say certain artists didn't sell, so no reason to sign others like them.

Breaking the Rules



"My name's Bill...(WHAT UP BILL), I'm a semi-automatic, addict for real"

now when i hear this beat i think of the lox... sheek went in my nikka

i make nikkas hang up and i aint talkin a phone
watch nikkas get sprayed and i aint talkin cologne
I done fed the dogs food, I ain't talking the bone
When the hammer's out, duck behind cars
Hawks too, y'all don't really want those facial scars
Motherfukkers get the nine to the head, left dead
Vultures all around like I fed them bread
If the hammer don't work, yeah, there's a shottie
nikka I go fishing with the worms that come out your body
Look at my face, you see? I don't care about dying
And I only laugh to stop from crying
Walk With Me, D-Block, 3-5-4
Only rappers that's ready for war
Keep some shyt in the drawer
Other guns I gotta put in the floor
They're too big
Start a hair salon with what I could do to a wig
I'm about done, Hood pass me my gun
Y'all nikkas is straight corny
Plus p*ssy and I'm starting to feel horny
Wha, ayo Hood pass the motherfukking bottle to me, son

I only think about Styles P verse. He annihilated The Roc

"I get NY jumping like when Jeter get off
How the fukk y'all the Roc when your leader is soft?"

And the after talk, nikka told Sigel he'll stab him in the heart. That's real hatred.

If you watch the clip, in the restaurant Fame said if you want to bootleg their shyt, hit him up and they'll work out a deal.
