When asked about it on the Breakfast Club he didn't sound particularly positive AT ALL. Envy pointed out the album did really well and Rae downplayed it, and later mentioned getting sued for samples. IE he didn't clear samples on his indie project and thus wound up losing money due to being a dumbass.

I saw the same interview. I felt he was just down playing how much he made from the album.

Funny story is I remember when I was going back and forth up there dealing with this chik. Her friend who did music marketing was telling me she applied for a job with Rae's company. She was mad hyped about Rae forming a company out there in 2011/2012 . I just gave her the :mjlol: , ain't no one give a damn about no Icewater records. I still remember The american dream team which Rae put together, that never amounted to anything.


You mean the American Cream Team...I think one of the members got shot and died and the other dude Superb got knocked for poking underage poon

Dude got his shot. He can rap but nothing else extra so he's 1 of a million people who rap. He actually had more of an advantage on being on multiple tracks wit Rae and even going on tour. He may not have gotten paid for the tour but I'm also sure he didn't spend anything.

End of the day the looks he got if he was interesting enough and worked harder on opening up a lane would have elevated him.

A cosign only goes but so far. This is a perfect example.

Dude got on every major website fukking wit Rae.......way more exposure than he would have gotten on his own.

Can't blame Rae that dude is a 1 dimensional dude who the people didn't take to.

His first mistake was thinking that Rae was supposed to make a fanbase magically appear for you for just being a rapper without anything extra about you.



This dude wanna hand out free cds that he want Rae to press up, after he got home from a tour Rae took him on that he didn't get paid for. That he complaining about now........Well friends I'll tell you like this.....I went to that tour wit Freddie Gibbs and Rae and JD Era.

Bottom line you can't think just cuz ya man is Raekwon that people are supposed to give a fukk about you or Rae is supposed to force them to give a fukk about you.

Why were you posted backstage at the show like you already made it?

Why didn't you have those cd's pressed before the tour so you could interact or sell them and make a few dollars after your performance?

No stickers or anything else to promote yourself while you on the road?


This dikkhead got off the road empty handed, no buzz, just multiple features with Raekwon that no one cares about.

This dude sitting back waiting for Rae to make him a fanbase......nah homie put that work in. You better off than alot of folks.....
