Joe Budden is the mouthpiece of the industry's favorite rapper; The cac they can prop up as the white savior of hip hop.
He is a millionaire signed to Shady Records who ensure his sheltered pov is on TV and radio at all times. wtf are you talking about...

1 star

Blackballed artists are ppl like Azeala Banks where white jews and hollywood cacs make it known through the industry Do Not work with or push this artist.

:whoo:This thread is kinda dumb because you don't need a major label to have success look at Fat Joe, Duxk Down or any other independant artist with their own record label. Then your measurement of success changes drastically because if Fat Joe sold 250,000 copies but reaps back 90 cents on the dollar of his $12 album vs say Nicki Minaj who would recieve 13 cents on the dollar for her $12 album that sold 2,000,000 copies. Figuratively speaking, Fat Joe would earn (0.9 x 12 = $10.80 per album sold) $2,700,000.00 dollars whereas Nicki Minaj would earn (0.13 x 12 = $1.56 per album sold) which equates to $3,120,000.00. So, yes Nicki sold more records - way more! and made more money but not by much as with just a 1/8th of sales Fat Joe would have made just shy of $400,000 less. With the advent of streams counting as sales then this feat is easily achieved and the marketing dollars would have been a high return compared to Nicki Minaj's record deal just to the sheer return on Fat Joe's end.

:pachaha::jawalrus:I know that was long winded but you don't need a major record label to do anything and that is simply why you can just do it yourself if you study the business yourself. I am not in the recording industry but if I know that then these idiots like Lil' Wayne should of been able to grasp that simple math when signing his contract.

:gucci:Imagine if they had the smarts of Master P and the mainstream attention he had (which Fat Joe does but not the mainstream) Lil Wayne for example could of sold 2,000,000 of 'X' album and reaped 90% of those sales from Tha Carter III that he's back owed now if he just went independant like the other Hot Boys.

My point is being "blackballed" is relative to the contract situation and that you may never know unless they give hints to their earning like lil wayne who said how much he is owed which is somewhere in the ball park of $100,000,000. Which means he either has a high percentage on the dollar for his contract (unlikely with Birdbrain's track record) or that he's grossly inflated the potential earnings lost to ruin Birdbrain's reputation to sign new artists (most likely as that would dry up the pool of talent = making more money from them).

:whew:


:dame:...I'm such a chatty patty but it's the truth and so that's why your thread doesn't make sense, breh.:deadmanny: Going to sleep now:hubie:


:gucci:Now...
Joe Budden was literally just signed to Shady/Aftermath/Interscope with Slaughterhouse a few years ago so that makes your point mute.

:comeon:Also, Jae Millz was just shyt. What exec would spend company dollars on someone with minimal talent and an army trunk full of skruggle bars knowingly:heh:?
You need connections to be on The Breakfast Club, in magazines, TV appearances, etc.

Chief Keef literally wanted to fail, stop it
He was a child, who did kid shyt when they signed him. He only listened to that one guy his "Uncle/manager" and never understood the business he was messing up. The failure is more on the label for spending all that money for GBE before doing artist development with Keef.

Gucci Mane was blackballed early during the Jeezy beef but fought thru it with Chicken Talk.

Three 6 has infamously blackballed Yo Gotti and other Memphis rapper back in the day.

Can anybody explain to me what happened here? I never knew this and am curious as to what happened? Anyone care to clarify or point me in the right direction of some information or links? Thanks.

Didnt 50 have a bidding war before signing with aftermath :what:

50 was beefing with damn near everybody in ny including preme labels were more likely scared & turned off before he dropped those mixtapes & got the em cosign that nikka wasn't blackballed :stopitslime:

All that blackballed talk is all apart his image & storyline he wanted to present
Nah bro Irv was black balling him....he even got him taken off that j.lo track and he was replaced by Nas ...that's why 50 had beef with Nas

this nikka just had the theme song for wwe's summerslam:dead:

Apparently MGK is the one saying Em has blackballed him. I'm just saying IF he was blackballed at all it would be because he's a dikkhead by because of something he said about Ems daughter

Irv couldnt have stopped a major label from signing 50 especially with the type of earning upside he had then singles dont mean shyt :stopitslime:
