that's by choice, you don't have to sign to a label today. you can bypass labels straight to digital distribution. artists back then didn't have nearly as many independent recording and distribution options. yet people still take poor deals so can they say they were taken advantage of or they make bad decisions?
They had that option back then too. Folks was selling tapes out the truck. Buying their own tapes , pressing them, and releasing them. Folk would travel to each mom and pops and radio station to network. nikkas went to the majors already with an establish fan base moving units. Did there own beats, paid for there own studio time etc

This is what made P and Birdman/slim laugh at labels coming with those traditional and 360 deals , when they was moving shyt in the bay and Louisiana…

Now that Mase has a huge platform and the Keefy D indictment is a realistic possibility....

Puff trying to dump some of his baggage and win the good graces of those that might step up and speak against him.

PR team and lawyers are on overdrive right now. (no, i don't think he's in any legal risk, mostly public image and the ability to do more deals risk)

Uh oh
