I highly doubt he's involved with the day to day operations of the joint. He's clearly the money man and delegates everything to this Hughes clown
Yeah, that's kind of the problem we're talking about here.

Rappers are already "Lean On Me"-level dumb and janky as hell, so imagine how retarded a rapper's friends are. You're given an opportunity to profit off MC shythead's name, expand operations and be known as a mogul in your own right.

Instead you are violating labor laws and embezzling from the company.:mjlol:

Trash. Overpriced "soul" food like Puff Daddy was doing for years with "Justin's" in Buckhead. These rappers think they can get over on name recognition alone. Nah.. too many good places to eat here. The restaurant business is cutthroat.
.....AND the service is the worst ever. I never went there simply because I got the scoop from about TEN different friends or co-workers who ALL said the exact same thing: they waited too long to be seated and, as a result, either (a) left in disgust after getting tired of waiting and being ignored, or (b) were even MORE pissed afterwards cause the food was trash and not remotely worth the long ass wait they had endured. :heh:

It's a slippery slope when you lend a celeb name....look at Gladys Knight's son, he ran themshyts into the ground and people LOVED that damn restaurant. Now HER name gotta be sullied cause HE was all about them financial shenanigans. :smh:

BTW, ATL heads....they should put a Roscoe's Chicken 'N Waffles in EVERY spot where a Gladys Knight jawn used to be, especially downtown and in Lithonia. :wow:

Concrete, Concrete like Greg Street
its was mismanaged. A couple people i know served there and managed there. One manager didn't get a check for 4 months. T.I. is a good dude but had his uncle and 2 friends running the restaurant and they had no experience running a restaurant. Guests were constantly walking out on bills b.c they never received their food. Security was smoking weed at the entrance. Just hood as shyt, T.I.'s goons were always there eating and drinking for free and treating the staff like shyt, staff stole everything they could get their hands on etc...horribly run everyone that worked their with restaurant experience knew it wouldn't be open long...and stole as much as they could. Feel bad for T.I. but he should've known better....they were busy as shyt though but even with all that money coming in...it was going out the back door. Liquor suppliers wouldn't even sell to them b.c all their checks would bounce...it was a big mess

Tip didn't know this was going on though...hes a good dude. Just trusted the wrong people with his name

Glady's son insists that those joints will be back open shortly. I seriously DOUBT that, and Scale 925 isn't long for this Earth either. Usher and Dupri's places went belly up too. :francis:

and don't get me started about Micheal Vick's wine bar he opened right before he was indicted. :sadcam:

Yall just keep in mind when rappers back ventures like this, they're generally hands off and did it as a solid to someone else.

All that being said, Tip still should be held accountable, that's part of it.

And also also, Scales is absolute TRASH. Nobody that knows the city eats there, and if they did they ate there once and didn't go back :huhldup:

Came here to say this. Also this brings up another topic. How far should people go to put there people on? TI could've hired a cac with a degree to run the place for probably less then what he was paying that idiot manger.
But y'all say y'all pro black
