you'd give an established artist who's shown he has a loyal fanbase and has the ability to make crossover hits..... 3x less than ASAP Rocky got?
you wouldn't be an A&R breh, you wouldn't have a job after pulling some shyt like that.

Who's giving 50 million to an artist who hasn't a top 10 hit in 4 years (Dead and Gone)?

haha I knew someone would call me out for that post. youre right I was just being a dikk. T.I's best years are behind him though and he has 0 crossover appeal.

He ain't getting 50 mil. But he has enough of a fanbase to go independent. Which is most likely what he meant. "I'll be independent until I get a deal I think is worth it"

Right. In the video he clearly said the 50 mill would be inclusive of pretty much all his revenue streams including his albums, publishing, tours, merchandise, films, etc, etc. "if you want to participate in ALL 8 of those areas, then I need 50 million, but if you ONLY WANT 1 or 2 of those the price is 10-12."
Tip doing alot of stuff besides rap though.
Before all the jail shyt he was up there with hov, wayne, kanye, drake level
Now he on that ross, jeezy, nas level, plus I think he still got the ablity to go plat again.

It's for him, and his label imprint.
what rapper who aint had a top 10 hit in 4 years sells 179k his first week out?
he had a better first week than 2Chainz,Meek, Wiz,Lupe and Game... only rappers with better ones were Kendrick, The GOOD Music comp.,Ross and Nicki

he has 0 crossover appeal now is what Im saying. You think any of these tweens who 100% control whats on the radio know who the fukk T.I is?
as an A an R, IT employed criminal lawyer who drives a lambo on a bad day and smashes 12's in any area i say he wont get 50. if someone bites he may get 30.
