What I'll never understand is why Atlantic would shelve 24K when Cuban Link had Still Tellin Lies blowing up (I think the Neptunes did that beat).
I don't think he woulda been a huge star but at least he coulda got a gold plaque out of that
From my understanding of this Cuban was never meant to drop.
Alot of time big name artist go and get a few artist just so they can get a label deal.
Instead of going to the label by yourself you show up with a few acts and get a bigger check.
Meanwhile you keep most of the check, hype up the artist under you, then leave them hanging while you blame the label.
These artist that are in these cliques are just pawns.
Not saying they are tax write off's but there is definitely an element in the game where someone benefits from somewhere else being shelved.
Say what you want about Cuban being bitter but Fat Joe being named in the suit by Pun's widow is telling.
