Game is the worst businessman in hiphop history. How can your debut album drop and sell 5 million worldwide and you don't pivot off that buzz and get your own label off the ground. Jeezy got his shyt off the ground and he has no international appeal or record sales that come close to Game's. In fact has Game ever had a BWS artist on any of his albums? I think he had 1 song on his last album that had BWS artists on it but that ain't shyt saying he's going on his 5th album. Dude is either selfish and don't want any of his artists to get on and get bigger than him or he is absolutely dumb when it comes to business. Luda got DTP off the ground with less album sales. Mack 10 got Hoo-Banging off the ground with less album sales. shyt Warren G was even able to get a Twinz album out on G-Funk records back in the day. To sit here in 2012-13 without a BWS artist ever having a album come out under that label is incredible. You have to work very hard to fukk up that bad. Most labels be begging artist to distribute their label if their debut album moved that many units.

has Stat Quo even brought out Statlanta yet?

Yeah it dropped on Sha Money XLs label a couple of years back, was pretty dope. He didn't get to keep any of the Original Aftermath material though. Check out "Spaceship" and "lie to you" on YouTube, dope tracks with that aftermath sound.

Especially with how popular he still is in Europe, can you imagine if he had created Blackstreet Records after Documentary dropped, and had a European branch of it with a couple British artists or some shyt? Dude would be rolling in dough now

Prob just an embezelment scam to get bread. Ask Dmx bout bloodline hell tell you. Sign a label deal get some bread never put out artist and keep the money. Game had Blackwell street and didnt do shyt. Maybe I'm wrong but these are secrets to game plenty of rappers had "lAbels" with signed artist and never released a project.

I think dudes a terrible businessman too, but dont forget he had 50 pullin his shyt behind the scenes tryin to get him blackballed. Dude was lucky to get on Geffen and have Doctors Advocate and LAX released at all.
