Even if he did put in work, it's the new Internet fame age we live in where we hype up one song and then keep it moving. There's always someone else next in line with a radio hit-friendly song to turn our attention to. I wish him well but I guarantee in about a year and a half Bobby gonna be remembered for nothing but that dance. Get it while you can.

Edit: And out the whole internet fame crew of Kreyshawn, Trinidad, Bobby, etc., All Gold Everything was clearly the hugest hit. That song was everywhere. Trinidad had dudes making murals of him and shyt. I remember all the NBA players were tweeting him and c/s him. He had the crazy ass persona and look that rap loves these days too. If Trinidad couldn't make it, it looks really bleak for all these future rappers who got their rise up off internet fame.

I wonder how much of that 1milly advance did Def Jam recoup lol. He wasn't doing many shows so there wasn't much cash from that, and he didn't really have a noteworthy single after All Gold Everything so no cash from that.

Broke with no fan base and no catalog to tour. Time to sell the jewelry breh

Maino....won
:ohhh:

brah...thas not how deals work. 2million is around a 80k advance...that 2million is to create the album. Def Jam recouped that 80k advance just from the all gold everything single cuz that went gold. 500k units sold is around 320k after itunes takes their cut

I thought he got a 2mil deal with close to a 1mil advance. 1mil for the album creation 1mil for him. Could be wrong.
