Not a fan of his music ..image or anything...but a hate to see another black man fall..but this is what the old school cats try to tell the younger generation..it comes off as hate cuz one ppl are really tired of c00n image making us look like fools..but we try to tell cats..the music and the artist are disposable..thats why theres no real great music coming out the mainstream..been like this for yrs...but young cats be so intent in proving og's wrong that the whole art is a mess right now as far as mainstream..we just some ppl who love the artform..yall a8nt gotta sound like the 90's but study and see what made the 90's so great...thats the same thing them cats did as far as the late 80's..studying the juice crew era and all that..wu would shout out 88 all the time but their music didnt sound like 88...they just took that influence and improved upon it..

TJ will be fine. He has investments in fashion. The major label rap thing might be a wrap but he will be fine.

Where did he say hes broke? All he said was hes not paying for beats anymore. Makes sense to me. Was he really paying for beats before the deal? You posters are jokers.

Sign a nikka based off internet buzz a place where people don't buy anything and then be surprised when they flop brehs

Nobody signed based off internet buzz will ever succeed to the level labels want them to. Their buzz isn't authentic. Usually it comes out of boredom of people trying to champion something they know is ass out of irony.

how he get broke so fast?

Trinidad James had signed a Joint Venture with Def Jam Records, for approx. $2 Million.[8

He was signed under some management/label that did a joint venture with Def jam. Rich Homix Quan and a couple other artists were part of that venture too. His cut was probably a couple hundred thousand if that. After buying every sneaker possible, paying features etc.. I doubt he is literally broke but I'm not surprised he spent almost all of it
