WARNER BROTHERS gave LIL PUMP a 350k advance for a FIVE ALBUM DEAL...
- Thread starter KENNY DA COOKER
- Start date
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
He could have made 350k on YouTube

RIP Fresh RIP Doe RIP Phat
345k is just for the first album brehs, he's gonna get another bigger advance with each successive album.
But at the same time dude is way too big right now to be getting a 345k advance, either somebody is lying down on how much he got or his team really do suck.

What you see, is what you get
Albums are considered "options" in recording contracts LABELS have the right to deny releasing an album based on market change..lack of buzz and stipulations that were not met
Which is why alot of artists LPs stay on the shelf...
And also consider the Advance is not defined as being NON RECOUPABLE which means this is basically a "loan" that Warner will recoup on backend royalties

You right about everything but it the deal is still gonna be worth way more than 345k if he even releases 1-2 more albums.
Label not gonna shelf him as long as he stays relevant, and he's definitely already recouped that initial 345k advance.
For people saying why would he sign that deal, or he could've just toured etc and made money etc. I can assure you that deal was signed before Gucci gang blew up, in fact we probably wouldn't have never heard Gucci gang if he wasn't already signed to a major.

I don't care about a cac getting ripped. 
Bingo!!!
He been in the Warner machine
The Gucci Gang song was being pushed HEAVILY for a few months now and it damn sure wasn't an Indy phenom
I first heard it on a ESPN promo last month
And who yall think paid for that Gucci Gang video shoot at a Catholic School in Los Angeles
Lil Pump’s ''Gucci Gang'' Video Upsets Archdiocese of Los Angeles - XXL
So he's getting a 345k advance on his 1st album plus 15% royalties on the album. Honestly that not as bad as y'all making it out to be. The kicker is whether or not he signed this before or after Gucci Gang and whether they can come after that 15% to pay back royalties.

gonna have to disagree. Almost impossible to fad away in this social media age as you'll always have a growing fanbase.
What about Young Thug?
These youngins already considerding him flabby n sick
Social media has made these artists EXPENDABLE
the difference is...Punp is the only thing popping out of Miami right now. They will support him
Nah..pump signed with the most influential Social Media agency in 2016...
They focus on SoundCloud rappers particularly in South Florida to give them a bigger platform
THA LIGHTS GLOBAL LLC. they were responsible for JU JU ON DA BEAT becoming a success...,
had just turned 16 when he first came to the attention of Dooney Battle, co-founder of digital-first entertainment company Tha Lights Global. Hailing from the South Florida "SoundCloud rap" scene along with contemporaries like Smokepurpp, XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God, the pink-haired teenager born Gazzy Garcia had already amassed over 100,000 followers on Instagram, despite having released only a handful of songs at the time.
"He was the youngest in the wave actually really doing it," says Battle, "and his look was different than everybody else."
Battle, himself a South Florida native, knew what to do: tap his company’s 60 social media "influencers" to spread the music. Tha Lights Global was in the midst of a social-media-driven meme campaign that helped Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall's "Juju on That Beat" reach No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2016. The company is helmed by a tight-knit seven-person team whose members’ average age is in the mid-20s: Battle; co-founder Tim Lowery; head of touring and marketing Troy Heidtmann; A&R chief Miguel Solano; head of management and media Jordan Tugrul; head of talent relations Carliely Veras and head of digital Paula Batson. But the label, management and marketing group’s secret sauce is its network of influencers that reaches a combined 160 million followers across nine different platforms.
Pushing Lil Pump’s songs through SoundCloud and Instagram, these influencers boosted the rapper’s followers on the latter platform from 1 million in June to 5.7 million in November.
Earlier in 2017, Tha Lights Global signed a joint venture deal with Warner Bros. Records, which began marketing Lil Pump’s music during the summer.
