You are right to an extent...
But if you look at YM/CMB's history of putting artists out after 2005, its not a very high percentage..
Besides the Big 3, it was tyga and thats pretty much it...if we talking young money
Cash Money itself....there is really no roster to speak off
Tyga is easier to push than Cory because his music has more mainstream appeal...
Mystikal was the only nikka who really fukked up..He had the biggest chance outta all and he messed up going back to jail...
No matter how the pie is sliced, the amount of artists that were/is signed to YM/CMB and the actual albums that drop from them is very telling...
From when they had 6shot,mikkey to getting starlito and yo gotti's group to brisco and the list goes on and on
this is cory's 3rd deal..the ship has sailed imo...I know there is a lane for him somewhere....but where that is, i dont know..
IVS
Superstar
Switched to a wack voice and wack "sillyme riddleme energy bynergy" rhyming style. Sh!t was annoying. And nobody was checking for him. He switched it up again....but its Too Late..it's GONE.
i think it bigger than that...
Lets be honest...
nikkas like Cory Gunz or NY nikkas are the hardest to promote in these times...
if your chorus game aint poppin, your DOA right now
If he is shooting vids etc, he is doing his part..
To really get there as a ny artist, you kinda need those extra dollars behind you in this current climate..
YM/CMB not putting no bread behind him until he makes something that "sounds like a hit"..
Which is sad, because hip hop aint all about hooks, but thats where we at with it
You need to be consistent. That's all it is. Joey Badass doesn't have catchy hooks and shyt but he's selling.
Cory Gunz was on a hit song with Lil Wayne. He didn't capitalise, he caught a gun charge and decided to lay low.
I remember when he dropped a song called "Foreign", it sounded like a hit. Breh didn't even drop a video or nothing. Just faded away
The way breh went in on this Lupe track though.... The boy's flow was ruthless.. The amount of talent that was wasted is just 
There's NY artists like Joey Badass and Flatbush Zombies that had no YM level machine behind them and have found way more success than Corey. They put out consistent music, videos, and toured the world off mixtapes. That college/overseas crowd is where it's at. Street artists have to go mainstream for success and Corey isn't a good enough song writer for that.
Cash Money has a poor history of dropping albums from people not named drake,nicki,or lil wayne...
If Joey was on YM/CMB, his shyt would be in the vault as well..
Does Cory shoulder some blame..yes...the gun charge didnt help..
But Ym/CMB just isnt for him...
he needs to go the gille route
That's not fair, they give you the look to get on. You gotta do it. Tyga was shelf then he grinded on the tapes and got his biggest hit.
His own fault really, no team, no work ethic. And catching b.s cases. Usual bullshyt. He had a TV show on MTV, millions viewed. He wasn't going hard with Nick Cannon backing him either? Lol who gives a fukk. Should have stayed n the booth and stayed dropping songs til he got one. Ya buzz don't last forever.

Remember when Affion Crockett did a spoof on Cory and Peter Gunz checked him for it?
