lol this reminds me of a story one of my friends told me about...he use to work at some accounting firm from 2000 to 2006, and the company he worked for use to always get contracted to do accounting stuff for record labels...apparently it was cheaper for someone else to do it than for the labels to have just a straight up accounting department then, but anyway, he told me irv use to just straight jack someone budget and spend that shyt like it was nothing...he said all the "record execs" use to do it, but Irv would take THE WHOLE BUDGET...
Anyone remember that rapper Cadillac Tah? My homeboy said that for whatever his first album was he got like 110,000 for it or something. That was for production, mastering, videos, the whole nine. My homeboy said Irv got that check on a thursday and was flashing around the office like...
Irv: Yall boys want to do vegas this weekend

My homeboy (really square as nikka):

Some other random nikka Irv hung out with:
He told me they caught a flight that night...Irv called some dude and was like "I don't care what it cause I got a 100 k on me it's whatever"
He said they went to Vegas and just straight blew that shyt on gambling, strippers, and coke...it's funny because he was always a straight laced dude but when he was working at def jam you could tell it was taking a toll on him...nikka started looking like his skin was made of strawberry jam
Anyway he said the Cadillac dude was all pissed after he finished his album and then got told that he couldn't get paid until his budget got recouped...
Cadillac : budget? what the fukk I didn't get any money at all from yall
Def Jam / Murda Inc soul stealing virgin tear drinking record execs: we gave you and irv a 100k for the budget, so you won't get paid until we get that back
Cadillac:

Irv:
