Banks second album getting leaked derailed his whole career and it didn’t fully recover
You couldn’t have told me in 03-05 Banks wouldn’t be a hands down top 10 GOAT when it was all said and done
Who’s method of dealing with ex-crew members is the best in your eyes 50 Cent Diddy or Jay…this YouTube short made me think of this question 🧐

More often than not I tend to take that L.
Banks was fukking nice. That leak was disastrous.
How the fukk did he let that happen
Logic over emotion and understanding that it's business. You got what you bargained for.

Ok show up in 1990 at a label. Nobody knows your face. Name might ring locally. You need to get on radio? Make a demo? film some videos? It's gonna cost the label 10's if not hundreds of thousands. All you have to leverage is your talent not resources. So you give up cuts of future earnings to get money behind you. AFTER you are successful that deal you signed broke start looking funny. You wish you didn't give up as much or your pub etc etc but you had nothing to leverage besides your talent.
You didn't come with a product ready to ship, a home studio where you didn't need industry standard recording budgets or have access to gatekeeper channels like TV or Radio, DJ without the label network. So gave you loans aka budgets Now that they have footed the bill for all that and charged you back with interest you feel a way but that's the game you had to play to make it. That was the shyt back then. Now your label head is the devil because he beat you at the negotiation table.
Do artists get raped? Yes many times but often it's not that black and white. Same artists calling puff a devil get in a time machine go right back to that table with the same lack opportunities while broke and they will sign that deal again. That's reality. That's the game. Don't make nobody a devil. Those deals were signed under duress of poverty not a gun to the face. Those are the breaks. Retroactive outrage is en vogue and corny. Same old narratives. These dudes were shrewd business men. Jay is a nikka that shot his own brother over a chain and sold crack to other Black people but it's his music dealings that make him a sketchy? Man stop running with other people's narratives cuz putting your own thought behind shyt should have you see clearly. You got a bunch of capitalists who wanted it by any means and the irony is if they made themselves on the streets nobody would be taking this shyt. It should not go unnoticed that Puffy has more bad pub than a big meech, Never heard Meech called the devil. What a poisoned culture with a fukked up perspective.
I agree with what your saying, but puff is black and he knew the game. We all understand the joos and cacs stealing but when it's our own ppl it's wild as fukk to me. He should of gave them dudes a better deal from rip IMO. But I get it, this is a capitalist society and they got, got at their own "game."
Poverty is duress bro
That's a gun to the head of a young kid trying to get put on.
50 paid all his artist and then some
Meech took care of his ppl
Puff robbed his ppl
