But never blame white labels for chingy or j kwon or dj unk or shawty lo I can go on.
French is going hard cause he has a mind of his own.
The only artists that survive are the ones that take matters into their own hands.
Fact is most rappers dont make it period it really aint the labels fault. Red cafe and french still out here.

diddy is a snake and he promoted the image of a family. plus as a black man himself, he should know better than to exploit young black artists. it's pretty much exppected from (white) major labels, that's the difference.

he hasnt exploited anybody if you dont have the drive to make the label work for you, you'll never make it whether the ceo is black or white

:stopitslime:he exploited everybody on his label and gave them shytty deals, overcharged them for production and videos etc. plus, after no way out was released, he was way to focused on promoting himself than his brand and his artists. maybe some of his artists were lazy, but not all of them. they were mostly young and badly educated though, and therefore easy to exploit.

Chingy, J Kwon & DJ Unk had your standard deals, also, keep in mind that its expected for white labels to give black artists shytty deals but someone with as much money as Diddy & resources could really help people out but instead he uses the same "white tactics" on his own people & has made a fortune at others expense...

I used to kinda hate diddy, but I realized that labels sign TONS of artists who don't even get to release singles. much less albums.

Its a tough industry, and he's honestly given life to a lot of careers.

Its a business and if you work with him, you should know what you're getting into.

A lot of those artists may not even fare much better with more "mainstream" labels

White label execs that are in the forefront get the blame but they're rare. Diddy puts himself out there, so people have a name to attach to it. With white labels most of the execs play the back, so nikkas blame the company instead of one man usually.
nah mean?

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
read up before you comment.. white label owners weren't chilling with you in the studio, calling you family, saying this is forever... meanwhile coming through your video in their bentley... then charging you an appearance fee and another charge for having that bentley in the video... making you pay a producer out of your budget, coming in at the last minute and adding some strings, then charging you for his "production"... adlibbing your songs, then charging you for the adlibs


there's a list of things he did like this.. that went far and above just "normal" label tactics.. and the only reason he was able to do this is cause his artists weren't educated until they checked the money and found out.. what kind of "family" does that to you

puff is the biggest maggot peice of shyt
in the industry.
big's death was a launching pad for his
ego......he'll never let another artist on his
label outshine him,if a artist from sunflower seed
missisippi had a hot single that fakkit is running
to get on it,try to get that artist to sign and then try
to take credit until that artist fall off and then he's
off to stand near the next artist that's hot.
he's the king of throwing rocks,hiding his hands
and then closing it out with something about God.
every day that he breath is a L for hiphop.
