http://hiphop365.com/report-birdman-forgot-bow-wow-was-signed-to-ymcmb/

'After TMZ reported the financial struggles of rapper Bow Wow, in which they claim the rapper has just $1,500 in his account and only earns $4,000 a month through his record deal with YMCMB, speculation spread quickly into why a veteran rapper with a decent fan base could earn such a measly amount. But now we might possibly know the reasoning, the CEO of the label doesn’t know who he is.
According to reports, when Birdman was reached by reporters in New York seeking clarification regarding Bow Wow’s reported income , the CEO was seemingly unaware that Bow Wow was actually signed to the label. Birdman had a perplexed look on his face and responded by saying “What that gotta do with me?” it wasn’t until an assistant reminded him that Bow Wow was indeed signed to the label that Birdman acknowledged Bow Wow’s existence.'

Imagine your boss doesn't know who the fukk you are :russ:

lol.. its just as simple as Cash Money may like an artist and sign them.. But its still a partnership in distribution. The distributor aint gonna just distribute a bullshyt project.

Y'all be looking waaaay to deep. Cash Money dont sign all great artists

Slave deals ...on some sharecropper type levels. Keep them hungry, but trapped ...when they bust out a hit, you collect and pay them in gifts and affiliation.
That's the tax-write off (Chains, birthday parties, appearances, old vehicles, etc) ...it's a win for the rappers because they are stupid and don't have any other options or can afford a good manager. Win for Baby because they're minimum risk, high return.

Co-sign @ affiliation

Tyga says he's never gotten a dime from YMCMB

This. Sign them in case they do get hot. Win-Win. Don't put any money into them unless they have a hot feature or mixtape. If that doesn't happen, leave em on the shelf. There's really no downside.

I actually can see the signing of Limp Bizkit. They were attempting a comeback. Its just that Fred Durst and them dudes still cant settle differences. Messed everything up
