Why don't this dude Dom Kennedy have a deal?

[Jards]

Dude's a star:



Dre needs to sign him to Aftermath. I reckon he could do some damage over there.

Not too sure why he hasn't signed yet. He did say he had an offer from MMG

Source? I would've thought he would've he's taken that cause dude loves Rick Ross- he was almost trying to be the west coast version of him on yellow tape.

He went quiet after he dropped yellow tape last year. After laying low for so long I thought he was gonna announce a deal or something.

"It's all true [that I've been courted by MMG and Interscope] - at this point, any company that you can think of has hit us up or has an offer on the table. Obviously, it's not the right one…we definitely talking numbers. That's the whole conversation. [I'm thinking] $2 million. And they don't even got that, but you can ask for it, all they can say is no. [But] if you call with $2 million, we could probably shake hands.

Props bro.

@DaveyDave- Yeah indie can definitely be good especially with the shytty 360 deals labels are giving artists these days. I think Dom's touching on that when he's talking about that $2 million figure to sign him to a major as he's eating nice independently. I think with the right situation though (a la Kendrick and Aftermath), the exposure he'd get would do him favours longer term. That's why I'm saying would be dope for him to sign to Aftermath after seeing what they did with Kendrick- Dre being an L.A dude would be beneficial to Dom as there would be an understanding of what he's doing then it's about translating that to the mainstream. People are gonna bring up Bishop Lamont or whoever the fukk but them dude's ain't got star potential like Dom K. Maybe he ain't on Dre's radar though.....

I think he just refuses to take a shytty deal.

This is just it, I suspect. I'm sure he could get one of those new artist slave deals with any label he wanted at this point.

Dom is still building his brand, he appears to be living comfterbly and not pressed to sign to anyone

 

[wutang512]

I know he's said in a couple of songs Interscope was trying to get at him several times.

 

[Fmju]

Dom out here usin his head

But not really cuz if he would have put out his new tape last month he'd definitely have that $2m+ deal, barring it not bein garbage though

 

[JP_614]

nikka still making good music

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Interscope wants him badly but he's smart for not taking it because the number of albums was shytty & he already is making good money...

 

[CDoty]

because son just raps really good about taking your bird
