Yeah it seems so, I don't know what that "seven-year rule" is though

Section 2855(a) limits the length of time personal service employment contracts may be enforced to a period of seven years, which is why the entire statute is often referred to as the “Seven Year Rule.” It states that a contract for personal service of a “special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, or intellectual character,” like those in the entertainment industry, “cannot be enforced against the employee beyond the term of seven years from the commencement of service under it.

This shyt us unbelievable. The man with the talent is getting shytted on in life. This shyt isn't right.

The jew made a fortune off him.

I remember when he made Forbes list for bringing in $7 million. He made the comment that he didn't know about it because he hasn't seen it. This ordeal explains that comment because he was getting fukked all along.

I remember Rick Ross was trying to sign him but Ross said that he was too loyal to his label. I took that as a compliment. Now we learn that he was tied down since the age of 16 to his label.

I wonder if curren$y got that same deal with warner? :jbhmm: He be touring his ass off as well. Explains the "spitta andretti" moniker for his mixtapes or unofficial albums(drive in theater, new jet city). Warner cant make money off that "spitta andretti" moniker, because technically its a different rapper from curren$y. :ohhh: Dame Dash was right about warning spitta about not signing to a major

Mac Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malcolm James McCormick was born on January 19, 1992, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Karen Meyers, a photographer, and Mark McCormick, an architect.[2][3] His father is Christian and his mother is Jewish; Miller was raised Jewish and had a Bar Mitzvah.[4][5][6] He was raised in the Point Breeze part of Pittsburgh.[1][7] Miller attended Winchester Thurston School and Taylor Allderdice High School.[8] In high school, Miller decided to focus on his hip hop career, later noting, "Once I hit 15, I got real serious about it and it changed my life completely ... I used to be into sports, play all the sports, go to all the high school parties. But once I found out hip-hop is almost like a job, that's all I did."[1] Miller, a self-taught musician, plays piano, guitar, drums, and bass.[1][9]
