Album was decent. Reminded me of a focused Trey Songz

Why should he if they're going to lose money?

If Def Jam is losing money on this project then they're doing something wrong. Imo 50k-60k should be enough to recoup. They're not giving million dollar budgets anymore. By the end of the life cycle this should sell over 150k copies

You make a compelling point that Def Jam would be acting strange with the change. :ohhh: Maybe you're right. :obama: . Hope those Def Jam cacs are shrew businessmen.

Breaking down the numbers I don't see how or why they would spend more than $300k-$400k on this project and that's on the high-end

I think he said he had a lot of his album done before he even got to defjam if I recall correctly. He did about the same as YG,i still think Def Jam fuked that project up,seems like its a lot of singles left on it....YG aint the most charismatic salesman either,or even all that interesting of a interview so that's a challenge tryna sell em,but that music should speak for itself:banderas:...When a sidechick bought me a copy:banderas:,quickest way to a mans heart is with a classic cd:noah:

50,000 copies X $10 = $500,000 - $250,000 budget = $250,000 and after paying everybody out then left with $150,000 and anymore sells are gravy. :obama:
