They havent even paid the man though.

If they put 10%, they don't get the 200k back.

If they put down the whole thing, they get their money back.

They could advance him 200k & let him record and do shows. Its not even charity. Its buisness.

Breh needs to take responsibility of being part of the team. I hate when people mix business with personal. I know my one o my bosses fukks with me... but if I fukk up, I fukk up. Things have to be done. Bobby bytch went no where, so right then they probably thought they had a one hit wonder on their hands. Why would they put up x amount of dollars into a dying product? Dance on tables brehs.

Artists gets stipends to record. Usually its a monthly stipend after they get their advance to start recording the album. Artists don't pay for anything, all expenses (studio, promo, production) are sent to the record company and the record company has to recoup the costs from album sales.

So technically the label is not giving him money, they are paying him what they are contractually obligated to pay him. Them pledging the bail money was generosity, which does not mix with buisness. This is why Shmurda is sitting on Rickers right now, the CEO does not want to sign off on generosity.

Him struggling to come up with 200k tells me his money is all screwed up. You got artists are letting their publishing checks, show money, and stipends go through their management. Remember his rant on youtube about not getting show money or Lex Luger complaining management is holding his money from records he produced.

Max B went through this too, and had to give up his publishing to get bail money from Jim Jones.

I can't believe its 2015 and rappers still have no business sense like its 1996, even after all the stories of Dre, Pac, and Cash Money rappers getting raped.

So he did not get his money like advance etc? Cool.

Of course they have no business sense. Its the main reason they got chosen to be on the labels. They know marks when they see one.

What makes it worse, management are using some of the same dirty tricks. And Shmurda management was his mom, too.

Pac and Max B they had to keep doing shows and features to get money for their legal fees. So Shmurda better adjust his reasoning, because the label never puts up that kind of money, its usually sharks like Suge or Jim Jones.

You see Puffy did not put not a dime up for Shyne. Shyne was like Puffy has 2 lawyers, he could let me get one.

Young boy better smarten up, you better respect the game. Rappers getting fukked in 2015 like TLC have only themselves to blame.

They smarten up and they dont get chosen. Its a lose lose when you try to sign onto nonblack economy interest labels who just see you as another way to make money and not and not a business partner to make money with.

The only one who is supposed to lose money is the consumer.

Chris Lighty would have, too. Dude went broke putting money out there. Even got a 5 million loan from 50 Cent, that he paid back. Dude really was on it with Violator management.
