Bobby Shmurda Wants Out Of His Deal With EPIC “....I thought they were going to come for me"

[Field Marshall Bradley]

But you have no problem with rappers like bobby schMURDA making songs that celebrate killing other black men and selling drugs and poison to the community??

 

[Charlie]

nikkas stating the obvious wit the he shouldn't be looking for help from Epic statements. Still he a kid, and its way too many people finding satisfaction in a kid going to jail in the prime of his life.

Jail sucks brehs.

kid

Um , yeah....kid...Bobby is just a KID...randomly picked up by the cac popo...

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.

Its because too many young nikkas don't respect the ones who paved the way for them. I see it all the time on the coli. Those artists are .


If you don't learn the history of your trade, you may just repeat that history.


But Bobby Schmurda is young so I sorta feel bad for him. A major step to becoming a man is learning personal responsibility. Too bad he had to learn it this way.

Mr. Pollard said Mr. Clervoix has since visited him in jail, but said that the executive would not say whether Epic would help supply the collateral necessary to secure bail, typically a small percentage of the bail plus fees

If I read this right, Epic can get his ass out of jail for just a small percentage of the full bail plus fees but them Cacs still dont give a shyt. Ofcourse they are not obligated to do that but if you can get your employee out of jail for a small amount why wouldnt you. That stupid ass nikka can generate them cacs more money out then in but they still decide to let the boy hang

 

[CashmereThoughts]

These crackers are cutthroat and cowards.

They here to market his music. They don't insure him against the stupid situations he finds himself in. Your job gonna put up bread to get you out? I didn't think so.

They didn't cut his throat. He cut his own

I understand artists being too lazy to read contracts.

But they been getting cliff notes for the past 20 years, between songs and interviews, you gotta be like before I sign anything let me have a lawyer read over this. That's what Ice Cube did when Jerry Heller put that bullchit contract in front of him. Dre was dissing Cube, but was getting screwed the whole time.

2015, and the cycle continues, smh.
