Cash Money Chronicles: Blueface is signed to four different labels. Never saw his paperwork.

[DapMeUp!]

It's 2019 and Nikka's is still signing contracts without reading them?
After decades of examples for reference??

I get the argument of how he should have done better, read more, taken more time, etc...

but what leverage did this kid have, at the time anyway, to sign a BETTER deal than whatever he has now?

its not like the kid was a proven successful independent with an engaged, cult-like fan base. he basically paid to go viral, and any buzz around him was flash-in-the-pan, novelty based. word of mouth spread that he was a rapping human meme, and people clicked play to see what was so funny. he was lucky to parlay that into a legitimate deal

its not like he is a one of a kind talent adding something revolutionary new to the game. people like this are exactly the types you'd expect to sign a shytty deal...

and on top of that, outside of the number of people involved, we dont even know if his deal is actually bad. hes lucky anyone is interested at all and lucky to have finessed the internet and general public into listening. hes playing with house money, basically

Birdman and Wack are involved. They know he didn't read the contract and you questioning the legitimacy of the deal?

Secondly, he is exactly the type of artist that should be independent for the reasons you stated.
If he is just flash in the pan and he won't be around for long, he should be milking this moment by himself until the wheels fall off keeping all of the proceeds

He shouldn't be tying himself down or splitting that money however many ways and signing a slave deal that's going to keep him locked in.

We have seen this way too many times. you don't even have to look far back Uzi locked in and regretting it right now

@eastsideTT it's not so much about reading it to make sure he gets an amazing deal. You're right, he prolly didn't have much leverage but someone reading over it might catch the little details in there that fukk him over that could be negotiated down, or out.

Puffy talked about shyt like this before on some 'if I slip some extra shyt into the paperwork and you don't question it or read it, it ain't my fault'

And you can be sure wack and birdman ain't in there crafting the most reputable paperwork for him.

If blueface stays getting ''gifts" from wack, birdman or the label then we know breh getting taken for most of his loot.

Blueface = Dumbass

The dumb thing is that...he had options. A LOT of them. This is not some dude from broke country bumblefukk Georgia trying to make it and signing some shytty deal with an ATL label to move to the big city and get money. This dude is a tall light skinned nikka from LA, who bytches LOVE. You can't turn that into money and build a movement? The blueprint is right there, breh. He was releasing shyt independently to start but apparently it was only one mixtape. You know how easy it would have been for him to be doing shows nonstop in LA and Oakland, release a couple tapes, get some big local features (Nip, Snoop, Kendrick, Q, etc) and thrive on the west coast before getting some type of distribution deal...or hell, even signing with a big label but with a better contract?


I got no sympathy for this dude. You aren't from the trap. You aren't from the gutter of the gutter in some southern town. You're in LOS ANGELES.

Wack is probably lowkey extorting these dudes in some fashion

these days i'm not surprised if these "viral" artists are signed before they even blow up.

i saw his crippin video months ago and it had a lot of views back then too, wouldn't shock me if he got signed back then

 

[360dagod]

These kids get the we family line and the "perks" that come from that...wash/rinse/repeat..

Birdman been running the same play since he started

 

[Juneya]

he just didn't want to discuss birdman with them... none of they business...
