so funny
Let's see ...
Drake got a $2 million advance (which Thank Me Later probably paid off quick as hell). All of his publishing rights, and only pays 25% of his sales to the label as his distribution fee.
"I actually signed directly to my managers Cortez Bryant and Gee Roberson," Drake explained. "And we signed a joint venture with Young Money which is Lil Wayne's company.
He has his masters and basically all these companies do is distribute his music. His deal probably looks a million times better than Pusha's. As a fan of both, I don't see where the hate on Drake is coming from.

He signed to two nikkas who signed to another two nikkas who are signed by some more nikkas
I dont doubt it, but then again you'll be surprised, with rappers you can't never tell.
Yah.
A distribution deal. I just don't see how Pusha can clown him, not like this nikka signed a 360 Deal. Drake has his own tour and everything, Pusha opened up for Future.
But the line fits, sure.

Creep.
HipHop Since 1978 gets a cut, Wayne gets a cut, Baby and Slim get a cut, Universal gets a cut, J Prince was executive producer on Thank Me Later, so he got a cut...
So I don't know if I believe that. 50 Cent only got a $1 million advance at pretty much the height of the record industry. I've read that Def Jam spent $3 million on MBDTF, an album from an artist who had proven himself as a platinum seller four times(and it was way over budget). So for a label to give someone who hadnt proven anything that kind of an advance in this fukked up economy makes me a little skeptical.

I'm assuming all the people clowning Drake for this are their own bosses and don't work under anyone else right? 
Yea Im not going act like I know the industry but like you said, the line fits.
