The difference between P and Puff is contracts. Some of P's artists never had contracts where Puff's artists were bound by contracts.

People are in here talking about how much of a snake Diddy is and that he took advantage. What people aren't understanding is that this is the music BUSINESS. I don't buy the whole "he took advantage of street dudes" angle because street dudes were some of the most successful in the industry in the 90s. Street dudes should be able to spot a hustle a mile away. That's survival to them.

I was looking through old Source magazines and seeing these guys from the streets owning companies and had millions in their 20's.

These dudes who are being "taken advantage of" be giving up percentages, royalties, and publishing for immediate success. On top of that the label is gambling on their success (in the 90's that million dollar videos, big album budgets, etc). Then when you can't recoup and your next album doesn't get a budget or at worst, you owe the label then its "I thought we was fam" and they hit you with "business is business". They had all of these documentaries on the industry where even platinum artists were just breaking even. They had a platinum plaque, but made no money from album sales.
People get got all other time when they’re out of their element especially when you talking bout 19 year olds.
Stop with that music business chit. Doing people dirty doesn’t have to be the model.

I don't buy the age argument, but when we're talking about business and a dude selling you the "love, family, etc" angle and you buy into it, there's a degree of accountability that one must accept.

The sad part about it is that it IS the model. If you are trying to get a record deal (key word is deal), you are going to be hustled by somebody if you go in short sighted and gullible.

Puff knows that his past sins, will finish him off. His legacy is written in turmoil and hostility.

All of the industry lawyers are in the same circles. Either way you're screwed. Look at all of the shytty deals Combat Jack advised artists to sign. and he was semi-independent.

Thats the x factor....

You gotta be diggin in the crate of crates to find a lawyer thats not in the immediate loop because they all conspire to screw over the artist

the sad part is, Puff has gobs of money and whatever small dollars Mase's pub is still worth in 2020, he should just sell it back to him.

Diddy will never run out of money nor will his kids kids kids. So either sell it back, or stop pretending you're some family guy.

If Biggie had lived he would've left Puff too.

Also, remember that group Dream he had. They had some hit songs in that era but then broke up likely because of bad business deals on Puffs end.

Hell we saw Carl Thomas floating on a makeshift boat in Houston during that hurricane, and all Diddy could say is "prayers up"
