He did own his masters, but he has been signed to a major label the past 5 years. We found out when the linear notes to his appearance on TI's 2014 album Paperwork showed he was signed to Atlantic.

So yeah when Mailbox Money was relased, Nip was signed to Atlantic. I just saw the Drama post and it was the first time I had personally saw somebody else in the industry acknowledge it. If word had really gotten out it would have hurt the narrative he was pushing.



Death and crime are the best promotion sadly.

:dwillhuh: He was asked about it on the Breakfast Club a year ago and answered it pretty candidly.

Yeah I remember him talking about it but up until that time it wasn't mentioned and even when mentioned, it was heavily downplayed how long. The fact is he had major label support for the $1,000 Malilbox Money mixtape and all the other stuff afterwards.

It's not a diss to him, just another example of how certain narrarives are pushed with smoke and mirrors even though they aren't necessarily truthful.

And I say all this with Nipsey being in my top 3 most played Spotify artist the last 3 years.

I meant as far as having the strap. RIP NIP
I always felt like Shyne was in the right in that situation. As the story goes someone was threatening him and Puff and he saw dude reaching for his strap so he popped at him first. It's just a shame Puff threw him under the bus at trial though.
