They not taking that much time to verify a statement about an out-of-print album. But you can believe what you want to believe.

I’m glad that BBTP at least still gets royalties from the catalog...it’s sad that some random corporation ended up owning Death Row after suge lost it

No it doesn't mean the album stopped selling. He didn't sell that amount in a month. Da Last Don did eventually sell 2 million copies, but not in a span of a month. This applies to every album that has been released since the RIAA existed.

So that means the RIAA cap?

If the album is at 4x on July 10, 1998, that means the album is still selling, in 2020 when it says 4x for a July 10, 1998 date (a month after its release) then that means that this is a cap?

4x should not still be the number after 1 month... The whole year isn't finished...

As I said, them sites are a cap..what you are saying and what's on their site, doesn't make logical since at all

Damn that now puts everything into perspective of why P has been moving the way he been moving over the last 15-20 years. I thought he been moving like a dude on the come up trying to find whatever hustle that sticks which made no sense to me considering how much he was making during No Limit's prime. I'm curious how the hell a judge determined that Priority overpaid him by so much.

Breh, you're gullible and naive. If anybody capping here it is you. You're too much of a stan to believe that the bumbers on Wiki are bogus, but want to call out an association that certifies albums for every artist in the music industry, but its all cap as it applies to No Limit according to you.

I'm not a stan.

I'm trying to make sense of what you and others are saying about these cap ass sites and their information.

I already told you that I believe that the numbers on Wike doesn't add up..(you can stop that projection) I already quoted a post where wiki numbers were used about the IGTHUP album and it was cap...I said that.

You can't spewing BS about stuff that doesn't make any logical sense.

Huh??

No taking out the time to verify if an album sold a milli or not...The dude is a writer, you don't think he did his homework before he made that statement??

You think the dude just woke up that morning and said, I'ma say IGTHUP sdtk sold 3 in 3? Not 4 in 4, Not 1 in 6 months, but 3 in 3.

Cut it out

It is still the number after 1 month because they still had like 1 million copies on the shelves after a month of sales. Once an album is released, the sales decrease each week exponentially. Albums in the 90's still experiences 40-50% drops after the first week and declined every week thereafter.

June 2nd, the album released- If it did 500k the first week, the next week according to your logic, it would be at 250k and then decline every week.

How does RIAA get 4x if the album is dropping after the first week?

No Limit was basically a ponzi scheme. P would get a big advance from Priority everytime he released a record. Tobin Costen, Master P's manager, said that P's gift was his ability to talk record stores into preordering high amounts of records.

That's a big reason why you got the 23 albums in 1998. He'd give the artist a piece of the advance and keep the rest. Then he kept the publishing for many of them (Big P Music).

Well, after about a year, Priority realized they were getting lots of returns of unsold No Limit CDs and weren't recouping.

Priority got new people running it and they came back and sued for $47 mil. Then BBTP weren't getting paid and they had a lawsuit for backpay. P got stretched and didn't make the payments. He had No Limit file bankrupcy in 2003.

So P basically ran off with millions in advances on Priority and did the exact same thing to Universal Records with his New No Limit record label. That's why he's been effectively blackballed and doesn't get honored by the industry.

Very interesting that Mia X was the one brought Beats By the Pound, Fiend, Mac, Soulja Slim to Master P.

Glad they mentioned Unlv vs Mystikal beef and Cash Money.

Master P was savvy businessman

Because one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Jay was certified 3X platinum for BP2 in about a month. It sold 545,000 copies in week one.

P just smarter than these white label slavemasters

You don't get it. It had already shipped 2 million copies within a month of release. Shipments =/= sales. It took years for the album to sell the amount that it shipped.

@NO-BadAzz
P shipped more than he sold records. Simple as that. He fukked Priority over bigtime
