Sean 'Diddy' Combs returns lucrative music rights to Bad Boy Records artists

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Oh I see.
Artists are never manipulated or strong armed into unfair and bad deals.

They all just willingly went into these agreements and everything is fine.

Interesting take.

That's not what happened tho. Not at bad boy. Signing a contract under duress? Puff had a gun to people? I said the contracts were standard and I also said he freed them before it always legally necessary under copyright law. Y'all ducking that tho. It's not a take it's reality. Puffy went to the music business to do business not reform the industry. He didn't design the game. Tell us who was manipulated or strong armed at bad boy

In the internet age those rights have value. Maybe not millions upon millions like when they were first released but only a fool would expect that. Take the rights and get hustling!

This publishing isn’t worth a damn thing and Puffy knows that. This is nothing but another attempt to stay relevant.

This nkka said Puff givin back his publishing was like Puff givin back his girl after havin 4 kids with her.


I aint kno Curry was a comedian...this nkka was goin in, smokin Puff boots.

That nicca publishing not worth nothin cause he ain’t pop off. I bet mase and faith and the lox happy with theirs back.

Now that Mase has a huge platform and the Keefy D indictment is a realistic possibility....

Puff trying to dump some of his baggage and win the good graces of those that might step up and speak against him.

PR team and lawyers are on overdrive right now. (no, i don't think he's in any legal risk, mostly public image and the ability to do more deals risk)

Yoooooooo

 

[Treblemaka]

He going to give back the money he made too?

 

[Koba St]

If Biggie had never been shot and was still alive, he and Puffy would be mortal enemies by now.

Nah

Thats the problem with rappers and R&b back in the 80s and 90s

nikkas was impressed with joining big record labels at the time white or black, capital, priority, loud, def jam, ruthless, laface, death row, bad boy, etc etc and gave up everything just so they can be on a label and not realizing u gave up your masters and publishing for just to be at the mtv awards and being around celebrities..

that was the game. recording back then cost thousands and thousands of dollars. someone had to bankroll your career

its not accurate to look back with today's standards and discount all of that.

Today's standards aren't great either. They make artists sign 360 deals now. Labels get a piece of everything.

that's by choice, you don't have to sign to a label today. you can bypass labels straight to digital distribution. artists back then didn't have nearly as many independent recording and distribution options. yet people still take poor deals so can they say they were taken advantage of or they make bad decisions?

Good point.
