So did Ms Wallace sell B.I.G’s masters and publishing and likeness? Because it’s gonna be sold by a unknown

[ajnapoleon]

On Friday (Feb. 28), THR named Primary Wave as the prospective buyer. The rapper's brief catalog is up for $100 million, as are his master rights, which are commanding an additional $30 million to $50 million. According to sources, the deal will encompass 50 percent of both the late rapper's publishing and master rights, with the addition of publicity rights, which include image, voice and other identifiable characteristics like key verses in lyrics. The deal will reportedly close in the next few weeks.


This is gonna be in the hands of a non-black person

Just like

MF Doom notebook




It’s no one around that have that kind of money to buy it and give it back to the kids

I really thought his daughter owned it....

But damn... I guess not.


Edit: you know what. She probably didn't. When she used to sell Notorious brand clothing she had to add an S to the end of the word.

Smh. Damn. Hope his kids get a lil something.

Our legacy always seem to end up in “their” hands

If his family is actually getting the money it doesn't sound like a bad deal. We are at a point where I don't think music is getting more valuable at this point.

Am I missing something? Does it say that in the post?

I read he was worth 10 million when he died and his mother brought the value up to 160 million

The kids should’ve gotten a cut and should’ve been put that money in EFTS

Yep. I just looked it up and the founder of Primary Wave is a white man named Lawrence Mestel. A few months ago I made a thread in The Booth pointing out how Black artists constantly end up having their masters, publishing and images eventually placed into non whites possession and the thread got dumped in the bushes because a bunch of posters ( @Uchiha God & @Awesome Wells for example ) didn't want to hear that truth and got butthurt but yet here we are again.
