I stuck up for Joe before and I can see both sides now ... but I'm still riding with Budden
I believe they do make more take home money still ... seeing how they still own their name and publication. I'd still rather build from the ground up (which is already here) and continue to make bread independent betting on my own hand... then sign a bunch of paperwork that allows a company to own and pigeonhole my bread into their liking.
So I think in terms of the long haul, yeah they would see more money if they just made shyt happen more.
Joe's been saying for years... "yall never expound on shyt" "yall never bring actual entertainment to topics" "Rory, you never even check the weekly album drops to review" for going on 2 years now it seems. I do agree now that the Joe side is harsh and calculated...mistakes with a group of people were made as far as representing them as a whole... but if everyone kept building and moving towards other shyt they could own their brand and build off it too. Like people been saying in here, it seems like Mal doesnt want to be there and all Rory does is rant and fukking rave the past few months and then make shyt awkward with that "This is college music" discussion or the English Royalty shyt. Those points were both cool, but he drained the life out of the room both times and its not the first or second time he did that. Sometimes he will beat a point home that doesnt even matter... like nikka all music could be considered college music, you just turn that shyt on
fukking Kriss Kross is college music and they were 14 years old. Miles Davis is college music. The arguing from his got old, I wouldnt be able to just sit there normal when he goes off like that. If its a pod you gotta say your piece and just move on.
its funny how people are making a huge deal out of this
it shows that its working. I love Mal and Rory but I also dont give a fukk if a cardboard cut out and a 5 pack of hanes tshirts is sitting on the couch. You'd be a fool to turn down free money to sit and sip drinks and talk about thots and shyt. If I'm your friend and you're building and structuring moves.... pay me whenever
just keep the bottles on ice and the hoes making guest spots... I'll come through and talk shyt all day. I believe in you and trust the process
for all we know this could be promo for Rorys album and a vacation for Mal. I dont see how talking on a couch and laughing at shyt for money could make me say "nah I'm good fam I'd rather go back to doing whatever it is that I do" Even without the deals going through ... its still like, what were your expectations when you sat on the couch? You definitely didnt believe you were gonna finesse it into 10 million dollars.... that money shyt goes to people's heads and this is a prime example. If none of that deal shyt came up nobody would be fighting or caring. They'd still be on the couch podding for the same amount not giving a single fukk.
