Birdman has high hopes for 2012. During an interview with XXLMag.com, the Cash Money Records CEO revealed that he’s looking to release 16 albums of different genres on YMCMB this year, including full-length LPs from Nicki Minaj, Bow Wow, Lil Twist and Limp Bizkit.
“I think bringing Fred and Limp Bizkit to the team gives us a different look,” he said. “We dominate rap, but we’re also trying to grow in different areas; Pop, rock, gospel, country.”
Baby emphasized his vision to expand Cash Money beyond Hip Hop boundaries. He recently revealed plans to for Limp Bizkit on the imprint, a move that puts them in rock territory.
“We’re a brand and we don’t want to be categorized as one type of brand,” he said. “I think we’re a machine and we activate and were active as a machine. I thought this Limp Bizkit move would be big for us as a brand and a machine.”

So Icy boy the gayest of Trolls
Nicki is no Greek Philospher.
Well he says they run rap, but they certainly do not run Hip-Hop. They will never be Hip-Hop, not when they continue to make bubblegum songs and act fake all the time.
YEAH RIGHT! WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER FAG. YOU ARE GOING TO TRY TO TELL ME THE CARTER SERIES (BEST ALBUM SERIES EVER, FACT!) , PINK FRIDAY, FATHER LIKE SON (THE ORIGINAL WATCH THE THRONE) AND THANK ME LATER AREN’T HIP HOP? YEAH RIGHT! HAHAHA! YMCMB STAY WINNING AND YOU STAY HATING.
not really the BluePrint series has sold more bitch
keep your 16 garbage albums
The sad thing is…Cash Money used to run Southern hip-hop. Apparently they’re not trying to reclaim it. (name ONE New Orleanian-other than Mystikal-they’ve signed in that huge wave)
REJUVENATED COMING SOON!
FREE BG
FREE TURK
YMCMB IS BETTER THAN DEATH ROW IN THE 90’S. YMCMB IS BETTER THAN ROC-A-FELLA EVER WAS.
YMCMB IS BETTER THAN AFTERMATH EVER WAS. ALL AFTERMATH EVER HAD WAS EMINEM (A CLOSET HOMO) AND 50 CENT (FAKE GANSTER). YMCMB HAS LIL WAYNE (A BLOOD) THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND BABY (THE BUISNESS MAN EVER IN HIP HOP). NICKI MINAJ IS THE BEST FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIME AND DRAKE IS THE BEST R&B AND RAP COMBO RAPPER EVER. NOONE CAN DISPROVE THESE FACTS.
Riddle me this…is YMCMB better than Old Cash Money was in the late ’90s-early 2000s?
Homie. Take all of the albums YMCMB… hell with it, all the albums CM (all-time) have put out, and they still fall short of what 3 guys over at Aftermath did. And all of that jazz about GOATs, close your mouth.
lmao eminem is a closet homo huh
1. Wayne has Never and I say again NEVER wrote anything on his OWN…
2. Nick is a redone LIL KIM, Kim also called herself BARBIE, 1 of Kims Videos was about putting BARBIES together.
3. Drake is the only rap/r&b artist out…
4. For u to say that ymcmb is better than any of those music companies ur just DUMB… 2Pac better than YMCMB
Jay Z better than YMCMB, Em and 50 better than YMCMB…
i think thats fuckin stupid. they’re rich and successful cause they focused on rap and put out hot records. if they loose that focus especially thier main foundation (rap) they’re gonna crumble.
TEENA MARIE HAD A ALBUM ON CASH MONEY. THE FAM ALSO GOT CHRIS RICHARDSON AND JAY SEAN KEVIN RUDOLF AND ISRAEL CRUZ
fags
These guys are all about quantity… Put out just 1 album, but let it be good, quality music for change. I’m not even hatin’, just sayin’… Fuck YMCBM
what a fuckin puppet. This nigga aint smart enough to be the CEO of anything
I WILL TELL U RIGHT NOW 16 ALUMS AINT GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HIT FOR YOUR ALBUM TO COME OUT. THE ONLY NIGGAS THAT WERE ALLOWED TO PUT OUT A ALBUM WITH OUT HITS WAS GLASSES MALONE AND MACK 10 AND I AINT EVEN GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE POLITICS BEHIND THOSE TWO EVEN BEING ON THE LABEL. BUT SOMETIME BIRDMAN GOT TO DO SHIT FOR OTHER REASONS
THAT BEING SAID THE YMCMB MOVEMENT WILL CONTINUE IN FULL EFFECT THIS YEAR GO GET THAT TYGA CARELESS WORLD
13 LETTERS YMCMB OVOXO MMG
THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL.
your a big bald fag go fuck lil wayne on a bed covered in 100’s
Half of these albums won’t even be released and all of them, except Wayne and Nicki will flop.
this is getting ridiculous. What makes Baby think any Gospel artist would sign to a label called “Cash Money”. He thinks he can actually rides Drake, Weezy and Nicki’s success into these other nobody artists. Even if Bow Wow comes with a quality LP he won’t sell big numbers. And Nicki has completely sold out and is on her way out.
Simple math. Which is more lucrative; album sales or publishing. Today artists are hip to the publishing game so the labels can’t get over with that in the long run. Maybe that is why the popcorn fly by night acts are more prevalent today.
It’s pimping 101; nobody wants an old hoe (artist). Real pimps want hoes that everybody wants to fuck – they know the money will come. Not them old tired hoes who want more money for less work. Much worse your seasoned bottom bitch (older artist)can monkey-wrench your game and up your young hoes (artists) on game or even cut a deal and introduce them to a new pimp (label).
nice comparison..good way to put it!!
that means 16 push backs for ymcmb
U MEAN PUSH INS (GET IT)
Y’all can’t hate on YMCMB but since Tha Carter they bn running the game, some people are just mad cause rap ain’t the same as the 90’s. The 90’s wasn’t nothing but gangsta rap and that shit is old and boring. This generation is based more off the music than how gangsta u are, people jus wanna here music that’s fun, and music u can relate to
dude go suck yourself they are a bunch of talentless fucks.
OUT OF ALL 16 ALBUMS I WILL LIKE 0 OF THEM
Yet your bitchass was so curious as to what Birdman is doing that u visited his article, LOL U male groupies never seem to amaze me they follow YM’s every move just to keep their name in there mouth all day long.
niggas on this site need to stfu with the hating,,
#REAL TALK
da 16 best sellin albums of da year. YMCMB swag
#LIMPBIZKIT
U MEAN DA 16 WORST CRITIC RATED ALBUMS ymcmb SWWW…FAG!!!
Critics don’t know what the fukk they talking about. If you go by what critics say you should be looking for that next Miley Cyrus album faggott.
^^^BITCH CRITICS ARE ON POINT WHEN RATING HIP HOP ALBUMS U MAD BECAUSE IT EXPOSES ALOT OF YMCMB TRASH THAT IS RELEASED ALSO WHY U QUOTING MILEY CYRUS YOUR A UNDERCOVER FAG
Folks if this happens, your looking at the modern day plague.
What Gospel singer would want to be on a label called Cash Money?
A gospel singer who will be more interested in singing the praises of the good book and not what you think of a Cash Money name for a label.
tyga is the first of many flops
not really 65k and most got pulled of major shelves because of a sample not bad.
“We dominate rap,” lmao
HEY YMCMB KILL CRTICS SAID TAKE CARE WAS ON OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR
BUT WHO CARES ABOUT CRTICS CHECK THE SALES
JAY Z SAID “MEN LIE WOMEN LIE NUMBERS DONT”
QUALITY NOT QUANTITY DUMB FUCK
As much as i hate this fag YESSIR he’s right, u cant sell a large quantity of music without it being good quality dumb ass think about it dick head
^^^HAHAHAHA REALLY WAS C4 GOOD QUALITY SMH THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK DUMB SHIT
what u haters still havent figured out is, it doesn’t matter how bad your taste is they have only got better. kill yourself
and the funny thing is that unless 3 of those 16 albums belong to Nicki, Wayne, or Drake, then they’re not going to sell for shit. YMCM, a label with 80 artists, but only 3 of them can actually sell.
I dont understand how baby can be this mogul… and yet after all these years he still cant put together a proper sentence..I think were a machine and we activate and were active as a machine.”… I think if he just said we are active like a machine, he might actually sound like he finished 3d grade… i seen special ed students talk more proper than this guy.
money talks education will always be secondary
i know u stunna
i know you wouldn’t say nuthin like dat
16 tax write offs. smart…
You know, i dont think rock fans would like Cash Money spillin over into their genre. Im excited to see how this expansion plays out over the years because this shit is ridiculous.
16 trash albums? Fuck you you dumb ass nigga! We dont want to hear your week ass music no more, so take you money backed music and shove it bitch
“Birdman Hopes To Release 16 Weed Plates On Cash Money In 2012”
That’s a more appropriate title for this article. Besides, what respected country or gospel artist would sign to Cash Money?
We don’t wanna listen to wack music, all YMCMB songs is trash,
FUCK YMCMB
Please all this homo is gonna do is steal their money,, get them hooked on drugs & molest them. Did anybody notice he didn’t mention Jae Millz after 5 yrs of sitting on the gay label. More trash they are trying to shove down everybody’s throat.
GOSPEL? THE FUCK OUT HERE BIRDMAN GO KISS YESSIR IN THE MOUTH OR SOMETHING,
