Three new albums shook up the charts, including a new #1. Chris Brown’s fifth album Fortune arrived at the top of the charts, his second straight work to do so in as many years. The RCA Records release includes emcees Nas, Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa. At #14, Flo Rida’s fourth solo album Wild Ones debuted on the charts after two years of chart-topping singles from the Atlantic Records release. Prodigy’s fifth album outside of his Mobb Deep work also debuted, just outside the Top 100. This is the Queens, New York emcee’s first solo release in almost four years. Older 2012 releases from B.o.B. and Big K.R.I.T. gained some strong ground in rankings and sales this week.
#1 Is Chris Brown’s Fortune
Selling approximately 135,000 units, Chris Brown’s Fortune is the #1 album in the country this week. The Virginia Pop/R&B singer’s fifth album includes Hip Hop guests, along with production by The Runners, Tha Bizness, Polow Da Don and Drake affiliate Boi-1da. The latest single is “Don’t Wake Me Up.” This Brown’s second #1 in his career, following 2011’s F.A.M.E.
Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. Trilogy Still In Demand
Mobb Deep’s Prodigy released his third volume of the H.N.I.C. (Head Nigga In Charge) series. This one released on the emcee’s own Infamous imprint, featured T.I., Wiz Khalifa and Mobb partner Havoc. With 2000’s major label-backed debut scoring a Top 20 debut, H.N.I.C. 3 is P’s lowest performance of the trio, selling just under 4,000 units at #105. Production on H.N.I.C. 3 was handled by Alchemist, Sid Roams and Ty Fyffe.

ross stop with the group albums nobody gives a fuck about your fake empire get ready for your flop
you do, you fucking idiot.
^^^ this guy has so much anger is that you officer rickyyyyyy?
i’m with you. rick ross have to die.
mmg will top out at 220k no more than that
wale meek and ross flopped no way i would have belived this 2 months ago what the fuck went wrong? Bawse!!!!
Nothing happened cuz it didn’t flop. They did exactly the number they were supposed to. They’ll outsell the first compilation and have a slew of gold singles off the album. Nothing but sauce for the goose.
mmg flopped plain and simple they on a major label they are not indie
these chicken wings gonna hold me back these chicken wings gonna hold me back
A YMCMB RELEASE FROM ONE OF THERE TOP ARTIST NOT GOING PLATINUM WOW IM SHOCKED
NICKI ALREADY PLAT WORLDWIDE YOU NIGGAS LOCAL WE ARE INTERNATIONAL
FOR THE LAST TIME NO SUCH THING AS PLATINUM WORLDWIDE
you only get certified for the country you sell in
if you want to count worldwide sells then 50 first two albums are diamond
international ahaha not even close international artist sell millions out side of the U.S eminem,50 cent
Sales are what really matter. That’s why it’s still YMCMB day, year, decade. Noone’s gonna stop them boys from eating. It’s over for you nerds so fall back/
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The shit that YMCMB fans say.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DRAKE WON
nobody give a fuck about drake he a r@b artist
THE ONLY PPL THAT SELLS RECORDS IS LIL WAYNE & EMINEM!!!!!! THATS IT!!!!!!
Wayne’s crap label buy his shitty records… It hasnt been on this list in a while either after the first few weeks, which is suspect!!!
Drake has not fallen off this list since last year!
Jay-Z still sells as well everytime he drops.
YMCMB STILL WINNING.
CURRENSY 54 OOO IS SAID TO BE SUCCESS BUT NICKI 569 000 IS A FLOP?
REALLY?
Yep. Nicki flopped because she didn’t do big numbers like she’s supposed to, while Curren$y did numbers he’s supposed to do. Reason why? Hype and promotion. One artist got more hype/promo than the other and didn’t do the numbers it’s supposed to do.
SO HOW CAN CURRENSY FLOPS? WHEN HE SELLS 2K?
HIPHOP IS A PRETTY TOUGH COMPETITION IF THATS SO. I MEAN 54 000 IS NO SUCCESS IN ALL ANGLES,
SO LIL B IS A SUCCESFUL RAPPER GIVEN HIS PROMOTION AND CHRIS BROWN A FLOP.WELL GOOD LOGIC
You are seriously a dumbass. Curren$y doesn’t have any radio singles and isn’t all over TV like pop star Nicki, so doing 50k with little to zero promotion is actually good for a rapper like Curren$y. Also, Nicki is a pop artist and she said that Roman Reloaded was gonna sell 5 million when it hasn’t even went platinum yet.
P.S.: that last comment was stupid as fuck. Nobody knows who Lil B is outside of the internet and Chris Brown has always done these numbers with his promotion. Your logic is stupid.
do you know what the word “expectations” means? or is that too long.
People feel successful when they exceed expectations. I dont know what curren$y expected to sell, but I’m guaranteeing you it was a hell of a lot lower than what nicki expected. Things arent deemed successes or flops based on simple comparisons. they are measured against their own expectations.
Now stfu and stop making hiphopdx seem like a dumber place than it already is
Thank you. Good to see somebody gets it.
no one buying records anymore so sad
YMCMB STILL WINNING.
CURRENSY 54 OOO IS SAID TO BE SUCCESS BUT NICKI 569 000 IS A FLOP?
REALLY?
you must be stupid if you dont understand
31k, isnt that a flop for flo rida? that nigga is such a sellout you dont usually see his name on hiphop sites… maybe he just sells itunes singles???
he has multi multi platinum singles from that album crazy but true
hip hop is dead it had its run numbers for todays top selling artist are weak
oh shut up. you were saying hip hop is dead when drake wayne and nicki were going platinum and gold in a week. and youll be saying the same thing next year when they do it again. stop acting as as if bob’s sale are what finally made you decide hip hop is dead bittter ass nigga.
who said drake and nicki was hip hop? ahahah they POP ARTIST
b.o.b has sold more then 119???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Flo Rida flopped harder than Nicki. Both of them are fucking sellouts. They got multi-platinum singles, but can’t sell albums (even though Nicki went gold, but that’s as far as she’s gonna go.).
FLO RIDA MAKES A TON OF MONEY FROM THEM SINGLES AND TOURS
FAKE!!!!!
not looking good for gfid all the singles flopped mmg tried to flood the market and it didnt work you drop a group album and singles from your solo album at the same time william get that badge ready looks like you gonna need it to bad for meeek you 10 years late .
Chris Brown beatst he shit out of ri ri throws a chair and breaks a window, screams at birds, fights drake and meek millz and hurt up people in a night club and he still win
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE FEMALES
They not as sensitive as your weak ass….bringing up old ish again…ri ri blah blah blah chairs…..stfu sissy
Drake started that fight pussy, get off tha nigga nuts and come to 2012
Wow Nicki still ain’t gone platinum! It must be Roman’s fault. Somebody put B.o.B on suicide watch… he can only muster up 120K albums, even with a Taylor Swift single! So sad, so sad…Time for everbody to hop out of the Maybach and help push it up the hill, the tank is on “E!” All they play is this fat f#$k’s music on the radio and he still don’t sell! Start over man, go on Extreme makeover weight loss edition and just start from scratch.
Funny on the Rick Roast! lol
Lol @ at all these rappers with chart topping billboard singles; BOB, Florida and their likes cant even sell albums. What does that u?
Bravo, Prodigy, it is a official, you are a has been, so now stfu and stop talking about “how it used to be” because it aint like that no mo…
im pretty sure he made more money last week than you make in a year
@ Anon
Doesn’t matter. He’s fallen off as music artist. You can’t give a fuck what Luke makes compared to him because Luke ain’t no music artist. Prodigy is.
this site is full of europeans that think they gangsta calling eacother niggas haha whenn you see the word “noone” they euros the word is NONE.
REAL FUCKIN TALK HAHA
Everyone knows yessir and icy boi are from eastern europe lol.
What about punctuation (or lack thereof), use of capital letters and spelling? Are you by chance European too? Or just homeschooled?
Damn, Prodigy flopped like a motherfucker, he deserved it with that abortion of a record tho
Nobody in the hip-hop community gives a fuck about YMCMB. They’re just pop stars disguised as rappers created by the music industry to make money.
they on a label owned by disney the only awards they get is teen nick awards ahah
Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night
This guy is obviously a YMCMB stan.
prodigy did good on a indie his pockets is ok
carter 4 sold but the album is trash
this just goes to prove that no one value’s flo rida artistically. dude makes the same song over and over and people only buy it because his music good for clubs and dancing. no one listens to flo rida from an artistic, sentimental, or musical perspective. dude found a formula and refuses to deviate or even challenge himself artistically. id rather be a album rapper than a singles rapper.
just like rick ross
I cant knock the man he eating good. His music maybe wack but he found his lane and he is doing very well. I mean I would rather a artist be himself why change the format he didnt come in the game lyrical so why should he go that route. Growing up I didnt want to hear too short or snoop trying to be lyrical. I wanted to hear some pimp shit and gangsta shit. Moral to this story is stay in your lane and you will be ok. Why make a lyrical album when that is not making you money. People like yourself dont buy albums.
Eh I dont give a fuck either way
Go Florida!!! Get that money!!!
i never once said anything about flo rida’s lyrical ability. my point was every song he makes sounds exactly the same. exploring yourself artistically does not mean changing genres or becoming lyrical. but anyone with a brain can tell when a musician has gotten too comfortable and is no longer focusing on artistic progression. and flo rida is one of them dudes.
and miss me with all that “he eating good i cant hate” shit my nigga. nobody hating on the nigga feeding his family. this is about him as an artist not him as a father. so miss me with that he eating shit. a sharpshooter’s family eating as well.
funny thing is, that he raps better than most real rappers out there.
Good joke.
ymcmb caught the new rap virgins at the right time drake got the teenage girls on smash
albums that move units are trash the ones that dont are better to listen to ecxept for mmg that album was trash go get krit,prodigy you will be satisfied
That Prodigy album is garbage, be real with yourself, dude been fell off
lmao @ people equating a lack of success with good music, fuck outta here. prodigy’s turn from greatness to shit is the biggest fall from grace ever.
shady/aftermath soaked up all the rap sales and left you other labels with peanuts
whatever helps you sleep better fam.
rumor is mmg gonna get dropped again
WTF you talking about mmg never got dropped
Yes they did after the triple c album sold 12k def jam dropped mmg
the deal expired with def jam like other artist that was signed to the the labe or any other record label
expired? hahah yeah ok thats a nice way of putting it
banks n Yayo got dropped from Interscope Ross cant get dropped…BOSS
We dropped? you crazy.It’s all on me now, as you can see now
I’m gon’ get this money and I will not be denied
Been shittin’ on you fucks a long time, time to pee now
When you finish first they hate you worse, startin to see now
I’m at the round table, where your seat at?
did bob produce his own album?
about 4 songs…
MMG=FLOP
you kow a artist is pop when 12 year olds know the songs
how come nobody features game on a album?
Cuz he might just go BiPolar after he gets paid for the track and start talking out of his ass like he always do….. ITS GAME OVER!!!!!!!
MMG…NOT GOOD
As of June 24, 2012, the album has sold 613,386 copies
FLO RIDA IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT ALBUM SALES DO YOU SEE WHAT HIS SINGLE SALES DO? HE WILL PUT OUT ABOUT 8 SINGLES THAT WILL ALLGO PLAT THATS HOW HE MAKES HIS MONEY CHECK CLEB NET WORTH FLO RIDA IS WORTH 14 MIL. HE GET HIS MONEY FROM SINGLE SALES AND TOURING OVERSEAS
FAKE!!
Yet his music still sucks.
Florida makes far much money for his label than most artist, having singles that sell like 10million plus every year,
he doin adele numbers only that its with singles dat all sound a like
dats success mehn
Who cares about money/success? The music should speak for itself.
Prodigy got what he deserved. Dropped the worst album of his career and one of the sorriest albums I’ve heard from a rapper I like in YEARS. no one liked that piece of shit HNIC 3 album and no one bought it. That’s what happenss when you shit on the only fans you have left and flip the script. The fans you shot for don’t even know you exist and the fans you had think you look like a clown. Prodigy obviously didn’t get any wiser in the box. Guy is clueless. I’m sure he’ll find more to gossip about and try and cash in on another book like the male Superhead. HNIC 3 full of bad love songs, Prodigy got a little weight in the can and thought thought he could get the LL/Drake ladies crowd. Nice try midget.
“Prodigy got a little weight in the can and thought thought he could get the LL/Drake ladies crowd. Nice try midget.”
DEAD
YOU CAN TALK WHO FLOPPED ALL YOU WANT AT THE HIGHEST POINT IN HIS CAREER RICK ROSS DROPS A GROUP ALBUM AND IT SOLD 12K IN A WEEK THATS THE BIGGEST FLOP IN HIPHOP HISTORY
Wayne and Drake gives the best head. Wayne loves it when you hold his head while he’s sucking dick. Although, Flo Rida looks really sexy, especially when he flex his muscles. I would love to sign him to YMCMB and have sex with him. Chris Brown, on the other hand, is not that sexy. He’s cool with Wayne and all, but he needs to make up and make out with Drake.
#YMCMB
what would be funny is if this was actually the real birdman
Prodigy dominating the game, putting up Adele numbers! MOBB DEEP!!!
Prodigy album dropped? Didn’t even know that…
Hey, what’s up, everyone? This is Big Sean. I just want to let y’all know that the GOOD Music album “Cruel Summer” is coming out in August. And also, look out for Kanye’s next album and my second album, “Finally Famous 2.”
#GOODMusic #IDoIt #Boyyy #Swerve

Typical stan response.
#105. Prodigy – H.N.I.C. 3 – 3,900 (4,000)
RIP Mobb Deep
So, what the news? They been dead since the 90’s.
Damn shame. I’ll attend the funeral service
DAMN JUS LISTENING TO THE SELF MADE COMP THT SHIT CLASSIC…NEED THT NAS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSE ALBUMS NOW..FUCK SALES ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY MUSIC
If you think Self Made vol.2 is a classic you don’t know about quality music.
YALL REALLY TALKING SHIT ABOUT NICKI WHEN BIG KRIT AINT SOLD 100,000 YET? PRODIGY SOLD 4,000 FIRST WEEK?
Who really gives a fuck?
OBVIOUSLY YOU ELSE YOU WOULD NOT COMMENT
Just because Nicki sold more than Krit doesnt mean she’s getting paid for it, Krit can sell less and still make more than her because she is signed to somebody thats signed to somebody else and so on, where Krit is signed to the direct label. Nicki prolli sees a penny or less for every album where niggas thats more independent prolli see a few dollars. And great artist have really never sold more than that bullshit commercial shit except for Em, commercial shit gets more publicity and more play where niggas that really spit gets no type of play unless they dumb their shit down
Were talkin shit about how nicki sucks and can’t rap…she sold some albums unless the sales make her a better rapper you have no argument besides make money make money stay making money
NIC YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND IF YOU THINK KRIT GETTING MORE THAN NICKI. NICK MAKES MORE IN TWO SHOWS THEN KRIT GETS ALL YEAR DOING EVERYTHING
Why are y’all arguing about this? Big K.R.I.T. makes great southern rap.. Nicki went pop. Lol who cares who sells more K.R.I.T. makes BETTER music. Shit FUTURE is outselling KRIT.. tell me that isn’t fucked up.
If the radio/TV only plays YMCMB music for the rest of the century, I would be sooooo happy.
T.I. will do amazin numbers! TroubleMan!! Sept. 4th!
Yeah, he’s in “trouble man,” he can’t get a single to pop. TI is on the way out too, he really lost his momentum going to jail for like the umpteenth time.
quit hatin..Love This Life is doin well on the radio..That is his first and only single..His next wit Lil Wayne will crush the charts..Numbers dont lie! Just wait
Wow, Drake’s numbers look like Wilt Chamberlain’s stats compared to the other artists.
“Krit can sell less and still make more than her because”
Dude, she’s worth $14 million dollars. Class dismissed.
Still don’t make her music better.
“T.I. will do amazin numbers”
Only if he changes his name to Lil Wayne.
ok that was funny
HAHAHAHA damn son I pissed on my underwear LMFAO LOL
well his name has always been t.i. and he has always went platinum and done good numbers..He one of the top sellers in the game including Lil wayne
lmfao @ T.I. stan
PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT BUT CASH MONEY IS GENERATING A LOT OF MONEY, MORE MONEY THEN THEY HAVE EVER GENERATED. THEY ARE STILL AN INDEPENDENT LABEL MAKING $4-5 DOLLARS PER ALBUM SALE. LETS ASSUME $4/ALBUM SALE
NICKI: $2,276,000
DRAKE: $7,240,000
TYGA: $1,028,000
WAYNE: $8,372,000
TOTAL BETWEEN THOSE 4: $16 MILL
NOW ADD TO THAT THEM GETTING $250,000 + PER SHOW, WITH 3-5 SHOWS/MONTH, BIRDMANS NEW DRINK COMPANY, REAL ESTATE COMPANIES, ETC. THEY WILL BE THE FIRST BILLION DOLLAR HIP HOP LABEL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
GOOD JOKE, YMCMB STAN. THEY’LL BE BROKE IN A FEW YEARS.
I JUST SEEN THAT LIL WAYNE GROSSED OVER $40 MILLION FOR HIS TOURS. SO THAT’S AROUND $500,000 PER SHOW. THAT’S ALSO A RECORD, BEATING OUT JAY-Z AND KANYE. CASH MONEY/YM IS GETTING IT DONE, DESPITE THE OPINIONS ON THEIR MUSIC.
I’M TALKING NUMBERS HERE, NOT MUSIC CRITIQUES. IF THEY WERE GOING TO GO BROKE, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED!! FUCKIN BROKE ASS DUMMY.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
MORE JOKES. THEY AIN’T MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS JAY AND KANYE IN TOTAL. LIKE I SAID, YMCMB WILL BE BROKE IN A FEW YEARS BECAUSE THEY SPEND MORE THAN THEY MAKE.
Hey, Delray. Nobody cares how much money they make; YMCMB music still sucks ass. Besides, that label ain’t hip-hop; they’re pop.
Also, Cash Money ain’t independent; Universal owns them.
WAYNE BY HIMSELF SOLD MORE MONEY AND MADE MORE MONEY FROM HIS TOUR THAN JAY-Z AND KANYE. OUTSIDE OF MUSIC ITS A DIFFERENT STORY. EITHER WAY, THAT DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT THESE NIGGAS ARE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
ITS COOL AS A LOSER YOU WANT THEM TO GO BROKE, BUT THE REALITY IS, THEY HAVEN’T YET, AND ARE CONTINUING TO MAKE MORE MONEY. SPENDING MONEY ON THINGS LIKE CARS IS NOTHING WHEN INDIVIDUALLY, YOU DOING MORE THAN $10MILL A YEAR.
Did you not forget that Diddy is worth half a billion dollars? He and Jay Z made more money than all of YMCMB in total. That whole label is only worth $100 million. Check out Forbes if you don’t believe me.
Yo, Delray. You work with CM or something? Their bank accounts don’t make them better music artists. Get off their cocks.Jay and Diddy made more money than that whole label in total.
Money is everything right? They put trash in a CD case and sell it to these kids because the machine wants the kids to buy it.
I feel for all of music minus MMG and YMCMB
I’M TALKING STRICTLY, THE MUSIC BUSINESS. FORBES “ESTIMATES” THAT BIRDMAN IS WORTH $125 MILLION, BUT IN 2010 THEY PUT HIM AT $400 MILLION. OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NO IDEA. ANY RICH PERSON IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS WILL TELL YOU THEY DON’T KNOW THEIR EXACT NET WORTH. I WOULDN’T BE SUPRISED IF BIRDMAN EVENTUALLY SURPASSES JAY-Z, OR DIDDY THOUGH.
You’re insane if you think YMCMB hype is gonna keep going. Jay Money >>> Birdman Money .. not gonna change.
I doubt it. Birdman makes a lot of money off of Wayne, but he spends more than he makes. Diddy and Jay Z are better businessmen.
I don’t give YMCMB two more years of relevance. Really soon they’ll be shit, just like Death Row/Bad Boy/No Limit/G-Unit
ALL THE PEOPLE THESE SO CALLED HIP HOP HEADS SUPPORT HAVE LOW ALBUM SALES, BECAUSE THESE LOSERS DON’T BUY ANYTHING.
If you add in the drug profits…Birdman is the richest.
Haha. Good one.
Delray is obviously another pop music sheep who follows whoever’s popular and ride their jocks. A lot of great artists never had a lot of commercial success; that’s a fact. If I’m a rapper, I’d rather be a legend with longevity and quality music than some hot-at-the-moment pop sensation with commercial success.
WE ALL KNOW DIDDY AND JAY GETTING MONEY, THAT DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT BIRDMAN IS DOING. NEITHER JAY NOR DIDDY PUT TOGETHER A DEAL LIKE BIRDMAN/SLIM DID. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY CASH MONEY IS STILL PUSHING FORWARD WHILE THOSE OTHER LABELS HAVE WENT EXTINCT? ITS NOT BY CHANCE.
BUYING A BUGATTI, AND A FEW OTHER CARS IS NOT EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU’RE PULLING DOWN DECA-MILLIONS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. NOT TO MENTION THAT A LOT OF OTHER EXPENSES ARE WRITTEN OFF THROUGH VARIOUS SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES. DUDE BEEN STUNTING HEAVY SINCE THE 90S AND STILL AINT CAME UP BROKE.
@ANONYMOUS. NEVER SAID I WAS A FAN OF THE MUSIC, STUPID. I ALREADY SAID IN THE BEGINNING I’M TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY ARE MAKING. A LOT OF GREAT ARTISTS DON’T UNDERSTAND BUSINESS, WHICH IS WHY THEY END UP DYING BROKE, AND GET RAPED BY THE MAJORS.
Blah, blah, blah, Birdman makes money, blah, blah, blah, Cash Money. That’s all you’re talking about. And how they managed to last? Luck. They were lucky. Cash Money never were big until the late 90s and then in the early 2000s, their popularity fell when Juvenile and Mannie Fresh left the label. They relied on Wayne to get them up. It wasn’t until 2008 when Wayne turned pop and became a sellout with Tha Carter 3 when Cash Money became big. Then, Cash Money formed Young Money to beome YMCMB and signed Drake, Nicki, and 100 other tax write-offs to become bigger. Cash Money will fall; its inevitable. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Also, their music sucks and nobody buys any of their merchandise outside of music.
Just like someone else said, Cash Money is owned by Universal, meaning they’re not independent. They make that money, but all of it doesn’t go to their wallets/bank accounts. They have to split it up with Universal, the artists, songwriters, producers, mixers, music video directors, managers, promoters, etc. And that’s a lot of money getting split up. Most of that money will be spent on stupid materialistic possessions that aren’t worth anything. So if you think Cash Money sees all the money they make, then you’re crazy.
@ ^^: DID YOU JUST NOW REALIZE THAT I’M STRICTLY TALKING ABOUT MONEY, ANOTHER DUMBASS. BOTTOM LINE IS THEY CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHILE YOU HOPE THAT THEY FAIL. LIKE I SAID IN THE BEGINNING, THESE NIGGAS ARE MAKING BIG BIG MONEY, AND ARE ONLY GETTING BETTER AT IT.
Nigga, nobody gives a fuck about how much money they’re making. Their music still sucks and they won’t last long. Remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. There will be another label taking CM’s spot in the future. Stop acting like Cash Money will be around in 100 years.
THE DUDE ABOVE ME HAS HORRIBLE READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS. WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR MUSIC PREFERENCES. MY POINT IS THAT THESE NIGGAS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN A MAJOR WAY, AND HAVE SHOWN LONGEVITY IN THE GAME, LIKE FEW HAVE BEFORE.
Yeah. They’re successful by screwing people over. It still doesn’t change the fact that their music is crap. They don’t deserve the money they make. Cash Money are a bunch of fucking snakes who’ll do anything to make a quick buck. The whole country is in a recession and the last thing we need is some corny wack niggas bragging about their money.
NOT A TRADITIONAL INDIE COMPANY SELLING CDS AT THE CORNER STORE, BUT CASH MONEY IS STILL LOOSELY CONSIDERED A INDIE LABEL BASED ON THE DEALS THEY’VE MADE. OUTSIDE OF DISTRIBUTION BY UNIVERSAL REPUB AND OTHER SERVICES FROM UNIVERSAL, THEY STILL RETAIN THE FULL OWNERSHIP OF MASTERS, MOST OF THE PUBLISHING, AND 1/2 OF THE PUBLISHING, WHICH TO ME DETAILS THE INDEPENDENCE, AS FAR AS OWNERSHIP.
Now you’re making shit up. Cash Money is still owned by Universal, so they’re not independent. Death Row was independent, No Limit was independent, Roc-A-Fella was independent, Top Dawg are independent. Cash Money is NOT independent.
Lmfao Delray to the defense. I really hope YMCMB is paying you for your efforts lmao. Just one question, what has their money got to do with you?
UNIVERSAL DOESN’T OWN CASH MONEY, ITS NOT A JOINT VENTURE LIKE BAD BOY OR DEF JAM. THEY ARE INDEPENDENT BASED ON THEIR DEAL, NOT ON THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION. THEY ARE STILL AN INDEPENDENT LABEL CONTRACTING WITH A MAJOR.
YEAH SELLING TENS OF MILLIONS OF ALBUMS IS THE RESULT OF SCREWING PEOPLE OVER. FUCK OUTTA HERE LAME.
@MINUS-I. THEIR BUSINESS SUCCESS IS MOTIVATIONAL FOR ANY ENTREPRENEURS. I’M NOT PROMOTING THE MUSIC, I DON’T LISTEN TO ANY OF THE ARTISTS, BUT I’M INTRIGUED BY THE SUCCESS AND BUSINESS APTITUDE OF THE WILLIAMS BROTHERS & COMPANY. YOU BOORS CAN’T READ BECAUSE I CLEARLY STATED THAT AT THE BEGINNING AND 5 TIMES OVER IN OTHER COMMENTS…
“they don’t deserve the money they make”…THESE PEOPLE COMMENTING MUST BE A BUNCH OF YOUNG WHITE KIDS, LOL! NO ONE ELSE WOULD TYPE SOMETHING THAT PUERILE.
You do realize Delray that the figures you hear in forbes hip hop kings is just an estimated guess. Also thats what those artist gross. They probably pay more then 15% on taxes, not including what other bills and responsibilities they have. And Baby does spend alot of money. Not just on cars but on ignorant stupid stuff. Havent you heard about him loosing a $5 MILLION DOLLAR bet on the Patriots in the super bowl. Or how about his 2.1 million dollar necklace. I’m pretty sure he splurges on alot more then just cars. Yes he makes alot but I’m pretty sure he spends just as much.
@da1. THE FORBES NUMBERS ARE AN ESTIMATE! I ALREADY SAID THAT. THE SPENDING IS THE BRAND, AND STILL ISN’T MUCH CONSIDERING THE INCOME. YOU CONSIDER IT STUPID BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH DISPOSABLE INCOME TO SPEND AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THE SPENDING HABITS OF THE MAJORITY OF HECTO-MILLIONAIRES. NO ONE WHO HAS RESPONDED HAS GIVEN PROPS TO DUDE FOR HIS SUCCESS, EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY! LAMES!!!
Hey delrai. Isn’t sad they’re making all this big money selling wack ass music?
Go suck Stunna’s dick… he will give you some of his bucks that you love so much dumbass.
Dude, give up. Cash Money is not independent. Universal still owns their asses. They’re successful, but they’re not THAT successful. And like someone says, they spend as much as they make instead of investing in some stocks. They’re just part of the greedy 1% that owns all of the money in the country. The country is in a recession where a lot of people are broke and unemployed and these niggas are screwing people over for their money and laughing at their faces. Unless you’re seeing some of that money and/or benefiting from them, don’t speak about another man’s success/money ever again.
AGAIN, UNIVERSAL DOESN’T OWN CASH MONEY. OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN’T SPEND MORE THAN HE MAKES, OR HE WOULDN’T HAVE A NET WORTH ABOVE $100 MILLION. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT NET WORTH MEANS? MANY OTHER HECTO-MILLIONAIRES SPEND TO THE SAME DEGREE, BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW THAT EITHER.
THERE IS NO NEED TO INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET IF HE ALREADY OWNS PROFITABLE COMPANIES. AND STOP CRYING ABOUT THE RECESSION FAGGOT. WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE BROKE, UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BIRDMAN. HE’S DOING HIS THING. I WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE PROPS TO PEOPLE THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. YOU MAD? LOSER.
@ANONYMOUS. WHAT A GAY COMMENT. IS THIS SITE ONLY FILLED WITH FAGS, AND LITTLE KIDS OR WHAT.
I’m dumb? Look who’s talking. Again, like I said, Universal does own Cash Money. Birdman does spend more than he makes just by his behavior and the way he talks about nothing but money. And you don’t know what’s gonna happen to the money. There’s a lot of people out there who could take that money away and leave them with nothing. None of Cash Money’s businesses outside of music are successful or profitable. And who gives a fuck about the broke, unemployed? Not you, but everybody else does. People have little money to just survive and jobs are scarce. All Birdman is is just another crooked businessman. You could give props to crooked businessmen who screw people over all you want, but I’m not standing by that. Birdman represents everything wrong with black men and America.
LMAO at this nigga Delray talkin bout other niggas money. They aint givin u none of that cheese so why the fuck you care so much about they money? Anyway, as a crew they suck balls but I cant deny the niggas know how to get that paper.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think its obvious that Delray is a kid millionaire with a lot of time with his hands. There’s no other reason why he would defend a crook’s money.
UNIVERSAL DOESN’T OWN CASH MONEY RETARD. THEY DON’T OWN THE MAJORITY (OR ANY) SHARES (OR UNIVERSAL IS NOT A MEMBER SINCE THEY ARE AN LLC) IN CASH MONEY RECORDS.
HOW CAN HE SPEND MORE THAN HE MAKES WHEN HE HAS A POSITIVE NET WORTH. AND YES NIGGA YOU ARE DUMB AND A HATER.
THAT’S GETTING OFF SUBJECT, BUT EVEN THEIR PUBLISHING DIVISION IS DOING WELL, ONE OF THEIR AUTHORS MADE THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER, AND I’M SURE THEIR VODKA WILL DO WELL. BUT EITHER WAY, I’M TALKING ABOUT THEIR MUSIC BUSINESS.
THE BROKE AND UNEMPLOYED ARE NOT BIRDMAN’S PROBLEM, SO WHY ARE YOU BRINGING THAT UP? I NEVER SAID YOU HAVE TO STAND BY ANYTHING, EVEN DUMB NIGGAS LIKE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION, BUT NUMBERS DON’T LIE. I DON’T SEE HOW GETTING RICH AND LIVING YOUR LIFE PAINTS A BAD PICTURE FOR BLACK MEN IN AMERICA, BUT YOU WOULD SAY SOME DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT.
And the stupidity continues. None of what you said are true, except for the fact that they’re successful in music. They’re still Universal’s bitches. They do spend as much as they make. All of their businesses outside of music has turned to shit and failed. And Birdman IS everything erring with American black men; he’s illiterate, he’s crooked, he screwed people over for money, he’s a child molester, and he enforces negative stereotypes like other niggas. Fuck Birdman and fuck you, dickrider.
everything *wrong* with American black men.
YOU KEEP WHINING LIKE A BITCH. AGAIN:UNIVERSAL DOESN’T OWN CASH MONEY, POINT BLANK. EVERYTHING I SAID IS TRUE LITTLE GUY.
IF BIRDMAN SPENDS MORE THAN HE MAKES, THEN HE WOULDN’T HAVE A POSITIVE NET WORTH, FUCKIN RETARD. CAN YOU COMPREHEND THAT? TAKE YOUR SLOW ASS UP TO THE LIBRARY AND READ SOME PERSONAL FINANCE & ACCOUNTING BOOKS.
LIKE I SAID, YOU’RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINION OF DUDES CHARACTER, BUT EVERYTHING I STATED IS BASED ON CONCRETE BUSINESS SUCCESS & NUMBERS.
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE, DUDE MADE OVER $100 MILLION LEGALLY AND HAS SHIT ON ANYTHING ANYONE IN YOUR BLOODLINE HAS EVER DID.
Blah, blah, blah. All I see is a.bunch of bullshit. Regardless of the deals, Universal owns Cash Money. And he does spend as much as he makes; what I’m speaking is the truth. Dude screwed people over for the money he makes and doesn’t deserve it. Dude is a criminal like the other crooked businessmen. The money he makes doesn’t make him a better person; it makes him another nigga with money. When he and his brother dies, Cash Money will disappear if it hasn’t already in the future.
P.S.: numbers DO lie. Don’t believe the hype.
OF COURSE ALL YOU SEE IS BULLSHIT, YOU CAN BARELY READ. ONCE AGAIN, UNIVERSAL DOESN’T OWN CASH MONEY, THAT WOULD ENTAIL THEM OWNING THE MAJORITY OF THE SHARES IN THE COMPANY.
YOU DON’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT BUSINESS TO “SPEAK THE TRUTH”. CLEARLY HIS NET WORTH WOULD BE NEGATIVE IF HE SPENDS MORE THAN HE MAKES, DUMMY. I SAID THAT TOO MANY TIMES NOW. THE NUMBERS HERE CLEARLY DON’T LIE, DUDES ARE SELLING ALBUMS AND CONTINUING TO GROSS MILLIONS.
Insulting my intelligence to make my point; how mature. FYI, Universal does owe Cash Money and Birdman does spend as much money as he makes. The only reason Birdman Is making money now is because of his three cash cows; Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki. Those three are hot-at-the-moment pop stars making money for the label. Everyone else on that label are tax write offs. None of that shit makes Cash Money the best record label ever; it just makes them popular and successful. Why are you defending Birdman and Cash Money, the worst things to ever happen to hip-hop since the death of Tupac and Biggie?
P.S.: Numbers do lie.
YOU DON’T HAVE ANY INTELLIGENCE TO INSULT YOU LAME. THE ONLY WAY UNIVERSAL OWNS CASH MONEY, IS IF THEY ACTUALLY OWN THE MAJORITY OF THE SHARES. YOU HAVEN’T SHOWN THAT THIS IS THE CASE, THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG.
SECONDLY, YOU HAVEN’T SHOWN THAT BIRDMAN HAS A NEGATIVE NET WORTH, WHICH MEANS HE DOESN’T SPEND MORE THAN HE MAKES. EVEN FORBES PUT HIM AT $125 MILLION. YOU CAN’T AMASS THE FORTUNE IF YOU SPEND MORE THAN YOU MAKE. THAT’S SIMPLE FINANCE.
I KNOW HE IS MAKING MONEY, THAT’S WHAT I BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME FAGGOT. THOSE THREE ARE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE, BUT THE OTHERS ARE MAKING MONEY TOO, ESPECIALLY FROM TOURING.
THERE’S NOTHING TO “DEFEND” BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T SAID ANYTHING FACTUAL, ONLY YOUR HOMOSEXUALLY CHARGED PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THEIR MUSIC, AND BIRDMAN. I COULD GIVE A FUCK WHETHER YOU LIKE BIRDMAN OR NOT, WHO CARES! BUT BIRDMAN’S BUSINESS SUCCESS CANNOT BE DENIED, EVEN BY A HATER LIKE YOURSELF.
Everything you said was a bunch of bullshit. First of all, Universal DOES own Cash Money; they’re making money off of them. Second, Birdman DOES spend as much as he make; just look at what he buys. That tells the whole story and it doesn’t have to affect his net worth. Third, everyone on Cash Money that isn’t Wayne, Drake, and Nicki aren’t making that much money. Finally, you ARE defending them; you make retarded comebacks about their money. Money isn’t everything, dumbass; you can’t take it with you when you die. Birdman’s success is one big joke; he screwed people over and took advantage of others. The “hater” excuse is overused; I’m not a hater, I’m a realist. I see through bullshit. And Cash Money’s success is bullshit.
YOU STILL HAVEN’T SHOWN THAT UNIVERSAL HAS THE MAJORITY OWNERSHIP IN CASH MONEY RECORDS.
YOU STILL HAVE NOT EXPLAINED HOW BIRDMAN CAN SPEND MORE THAN HE MAKES, IF HE HAS A POSITIVE NET WORTH, ABOVE $100 MILLION. IF HE WHOLLY SPENDS MORE THAN HE BUYS IT WOULD AFFECT HIS NET WORTH LITTLE GUY. AGAIN, GO PICK UP A FUCKIN BOOK.
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU TYPED IS THE SAME EMOTIONAL DICK IN THE BOOTY DRIVEL. NOW ASK YOURSELF, WHY DOES BIRDMAN’S SUCCESS MAKE YOU SO MAD. FAG.
“Money isn’t everything, dumbass; you can’t take it with you when you die.”
BROKE NIGGA ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I’m not the one typing in caps. You’re the emotional one here. Everything you said is a pile of BS while everything I said was true. Cash Money is Universal’s bitch because they make money for them and rely on big daddy Universal for their cut. Birdman does spend as much as he makes because of his expenses (he buys 20 half-million dollar cars, 5 million dollar mansions, and tons of expensive jewelry, clothes, and other extra shit people don’t need) and it doesn’t have to affect his net worth. Why do you defend another man’s money? That’s bitch shit.
P.S.:
“”Money isn’t everything, dumbass; you can’t take it with you when you die.”
BROKE NIGGA ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It’s actually true if you get your head out your ass and think about it. Don’t let money rule your life. Like Bob Marley said, money can’t buy happiness.
LOL, TYPING IN CAPS MEANS I’M EMOTIONAL. FUCK OUTTA HERE. EVERY RESPONSE FROM YOU GETS MORE LAME.
CASH MONEY BEING UNIVERSAL’S BITCH IS ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR HOMOSEXUALLY CHARGED OPINIONS SINCE YOU CAN’T PROVE IN FINANCIAL TERMS, THAT THEY OWN CASH MONEY OUTRIGHT.
THOSE ITEMS ARE OBVIOUSLY AFFORDABLE FOR DUDE OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE BANKRUPT YEARS AGO. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, DUDES BEEN STUNTING SINCE THE 90S AND IS STILL FILTHY RICH.
I’M LAUGHING THAT YOU KEEP DODGING THE FACT THAT HIS NET WORTH WOULD DECREASE IF HE CONSTANTLY SPENDS MORE THAN HE MAKES! LOL! THIS DUMMY CAN’T ADMIT HE/SHE IS WRONG.
“It’s actually true if you get your head out your ass and think about it. Don’t let money rule your life. Like Bob Marley said, money can’t buy happiness.”
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON MONEY OR HAPPINESS LITTLE GUY. EVERY TIME YOU GET SHUT DOWN, YOU STRAY TO SOME IRRELEVANT MUMBO JUMBO SHIT, THAT’S OFF SUBJECT. BOTTOM LINE: CASH MONEY IS DOING MAJOR SHIT IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS
Look who’s talking. You’re the one defending another man’s money. Like i said, that’s bitch shit.
*I already explained why Universal owns Cash Money; Universal is the bigger label, meaning Cash Money makes money for them and they have to split it up with them, with Universal getting the bigger cut.
*I also explained how Birdman is spending as much as he makes. This dude is like a teenage girl with a credit card in a mall; he just spends, spends, spends. But he don’t have to worry about going into debt because of his three cash cows.
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON MONEY OR HAPPINESS LITTLE GUY. EVERY TIME YOU GET SHUT DOWN, YOU STRAY TO SOME IRRELEVANT MUMBO JUMBO SHIT, THAT’S OFF SUBJECT. BOTTOM LINE: CASH MONEY IS DOING MAJOR SHIT IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS
First of all, I didn’t get shut down if that’s what you’re thinking; you’re the one getting shut down. Second, I bring those things up because you’re dickriding a dude and label because of their money; that’s some hoe shit right there. Third and finally, I don’t give a fuck about someone’s success or their money; what Cash Money’s doing is nothing special. They’re lucky to last this long because they always follow what’s popular at the moment and make money off of it. All of the music that comes out of that label are crappy pop songs with zero replay value.
Fuck Cash Money, their associates, and anyone that like them.
AGAIN THERE’S NOTHING TO DEFEND, ALL YOU’VE STATED ARE LOUSY OPINIONS.
YOU CAN SAY THEY ARE UNIVERSAL’S BITCH ALL YOU WANT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FACTS OF OWNERSHIP, YOU’RE WRONG. CASH MONEY MAINLY HAS A PRESSING AND DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL, THEY PAY EVERYTHING ELSE OUT OF THEIR OWN PACKET. THAT’S WHY THEY STILL OWN ALL THEIR MASTERS, GET 50% OF PUBLISHING, AND MORE THAN 80% OF ROYALTIES. ITS ACTUALLY THE OTHER WAY AROUND, UNIVERSAL IS PUTTING MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS, DUMBFUCK. THAT’S WHY THE DEAL WAS SO BIG. YOU CAN’T COMPREHEND THAT BECAUSE YOU HATE MONEY AND DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BUSINESS.
Thee you go again with the lying bullshit. Universal owns Cash Money, plain and simple. Everything you said is bullshit; no truth behind it.
BIRDMAN SPENDS A LOT OF MONEY, BUT MAKES EVEN MORE, SO ITS RELATIVE. HIS SPENDING IS REGULAR FOR A PERSON WITH HIS NET WORTH. STOP USING A STRAW MAN THOUGH, LOSER. YOU KEEP DODGING THE FACT THAT HIS NET WORTH IS POSITIVE. AND YOU MEAN GO INTO BANKRUPTCY, NOT DEBT, HAVING A LITTLE DEBT IS USUAL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RICH. STAY IN YOUR LANE OF JUST HATING ON THE NIGGA BECAUSE MONEY TALK IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.
“This dude is like a teenage girl with a credit card in a mall; he just spends, spends, spends.”
WHO SAYS GAY SHIT LIKE THIS!! FUCKING LAME, LOL!!! HOW ABOUT HE’S LIKE THE OTHER ULTRA RICH WHO BUY WHATEVER THEY WANT.
SMFH. The amount he spends is as much as he makes. Besides, I don’t hate Birdman because of his success; I hate the dude because he makes and promotes crap music, screw people over their money, and reinforces negative stereotypes among black men.
“This dude is like a teenage girl with a credit card in a mall; he just spends, spends, spends.”
WHO SAYS GAY SHIT LIKE THIS!! FUCKING LAME, LOL!!! HOW ABOUT HE’S LIKE THE OTHER ULTRA RICH WHO BUY WHATEVER THEY WANT.
Whats so gay about that quote? You must be the gay one. It’s always the most extreme homophobe that’s the gayest. He’s simply making a comparison, dumbass, and I think that’s an accurate comparison. Also, you mean to say “he’s like other crooked businessmen that screws people over and fuck up the economy even more.”
I’M LYING THAT CASH MONEY HAS A P& D DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL? WHAT’S THE LIE IN THAT LITTLE GUY? YOU’RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN’T DISPUTE WHAT WAS SAID. YOU STARTED THE HOMO-RANTING ABOUT IRRELEVANT SHIT YET AGAIN. AND YES YOU ARE GETTING SHUT DOWN LOSER.
YOU CLAIM TO NOT CARE BUT YOU ARE STILL COMMENTING HERE.
“Everything you said is bullshit; no truth behind it.”
YOU KEEP SAYING THIS BUT CAN’T PROVE ME WRONG. YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE ON THIS ONE LITTLE GUY, STICK TO ARGUING WITH STANS ON YOUTUBE.
YEAH COMPARING THE SPENDING HABITS OF A TEENAGE GIRL WITH A CREDIT CARD IN THE MALL TO A MOGUL WHO’S WORTH OVER $125 MILLION IS A GREAT COMPARISON. YEAH BIRDMAN IS REALLY DESTROYING THE ECONOMY BY SPENDING MONEY, HIRING PEOPLE, AND BUILDING COMPANIES. SORRY CAPTAIN SAVE A HOE, YOU’RE JUST AS DUMB AS YOU’RE THE OTHER LAME WHO KEEPS COMMENTING.
OMG. Dude, you can’t prove what you said. I’m just speaking the truth. You’re the one getting shut down. You lost this debate several posts ago. I already explained how your comments are lies if you actually read. If you haven’t made that ignorant post about their finances like some random groupie yesterday, this shit wouldn’t happen. At the end of the day, Universal owns Cash Money, no matter what, and Birdman is a chronic spender.
You’re the one who claims to not care but you’re still commenting.
“SMFH. The amount he spends is as much as he makes. Besides, I don’t hate Birdman because of his success; I hate the dude because he makes and promotes crap music, screw people over their money, and reinforces negative stereotypes among black men.”
MORE OPINIONATED HOMO-RANTS FROM THE LITTLE GUY AND STILL DODGING THE FACTUAL CONCEPT OF NET WORTH. AT LEAST YOU ADMITTED YOU ARE A HATER.
YEAH BIRDMAN IS REALLY DESTROYING THE ECONOMY BY SPENDING MONEY, HIRING PEOPLE, AND BUILDING COMPANIES.
What companies? That failure of a clothing line Trukfit? The declining publishing company? What about that “oil company” that he said that he has? LOL. Cash Money won’t be successful outside of music.
P.S.: he does hire people for Cash Money, but they probably don’t get paid in pennies with his greedy ass. I’d rather work at McDonald’s than work for a crook like Birdman.
MORE OPINIONATED HOMO-RANTS FROM THE LITTLE GUY
You’re the homo little guy here. Talking about another man’s money; that’s some hoe-ass bitch shit what you’re doing.
YOU STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT A P&D DEAL IS. I ALREADY PROVED WHAT I SAID. YOUR CHILDISH RESPONSE WAS “YOU’RE LYING” LMAO. I GUESS RETARDS THINK THAT THIS IS GREAT EVIDENCE AGAINST THE CONTRARY. THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR, AND THE DETAILS OF THEIR DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL IS CLEAR.
“At the end of the day, Universal owns Cash Money”
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO AT LEAST TRY TO PROVE IT, NOT JUST SAY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, LMAO! THIS RETARD HAS TO BE TROLLING. I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT ANY HUMAN IS THIS SLOW.
You know what? You’re right. Cash Money’s deal with Universal is clear. Cash Money makes the money and they split it up with Universal, who’ll get the bigger cut. Universal still owns Cash Money.
“You’re the one who claims to not care but you’re still commenting.”
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE MUSIC OR YOUR OPINION ON DUDES CHARACTER. I OBVIOUSLY HAVE IN INTEREST IN THE BUSINESS ASPECT OF CASH MONEY. THAT’S BEEN MY POINT FROM THE BEGINNING.
If you’re interested in another man’s money,.then you’re a bitch-made hoe.
“What companies? That failure of a clothing line Trukfit? The declining publishing company? What about that “oil company” that he said that he has? LOL. Cash Money won’t be successful outside of music.”
WHAT COMPANIES? CASH MONEY RECORDS, ITS PUBLISHING COMPANY, CASH MONEY CONTENT, AND EVEN THE VODKA. TRUCKFIT IS IN MACY’S, YEAH THAT’S A REAL BIG FAILURE FOR A NEW CLOTHING LINE. ANY OTHER COMMENTS YOU NEED TO GET SHOT DOWN LOSER?
All of those companies except Cash Money Records themselves are failures. And just because Trukfit is in Macy’s doesn’t mean its successful. Dumbass.
You know what? You’re right. Cash Money’s deal with Universal is clear. Cash Money makes the money and they split it up with Universal, who’ll get the bigger cut. Universal still owns Cash Money.
I KNOW I’M RIGHT DUMMY. CASH MONEY MAKES THE BIG MONEY, AND PAYS UNIVERSAL FOR THEIR SERVICES. ONCE AGAIN, CASH MONEY FULLY OWNS ITS MASTERS, SPLITS PUBLISHING REVENUES IN HALF (50%), AND GETS 80%+ OF ITS ROYALTIES. YEAH UNIVERSAL IS DEFINITELY GETTING THE BIGGER CUT. JUST ADMIT YOU TOOK AN L ON THIS ONE SCRUB.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Prove it. Universal still owns their asses. They can’t function without them.
“If you’re interested in another man’s money,.then you’re a bitch-made hoe.”
GOOD ONE MAN! LMAO! ANOTHER OPINIONATED STRAW MAN BASED HOMO-RANT FROM THE RETARD.
“You’re the homo little guy here. Talking about another man’s money; that’s some hoe-ass bitch shit what you’re doing.”
LOL. AND THE RETARD CONTINUES WITH ITS SAME STRATEGY, NOT KNOWING THAT IT DOESN’T WORK. STOP DODGING THE FACTS LITTLE GUY.
Is that the best you can come up with, homophobe? I just exposed you for the hoe you really are and that’s your only comeback. You lose. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
STOP DODGING THE FACTS LITTLE GUY.
What facts? All i see is exaggerated BS.
“All of those companies except Cash Money Records themselves are failures. And just because Trukfit is in Macy’s doesn’t mean its successful. Dumbass.”
YEAH HAVING A NEW AUTHOR ON NY BEST SELLER LIST IS A FAILURE. TRUCKFIT IS TOO NEW TO CRITIQUE ON A SUCCESS/FAILURE LEVEL, BUT BEING IN MACY’S IS A MAJOR STEP. STOP HATING NIGGA!!!
CORRECTION: YEAH HAVING AN AUTHOR ON NY BEST SELLER LIST IS A FAILURE
I’m not hating; I’m speaking the truth. Too hard to handle?
YEAH HAVING A NEW AUTHOR ON NY BEST SELLER LIST IS A FAILURE.
REAAALLLY? What’s the name of this so-called author and the name of the book they wrote? And can you actually prove it?
Don’t you ever get tired of defending the money of another man that doesn’t affect you in any way?
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Prove it. Universal still owns their asses. They can’t function without them.”
ALREADY PROVED IT, BUT LETS SUMMARIZE AGAIN:
CASH MONEY: HAS FULL OWNERSHIP OF CASH MONEY RECORDS LLC, OWNS ALL THERE MASTERS, SPLITS 50% OF PUBLISHING, AND SPLITS 15% OF ITS ROYALTIES. UNIVERSAL PRESSES AND DISTRIBUTES FOR THE COMPANY, AND IS PAID FOR ITS SERVICES. EVERYTHING ELSE IS UNDERWRITTEN FOR BY CASH MONEY. SINCE I PROVED YOU WRONG ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP YOU’LL CREATE A STRAW MAN, TO ARGUE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS IRRELEVANT, LOL.
“Is that the best you can come up with, homophobe? I just exposed you for the hoe you really are and that’s your only comeback. You lose. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”
THIS IS HOW PEOPLE RESPOND WHEN THEY START GETTING SHUT DOWN. RIGHT….YOU’VE “EXPOSED ME FOR THE HOE I AM”, BUT HAVEN’T PUT TOGETHER A REAL RESPONSE (ONLY OFF TOPIC RANTS OR CHILDISH “YOU’RE WRONGS”) TO ANY OF THE FACTS I PRESENTED.
JUST QUIT NOW SON ITS OVER, YOU’RE WRONG.
Provide some evidence for what you’re saying (not Wikipedia, since anyone can edit the information), otherwise, its just exaggerated, mumbo-jumbo you just made up. Universal owns Cash Money regardless. They still have to give a large percentage of their profits to Universal, plain and simple.

You’re basically one big hypocrite. You call me out for those actions, yet you do the same shit. I’ma say this again; Cash Money is still owned by Universal, no matter how the deal go down. Universal is the bigger label, making a shitload of money off of these niggas. You’re the one taking losses here.
Once again, lady luck has played her hand. And this book is at number 27. That’s a fail. You lose.

Damn this nigga Drake still on the motherfuckin charts stop buying his album y’all
Tell that to the young kids and females who buy his shit.
^cop out. i know plenty of men who like drake. and no they’re not gay. no they dont wear skinnyy jeans, no they dont kiss men on the mouth, nor any other ignorant hip hop head stereotype you wanted to use to make yourself feel better.
Oh, shut up, Drake stan. No straight man listens to Drake’s pussy ass music. That shit isn’t even hip-hop; its R&B/pop.
@Second Anonymous
Good joke. You’re obviously making that up.
how am i a drake stan when i dont even listen to drake myself? im just not so self righteous like you that i let my personal feelings dictate my reason about an artist simply because i dont like them.
“you’re making that up, good joke”
you see what happens when you disarms a hip hop deads default “they must be faggots” response? they just call you a liar. lol smh
I was going to buy Prodigy’s album but he didn’t sell too much copies so I ain’t wasting my money on that shit
This is what a pop music sheep would say. Dumbass.
Quality>Quantity
Why would you buy Prodigy’s album anyway LMAO
somebody better tell chris brown to calm his little ass down before he run out of money.. Mac Miller did more first week then this clown. Sad day for these fake R&B singers.
DONT FORGET JEEZY
233K FIRST WEEK
just wait till welcome to our house drops 500k first week 100%
Not happening. ~100k at the most.
50 cent sk immortal can do 500k+ first week when it drops if they promo right. It can be done 50 needs motivation.
not gonna happen ,albums don’t sale anymore the biggest debut of the year was bieber with 374k with a 2xplatinum single and u know pop sell way more than rap .
tell me, how? last 50’s album sold 150k in the first week, no way he will sell 500+ in his first week, even nicki’s album could barely crack 500k at all
eminems new album 500k+ first week.
More like 700k +. Even though Eminem’s music isn’t what it use to be. He still sells on average more then 700k the first week. It happened with Encore, The 8 mile soundtrack, and Recovery. His only album to not go gold the first week was his first album SSLP. And that sold well over 400k it’s first week. So Eminem will always
shady 2.0 album (hopefully) 5mill units first week.
Idk why ppl callin Flo Rida a flop, one of his singles makes more money than almost every artist on this chart
Look at how many units his album sold. He’s a flop.
this article is about album sales but thanks for the redundant comment.
You know nothing about business. If he sells 31000 first week but already sold 10 million singles I think he already recouped. Anything after is purely profit right? I seriously doubt his 31000k is hurting his pocket if he drives Bugatti’s all day long. His pop music carters to more people than Hip Hop. 😉
lmao old ass prodigy flopped. after all those pointless interviews, he only sold that much? lol. but congrats to my nigga chris brown. he’s gettin his.
Someone needs to kick your ass for disrespecting your elders.
troll, troll, troll.
You hate on a real dude like Prodigy, but respect Chris Brown? You sir, are a fuckin faggot.
damn feels like no one gives a fuck about buying cd’s anymore. shit when your favorite rapper doesn’t sell you cant be mad. as long as you did your part its all good. damn internet made people cheap and lazy…smh
Niggas here be stupid, talkin bout other niggas money and shit. If that cheese ain’t goin in yr wallets shut up about other peoples money. And to the dumb niggas sayin self made flop, album us banging and sold more than mist albums. Nuggas don’t buy albums no more so self made doin well for an album with no promotion. GFID gon be banger if the summer. Shit gon be classic!
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it cant be a classic all of the singles suck
Ricky ROzay is such a faggot dickrider. Im sure he already knows that though.
sactually ya niggas comments are funny as fuck. make a simple showcase of dumbness and ignorance.
GO BUY NAS ALBUM JULY 17 REAL HIP HOP
I THOUGHT YOU SAID NAS SUCKED AND SO DOES THE ALBUM ? PUNK MAHFUCKA
If album sales and money make a great hip hop artist, then why do you clones listen to hip hop. Pop and rock artists sell more albums than a lot of hip hop artists, does that mean pop and rock are better than hip hop? I think not.
i dno why everyone saying 3,900 copies for prodigy is bad. It’s not when you consider he released it himself on his own label without much promotion. Plus the album is dope which is more important than how much it sells but at least Prodigy will keep all the money he makes and not have to give most of it to a major label. Just wait for the next mobb deep album which will sell well
Keep lying to urself. These dudes are washed up and fell the fuck up. They are going timber, lmao
3900 wont even cover the gay videos he shot for his gay album. hnic 3 is a total failure. critically and commercially. if your album isn’t going to sell big why make it a piece of shit album that wants to sell big? prodigy is in the hole. first everyone was talking about havoc said p is gay and now everyone is talking about prodigy new album sucking and him being finished. nice to come out of prison for that.
good music that flops > bad music that flops
yeh hnic3 wasnt quite as good as the first 2 or return of the mac but that only because of the songs with esther really, other than them the album is dope. Plus Prodigy gets to keep all the money made from sales as it was released on his own record label, plus u forgot the money he gonna make from shows and from the next mobb deep album
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE, that last week B.o.B had sold 172k and in this article is 119k, you better correct it
I doubt Nicki made more than 2 mil. this year, if yes, most of them took Birdman for himself anyway
“Still don’t make her music better”
I agree… She’s just more successful because she’s a brand. The funny thing is Krit just might end up having a longer career, because female MC”s typically burn out fast.

Y’ALL NIGGAS STUPID:
Y’all niggas that don’t like YMCMB/MMG need to stop commenting on their posts. All you’re doing is make them more popular. Thanks to you niggas, the most popular artists in rap right now is:
*A former C.O. turned mafioso gangsta rapper who’s swagger-jacking Biggie and has no originality
*A white-washed black pop singer who swagger-jacks Lil Kim and Katy Perry, has 4 different personalities, fake titties and ass, and several hair colors
*A Canadian Jewish R&B singer/pop rapper/former kid actor who is a certified pussy that runs away from a fight
*A 5’4, dreadlock-having, skateboarding gremlin whose music sucked ass since his sixth album, kisses men on the lips, and wears women’s jeans
*A 40+ year old bald-headed child molester who thinks he’s 20 years old, kisses men on the lips, and talks about nothing but money.
*A mentally-disabled dreadlock-having nigga who has no rapping skills, yells on every track, and named after a Muppet
*A fat Arab who doesn’t write or produce his own songs and yells his name and “WE DA BEST!!” on every track
So Icy Boi=dentaldamboy
So Icy Boi=Swag
So Icy Boi=SuperGucciRap
So Icy Boi=youngsta
He’s also YESSIR, YADIG, and DK.
Why the hell would I be So Icy Boi? I don’t want to associate myself with someone who defends Drake, one of the worst rappers along with Kid Cudi and that faggot nigga B.o.B among the new generation of rap. Gucci Mane, Justin Bieber and One Direction are real hip-hop.
It’s Gucci Time!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Good one.
I’m Kendrick Dante Brown. Listen to my music.
