Can't lie I had the wrong impression of dude based on U Guessed It. 
Went to soundcloud and was delighted to hear some nice stuff.

Nah bruh not in Miami, fool was banking off Up but everybody except him where getting credit for the song. Jeezy was already executive producing his album since 2012, it just so happens when buddy signed with CTE he gets on "Act Right" with Gotti and gets Drake on "Who Do You Love". Man Jeezy was gon give YG "RIP" and I dont even consider "My *****" YGs song becuase he contributed the least, if he was on his way why didn't his singles pop.
Yall laughing like Jeezy ever signed real talent besides Gibbs. Awhile QC aint even get Migos a release date after all they tapes got love and their singles are actually charting and thats their best artist.

Cte cant even get dudes mix tapes to buzz. Everybody that had any sort of success over there had a buzz before inking the deal. Mustard is the reason behind yg success point blank period. U can put him with anybody in the game without what ended up being the industry sound the last year he would be nobody.

We talking about signing record deals? Where they do that at?
Someone still applying old music business model logic to the current landscape is severely out of touch.
Your FAVORITE rapper wishes they could be independent. Like...what the hell does it even mean to sign to a CTE or a Bricksquad in 2015? You think it's smart to sign to another rapper that's signed to 3 other ****** and is just going to pimp you like they're being pimped?
Corporate hip hop is a big ******* Ponzi scheme right now.
It's a different music business right now. The true creatives are figuring out how to use resources to the best of their ability in order to monetize their own art direct to consumer. The internet changed everything. Ya'll not paying attention to what Nipsey Hussle is doing?

Well it's mostly aligning ppl. If you signed w/ CTE or Bricksquad you got a team to back you and a studio rap in. Most indie rappers we know of are signed to record deals just not major ones where they would be given money, a budget and are still free to sign with a major (Wiz Khalifa w/ Rostrum Records).

OG Maco can sign with 1017 or CTE and still be with QC (like PeeWee Longway), and still be considered unsigned.
As long as my FAVORITE rappers sell they albums and keep people at their shows they not wishing independence back. But if they start losing steam and fall off of course the labels gonna **** them over it's only right especially since these labels are still providing the money, studio, and promo.
Nipsey Hussle was very close to signing wit MMG. What has he been doing, wasn't he supposed to drop Victory Lap after Crenshaw?

What the **** are you talking about? What line?
And Nipsey Hussle just made 100K from selling his own project at $100 a pop. You live under a rock?

Yea but if you figure in that each copy came with a ticket to his concert and all the money dude spent for promo and feats, he prolly only made back less than half. Reason why Mailbox Money cost a grand and come w/ a listening session dude getting smarter. Dude making boss moves but I'm pretty sure dude going through majors right now to get Victory Lap on the shelves
I live under a rock but you referencing a year old project?
You asked are ppl rly still signing record deals, when almost every single artist we know has.
You mentioned me being out of touch for wishing dude was signed a major when there has been alot of success accomplished doing this
You said my FAVORITE artists wish they were independent and then procceeded to tell you why my favorite artists aren't
"The rapper signed to another rapper that's signed the 3 ******" is a Pusha T (who just happens to be a rapper signed to a rapper signed to a rapper) line right?
Everybody knows the business is different, everybody knows the internet changed everything but if you got the talent and can sell the label is only gon help you.
Where did I confuse you?

Dude is a true artist. You can tell he really puts a lot of work in conceptualizing and detailing. He has the perfect blend of content too. He can appeal to every audience

I think U Guessed It made people misjudge him a bit.
He got put in that "meme rapper" box.
All it's gonna take is a Drake co-sign and watch ****** hop on.
