What's your point? Not only are the sales I was talking about from back during raps most profitable time period but one of the only n's actually caking off sales today is under Birdman.

These threads are always hilarious, the TRUE stans come runnin out with their panties in a bunch, and the Jay-Z ones are probably the worst. On top of riding their favorite rappers D, they also pretend to know about finance and money
. Birdman has been making money since the late 80's, early 90s, was/is independent and certainly not paying taxes. Him and Jay-Z are both 40 years old and Jay-Z broke out in 1996 and didnt blow up till later. For anyone to think that Joe camel's money is soooooo much longer than Babys is
. Aside from Diddy and 50, Birdman and Jayz are a lot closer than youd like to think.

So you're a Jigga stan good to know you admit being on somebody sack. But besides that everytime I see you in a music thread youre with ya chest puffed out extra sensitive defending durty souf rappers shawty. I could care less bout another mans finances unless it affects mine but you sound stupid so lemme play along. First off nobodies knocking the south, the dudes you mentioned hustles was phenomenal and they get props for that. But stop foolin yourself thinking they was getting millions before they went mainstream cuz they werent. Second, that video was taken in 1994, Jay didn't even release his first album yet so cut it out. Baby was still cuttin his teeth as a wanna be exec at that time, he was nowhere near sniffin a million. Between 01 and 03 CM reached their peak of success selling 7 million records. Jay sold more than that with Hard Knock alone

1. But stop foolin yourself thinking they was getting millions before they went mainstream cuz they werent. 2. Between 01 and 03 CM reached their peak of success selling 7 million records. Jay sold more than that with Hard Knock alone. Not to mention he got 204 milli in cash for Rocawear, and LEGITIMATE businesses in 40/40 and Gain Global Investments and countless endorsements. Birdman is getting it but hes not at Hovs level youngin.�
1. O they were.
2.Even if that was thier peak what dont you understand about owning 85% of your artist's royalties???
Every time Lil Wayne, B.G., Turk, Juve, Teena Marie, Hot Boyz, etc. to Nicki Minaj, Drake, the rest of Young Money and that rock and roll dude they signed thats big overseas DOES ANYTHING BIRDMAN SEES 85%
Everytime those same artists sales a cd Birdman gets 85%
Everytime those artist songs are played on the satelite radio, tv, movie or events 85%
Everytime those artists write for another artist he gets half 85%
Off of Lil Wayne alone he could have gotten:
10 million credits (thats radio play,movies, etc.+cd sales+shows+liscensing)
X
Lets say his credit value is only $1 (which is most likely more)
X
85% royalties share
=
8.5 Mill A Quarter off of Lil Wayne alone...Thats 34 mill a year and most likely more because his credit value is most likely more than a $1 and his credits are most likely more because recently he's been the biggest thing in music.
So take that plus when "Bling Bling" was the hottest song "Back that !%% Up was the hottest song and anything thing else from Cash Money Big or Small Birdman and Slim saw 85% of that @#*%
Not to mention he gets ownerships of all masters you know that @#*% Jay had to buy back from Doug Morris a few months ago?
End of the day Birdman's money is longer Jay might have a better year financially than Birdman butHis kids and his kids kids are beyond good.

The only thing that doesn't add up...is WHY THE HELL THIS STAR TATTOOED HOOD STAR NEVER HAS ANY PROOF?!
Why the hell would he NOT want to be on a top 10 list...lets be real yall...its just even MORE publicity...if i was getting it like that and i worked in an industry built on expanding my image and keeping my name in people's heads, I would do anything to gain publicity...including putting myself on top lists...c'mon man...ya'll aren't even believing what the hell ya'll are saying...

Come on man if you was getting it like they getting on and under the table would you want some magazine to know all of your revenue streams?
Think about this. The last dude on that Forbe's list made what 2mill? You think Birdman is seeing less than 2 mill a year? Dude is from the streets he stunts but he aint going to tell you how he got it.
Royalty checks are tax deductible but thats why they keep a write off on the team.

Even if any of that is accurate, you'd have to divide it by 2 and give Slim his cut.

Posting that video means nothing especially that was the height of the "let me rent a car for this video" trend...which didn't ever die...especially when the ROC had a similar deal...but you refuse to aknowledge that...

wrong sir,
rocafella was a LABEL deal on def jam
cashmoney was a DISTRIBUTION deal on universal....
baby sees FARRRR more of a cut on cash money then did jay-z did on rocafella...
jay-z was still on Vol. 3 coming up while baby was already a label boss eating off B.G.'s and juve's platinum albums...and you'd be silly to think he wasn't eating more then his artist was.
if i wasn't so lazy i'd just scan da artiles on cash money's details regarding da deal they got from da source's power 30 from like a decade ago....
