Pffff who cares what Suge knows/thinks.
Kendrick still made the Forbes rich list earning $9m in 2013
Quote from: abusive on February 20, 2014, 01:26:56 PMYou forgot Game was/is? signed to JT Tha Bigga Figga. I think that's who Suge meant by "is really signed to". No. Even JT has admitted otherwise. JT basically gave him a deal to do those early recordings then let him do his thing. He tried to sell them to Interscope when Game got on but they passed so he put them out himself. I believe Suge is either talking about Jimmy Henchman or D-Mack.

I mean at this point young rappers from the independent circuit are supposed to have some knowledge of the business, and Kendrick has been around some of the most successful independent artists before he even signed on Aftermath with E-40 and touring with Tech N9ne so it's not like he ain't seasoned. the forbes list is supposed to be a serious/accurate list too. I doubt Suge even looked into their contracts, he just speaking what he thinks Kendrick deal is but I'm sure Kendrick got all of his publishings, unlike any artist not named Dre & 2pac on Death Row at the time and which is, in the long run, the most important thing with owning your masters (which he probably doesn't, as almost nobody does). Suge always says he looked out for his artists by buying them whatever they needed and looking out for them, which may be true, but they had terrible deals and he wasn't paying them what they were due, hence Daz winning $25 mill in court. kinda like Snoop with Tha Eastsidaz.
In this video JT says Game was signed to him then Game tried to side step him but JT had him under contract.
I think Suge was just saying that about so many labels/companies being involved and all being entitled to some cut. With Game, it was G-Unit/Aftermath/Interscope and then Geffen got involved too for stuff coming out after The Documentary. And then there's still Czar Entertainment or whatever the company is called that is run by Jimmy Henchmen, who gets a piece of the action. And now he's moving to Cash Money/Universal, so who knows how the money will get split at that point. And Kendrick is still linked up with Top Dog/Aftermath/Interscope, so I bet Jay Rock is also getting a nice cut.

What would you call wiping people's assholes at a nursing home for 10 dollars an hour? For real... If Kendrick is fucking Lady Gaga and making 9Million and he's a slave, then what would that make my broke ass who doesn't have enough money to even have a girlfriend and I wipe assholes for 10 dollars an hour?

I got to go looking into that other interview. I could recall one where he said he put some money behind Game as a temporary investment or something so they could do some music together before they hit it back. If JT had paperwork on him, that must have cost Game some additional bills when that Interscope deal rolled through.

According to Ronin Ro's Deathrow biography, Suge/ DR had rappers signing blank pieces of paper. Buying their big artists cars instead of giving them money, etc...
