The Game has rescently announced that he will no longer be doing any work on the Waistdeep soundtrack. Quote - "Is not being put together by "The Black Wallstreet Records" because they didn't wanna give us a million plus to make it a classic soundtrack !!! So myself or any BWS artist will not have any involvement what so ever in the creating or selling of the movie soundtrack. Just letting yall know before it comes out & your upset because I'm not on it. I told them if they didn't give us what we wanted to make this soundtrack happen I would not submit any music so instead they just threw some shit together, 1. "
-
Is this the soundtrack to his movie???
-
Yep.
-
lol, that kinda makes him look stupid, you know, not making any songs for a soundtrack for his own movie.
-
Yeah it does.1 million is too much for a low budget movie.
-
^Its a low budget movie???I'll never understand most hip-hop artists, these guys always ask for too much, they're rich anyways.I mean, what's the difference between like 700 000 & a million when you already have a few millions in your bank???
-
Yeah im almost sure its a low budget movie...
And yeah it makes no logic.Big egos I guess.
-
I'm pretty sure it's not a low-budget movie since Vondie Curtis Hall is directing it; plus it has actors such as Tyrese, Meagan Good & Larenz Tate. Sure, they're not on a level like Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc...but they're still 'above average' actors in terms of salaries I think...
Anyway, yeah, it makes Game look stupid in that sense that everybody will except to hear Game music on the OST since he stars in the movie himself.
-
he doesnt have a major role in the movie
more like eminem in the wash
-
i think they mean 1 mill budget, that's not enough for paying for production, guest features, and promotion.
-
what a dumbfuck...

Yeah I just saw the trailer.Its not a low budget movie.Its looks dope.
-
millionaire boyz club is the low budget movie where game plays the main actor...
waist deep is the bigger movie.

a million dollars i smore thn enought to get the sndtrak done... he just doesnt want you to know that 50 blocked it from happening... "I just wanna let y'll know before you go buy it and I'm not on it"... no more like "i just want to let ya'll know before the truth comes out"
and to the other post most rappers are broke.. or living beyond their means... there maybe 6 rappers total that are "rich"... i'll givr you a few... Eminem, 50, Nelly, Jay-Z. U dont get rich from rapping what u get rich from is the other ventures they create along with it... clothing deals, shoe deals, liquor/beverage deal, their own record label...
Em, Nelly & 50 all sold 10million on ONE disc before, that when u gettin money..
2million units... u can still be broke depending on how much u spent to make the record and how much they spent to market & promote you....
-
"Waist Deep" is produced by Ted Field who is a co-owner of Interscope Communications
and founded Interscope Records with Jimmy Iovine.
And no songs by Game on the soundtrack?
Interesting. :)
Hmmm... correction. From what I see he's not with Interscope anymore, I'm not sure if he still owns any part of it.

More money you got more money you want, believe me.

that thought crossed my mind
-
Game probably didn't get a million dollars for acting in the movie why the fuck would they give him that much to make the soundtrack
-
OK, Game is really acting like a little bitch right now. Remember when he got his "Madden 06" song rejected, and claimed it was because 50 pulled strings to get Spider Loc on there instead? He was lying; the reason it happened was EXACTLY the same reason as what's going on now - he didn't want to do his song the way EA wanted him to do it.
Much as I've thought of 50 as an arrogant muthafucka, Game is starting to sound just the same. This cat's a big-time hypocrite.

Are you guys retarted. 1 Million to make any mainstream release isnt shit. For promotion, marketing, guest appearances, studio time, production, you guys really need to learn more about the industry before you make comments like this.
1 Dre beat alone would cost $100,000 (his friends n family rate, is $75,000), studio time, paying each artist who would appear on the album, engineers, mixing, mastering, i mean c'mon.
Now if this was an independent release, then by all means, Game is out of his fucking noodle. But if its going to be nationally distrubuted, they need to invest more than 1 million to make sales. BUT THAT IS, if they even care. If they are not willing to put money into the soundtrack, they are probably not expecting to make money off the soundtrack, or theres no $ left in the budget due to the costs of making the movie, etc.
Bottom line, all im saying is Game's request was by no means outlandish. Even that fucking Jackie Chan Movie Soundtrack Deathrow put out, costs more than 1 million to make/distribute. But i think he still should of submitted at least SOMETHING, regardless if his label couldnt make the soundtrack
-
Regardless...how much he gets paid...money is money...game need to be thankful for it. Not many people can get that kind of money. He needs to appreciate things than to bitch. >:(

The money wasn't to line Game's pockets. It was a budget for the album.

the last time i read dres friend and family rate was $150 000, and normally its $250 000

Yo Redemption if he asked for a million dollas that would be to record the project only!!! Marketing & Promotional moneys would be allotted later homie... In todays music world... if you get a million dollars to record your album aside from your advance your a lucky mu'fucka those types of deals dont happen to new artists or for soundtracks anymore... what was the last bangin soundtrack u purchased??? Soundtracks & Compilations no longer sale

OH....hahaha...oops ;D
-
Yeah, a million is a lot for a recording budget...it's marketing/promotion that drives the budget up higher. Besides, not everything on an OST is necesarily recorded just for that soundtrack...more often than not, soundtracks are filled with leftover songs that weren't good enough to make the artists' own albums, so in that case, the licensing fee is the only thing to worry about (and it's usually pretty low).

Game isn't 50, and he has to realize that if he wants BWS to be successful, he needs to take it apon himself. Game needs to get his head out of his ass and start promoting his ppl, and what better way then putting BWS on a soundtrack. If game misses this opportunity hes screwed. I bet 50 didn't even get a mill for doing his soundtrack. Take one for your team game and be a man.
