When he signed, that's what the news story said. Just like Papoose's said 1.5 mill. Even IF that was wrong, what about G.Malone? Sony gave him 1.7 mill. That's more then Pap too. Dude got fucked over. Either that, or Malone is a better business man.

Well, I'm sure there are hundreds of rappers who got signed for less than Malone's 1.7 mill. Guess they all got fucked over, right? lol

I'm just saying, with Pap's hype, that ain't much. Maybe if he signed to like Sony or Interscope for that kind of cash, ok that's fine. But Jive? Sure they've had platinum selling albums (but it wasn't due to exceptional promotion, because you don't really have to promote Outkast or R.Kelly anymore). Pap, is trying to go main stream, so he's gonna need really good promotion. I highly doubt his album will be a hit record.
