I'm willing to bet its on "lost potential earnings", from all the concerts that got cancelled. You know the current trend for labels and other big companies is the manipulate the numbers to make it look like they arnt making any money.

No I'm saying in general. Master P made a statement saying if a record company offered me 1 million then that's means I'm worth more. Same rule applies here. 100 Million for the body of work he's put in of what 30 years? Seems hella low to me.

Homeboy, even your smart phone can't fix stupid. "Post to have" damn niggas type how they talk now? ??
^^^This
In order to get your songs in movies, video games and commercials you have to be a salesman. You have to know who the movers and the shakers are in the advertising industry, the gaming industry, and the movie industry. Allstate isn't just going to call you out of the blue and ask if they can use your song, you have to solicit their business.
All that is to say, Wayne is a dope MC, but I'm not sure if he has the business acumen to get his songs in movies, commercials and video games. Maybe he'd be better off just selling the whole catalog for $100M.
I just hope he doesn't blow it all on nonsense.
Wayne, if you're reading this; Invest your money ($100m) in a S&P 500 index fund that yields 5% (which is $5 million per year) and then put it in escrow with a right of survivorship. This means when you die, the investment goes to whomever you choose (pick the youngest person in your family, like a toddler or an infant).
Escrow means you can't change your mind, withdraw the money and spend it on jewelry and champagne.

You're overrating his work then. The majority of his good content is on mixtapes or features.

That's a given in most cases, but whether Wayne's catalog is worth that amount is debatable. Reflecting back on his albums.....meh...I don't know.
MIAMI, Fl. (CW69 News at 10) — Dwayne Michael Carter, 38, a/k/a Lil Wayne, pled guilty in federal district court to illegally possessing a loaded, gold-plated .45-caliber handgun while traveling to South Florida on a private plane last December, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
According to court documents, an anonymous tip led officers to Opa Locka Executive Airport on December 23, 2019, where Carter arrived on a private flight from California. Officers spoke with Carter, who told them that he had a gun in his bag. After securing a search warrant, officers looked in the bag containing Carter’s personal items and found a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with six rounds of ammunition. The bag also contained personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone.
Prior to December 23, 2019, Carter had been convicted of a felony, which made his possession of the gun and ammunition on that day illegal.
Carter’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 28, 2020, before U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams. Carter faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
Makes you wonder who made the "anonymous tip". He must have had a hater in his inner circle.

Bro, music lasts forever and when wayne dies and they still have his masters that's an easy recoupment plus profit. Wayne practically pawned his life away.
no man lol
P was in the industry when the labels did ALL the work
marketing, pressing the albums, video shoots, etc..
so yes, for P, it made sense for him to do this if HE was going to be the one doing all those things himself.
Wayne and P situations two different ones
hell, i wouldnt be surprised if it was lower than this and they settled on $100M b/c it came down to some take it or leave it shit
HOW HOW HOW???
name one song of waynes that was featured on a commercial?
the ONLY one i can think of was that mountain Dew one from a few years ago. He intentionally didnt make songs that had crossover appeal. Closest one came to Lollipop and even that shit would have to get watered down just to play on the radio.
you giving him way more credit than he deserves in this
so are they gonna do a 40 year anniversary of the Carter 1 or something?? lol

Wayne did have some of the biggest songs after 2008 ain’t that crossover appeal
im not denying this, but who's putting them in commercials, etc...
how else is he going to monetize off these songs if he keeps them and two, how is this company going to monetize off them

*Too not to. How so? A 30 year body of work? Albums, Mixtapes, Streams, commericals, features, movies and tv shows that score his songs in them? Y'all trippin..
First of all, it's a 20 year body of work. If you wanna be generous you could say 21 or 22 years.
Secondly, it's nice to have a steady stream of royalty money coming in, but I can understand why he'd want it all in one sum.

Idk about the Carter 1 in specific but Uhh yea... You do realize a greatest hits is a label money grab correct? Universal is about to flip tf out of his masters. I don't think you realize how much money can be made solely off that alone and with an artist like wayne? JAY-Z DOESNT EVEN OWN THE MASTERS TO REASONABLE DOUBT and he is still fighting for that to this day.

20 is correct i didn't mean 30. Once you relinquish your masters you dont get those royalties anymore bro unless the label contractual wanted to throw you a percentage to be nice but they're not obligated to do so.
