[Suckio Andretti]

ABC still using special delivery durtheir basketball telecasts.

That’s actually the Wayne/swizz song but I feel you

 

[TheMadLionsFan]

Craig mack rolling in his grave

Black Rob too

I wonder is G-Dep can still get his money

 

[Freeman]

If they sampled it they still owe him a cut no?

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Yeah that’s why I said I feel you but that’s not exactly people seeking G dep out

Thats like ppl seeking out Bobby shmurda for hot nigga and not lloyd banks for jackpot

 

[TheMadLionsFan]

Can't outright blame Diddy but his choices did impact his artists therefore impacting some of their choices. I'm not familiar enough with the gdep situation to say anything tho.

G-Dep tried to rob a dude that was high on dust. The guy wasn't going for it so G-Dep shot him. This was before he got his record deal and he tried to turn himself in two times before but was turned away. One of those times was before he signed. Those who were around said he simply felt guilty. Although is you want some of those old street I interviews, he was clearly on heroin

Havung the publishing gives them ability and incentive to go hustle their ip.

That goes to @Elzo69Renaissance point. Maybe if he wasn't down so bad and strung out his thought process would have been different when it came to turning himself in. He was at rock bottom and puff played a big role in that.

Either way

G dep being in jail not on Diddy

 

[Freeman]

Agreed just saying his decision to hold the publishing obviously played a role.

Either way g dep is exactly where he deserves to be. Let me be clear.

 

[Freeman]

Giving the publishing back to them cause you've moved into yet another tax bracket and the combined value of their publishing is inherently worthless to you is beyond fucked up.

 

[Tayboo]

I kinda don't understand why Diddy get so much flack for what seemed to be the standard practice in the industry at that time. The record company owned the publishing until ready to sell it. It was never a given that publishing would go back to the artist.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Who paying to use a G Dep track for anything? He would still have been assed out on the streets

ABC still uses special delivery during their basketball telecasts.

^that

plus anytime it has or will be played anywhere

Also if he had his publishing from jump he would've made more off his album

Dirty business ethics are still dirty business ethics, and the music industry is built off those business ethics. Diddy is just a face we can identify and directly point to the fuckery.

I don't know Lucian grange from a can of paint. If he was outside like that trust he'd be catching just as much flack and more.

 

[Freeman]

Imagine trying to give puff a pass in 2023 when we have decades of verified evidence he's a piece of shit.

The lies we've been sold man. Sigh.

Exactly

And considering his artist have been extremely vocal over the years it only makes sense he would get all of this flack

However, it did lead to one of the funniest moment in Hip Hop history when jadakiss threatened to drop a refrigerator on puff. "The stainless steel double-door joints"

Been saying this shit since day 1. He gave artists the same contracts all new artists get.

But niggas don't know who the CEO of Columbia is or Universal, they only know Puff.

Wait til they offer Keefe D life in prison and he starts singing like a canary

Bout to throw Puff all under the bus

[Chi-Town B]

Irv Gotti made a good point for not giving the stuff back to the artist, it's their only income. Artists not sharing that tour money with Puff or all the other label heads

 

[GrimSmile]

I guess its better than never. He already done squeezed millions off them any way.
