Easier said than done

It is easier said than done.

they sign it over. Don’t sign the papers

There’s an obvious disconnect here if Diddy signed off on him getting his pub back and somehow is still getting the pub

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Surprised it’s that much.

In some ways, yeah I agree with you. Plus when you consider rnb songs like Locked Up have versions without him on it that probably got played on radio more than his version of the song, it makes sense that his back catalog isn't bringing in a ton of money.

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Plus a song like Jenny from the Block has 15 writers on it. So even if it made a crazy amount of money in a year, lets say $10 million, Styles would have to split that 15 ways, and then you get taxes and shit.

 

[Don Dada]

Thats. So how he makes money? Pandemin fucked up alot

 

[King Freeman]

Damn. Not my nigga b.

The best of them low key already work for those companies or can be bought by them.

Dirty game.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Not many radio hits for styles thats gonna get played today at this point either

 

[Soul_Rattler]

Only?

 

[King Freeman]

I'm surprised he gets that.... u have any idea how many broke artists once had contracts and checking accounts worth millions... and decided the easy life gon keep on keepin on? Music can be a rough game, ask any so called 1 hit wonder. Every new artist thinks once they're signed they made for life.... wrong.

You just talking to talk styles p one of the hardest working niggas in the game. And I don't think he dependent on that 25k. He has other ventures. (Book deal, juice bar, etc) It's the principle. He signed a fucked up deal. Amended said fuck up deal and niggas still not gonna break him off.

Couldn't be me but whatever I know he one of the few who been had his shit straight. Probably not sitting on mils but I doubt he's drowning in debt.

It's not necessarily all to do with the deal he signed. If people aren't interested in the music he made/featured on then it won't make as much money as it could.

Those tracks still get play. I don't know anything about the splits so I can't say nothing there. Like I said nigga got mad side hustle so I doubt it's about the money and more the principle. He got his name on countless hits and doesn't feel he's getting compensated properly and at least one of his peers agrees. I hope they get to the bottom of that shit.

The Lox's two biggest songs are probably The Benjamins and Money Power Respect, and Styles P wasn't on The Benjamins. I can understand how Puffy might still own the rights to Money Power Respect as it was on Bad Boy.

None of us probably dont listen to local radio anymore but his music on that would probably get play in the noon time, with less listeners. But Sirius Xm plays his music. That is what i have. Then you have streams but a lot if artist are not getting fair deals with streaming platforms.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Good times
And maybe BMF that he’s featured on
We gon make it I guess but idk if that’s much of a radio hit
can’t think of a RR era song off the top of my head that would get play
