Woodchuck you probably seen it all. I wonder why no one started an artist friendly company. Kind of like a walmart version of the record business.And he charged them rental fees to have his mansion and cars in their videos too.
Fair enoughThis would be "Business as usual" if Diddy wasn't coming at others for the same practices. This letter didn't see like Mase bitching, or Mase coming at Diddy. Seemed more like a little brother checking his older brother to stand by his word. To lead by example. To not be a hypocrite. Diddy can't be coming at the industry when he's part of Industry Rule #4080 himself
Donation to the notorious big fund.What would it have cost if he leased the same shit from a white boy for the video?
Did he though ? LolThey should be able to negotiate a price. Or a portion. Being that puff produced on songs
they got on by selling themselves out...
rollout of first single to album and first real media run they fall in love with fame and fantasy
swearing shit will last forever - easily manipulated by anything that feeds the ego
Bert Bedell dropped jewels on everyone tha6t sat in his office and 99% were deaf...
none of them were counting money or asking about budgets-
as soon as the business manager first tells them they are short on the rental or mortgage money
the publishing rights were sold
even now aint a damn thing changed - because 99% of these artists desire fame over everything - until its too late or almost over...
thats why the rare exceptions that really grew and have long careers are so different by how they came in focused on the music and LISTENING to old heads on watching $$ and looking out to flip business and branding independent of what labels and management companies bring to the table

The "Real" Reason Diddy Has Not "Worked With" Ma$e!

There are two sides to every story and here are the rumors in Diddy's defense.
SHARE COPY LINK TWEET
(AllHipHop Rumors) It is very hard for me to defend Diddy in light of what Mase has posted on his social media. Remember Mase was one of Diddy's main artists on Bad Boy Records, particularly after B.I.G. died. He was the pop star that helped propel Diddy to where he is today - a near-billionaire!
So, now Mase wants his publishing and is kicking up a whole bunch of dust for his former label head, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Is there another side? Before I say that we have to say that a lot of artists have complained about Diddy for years. Just about all of them have had something to say. The Lox used to talk about "Raping You Records" in relationship to Bad Boy Records. The list goes on and on. Mase is a unique one though.
Here is what I am hearing about the relationship between Diddy and Mase is complex. The ending...why did Mase leave the rap game? Over 20 years ago - on April 20, 199- Mason Betha left the rap game. "I gotta do what make me happy. A lot of people gonna say I'm crazy, I'm leaving money behind and a lot of things but it's just how I feel in my heart. Once God puts something in your heart–you know, God talks to everyone different," Mase said.
Now, I always was told that there was a God-clause in Mase's contract where he could leave and maintain his riches from Bad Boy if he left for religious reasons. Mase would go on to some success as a preacher under Creflo Dollar. Apparently, Tia and Tamara Mowry got him to turn to God. Mase left the game for about 5 years before coming back. It is my understanding that he "took" Diddy for millions with he left to be a preacher.
So, Diddy MAY feel that he is owed money and the only way to get back what he is owed is to retain ownership of his publishing. Remember that is the deal that Mase and his lawyer negotiated many years ago in the 90s. He may not have gotten a fair deal but he certainly had better times than I will ever experience, to be reallllllly real.
Did Mase swindle Diddy when he left and then offer to buy back his publishing essentially on a discount (compared to what he got away with)? That is the way the source is describing it. If you get away with $6 and offer back $2....don't expect the dude to take that deal. Hey, I can't call it, b. I would certainly be able to live off the money Mase had.
He was paid for the publishing, why he acting like he was robbed. These artists go rah rah on black music execs but never get at the white execs that pull the same shit.
This is what happens when black men learn business practices from white men. Berry Gordy was the same. if you wrote something and you were on his label, he wrote it. The only ones who caught a break was Smokey Robinson and Holland Dozier Holland. Damn near everybody else got fucked.Puff charges his own artists for him to appear in their videos
Puff learned from Andre Harrell, who learned from Russell who learned from them white boys how to take advantage of artist. Lest we forget Suge had to go to Uptown and rough up Andre Harrell to get Mary J and Jodeci released from some terrible contracts. Suge gets looked at as the bad guy, but he assisted many artist get out of contracts and secure portions of their publishing back by using money and fear tactics.
does Mase have his Harlem World publishing? i dont think Mase is an angel. i still ike and will support his music if he drops but..u still got my publishing from 24 years ago in which u gave me $20k.
Nothing more needs to be said

He damn sure did.
This isn't part how it happens:
You're an artist, and you were signed to a bad contract. It's ironclad, and you're fucked.
So, you start your own label and do unto others what was done to you.
That's half of it.
For people like Diddy, he just saw how it was done and saw the people around him get rich so he continued the same practices.
Thinking back, do you remember when Fabolous confronted Ludacris about screwing with his royalties and numbers?
Ludacris said, go get your fucking lawyer. Fabolous brought his lawyer, and they combed through everything to find that Ludacris didn't screw him over at all...
then he promptly told the fucker to get the fuck out of his office and kick them off his label and we haven't heard from Fabolous since Holiday Inn... Maybe he's working at one
You don't have to screw over people just because you're the man in charge now. But, in America they call it business, capitalism. When in reality, it's just screwing over the little man who doesn't know any better.
It's giving a starving man a Ritz cracker. He thinks you gave him a meal and he's grateful... When you just gave him a fucking Ritz cracker.
by the time he realizes that you made a shit ton of money off of him and all he got was a cracker, you're rich as fuck and he's broke as fuck...still...but he's famous...which is worth...fuck all
He also charged them for appearing in the video lmaooooDidn't puff you used to have his cars and homes in the videos and would charge the artists for it out of their budget?
Yea. He produced a check to somebody to say he made it.Did he though ? Lol
He damn sure did.

Really
He also charged them for appearing in the video lmaoooo
That shit and the fact the Nig would step in a producer studio and press 2 or 3 buttons and than claim he helped produce that beat is top 5 funny fuckery displays from puff... Nig will show up to the artist vid in his whip than tell the cameraman to shoot him for like 5 mins while he lays on the door of his car doing hand gestures and moving his lips and say put that part in the vid... Than later on charge them for thousands for that cameo.. That fuckery is so over the top it could be a skit
