This video should open a lot of people eyes when they say that they want to get into the music business

Birdman and Cash Money needs to stop this bullshit !!!! lets not forget that it was LIL WAYNE who kept Cash Money hot all these years and it was LIL WAYNE who called/found/signed Drake and it was LIL WAYNE who found/signed Nicki Minaj and it was LIL WAYNE who found/signed Tyga . . . . . Birdman and Cash Money hasnt done shit to be honest, I really hope that Young Money gets to branch away from them, then you'll see Birdman crying.

That was a great break down. I can't wait to see how Birdman tries to get out of this, or better yet, see him worm his way out completely. Hopefully he gets whats coming to him. But like they said in the video, we're only hearing 1 side of the story

Makes Complete Sense now we see  how birdman splurges on million dollar cars, million dollar watches. its kind of crazy, im guessing he gives them gifts (cars, watches, etc) from time to time instead of paying them the worth

[hailtofashion]

one of your best videos tbh no bs this time.

Shout out to Reggie Osse and Complex, this was a short but comprehensive look into Wanye's allegations against his parent label.

I think we all knew Cash Money was notorious for shelving people's projects and being funny with their royalties but I never would have thought they'd bite the hand the feed them.

 Especially when the Cash Money veterans; Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie Fresh jumped ship!

[DeezyMilano]

this is why im still independent frfr fuck that I have full control over

[jeffreymbelu]

Thank you that was broken down perfectly

[kratos]

Clearly you don't understand the influence that Wayne had on hip hop, he's right under Kanye in my opinion. All you youngins' started hating on wayne right about 2010. Everybody who KNOWS about hip hop knows the influence that he had, np and that influence is in all your favorite rappers. Notice many big lyrical rappers like Kendrick and J Cole, many even Kanye pay respects to him. Because they know what real rap/ hip hop is all about. And as a side note, his rock album went gold. FUCKING GOLD

Birdman's days of rubbing his hands together in slow motion will soon be over.

S/o the #complexmagazine for this breakdown cuzz me & my friends have been having this debate on how & why this lawsuit came about since Wayne's announced it.

[Smokesterr]

Cash money smart for leeching off drake.

[obinnambachu]

Makes so much sense now. I thought Wayne was crazy asking for $51 million but now it is clear. I just hope justice is served!

[mrking]

All of this and Wayne is still calling Birdman daddy Lil Wayne need some counseling. Birdman did something to his head

[heavnli_goddess]

Very informative... I was wondering what was going on.

[shannonleeann]

how do you keep working with someone who owes you 8 million?

[blakemelkey]

I forgot about all of this. Lil Wayne needed some better lawyers

[CristMakhanya]

Advances ain't your money it's a loan

[MarvinSpitsBars]

I've searching for some kind of explanation thanks

[sketchedification]
