I really like these music industry deep dives. Like every industry, people romanticise the good parts but don't care about all the ways people get exploited and taken advantage of by these greedy companies. A lot of people want to be signed and get the deal just to be making pennies on the dollar. Thug was smart enough to get out that trap but many are not.. Great video Astro.🚀
🙏🏽 thank you I appreciate it. I definitely want to highlight more stories similar to this going forward. Like you mentioned a lot of ppl are taken advantage of. I think it could shine light on a different part of the industry.
I’ll never forget when Alamo Records presented me a deal for $20k, my manager tried to tell me "thugs first deal was for $15".. like that shit matters to me, free Jeff though 😢
@@Master_spooky thank you bruv, I’ve come to realize that if my dream doesn’t work out how I want it to I’m grateful for the freedom and opportunity, let alone the peace and joy I have in my life. the industry steals, kills and don’t discriminate. Ain’t no such thing as privacy - im cool with the underground.
At that time they were offering a lot of people similar deals I declined but it's hard to say no to industry legends and the payoff is off of shows. Lyor is smart
I can feel it. It would be hard to turn down especially when these guys run most of media period. Lyor is smart and a shark. Ima dive into him as well one these days.

“I signed the most fucked up deal”
the song that really popped off thug in the city was this song called I got it by cash out ft young thug.
On god I’m from Cincinnati that’s the first song I heard thug on back in that time he took off after that verse 🔥💯
"100 dollar autograph" feat rich kidz popped him off in the city 👍🏿
Yeen gettin money mane? Boi u need to stop it!! My right pocket slopppyyyyy
Good job on this video

Don't ever sign to 300 records, Lyor Cohen and Bird an, you'd have nothing left. Haha.
He had the plan already….he just needed the platform…he said he knew how to get out the deal easy…he just needed to use em😂 chess master thugger
