if the label doesnt smell a hit theyre gonna get tight on the funds. Motive is family of the roots that are basically signed to mca. You could say that if the roots were talent scouts/a&r for a label this would be the result. No one except MCA has control of funding. This group is too hard working to be shorted like this. Without a recording/marketing/video/promotions budget (see: common, the roots, d'angelo, jill) your options are limited
