say an artist like a chingy or lil zane who could really use that extra $$$? i dont really see 50 or snoop needing to do this unless they are just greedy.
and all of u up here debating and philosphizing about violence, corporate greed and capitolism are waisting your time. 99% of the cats in the rap game now are there to make $$$ and lots of it. its not about the message, the love of the music, the culture, its about getting rich and getting famous now. most of these artists are writing rhymes with $$$$ on their mind so this "deal" is right up their alley...
