but not at the same time. i was saying to my brother the other day they might be trying to build a more in-depth story behind him, let him suffer a lil bit, get that underdog status up
so that when he DOES come back out its more impactful financially for them.
i mean dude dropped an EP and NOBODY knows about it. i only know about it bc i went
searching to see if he has any other music and was shocked to find out it dropped
in november. they gonna bail him out one day, watch. (lol)

did he run through his advance that fast?
and if the label has made their money back it seems like 200k wouldn't be a big deal when the opportunity to make even more money (off this arrest even) is out there

comin' home.


I can't believe muhphuckas really be wanting their BOSS to come bail them out of jail. Sh*t don't work like that in the real world, and seldom works like that in entertainment.


Pac only got out because Suge was wooing him over to Tha' Row.

they can afford to bail him out but they risk appearing like they've condoned his actions and aligning themselves with his crime by doing so. right now they can say "oh we signed him because of his music but we don't condone any of those things...etc.". if they bail him out they lose that argument and have to go on a campaign of "innocent until proven guilty" and all that which they probably don't feel is worth the trouble.

the other thing is, if they bail him out at 200k using whatever other assets as collateral and he for whatever reason fucks up again or skips bail then they really lose.

so they're just sitting tight and letting it all play out. if he gets off they still have him under contract and can still make money off him. if he gets locked up they can either cut their losses or release his album and make some change off it despite him being locked up.

they're just playing it safe like a big corporation is expected to. they don't give a fuck about him and he's not valueable enough to risk anything over. they'll just find another one of him.

about the streets if they were concerned about that. it's not like he's singing uplifting music. they're just cheap. his music will sell online anyway and bring them money. but most of the money now is made touring and performing and he can't if he's required to stay in the state. so, may as well leave his ass in jail.

but him catching a case while under their employment is another story. They will just let dude ride out the justice system and if he gets off they'll be right back to exploiting him. He's not valuable enough to be attached to and for them to provide backing to him at this point though. They're just keeping their names out of it.

They also probably don't think he will make them much money beyond the hit single so why bother investing more?

This is no different then when teams release a player who catches a case. They want to distance themselves from it altogether. The difference here is that once the shit dies down they will still have the option of continuing his contract should they choose.

Edit: We actually don't completely disagree. Money is definitely part of it but it's deeper than the 200k they would have to put up to bail him out. They probably weighed whether it was worth investing in bailing him out and backing him while he goes through all this and figured it wasn't worth it. They already cashed out on his hit single.

Anyone else feels this way? trying to figure out how I distinguished the two in my mind. It might just be when I saw Schmurda in intreviews I found him personable and seemed like such a kid to me.

I changed sidewalks if I saw Keef coming AFTER I saw him in an interview.

Shrugs.

Pitchfork was loving the idea of taking that fool to the gun range and filming it

whereas it didn't seem like Shmurda would have gone down that route as far as really giving Pitchfork or Epic that kind of material to work with

i know folks were cringing at that video of him performing but he was being offered an out

plus keef doesnt' seem apologetic or remorseful and he's had friends and family die AFTER "blowing up" because the flames kept being fueled

this is my observation on it. it may not be the most accurate. it's not like they had to "control" shmurda the short time he was signed. he was pretty much doing shows and stuff. he wasn't threatening anyone or displaying weaponry like keef. and this case that's against him was being built long before he blew up

Just listened to one of his garbage-ass songs (first time I've heard anything by him). Just more "I'm a thug" trash talk raps. Can't feel sympathy for a dude promoting negativity having some negative shit happen to him. Fuck Chief Keith too.

Probably harder to deal with because the pain and dysfunction is deeper.

Gotta see through the bullshit and at least try to understand our brothers and sisters.

Da hell epic care about giving dude a few months out. If he somehow beat the charge, he under contract anyway. Epic win no matter what.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
