Bizzy Bone Breaks Down His Cash Money Deal
By Bizzy Bone, as told to Grouchy Greg Watkins

Hello AllHipHop.com, this the first of many press releases of yours truly. This is Bizzy Bone formerly of Bone Thugs n Harmony.


I say formerly for reasons I'll later reveal.



So the press release is not taken out of context let me clear up the Cash Money issue right now before jealousy of the playa hata's sets in.



Actually the discussion I had was about how Cash Money, Young Money, G-Unit, Bad Boy and similar labels have SURPASSED MAJOR LABELS in marketing and promotion and all out record sales in the industry.



My view was seeing how Bone Thugs n Harmony (in my eyes a mega legendary group) has been placed in a losing situation.



This is the reason why I (BizzyBone) decided to go on my own and deal with labels of the Cash Money nature.



To me it would be the ideal label for the likes of myself or even the entire Bone Thugs n Harmony group.


Cash Money, Young Money and such labels as this know how to treat a artist.


Whether the artist has been in the industry for a decade or brand new to the system.

They (Cash Money, Young Money, G Unit etc.) respect the artist position and know how to market and promote a top caliber artist(s).

:Basically to keep a artist hot:




The label has to believe in them and clean them up so they shine like the pristine diamond (10 million + copies) sellers that they've accomplished.

Instead these major labels put huge names on the roster for looks and investments. Treating a artist like shit , but bigging them up towards investors for larger budgets and when its goes down hill the blame is on the artist(s) or group(s).

That makes the artist(s) value go down lower and lower and puts forth a black cloud over them that only talent and perseverance can dissipate.

Only Lyor Cohen (from my studies and research) truly understands this fact.

Labels like Cash Money, Young Money, G-Unit have continuously showed majors THERE IS NO RECESSION!



This is simply a excuse for majors to sit on their asses and control who's hot and who's not.

Whether their endorsement of who's hot is mediocre or flat out shitty (with enough radio and hype any artist can look successful) yall know who they are no need to call em out. Playa gotta eat.


With Barack Obama being the first black president and jobs in MAINSTREAM AMERICA declining, this was a opportune time to feed the Hip Hop community this (Recession) fallacy.

Remember HIP HOP COVERS THE GLOBE NOT JUST MAINSTREAM AMERICA!

There is enough money for everyone.


Lil' Wayne 1 mill + in
1 week, Drake 450,000 + in one


With them under the Cash Money umbrella I can see how people can misinterpret my comments.


With the recent sales of Bone Thugs, mediocre at best, I feel it is a must to stand up for my brothers, regardless of me being a solo artist since 1998 contractually, they still my muh~f**ken dude's.

So I'm standing for them and others caught in that dark place. With Bone I learned to separate Business and pleasure, friendship and personal. Those are my golden rules towards the brothers.


So that was the discussion. Basically Cash Money has the upmost respect from me along with their offsprings and affiliates.


BABY, SLIM, FIDDY, DIDDY (Sean Combs), bless yall for yall continuous work in the Hip Hop community. I see yall and appreciate you all as well as the others whom follow in yall footsteps.

I'm 44 records deep and even celebrity rehab won't take me? (Some humor)

Also I'm not trying to have any falsehood statements or press releases out there.

Thank ALLHIPHOP.COM for getting this straight. Very reputable of you and expedient.


Lock down Love Lil Wayne. The entire Hip Hop community eagerly awaits your return.


Peace,
Bizzy the Kid

(yall remember used to be in Bone Thugs n Harmony?)

P.S. I was asked by the group to not go on tour because I negotiated my own show money that's why I wasn't there.
Long Live Child Support BUCK BUUUUUUUCK!

I'm a Bizzy fan, but does he not know the industry enough to know that Cash Money is owned by UMG (Universal Music Group)... So saying they've surpassed all the major labels, is an ignorant statement when everything Cash Money makes, UMG gets a percentage of that... It's the same with UMG/Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit... It's get the money, and pass it back...

I HEARD THEM NIGGAS TRYNA WORK ON A DEAL WITH SHYNE TOO
Click to expand...
yeah shyne said he's been real cool with baby and that he's thinking about dropping an album on Def Jam, but also dropping another one on Cash Money. and doing it again


After just about a decade in prison and being away from music, Shyne obviously has an enormous amount of fodder to expound upon now that he's able to record again. The Brooklyn-raised MC already has a distribution deal with Def Jam to put out an LP called Gangland in December. And while talking on Skype to MTV News last week, he revealed that there may be a whole separate project coming at the same time.
"I'm done," Shyne said of Gangland, which is also the name of Shyne's imprint. "I'm just making albums at this point. I'm on my fifth album. I'm not sure, me and Baby [Birdman] been talking. We been talking about doing the Cash Money thing where I put one album out on Def Jam, distributed by Def Jam, and Baby [will] distribute one album on Cash Money."


The LP on Cash Money would be called Messiah."I might do that. I'm not sure," Shyne said about coming with the Cash Money back project. "We're still finishing the fine points and negotiating that. Maybe I'll come with something six months later, [maybe] every six months. I've got so much to say, you dig? I don't think I can answer all the questions on one album. So I definitely think we can
put out two different albums on the same day at the end of the year, then come back with a third one or another double set six months later. Get all this sh-- off my chest."


Shyne points out that besides street affiliations, there's a strong musical connection between himself and the Cash Money millionaires Baby and Lil Wayne.
"I've known Baby since I was young blood. Since I was coming up. I remember they used to come to New York and perform. Cash Money been running for a long time, since '97, putting it in. I remember when they were coming to New York and putting it in. That's when Wayne was a real young blood at the time. They performed at the Tunnel and I used to stay in contact with the theme through my co-defendant.
"[Birdman] was gonna take me on tour with them, then I got locked up," he continued. "He reached out to me and let me know if there was anything he could do to assist. When I was about to come out, he reached out to me again to see if there was anything he could do to help me. We've always had an open line of communication through the same banner, through the same rag. That's inevitable. I've got the utmost respect for what he does. [Baby's] a real roller, putting it in. He built Cash Money from nothing to something that's been great. Wayne, what's up. Rikers Island, I know the brothers is taking care of you in there. So Cash Money is definitely family."
Shyne says a video for his new song "The Roller Song" is already in the can and should be released within the next few weeks.
