No, see you need to change a couple of words there. I am smarter than you and you are beneath me. Thats how your sentence should read. You were simply at the wrong place, at the wrong time, so now you have to ride it out. Don't take it personal, I simply have to make an example out of you. You aren't the first, won't be the last, and you're now part of a unique club. :dead:

Flaccid...a word you've used with your doctor countless times I bet. Listen, the argument is just fine, you simply don't have the ability to answer, and cmoke is doing a good job dancing around the question. In fact, he is doing such a good job he is afraid to post in his own thread and lacks the ability to defend himself. Again, if my argument is weak, why is it that several people here comprehend it and are now asking the same thing I am asking? I'll tell you why. Because you and your bed buddy don't make any sense, and his argument about what rappers are doing will take a nose dive as soon as he answers the question. As soon as he answers the question the "blame" will shift directly back to white people, and this is what cmoke DOESN'T want to address.
And my question is derived from the statements and questions CMOKE asked. Do you now see how the questions I presented are pertinent to this convo, or do I have to explain it?
You didn't have to.
First of all, I don't need to be an intern at interscope nor do I need to have read 50's contract to have an idea about how the money he gets is distributed. Why? Because 50 himself has been quite vocal about his situation, what his arrangement is, etc. In addition, most albums on major labels state in the inside who the publishing is going to, but because you're the next Einstein, you already knew that information. Am I saying I am in the mans pocket? No, But if we apply your fucked off logic 50 would be making more than the label and that is NOT reality. NO ARTIST ON A MAJOR LABEL IS GOING TO MAKE MORE THAN THE LABEL ITSELF. What the fuck do you think labels are in it for? To make others rich? No, they are in it to make THEMSELVES rich, BUT by making others rich, they can make themselves more rich. Again, if we apply your fucked off logic, it would be the same as a hoe making more than a pimp, a basketball player making more than the owner, or Cliffy B making more than Bill Gates. Please, take a GENERAL business class before you respond and make yourself appear to be another talking ass like the one from Shrek.
How have I side stepped the question when I've explained the difference several times now? Please, go back and read what was previously stated.
No that is NOT all this thread is about. When rappers were introduced to this thread it opened up the door for the question to be asked about label owners/execs and the responsibility THEY have. :dead:
No, they are very relevant, and the fact is several of those things would not have been mentioned if dunces like yourself had not made comments such as, "If rappers are using those words gratuitously and no one cares, why can't the rest of us...?"
Do you now understand? If you are going to make the claim that "no one cares" it only makes sense to disprove the claim by listing people who DO care. And what was your response? You back peddled and danced around your wacky claim on the grounds that you don't watch Oprah and don't care too much for Russel Simmons.
Word for the day: FALLACY.

P.S. I never said 50 made more than Aftermath or Interscope... You asked me who benefited from rappers using those words and I replied... RAPPERS...! So save your, business 101, hot air for balloon animals...
