Nipsey Hussle Speaks On Going Back Independent

Nipsey Hussle: Honestly, I was always independent before I signed to Epic [Records]. The way that Epic heard about me was thru our movement as All Money In: what we was doing in L.A. as far as mixtapes…as far as the touring we was doing just in our region. So when we got with Epic it was kinda like we started working together. But, just to keep it completely 100, I’m in the process of negotiating my release right now. And we just gonna go back to doing what we been doing, as far as an independent company and serving our region. But it wasn’t really no big fallout with the label or nothin’ like that, it’s just Epic went through internal changes: they fired the president, Amanda Ghost, [after] actually becoming a subsidiary of Columbia [Records]. Half of they staff is gonna be laid off or fired. And the original staff that brought me in the building, that shared the original vision of really what Nipsey Hussle was, they’re all gone. So, being fair, it ain’t really nobody in particular that we can point the blame on, it just kinda was like a [dissolving] of the core team that started on the project. So it serves both interests for us to just go back to what we was doing originally. I’ma walk away with all my masters; I’ma walk away unobligated, with my brand built. And it’s all love and respect for everybody at Epic. We took a chance together. It was a lot of money spent, a lot of success together, and it’s no hard feelings.


I think this is the only way he would be able to drop an album anytime soon. Tweet

Nicki Minaj DID NOT Sell More Than Lauryn Hil

I Fuck with Nicki and her album was pretty dope BUT people think she did better #'s than the GREAT Lauryn Hill. "Pink Friday" album sold a little over 375,000 during the first week, making it the SECOND highest debut week in the history of a female rap artist. The last female to sell this big was Lauryn Hill with “The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill” which sold 422,000 units during its first week (Which ended up going 8x Platinum). I thought she went Diamond which is 10 million sold Can anyone clarify this for me?? leave it in the comment box below.

Nicki Minaj broke the record because Lauryn Hill’s album wasn’t under the Rap/Hip-Hop genre. Minaj took Missy Elliot’s spot, who previously held the title for highest selling in the Rap/Hip-Hop genre, selling over 200,000 her first week, making the Young Money artist the highest selling female in rap history.
