His story never ever changes. If a certain topic or event is brought up, this dude always comes out with the same story. This is over 20 yrs give or take. The exact same. Salute the the Real Deal Gene
Never thought Puff,would do his bread winner like this💰💰💰💰💰
@@sinatrasmith4130 Puff is a bitch mate
@@sinatrasmith4130 I always believed puff knew what went down about biggie I believe Big was a sacrifice. Part of the evil, sick game of success.
Eddie B That’s exactly what I said. Which is why I say Diddy never came forward with a story. You can tell the truth on me and I won’t get mad but I’d have to address a lie. Diddy hasn’t addressed anything so Gene telling the truth!
Same thing I said he filled in all the missing blanks from puff an lor cese an d rock’s story bigge has his closeur atleast we kno what happen to him now
The more videos I watch from Gene about Big's situation, the more my chest tightens and my stomach hurts. The whole music industry is controlled by evil people
Gene Deal's Biggie story has always been consistent. It gets better each time he speaks about it.
Gene Deal we need that book bro!
Yolo .Vision fuck this nigga book lol bunch of pages pocket watching
I’m saying tho
for real!
Gene deal Biggs last night is better than any book he could write or get wrote if u listen to what lil cese d rock an puff story it’s the same as gene deals but they leaving parts out an he’s adding the real factts in an u have to be under a rock an mentally challenged to believe he’s makin this up he gave us a big closer real nigga
Let me show you how acts like Biggie, TLC etc end up broke. Let’s say an album sells a million copies at $10. That album has just grossed 10 million dollars. Most artist get from 6 points for artists who only break even to 10 points for big selling artist. If Biggie got 10 points, that’s 10 % of 10 million. Which means he pockets $1,000,000 dollars. The record label keeps $9,000,000. So hold your horses... the record company then charges you back for your video that cost at that time $100,000. Now you have $900,000 left. They charge you back for your studio and recording budgets, there goes another $500,000, now you have $400,000 left. The artists need money, cars, housing and living expenses. Personal advances $300,000. Now there’s 100,000 left. The album needs record promotion, giveaways, radio and Tv and social media support, that’s another $300-500 thousand, now you owe your manager 10% of that million before recoup, your attorney , 50, 000. Now you’re 400-600 thousand in debt on an album that sold a million. Artists make their money on Concerts , commercials and Personal appearances, but record labels got even greedier and now offer 360 deals. Meaning that they want a part of every profit making thing the artist gets. That’s how a lot of artists even though they sell a lot of records, end up broke.
Woah good calculations smh
Don’t forget about the IRS they taking half.
This will sound like I’m defending the record label but this is just a my perspective on why this happens. If you were trying to convince investors to risk millions of dollars on something that isn’t guaranteed, how would you do it? You’ve already laid it out,(all the recoups studio time, videos etc) it’s really good business from the label as the reality is they are taking all the risk. However TLC and Big should never be compared. TLC were a manufactured group, their image was fake and their songs were written by Dallas Austin.(He has an Interview with Vlad, the label were more than willing to give a deal he was happy with because he was valuable and would stand the rest of time). Big wrote his own hooks and lyrics, his image was his own creation. If Big lived he would have got a better deal negotiated and his own label too.(Gene spoke about the fact Big was in the process of doing this.)Also I personally don’t feel sorry for people that don’t learn once they get through the door and then don’t level up. Nas is a great example he signed two shit deals back to back, that’s why he ended signing with Jay. He makes money outside of music now but those bad deals were on him. In the streets once you get hit with shit work you bring a fiend to test the next pack before you buy next time. In the music business once you have a bad deal, you get your own lawyer and a different manager for the renegotiation. It’s just common sense in my opinion.
Actually you omitted the biggest piece of the pie. RETAIL . The industry calculations are based on the album retailing for 15 dollars a piece ( at that time ). The retailer gets between 8-10 dollars off each sale.
Slavery contracts study the business people facts 💯🙏👍💪
My man asked Gene if he could explain what "points" mean to the viewers at home that doesn't know what "points" mean, so he [the interviewer] could get a understanding of what "points" were because it's evident that he didn't even know. 🤔🤣
Lol I know right... nigga trying to get his DJ Envy shit off😆
Brother Prophet 💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Humpty Dumpty 🤓
It's crazy how everybody ignore all of this info about Puff. Smh
You know this brotha is speaking facts because he tells the story precisely.
One thing about this is that BIG, could show love because his mother loved on him so he gave back to other's that his mother shown him.....I got mad respect for Gene Deal 👍🏽💯❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Big Gene Deal is Correct about 2pac All Eyes on me did go on sale over 10 millions ...and his greatest hits Album also sold over 10 millions as well....makavelli sold 5 million copies and so on and so forth...Former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry was one of the first to say Biggie was getting rob contract wise...in his book Dancing with the Devil..Puffy tried to block his on his book as well ....I Bought the Book Twice once after lend it to some one and not getting it back....so I bought another one....2 pac was the first to call Puffy out before anyone before that interviews and on wax ...
Pacs album didn't go diamond until 15_20 years after it was released
Right , I’ve heard about that book recently and have wanted to read it , where can I find it ? And not to mention the executives, owners etc know how impactful And how much money they can bring in on albums, unreleased work and merch when a artist that’s hot dies/murdered at their peak 🤦🏾♀️it’s such a disgusting game at this point smh
What interview did Tupac say that in I can’t find it?
puff is the real snake..dont make a deal with this devil
Respect to big gene. Consistent story no matter the light or platform or time frame
Beautiful black sister!
Awe thank you king ♥️
GORGEOUS
Yes lord
Puffy planned BIG’s death, BIG was planning on leaving Bad Boy and Puffy knew that he would’ve benefited wayyyyyy more off of Biggies death than he would’ve if BIG left
Since hearing this, I’m even more convinced P diddy played a role in Biggies death.
That way he get ALL of the 💵. Cause he and everyone else knew, Biggie was a legend already.
He was worth more dead than alive, especially with Tupac “supposedly dead”😏.
This is a cold 🥶 world folks.
Hopefully when everything is over, we can find out the truth about EVERYTHING that ever happened in human history.
Cause a lot of truth has been twisted .... not just black history... history period.
Tupac 4life You Know it.
@Steve-O NWA Dont forget about Nipsey Hussle
@Cheryl Glover right literally every bad boy artist were robbed Craig Mack was another tragic tale 😞 Wouldnt be surprised if something happens to Mase soon he’s been trynna buy back his masters for awhile now and that fight has resurfaced again in the beginning of 2020 smh
Puffy is/was evil as hell
The industry crazy! Can’t trust nobody for real. Best thing to do is learn the business before you get into it. That learn as you go really means get robbed as you go...
Heavy_804 Exactly, or either start your on Empire from the ground up.
Yep
The standard contract for artists back then was a buck an album if you are lucky. Some artists were getting cents per album and the label gets to recoup out of the artist’s share. Biggie sold part of publishing to puffy early on for up front cash. That is known.
Left Eye broke it down..points are equal to pennies. 1 point is 1 penny. 2 points is 2 pennies. and so on.... some artist sign to get 7 or 8 points on an album. sounds like a little...but those pennies can add up to a nice chunk of change..
Yo Gene is brilliant...ive been watching Genes interviews all week and this brother is deeeeep... Hes very smart. I dont doubt him 1 bit on any topic he touches on..big up Gene
MMF MMF Brilliant? You are reaching.
That guy is to slouchy trying to interview Big Gene
Be concerned about the content. Not preliminaries. Petty.
@@edski8536 There's a lot of content out there but only a few can make a presentation. The interviewer is awkward and does not display any interviewing skills. A lot of 'ohhh mannn' as if he is stressed about something.
Pac sold 5 million in 2 months with AEOM. By Sept of 96, it was 6x platinum
Ms PENNY where u at????🙏
They REALLY need to update Pac record sales cause I’m sure he got sum more certifications by now
Tupac still died broke, Afeni Shakur said so, he couldn’t see it then but suge was screwing him too. Keyshia cole even said that pac was going to leave death row before death row east.
@@seanholmes5173 keyshia was 13 then. If anything he said he was leaving as an ARTIST. PAC’s expenses came from stuff they bought him such as cars that he couldn’t acquire for in his name,houses,etc. furthermore. It wasn’t a royalty department up there,so that threw everything off
@@SoundBiteInc- Oh okay thanks for explaining, stay safe🤝🙏🏾🙏🏾
TLC taught us about points. Pebbles beat them out of their money.
Big should’ve been in London not la but puff beg him to stay after the Hypnotize shoot 👀
Big gene said the puffy ain't let him leave to London, he called the president of bad boy and said not to fly him out to London then made big go to the concert cus he already paid to have big killed... my opinion being the latter which we all know is true...
Ppl need to accept the fact that you can’t compare biggie to pac,EVER! Both rap styles are different,biggie tells story & pac makes you look at life different to the point of making a change
SouthEast Wink 202 facts
@Abraham issac Jacob Yisrael yo could you please stop saying 2 pac the greatest ever. You need to clarify what a rapper is first. All you guys who claim pac the greatest don't even know 4 songs off his first 3 albums, shit! Probably can't name his first 3 albums without the internet. Pac was great because of his message in his interviews not his songs. Pac made about 7-10 positive songs. Biggie was all around perfection when it came to rapping, the man never had a wack song or waste a verse. Biggie killed every song he had,and every feature he was on. Both albums was great. It took pac until "me against the world " to make a great album. And that album sold because his court case and him going to jail. Then "all eyez on me" was riding off the moment of getting out of jail and joining death row. Pac made some great music but dude was a mediocre rapper at the time. Big was better,nas, raekwon, scarface, shit even snoop was a better rapper at the time. So please stop say pac the greatest rapper, and what's that's based on because it can't be lyrical content, story telling, rhyme, cadence, flow,wit, metaphors, word play. So if u say pac is the most influential based of his controversy, then yes!
MILTON CUNNINGHAM you need to pipedown slim! Biggie nor the other rappers you name was more influential nor had the most impact in hip hop than Pac! Biggie was great,just not great enough.......besides he stole pac’s entire identity and rhyme pattern
@@southeastd.c5636 y'all niggas on pac dick because he was the only one talking out spoken, he should of brought all that energy to the niggas who did that shit to him. Dumb niggas quick to put pac has this great because biggie wasn't as vocal as he was. Biggie let his music speak for itself drop 2 great albums and was on countless features.
Thank You!!!
"You understand?"
I hate how they did two of the greats man! Shit kills me.
Wow, reading that for the first time, is so sad to me.
I watched an interview where Daddy O broke it down about contract points and renewals. He broke down the shady business tactics labels used at the time to keep from paying out millions to their artists.
Seeing how FARR Puff went with Biggie name and brand....
its a NO BRAINER that B I G had the potential to be rich as HOV and Kanye. 🤧✨
For every album he sells he gets 2 pennies meaning if he sales 10 million albums, at $10 an album he gets 200,000
His description of points is funny af
These are some young kids that doing this interview. But babygirl she can get it. 👀👀👅❤
Timothy Harris u can get it too 👅❤️
CTFU lol 😂😂🤦
Gregory Smith 🤣🤣🤣
She wouldn’t give you the time or day. You are pathetic.
We’re grown grown not young kids Lmaoo 😅
To every artest out there make a Xmass song....it pays mariah Carey every December 12mil
Amen🥰🥰🥰Crazy thing is she talks a lot of shit on her music INCLUDING AIWFCIY🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 Tell the kids that song feeds us😄😄😄
On my mama mama he used my theology lol we spoke on that during his "Follow the paper trail" show good lookin Gene
2Pac sold more albums than B.I.G. google it.
Pac was in the game longer. He got with Digital Undergound in like 89. BIG first album ain’t drop til 94 and he died 3 years later. Do the math.
So! Who wanted to know??
Every time a BIG talk is up, there's a PAC fstan evesdroppings.
Go back to your room!
Right both was Legends tho
Victims of the 378 thank you..these immature tupac fans
@@pb2767 tupac solde almost 80 millions albums to this day in the work of 6 years biggie sold like 22 millions in work of 5 years so whos better? u tell me
pac is the goat can no body fuck with his work ethic even if u hate hime
rapper Poet wrote a book 7 movies modeling, sex symbol, tv shows
biggie was a good rapper
pac was a better artist by faaaaaaar.
Puff da 🐍
Gene dropping knowledge on em
Gene is officially solidified
A point on an album back then was 8.6 cents a record. Most deals artist got 7-8 points per record sold which were mechanical royalties before recoupment. Studio, videos, travel and marketing. The writing of songs is publishing. You get that per album sold and via radio play, song placement(movies, commercials)
Notorious BIG didn’t really know his worthiness & when he discovered his worthiness guess what happened.
Point 7 million sound about right if he sold 10,000,000. Most rappers don't get that.
Franklin Evans definitely sounds about right I don’t think big gene knows how the album break down really works to be honest .. because if he sold 10 million and got 7.5 check that’s actually great lol and the way he explains the points is all wrong big might have only been getting like 25 cent for every record sold
PAC the 🐐 don’t know how people can even say different it’s a fact
👎👎👎👎👎😹😂😹😂
Facts
Im miss biggie he was real hip-hop
God allows the wickedest people to live longer on earth so there sins can multiple but he takes away the good people at a early age so they don’t have to suffer the cruelty of this earth.
A bodyguard should not have this much knowledge.
That's real.
Lol him trying to say people dunno about points... scrambling to explain it. Then asking him to explain points is comedy
Nobody else comment on that shit to caught up in the drama ,funny as fuck nigga tryna explain shit he doesn't understand ....this phat kid with his sidekick who's head just keep swiveling left, right ,left sucks at interviewing he is no doggy d or aaron Carter's buddy baller buttbud
Wow! Gene is not liaring! Just nothing but the truth!
1996 last album before pac died sold a little over 6 milion....anno 2019 its getting over 10 or 12 mil
Daaaaaaaaamn! She is fine whos thus beautiful sister? Im new to this podcast
He lived it
Back then a platinum album made about 16 to 17 million but over 10 mill sold over a 100 mill but 7mill and some change is insulting but it's business unfortunately
He’s breaking down the way the points off an album works all wrong
Ok genius explain it correctly
calvinacb1 ok dickhead ...he broke down the way royalties and publishing points work ..album points don’t work like that.. let’s say B.I.G. was getting .25 cents for every album sold which is a high number for back then but ima say 25cent as an example..his album did 10mil which would times that by the .25 cent that’s only 2.5 million for the artist because the record company takes the rest and big sold his publishing to puff so that check was going to be light and royalties don’t start right away so if they cut ms Wallace a 7.5 million check that’s good depending on how his contract was set up ...unless they combined albums sold for ready to die and life after together then that’s fucked up and that’s probably what happened
@@pedrogates3189 Thanks pussy...my point was if you considered his break down wrong, why not say why you thought je was wrong instead of just pointing the finger that he was wrong?🤷🏾♂️
Your so correct ... Mr Deal knows you can't give the game for free ... He still gettin paid Thru parties to do the interview ... However he dose not want to give up That info ... I happen to have studied the point system as well ... I know how it works ....
Native indigenous22aboriginal idk if he’s still getting paid but he may have been confused about the breakdown ..the contract he never signed was the re-up contract worth 62 million that big gene said big showed to him I highly doubt he seen big’s original bad boy contract
🤫puff gonna killed this man
Wowww
Everyone blames Puff, but not the man who actually pulled the trigger. How does that work?
Puff lined his man up to get killed, you sound crazy my dude. Sit this one out
Jonathan Lewis I sound crazy? Were you there? Do you have any proof that would hold up in court? The answer to both of those questions is no. So who’s the crazy one.
mr x nigga B.I.G is dead fuck is you talking about
because the man who pulled the trigga is an anonymous paid goon, it could be anyone fueled by the person who financed the pulling of said trigger, regardless of who pulled the trigger, the motive of who paid and arranged is what killed him. do you blame the bullet or the gun, the trigger man is just the bullet, but guns are stocked with many bullets, if that one missed another on would hit, it seems puff may be the gun according to motive, actions and sworn testimonies
Puff had BIG out there bro when there was no need to be in LA at that time
points is %
2 points of a million is not $200k. 20 points would be worth $200k out of a million
We all tons of accounts of Biggie being upset at Puffy and his money
Expose Em Big Gene
All eyes on me diamond
Proverbs 6:16-7:7
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
All examples of what Puff did to Big which led to his death. Music industry is controlled by dark evil people and rap music is the leading category. For Puffy to not financially take care of the service and any other fees says it all plus lying and cheating Big on his contract. That p.o.s. P Dicky sold his soul to the devil and sacrificed Big in order to become wealthy. Truly sickening
I never knew anything about points. Good looking
Pablo Esco he didn’t not explain points correct. Points are a percentage., one point equals one percent.
@sean porter, good looking!
He has know clue what he is talking about!
Damage control
He doesn’t know what he’s saying,
a ‘Point’ = 1%, period.
200k from a million is 20%, or 20 points, not ‘2 points.’
A ‘Point’ simply means a percent.
Doesn't change the fact that they called it points lol
Lol, for anyone reading this 2yrs later. Gene did a good job of explaining percentage points. He was clearly just throwing a number out there and the math happened to be off. The point still stands, just like in the analogy that he gave. Rent for an owner can be a percentage of their overall mortgage, for the duration of their loan. Even more so, it can be compared to how streaming works, since a person is not actually paying for something they will own, they’re merely renting the song until they decide to close their dsp account (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, etc.), and once that is closed, the music is gone.
Percentages can be broken down in many ways, it all depends on what you negotiate for.
Points are basically cents on the dollar 2points is 2cents !
I wont dispute Gene's STORY but I WILL say he is not necessarily "correct" in his record business acumen ... Yes Big did go "Diamond" (as did Pac) ....That means he sold 10 million units . For Puff to kick out 7.5 million to the family for that 10 million sold is NOT unfair at ALL ... Thats about 75 cents per unit .. For an artist (ESPECIALLY in the 90's). to make a dollar per unit , was virtually UNHEARD OF .. Thats a Mariah , Whitney or Michael type of deal ..If you dont OWN the record company or have had one of those aforementioned type of deals , you will NOT clear 1 dollar per unit on a major label release . IF what Gene is saying is true (the 7.5. million) , thats not too bad at all ..Especially when you consider that Puff owned 50% of Big's masters (and Big had to renegotiate that to get it down to 50% if im not mistaken) . Now if Gene had meant ROYALTIES , mechanicals and such ---different story (for those that dont know , thats back end money) ...Let that sink it for a moment ..
2 hundred thousand dollars is two points if you got 2 points 2 points is two pennies per album and the advances are going to keep you in debt videos and promotional tour to promote the album and the only way you can make money is by doing shows
That's not how points work.
Always start your own label if your serious about being a long time musician. Own the masters n all that shit. I'm not educated at all but god damn y'all gotta start seeing the pattern.
Iv V IKR!!!!!
So thats why puff had to fly out asap to San Diego ?
If Gene is here I click on the video
Points is residual income
Lol this guy interviews people for a living? Hope he got a day job.
Right! I've never seen such a horrible interviewer
Power of Attorney - Biggie didn’t have to sign his contract (google search what power of attorney means)
That one hater must be puffy
Shorty lookin badd
Baby is Stacked. 😍
2pac sold all those records on all eyez on me before his death he said I sold 5 million in the first week
I'm just a little confused on why many of this stories just coming out 20 years later. It's like a a slow drip of information every few months week's or years 🤔
When you sign a life insurance contract your stipulating that you have funds to pay for you last wishes.
Who’s the young lady in this video
So who should pay for one's own funeral?
Wow man i really hope d roc didnt turn on big big really dug that dude thats what he told me
Puffy set biggie up so smooth.so sad.
Who the lady in the middle name
She is fine
All eyes on me sold 10 million.
Not how points work
2 percent of a million is 200k. gotcha
20% of a million is 200k.
