Its not if you invest your money instead of blowing it on cars and jewelry etc invest in land rental properties anything that will generate revenue make sure you save up to buy your master's and publishing back that's what you live off alot of artists today just live for the moment but take Dolph for example he was well off he invested in over a hundred rental properties in Memphis not including buying all kids houses cars so they good when they get older he created generational wealth for his family before he departed this world frfr
That logic doesn't make sense for everyone. Look at the catalog as a business. Businessmen literally build businesses to sell in the future. Also just because a artist owns his masters doesn't mean he knows how to profit off of them. That's a business within itself.

In like 2004-2005 I use to watch Vibe magazine TV show .. and Pharrell was talking about an artist he's working with named Slim Thug .. and Pharrell was bragging about Thug business endeavors and success and that was 20 years ago.. so good to see Thug still being successful and smart with his money.. real real inspiration
I remember Pharrell saying that when he gave slim thug production, he said slim showed up with a duffle bag with the cash for the Pharrell produced tracks. Which left an impression on Pharrell. Slim thug been smart from the beginning

It’s worse in our community. Mfkz be lying about it. It’s a front. I’d rather sell my own shit to the masses with no strings attached to nobody except myself I’m the little man the middle man and the top man.
Slim thug... net worth.... 2 mill Master P... net worth ... 297 mill Tyler Perry ... net worth ... 1 bill In other words .... slim thug is not the guy to be taking advice from.. 😂😂😂
I was wondering how much he was worth since he hasn’t put out music in 10 years.He’s just trying to talk about principal and black peoples image and likeness in the hands of others.
actually yeah he can lol if you move correctly lol it's called being a boos lol we all have the potential but yes we have to get the check in order to start writing them 💯💯
Slow yo words Be careful what u wish for U is NOT saying the man writing the check is above the man getting the check when issa car crash Getting the check and writing the check u gotta be smart
One thing I remember Master P saying is if we’re to falling off he got the hustle the drive to get it all back again I remember P saying something along those lines even if he is falling on hard times real one’s know how to get it back up
I disagree with 1 thing thug said...some of the biggest billion dollar companies started off with loans in some form..some take out loans to start their companies and others get captial from Kickstart campaigns
The advance money and contract structure is totally different from a business bank loan. The rappers should actually acquire a business loan and fund their own rap career. The bank will not own your business, music, touring, merchandise or Masters and the interest rate on the loan will be more favorable.
Our ancestors was trying to teach us this own your self.But like he said we listening to this and that selling our souls trying to tell broke people this the way to go.We lost our way
nas is also an exception to the rule, he signed to def jam in order to get 3 mil per album & as soon as he got his masters back nas went independent.

Tech N9ne is a businessman and I respect people that think like you Slim Thug. The only way a person sells their business is if they're losing money or going out of business. That speaks for itself.
Definitely not true. The whole point of building a business is to grow it to a point to where you can cash out at a substantial profit margin. Michael Jordan just sold the Charlotte Hornets, he didn't sell ot because he was losing money and he sold it for 4x what he paid for it. The L.A. Clippers have been a bad franchise forever yet when Donald Sterling was forced to sell he sold it for 2 billion, he paid 12 million for it in 1981. You do whatever is smart business at the time.
@@imaking123 why do you think Donald sold the Clippers? Why do you think Jordan sold his piece of the Hornets? I'm not selling anything of mine that is making substantial cash flow. Ask yourself, why would you do that, then you will get a logical answer if you think logically.
What Boss Hogg said was, if they are doing so well financially, why are they selling their Masters. Think about it. Why would you sell the thing that made you an accomplished businessman unless the money is not moneying.
@@fernandezcarter817Michael Jackson bought the Beatles back catalog for 47.5 mill and 10 years later sold HALF of it to Sony for 95 mill. Do you think the Beatles catalog has depreciated in value?
@imaking123 he sold that cuz he made a bad decision with shoring game stop. he's a great basketball player, a great spokesman, and an impuslive degenerate gambler that has cost him in many different ways.
Selling a home is different b cause you can buy another one. You can’t buy your master back. What thug is saying these people are selling their rights to their music. He gave an example. What these people are doing is selling the franchise of chick fi La and taking what they make in one day as the price. That’s stupid.
With music and entertainment, we have the ear and voice of the people. Companies pushing your material with your ideas for free. Music can pay forever especially rap. Add to your catalog, get in some movie/commercial scores. Takes mass marketing. Soul song “I heard it through the Grapevine been a hit 40-50 years. Someone getting paid. Re-up skill set for current times because that’s all music industry does by hiring someone who knows. Don’t sell your catalog; expand it. For icons, it’s lot easier with doing the work.
Slim got to be right because if they couldn't make money off of their catalog then they would not buy them from the artist. It's an investment for them. Slim is a smart man
I’m not sure what he’s talking about but there are so many examples of people creating a “business”, “idea”, “catalog” and then selling it to the highest bidder.

I was shocked when Nelly sold his catalog. "Hot in Herre" is still a relevant song. I'm shocked he couldn't just tour and make the $50 million he sold it for.
Cuz he damn near 50 he probably don't want to tour for another 5 to 10 years more he already done got almost 20yrs off that music it's time to relax and set the grandkids up 🎉 and I'm from st.louis

She don’t own her masters she had to re-record all her old songs to try to mitigate, still don’t own them. The money is NOT in owning your masters. The only reason masters are profitable for labels is because they have the machine and the power to call in favors and put a song in a commercial, movie, or make a label sample it for their next big hit. If you can’t do those things, which is almost impossible to do without top industry connections, your masters ain’t that much money. Owning them is great but it’s not gonna make you nearly as much money as the labels gonna get off of it.
@nathanieljones1367 you're gong to wait 20 years to get 100 million when you can get it now? You might not live that long. you might not even see 100 million
You know he speaking facts when all these so called rich rappers haven't even created and investment firm? Why rappers don't band together and create firm or hedge funds? Why cause they just wanna preach about death and destruction and let other people benefit and our communities suffer. Facts
I have part of an answer for you! They’re rappers who tried this twice, they were either killed or had their reputation torn down! This is that racism stuff that gets swept under that table! And no, I’m not screaming VICTIM, but this does happen to keep power out of black hands…… hint hint “Kanye”
But music isn't Percy Miller's paycheck though. He has product lines and food. His son has slightly over 1 million NIL when he went to play basketball for college and another son on the way to do the same. So it may very well be feasible for some people to make their own decisions. It ain't for ANY OF US to question people like Percy Miller's hustle. He is solidified as a hustler! Even more so than most that are speaking on his name.
I'm okay with slim thug saying this but these guys don't never say this when they're on top they always say this after they get out of the industry even though they're in it for life
That's what I always say about people and their trials in life...they tell the world way too late when their testimony would have helped many way earlier.
Master P brought real money to the rap game and trail blazed how to be an independent artist and dustribute your own work. There would be no Slim Thug independence without Master P. Dumb go with a lot of rappers but dumb/Sugar daddy does not even come close to P. P did in 2 years what 30 top rappers couldn't do in a life time. Also the goal of 99.9999 percent of entrepreneurs is to sell their business. It is called an - exit strategy. I love Slim but he off on this one.
Definitely not true Texas n cali dudes been was grinding independently for decades that's why when their run in the mainstream died down they went right back to the underground and still was eating.Master P got his indie knowledge from being out in the bay area in richmond.His music career started out there not new orleans
Managing Masters ain't the issue... these rapper's made music that didn't age well... the artist that made the music that they poured their soul into it... but majority of the 2000's artist was one and done
"Manager their masters" Exactly 💯 right. Russ put out 11 albums solo then started to put out singles to create a buzz around his catalog. If you just know how to rap and perform and you don't know the business of course you gonna sell that catalog. But if you see sir mix alot and how he made millions off of baby got back from so many licensing deals then selling your catalog would look a bit different.
You would think that seeing as many artists that struggled to gain absolute control of their masters, that no one would be goofy enough to want to sell their masters and that’s one of the things that I can’t understand. If they don’t want to do the legwork, why don’t they just hire somebody to be a custodian over their masters, while retaining ownership of them
What good is owning masters that are worthless? Sure you own it.. but it’s making you $29 a year. Or sell them for 50 million. Which you would’ve never made on your own
There's a reason why Michael Jackson bought all the catalogs he bought. There's a reason why Prince was fighting to get his masters back. Only now have they been able to convince Mike's family to sell all of that back. Why do you think Jay Z negotiated for his masters?
Mike owned the Beatles catalog which generated enough money for his family to live off of and the same goes for Prince. So it only makes sense to not sale those catalogues. Master P and his family can’t live off No Limit catalogue bc it doesn’t generate the type of money that you think it does. If it did he wouldn’t have to sale it. The artists that are selling their masters would die before they see the type of money that they’re getting from selling their catalogues. Selling a catalogue for $100-$200 mill and investing that into another business is a lot smarter than holding it and dying before you get that money.
He's talking about the effect those master transfers have on the mentality of everyone in the culture, where we think like vendors instead of venue owners. You can disagree, but it a respectable position that is practically unheard.
He giving game bruh like he should no harm in what he said. Each one teach one don’t harbor game that our peoples problem. He saying hold on to your business it’s worth something substantial if they want to buy it from you, 💭
Master P is really a smart businessman. Should get his input on why he moved the way he did. I remember my cousin telling me a story about slim thug and his people going to club one and trying to get everything free. They were deep too not wanting to pay a cover fee? Im just saying everyone hustles at their own pace.
When you understand business you know you can use your catalog as leverage to borrow against it. Once you secure the capitol using your catalogue as an asset Leveraged you can invest in other assets or business. All while retaining your catalog!

I feel ya Thugga you speaking facts since day 1 💯
The rappers that don’t have to keep up a façade are the ones that are not on social media constantly.
I was shocked when Nelly sold his catalog. "Hot in Herre" is still a relevant song. I'm shocked he couldn't just tour and make the $50 million he sold it for.
Wow 😯 didn’t know he sold his catalog
Cuz he damn near 50 he probably don't want to tour for another 5 to 10 years more he already done got almost 20yrs off that music it's time to relax and set the grandkids up 🎉 and I'm from st.louis
@@SpaceManTbyea but his music is used to commercials and tv. You’d think he could have given those rights to his grand kids
@@freddycalipari4242 u have to remember those are songs who's to say in the next 10 20,30 years somebody will want to hear that or be willing to pay a high dollar for his music his dream was music he did that capitalize now he can set up his next dream or his grandkids dream remember they can/may be into something totally different with a nice job already behind them. I say W 4 Nelly
I feel that leaving them a residual legacy is more important
I believe Tyler Perry is a perfect example of an absolute businessman that is in charge of his own life
Hes a gatekeeper.
He's successful because he's pushing the Agenda
Hes not in charge of anything, he cant make a move without the the jews at lionsgate/viacom permission
Real ish Slim. I'm with you on this message. Keep doing your thing bro. These people wanna own you. No different than the government.
Rap music for the most part is not timeless music. Selling your catalog for a more solid business opportunity makes good business sense.
Cali in the building, Damn I have sooooo much RESPECT for SlimThug 💯💯💯💯
He giving out free game and it's being ignored!!!!smh
Respect to Slim Thug!🫡
Man I love slim thug...keep it 100 all the time💪🏼💪🏼💛💙♿O.O.O.G...RESPECT AND LOVE FROM ST LOUIS MO
I could listen to Slim Thug drop knowledge all day.
Slim Thug that's the most powerful advice you can give 💯 And that's having our own. ❤
Even taylor swift fought hard to buy her own masters cause she knows the money is in owning your own masters
She ain't Hip Hop so we don't care.
@@kevincummings4563 maybe you clowns should listen to her instead of these broke ass hip hop artist lol
She don’t own her masters she had to re-record all her old songs to try to mitigate, still don’t own them. The money is NOT in owning your masters. The only reason masters are profitable for labels is because they have the machine and the power to call in favors and put a song in a commercial, movie, or make a label sample it for their next big hit. If you can’t do those things, which is almost impossible to do without top industry connections, your masters ain’t that much money. Owning them is great but it’s not gonna make you nearly as much money as the labels gonna get off of it.
And she white
@@eski_truv you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Old school artist are eating off of their masters. The internet is not free.
Bruh I agree 100% everytime we get successful we go selling the shit we gotta have something for our generation to have! It's sick!
Slim Is Speaking Facts Of Life
Slim talkin that Real shit ✊
Every business man knows the goal is to grow then sell
Sell or get more investors? Continue to expand and then sell. They be selling after 5 yrs 😆
I mean yeah but it’s masters which is royalties thats big passive income. Ain’t like selling a brick and mortar store service type shit
@nathanieljones1367 you're gong to wait 20 years to get 100 million when you can get it now? You might not live that long. you might not even see 100 million
Love slim thug dying breed of real true niggas left staying independent not selling his soul for a dollar keeping shit tight if u know what i mean
It’s amazing what wisdom can do to us
Slim making a lot of sense
I've never understood why these artists giving up their catalogs
Because they go broke and they have to maintain their fake luxury life…paying debts, taxes…etc
When Future sold his catalog I should have known that was the beginning of the end! These mfers are rich broke
They're selling to save their lives.
@@LadoEste9it’s not selling their catalog, they are selling the publishing rights… not their masters
@@mekhig.9350u are a fool…
Deeper thinking with clear truth right in front of us, Big Facts Bro🦾
Slim is absolutely right Tyler is prime example, Gettin it from the mud 💯💯💯
*”slim thugg da bawse!” 💪🏾 - MELL DUNEY 616*
You know he speaking facts when all these so called rich rappers haven't even created and investment firm? Why rappers don't band together and create firm or hedge funds? Why cause they just wanna preach about death and destruction and let other people benefit and our communities suffer. Facts
True financial literacy is hard too find in the hood no one speaks hedge funds and 401k we taught stack hustle and Pray
Nas owns a venture capital fund. Smart. We need more created.
I have part of an answer for you! They’re rappers who tried this twice, they were either killed or had their reputation torn down! This is that racism stuff that gets swept under that table! And no, I’m not screaming VICTIM, but this does happen to keep power out of black hands…… hint hint “Kanye”
Nas and his child hood friend created QueensBridge Capital. Also check out Chamillionaire
Agreed. Nas is the only one i know of
WELL HE IS RIGHT NEVER SELL YOUR PAY CHECK
But music isn't Percy Miller's paycheck though. He has product lines and food. His son has slightly over 1 million NIL when he went to play basketball for college and another son on the way to do the same. So it may very well be feasible for some people to make their own decisions. It ain't for ANY OF US to question people like Percy Miller's hustle. He is solidified as a hustler! Even more so than most that are speaking on his name.
I'm okay with slim thug saying this but these guys don't never say this when they're on top they always say this after they get out of the industry even though they're in it for life
That's what I always say about people and their trials in life...they tell the world way too late when their testimony would have helped many way earlier.
Us real grown brothas we understand you Slimm, peace to you baby boy✌️🏾
Slim is a real one 💯💯💯💯💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Keep spitting knowledge for the people that know how to receive it slim 💯.
Man i used to be on that Boss Hogg Outlawz hard...Them boys was underrated, highly underrated
Salute always to Slim Thug Boss Hogg since day 1
Master P brought real money to the rap game and trail blazed how to be an independent artist and dustribute your own work. There would be no Slim Thug independence without Master P. Dumb go with a lot of rappers but dumb/Sugar daddy does not even come close to P. P did in 2 years what 30 top rappers couldn't do in a life time.
Also the goal of 99.9999 percent of entrepreneurs is to sell their business. It is called an - exit strategy. I love Slim but he off on this one.
Facts! I don’t think he understand people build businesses to sell them, regardless of color.
1998 was a very very long time ago!!! It's been over 20yrs since Master P sold
an album or low budget movie cuh on gang😂🤣
Definitely not true Texas n cali dudes been was grinding independently for decades that's why when their run in the mainstream died down they went right back to the underground and still was eating.Master P got his indie knowledge from being out in the bay area in richmond.His music career started out there not new orleans
@@mxhughes In dat order
Ever think that some ppl wouldn't sell their business but pass it down to the next generation of family members? Like Walmart for instance, or Kroger?
People do sell their businesses. Lil Wayne sold his catalog for over $100M, what's wrong with that?
The fact that J Prince fought to get his masters for him only to sell it afterwards
He must have financial problems that's why
He had to pay for that presidential pardon
@@ilovejesuschrist992 Well, I would pay for my freedom as well.
Slim talkin in code. Pray for him and his family
I'm glad you man enough to say it bro and stand on it... and speaking the truth
It’s a lot of rappers who has catalogs but can’t manage their masters.
Managing Masters ain't the issue... these rapper's made music that didn't age well... the artist that made the music that they poured their soul into it... but majority of the 2000's artist was one and done
"Manager their masters" Exactly 💯 right. Russ put out 11 albums solo then started to put out singles to create a buzz around his catalog. If you just know how to rap and perform and you don't know the business of course you gonna sell that catalog. But if you see sir mix alot and how he made millions off of baby got back from so many licensing deals then selling your catalog would look a bit different.
Slim be speaking facts
Real talk bruh 💯
It sad the financial mistakes we makes as a people,and they sits back and laugh behind your backs .
I never felt P had the money they say he has...
Facts
Str8 FACTS! This man stay giving game that’s why I’ve been following him for years.
Yes, selling your business is called a exit plan, starting and selling your business is part of the game slim
That's True Talk spoken like a Boss!👍👍👍👍
You would think that seeing as many artists that struggled to gain absolute control of their masters, that no one would be goofy enough to want to sell their masters and that’s one of the things that I can’t understand. If they don’t want to do the legwork, why don’t they just hire somebody to be a custodian over their masters, while retaining ownership of them
What good is owning masters that are worthless?
Sure you own it.. but it’s making you $29 a year.
Or sell them for 50 million. Which you would’ve never made on your own
@@miked.336 re-read my last sentence please
There's a reason why Michael Jackson bought all the catalogs he bought. There's a reason why Prince was fighting to get his masters back. Only now have they been able to convince Mike's family to sell all of that back. Why do you think Jay Z negotiated for his masters?
And that's why they're gone them people is going to get they money one way or another
Mike owned the Beatles catalog which generated enough money for his family to live off of and the same goes for Prince. So it only makes sense to not sale those catalogues. Master P and his family can’t live off No Limit catalogue bc it doesn’t generate the type of money that you think it does. If it did he wouldn’t have to sale it. The artists that are selling their masters would die before they see the type of money that they’re getting from selling their catalogues. Selling a catalogue for $100-$200 mill and investing that into another business is a lot smarter than holding it and dying before you get that money.
@@4sure007 🎯 thank you my guy
That was all before streaming came i think that's why everybody selling there catalog
Pimp C ALWAYS said Slim is a real one‼️
I agree Slim. They don't understand finance and investments. There's levels to this.
Some people create business for the expressed purpose of selling it. They get a small percentage and a large check without the drama
Which ones??
@@Marc_Mastershave you never heard of franchising a business?
But this is the business model of almost every fast food place
A person can never grow worried about what another man got in his pocket
Facts its there life why folk be in folk bussiness so he broke he was rich whats the point 😂😂😂
He's talking about the effect those master transfers have on the mentality of everyone in the culture, where we think like vendors instead of venue owners. You can disagree, but it a respectable position that is practically unheard.
You missing the point if you think he is pocket watching
@@shottastokes7596you missing the point
He giving game bruh like he should no harm in what he said. Each one teach one don’t harbor game that our peoples problem. He saying hold on to your business it’s worth something substantial if they want to buy it from you, 💭
Master P is really a smart businessman. Should get his input on why he moved the way he did. I remember my cousin telling me a story about slim thug and his people going to club one and trying to get everything free. They were deep too not wanting to pay a cover fee? Im just saying everyone hustles at their own pace.
Actually people do grow businesses and sell them. That’s normal. That’s what business people do.
When you understand business you know you can use your catalog as leverage to borrow against it. Once you secure the capitol using your catalogue as an asset Leveraged you can invest in other assets or business. All while retaining your catalog!
That’s not what their doing. And when you bossed up, you don’t even have to do all that anyway.
Damn, the sugar daddy line summed it up for me
😂😂right! Ouch 🤕
Word up😂😂😂
Folks living for today and have no loyalty not even to themselves 😢✅💯
Can’t beat scammers scamming at their own game.
I salut slim for caring for his people
Slim Thug is spittin some big truth!
Been rockin since 98 Thugga been real from jump
Master P is brilliant and he knows what he's doing....Have you ever owned a label Thugga😂😂😂
Master p is a broke bum now just because he finessed a label decades ago does not make him a boss
