AR-Ab on Signing to Cash Money: I Was in the Trap House When Birdman Called

Dark Lo and AR-Ab stopped by VladTV to talk about AR-Ab being signed to Cash Money, Birdman calling him a superstar, and seeing Lil Wayne, and Birdman's relationship from the inside. The duo were both excited that AR-Ab signed to Cash Money with Birdman. AR-Ab explained, "I talked to Baby he said I know people ain't gonna mess with you, people gone be scared to deal with you, but he said I'm gonna make you a superstar... I promise you a couple of records. AR-Ab also said he only told a select few about getting signed. The two also talked with VladTV about how they view Birdman's and Lil Wayne's relationship. "I don't know how it went, gotta mind my business, that's they family man, [but] when it comes to me and Lo naw because like we been breaking down money before that."
AR-Ab talked with us about still sorting out his deal, and wanting to do a label deal instead of an artist deal. "Everybody wanna latch on that wasn't putting the work in...people see Ab with the situation they wanna come on board now...naw." Dark Lo said about the new Cash Money deal. The two have no plans on letting anyone in that wasn't with them before. AR-Ab also said he's focused on the money. He's not focused on being the greatest rapper alive, but getting his family and people in a good place. "It's all about securing my family; I want everybody I love to be comfortable... it's about the money, do I like rap? I love rap I like the hobby, I love to do it... I don't got to be the best rapper."
AR-Ab said that Birdman came at a time when everything was quiet for his career. Birdman called him while he was in the trap house working, and asked when he could come out to talk to him. Ab said he was gone the same day. Dark Lo and AR-Ab remain close and are very focused on keeping each other going.

[@chrisma313]

Yeah that's the only thing about AR Ab maybe the label can help on that.

[@MrNickelodeon90]

Charisma313 if they really fucking with him.. it would be there job to help him swich it up Asap. but birdman dont give a shit about him come on its cash money.

[@chrisma313]

True lol

[@Stevaside]

Oooooh....he was in THE TRAP HOUSE...such a hip, meaningful fact to know, this guys my hero now!

[@karlieredd8863]

Nah you first .

[@GRIMEREPORTTV]

"Cash money records where dreams come true..." - Lil Wayne 2007

[@JohnnySensei7]

WHILE WAYNE WAS GETTING SCREWED AND DIDNT KNOW IT. This nigga is an idiot for signing with cash money

[@echad6259]

he explained what your talking about already...he said Birdman and him have an understanding

[@NyakzOTSD]

well without them his career may never had happen

[@JohnnySensei7]

Nyakz extremely unrelated to Birdman being a piece of trash

[@nigelchiwanga2501]

Man like lordie

[@kanecamron3082]

they both got on a shirt that says "original ".. How original

[@215brok]

2 original😂

[@jfraz1992]

Ab still in the hood tho & cash money ain't known to do good business

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

Right

[@WelcomeToThe92503]

I'm sayin

[@marqueseworrell9425]

One of the realest interviews I seen on Vlad original 💯

[@OfficialMeechMusic]

Hell nah don't mention Bald ass birdman with Jay

[@charlieg4732]

right giving that nigga to much praise lol

[@kamerontate2964]

Ar-ab is a real humble guy

[@LeadParalegal]

*LMAO starting at **9:40** it seems like Dark Lo is having a separate conversation by himself lol*

[@BornAnOutlaw]

Kuji Chagulia lmao

[@BornAnOutlaw]

Kuji Chagulia no1 said a wrd when or after he spoke ArAb aint even look at him

[@rdot980]

Given the reputation, I'd stay unsigned before I sign to Cash Money. The list of artists that have signed to that label that never released anything is too long with a lot of big names on it.

[@rdot980]

On second thought, I'd sign to Cash Money if my only other option is sitting in the trap house.

[@bunnymanmoe8819]

fact

[@TheRealest127]

An opportunity is just that. An opportunity. It's up to YOU what you do with it. And on that note? I'm rooting for You Ab. Salute. 💪🏽💯

[@youngali505]

just another tax write off

[@rootofallevi]

i think so

[@coleeason4757]

dude there's no such thing

[@DjSonnyKorleon]

toronz ali Jay-Z even said that was a myth

[@ari29]

Meaning?

[@coleeason4757]

the tax write off is not real dont know how it got started but i served as a intern at a label i wont mention and that was one of the first questions i asked

[@Wizardof0ddss]

Easy to sign 100 artists per week when you don't pay any of them. See y'all in court in five years.

[@ScarFeiss]

Lmaooo 4

[@bethevoice3]

Even they don't believe they gonna blow up with cash money they only signed for publicity

[@Tempo2010]

right.

[@anthonyhumphrey9922]

Lo said (We NEED THAT BAGGY)😭😭😭real shit💯💰💰💰

[@Maine_87]

OG Two Tone...that was one of the hardest scenes I've seen in a hood movie.

[@jlawre1]

"It's all about the money. It's all about securing my family. Just give me the bag."

[@GoldenKey757]

@0:18 AR- AB got his head down thinking "IM REALLY NOT SIGNED YET BUT IMA LET DARK LO DANCE AROUND THIS QUESTION"

[@1tmproductions]

It's like they did role reversal at the end, Dark Lo soundin like AB and AB chillin lol

[@MrNickelodeon90]

Nigga you never droping a Album... lol there real Talented rappers on cash money and they cant even get a release date. and think you got a chance Lol

[@THETRAVELGOD410]

[@JoseFlores-mw8fy]

Birdman signed Ab & Compton because he wanted respek on his name an knew ppl like Charlemagne n whoever wouldn't play with him with Ab & Compton besides him lol if you look at the timing of the deal when it was announced it was like 2 days after the breakfast club interview, but don't nobody give a fuck, I'm just wasting time writing this comment lol

[@chriscallahan2647]

people keep saying "business this business that" nigga i'm in a trap house gotta respect that.

[@junsunmatthews4782]

NOBODY mentions J and baby in the same light.

[@_RobBanks]

“I was selling three and a half birds for 25500 each at the time. Over on west 32nd street.”

[@JewelAhmed3]

Birdman only signed Ar-Ab and Dark Lo, for protection same with Compton Menace in case someone tried it with Birdman.

[@immanueljenkins2480]

this is beautiful. one love from a Philly nigga

[@cookingupbeats]

AR AB mic should have been checked before recording. Some of the audio is bad, just mumble, and if it was then get him to repeat his answer clearly.

[@thatniggaghost83]

Birdman signed this nigga for a tax write-off, Ain't no album gonna be released..

[@xdivisionvision]

Dark Lo is basically a bigger James Harden. Imagine them seeing each other lol

[@ghettotvent]

[@lbc562boi6]

ar ab did the best thing at the time cause he was just doing street shyt but now he has a better opportunity to get in the lime light and make money legit money so base off that good move but he should expect birdman to try to fuck him over

[@markbaz4200]

No difference between Baby and YOU! Just the way you think. Houses and cars come and go how you treat individuals are the memories that last forever.

[@quincyd2368]

Pause on calling a grown man Baby refer to him as birdman or stunna
