I love how he doesn't allow them to interrupt his points.

[@reidwilson7974]

Facts they be about to cut son wisdom. I been peep that

[@karenl.forest7083]

FACTS 💯

[@andrewilliams9921]

Yeah but he ripped off Boy2Men real bad. Took 50% when most managers only took 10-20%.

[@urbanflavorz]

@@andrewilliams9921 Didn't MAse take 50% in his recent deal? but called out puffy. Lil Boosie getting like 50% in his production deal with Blue dolphin or whatever his name is. Its no real standard so they take what they can.

[@chiz2332]

He didn’t rip boys to men off that’s not true… and he explained that on the breakfast club

[@lirrajae12]

Rest up Jam Master Jay. So sad people were jerking our icons like that. Shout out to Math Hoffa for the fire ass interviews.

[@reidwilson7974]

💩people forget we're talking about the earlier 80s just coming out of the 70s slavery wasn't that far behind so they treated you like you knew you wasn't suppose to expect much are know how much you should be getting oldest trick in the book

[@Theonyxconservative]

I noticed He said even though the contracts were bad in of the beginning, they were able to establish a brand that last till today. 💪🏾🇺🇲

The pauses dont work when you sittin down wit a OG! but that "hes in my *ss" line was a magnificent pause

[@ELITEPSYCHE100]

Mike is a genuine guy and a BUSINESS MAN. Notice how he called their names when he answered them, he called Math name, Mecca, and BIGGA . That’s a person favorite word , THEIR NAME . Etiquette 101

Boston has long had a reputation As a white boy city.

[@Beany638]

@@Polostar79 it has but that's the problem people no from Boston think it's just white people because of the shit they see on tv or online by in Massachusetts alone there's majority black cities but that's why we love mike when I goes outside of mass imhe makes it clear where he's from and what part of the city he reps

[@djbop]

I remember standing there in the Hilton Hotel lobby downtown ATL in 92 & watched 702 audition for Mike at Jack The Rapper...and the rest is history.

[@larrymyers5989]

Jam Master Jay always held us Bostonians down. He has a huge fan base in Boston. His family is from Mattapan. There use to be RIP mural on Redford and Blue Hill Ave right before Haitian Sq Murdapan SQ).

The respect they giving Biv is crazy and i love it, this interview is everything

[@j-rschmoove]

Happy Birthday Biv. Congratulations on your success. And continued success. ✊🏾

[@Friday779]

Of course

[@donricolife1861]

Talk that! It aint that we dumb, we just ignorant to certain things and dont know the right ppl && dont be havin the money to get to the ppl we need to know. Take ya time artists 🙏🏾

[@Benjamin-tf4cm]

I would love to hear Mike Bivens and Mase have a conversation cause they remind me of each other lol.

[@dabambini2528]

Trip the pioneers and legends-on my conspiracy type sht-but it's like they got rid of them. Gems being dropped w/having to be savy w/these contracts. This story about Jay, stories about Prince being real on owning masters, Michael Jackson and his ordeal w/Sony, Cosby in wanting to take a stake in NBC when The Cosby Show was enlighting our people. So sad. God bless Biv and all of his success and future endeavors.🙏🏾

[@cbrown940]

It'd absolutely incredible that 1980's NE's seemed "Tour Primary, Record Secondary" approach to their musicianship revenue is exactly the revenue model for youngins doing their thang 40 years. Truly incredible - woohoo!

Every single black artist in the history of music signed a bad record deal. Except for Ray Charles and Michael Jackson it just seems like black artists are allergic to reading the fine print, hiring lawyers or paying taxes.

Mike is an astute businessman he definitely was the fly on the wall and developed a business sense of circumventing what the label heads were throwing at them and strategically rectifying the issues for the betterment of the group and the groups he discovered and cultivated into legends.

Really, you just have to know how to read and comprehend. I rejected every contract ever offered because I saw that what I created wouldn't be mine anymore. Not enough money in history to sell myself short 💯

[@ACE330]

Biv and westside Gunn have similar demeanors

[@drucartier2164]

Worked in the music business for a while… I have seen contracts, hell I am married to a lawyer. People love to blame the industry when the contract is ‘bad’. Most time it’s the fact is the lawyer or not lawyer the artist got never really was versed in entertainment law. As Bev said find one that artist can afford is hard because entertainment lawyers get paid by the size of the deal the are doing. So no real entertainment lawyer is going to do your little 50-70 k deal

[@jayp7936]

AI will fix this

[@drucartier2164]

@@jayp7936 nope because every label handles things differently. Also every label somethings can be negotiated.

dude, this is happening right this moment with artist now. How many times have we heard , "you don't make any money off of selling records." No.....
