@QCshhhh @salamichoppa @Kingab_001 @Kurrco you both low life

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

@_brunodegentle @AkademiksTV yep😂😂

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

@erenwasrightt yep no cap

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

After thinking for like 5 seconds Kendrick is the easiest option, Hip-hop will be fine without him. There's nothing new he brought to the game, what he has done has been done before, also he not a diverse artist as well. No taking away from what he has done again.

Remove one artist from hip-hop history:
Drake
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
Kendrick Lamar

Drake dropped K-OS a BAG and is acting as an executive producer on his next album

Toronto legend K-OS shared that Drake basically said, “I’m going to give you this money to go make a record, but please make a K-OS record.”

“Sometimes it takes your younger brother or someone who was witnessing you more in that stage of, ‘Oh my God, you’re amazing,’ for them to point out things you were doing that you forgot about.” - K-OS

Drake's "Janice STFU" is now the first Hip-Hop song EVER to spend its first 2 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart📈🥶

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

[Jasper @Jasp3r_0]

Nigga had the biggest beef against the biggest artist, A hit with Metro and Future, a whole pop out concert, announced to be the superbowl halftime show, and NLU was a hit and being pushed everywhere. Damn what else he needed?! A sextape??😂😂😂😂

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

@RedBullCater1ng @ChampShawnH @HipHopAllDay you acting like he stayed for weeks🤣

[HHP♻ @HipHopParamount]

ahh well, he might be on something

1. Pre-2018: Label-Owned
•Drake signed to Young Money/Cash Money/UMG in 2009.
•Under that deal, Cash Money Records owned his masters, with UMG handling distribution.
•This covered all albums up to Scorpion (2018).
•Revenue split favored the label heavily, with Drake only receiving artist royalties + publishing.

⸻

2. 2020: UMG Buys Out Young Money Masters
•In June 2020, Lil Wayne sold the Young Money catalog (which included Drake’s pre-2018 masters) to UMG for over $100M.
•This meant UMG directly owned Drake’s old masters, not Cash Money anymore.

⸻

3. 2022: Drake’s Mega-Deal
•In 2022, Variety reported Drake signed a multi-rights deal with UMG rumored at $400M+.
•Industry insiders described it as a licensing/joint venture model, not a standard artist contract.
•This structure meant Drake’s own company would own the masters, while UMG retained exclusive rights to distribute and license them globally.

📌 Think of it like Drake owns the house, UMG rents it to show it off.

⸻

4. Court Filings Confirm
•A recent court filing from Drake’s side explicitly states:
“Petitioner owns the copyright to Drake’s entire catalogue.”
•This is legally significant: in sworn documents, his attorneys confirm Drake’s company controls his full catalog copyrights, not UMG.
•UMG’s role is clarified as licensing and distribution, not ownership.

⸻

5. What This Means
•Pre-2018 catalog: Once label-owned, but now transferred into Drake’s control via his UMG deal.
•Post-2018 catalog: Always owned by Drake (starting with Certified Lover Boy).
•Today: Drake owns his masters, UMG is his distributor.
•Practically, this means:
•More of streaming/licensing $$ goes directly to Drake.
•He decides how/when his music can be licensed.
•Long-term wealth + leverage — like Jay-Z and Taylor Swift have pursued.

⸻

✅ Bottom Line: Drake now owns the copyright to his entire music catalog.
❌ UMG does not “own” his masters — they just license and distribute under a partnership.

I'm gonna pretend Maid of Honour didn't drop and that album trash
