Funk Flex Speaks on Jaÿ-Z & Charlamagne:
“If you say something bad about [Jaÿ-Z] he gets upset & his TEAM gets UPSET… You and your team made personal calls to on air personalities to spin it.”

Drake is the only rapper I believe when he talks about money. He said he’d buy the neighbor’s house if they complained about the noise then he bought their house. He said Golden State was running practice at his house because he has a full size basketball court. He has a 300 acre ranch in Texas, his own Boeing 767 plane, and his house The Embassy is located on Billionaire’s Row.
So when he says “this contract talk is fryin my brain the numbers they talkin are actually insane it's B's on the table”
I 1000% believe there’s B’s on the table
In MJ’s prime, people had to drive to the store and purchase a physical album. But that was the ONLY way to buy it.
Now you pay a small monthly fee and almost all available music is at your fingertips.
It takes 1,500 streams to equal just ONE album sale. Getting sales via streaming is at least as hard as old school sales bc not only do consumers have to listen but they have to KEEP listening.
Two of them albums were manipulated btw, one was with sprint and Samsung where they gave 1 million albums free to Samsung users, the other one was with tidal when they have 1 million free to tidal users.
Nobody said nothing about that, it was all about how much of a business genius he was (and I agree) but we must be real
I get it. They can’t argue Drakes numbers. Can’t argue his success or his longevity. So what do they do? They find something that can be subjectively argued, hone in on that so they can continue having these disingenuous conversations to downplay him.
