'Our goal is to put the number so high to where I don't think you got a human on Earth that's alive that can touch it,' says Birdman, cofounder of Cash Money Records.
Cash Money’s founders deny any nefarious activity and argue that the contractual conflicts stem from the fact that many of their artists aren’t familiar with the music business when they arrive. “Contracts haven’t been done, producer agreements haven’t been done, samples haven’t been cleared,” Brown says. “Ninety percent of the time, it’s not that we owe them money. It’s that other people worked to get paid that they didn’t know had to get paid.
“Rappers still clamor to sign to Cash Money, regardless of their business reputation and regardless of the fallout with many of the original artists,” says Day, who says she had to sue Cash Money to get her fee two decades ago. “Would I ever do business with them again? Hell no. But their history and impact can’t be denied. They’re brilliant.”s Slim’s car rolls through Miami, following closely behind Birdman, a song about Maybachs blasts through the sound system.
Birdman is used to spending all his time in the studio to help fulfill such prophesies, sometimes to the detriment of his personal life, he says. But even as he rolls out Cash Money’s next generation, there are signs of a change. Earlier this year, he and singer Toni Braxton got engaged. Birdman claims to have mended his relationship with Lil Wayne. And he’s even thinking of getting his galaxy of face tattoos removed.
