J. Prince suing Cash Money/Drake being scammed out of millions

Rapper Drake, arguably the most talented artist on the rap-dominating Young Money Cash Money Record label, has sold millions of records. Since the success, his rap lyrics have become charged with taunts of his accomplishments compared to older predecessors. However, chinks in the armor may be in light as GOOD Music rapper Pusha T's rap lyrics on "Exodus 23:1", a diss track, are being confirmed true.

"Contract all fu*ked up // I guess that Means You All F*cked Up // You signed to one nigga, that's signed to another niggga, thats signed 2 three niggas, now that's bad luck" rapped Pusha T in alleged Lil Wayne diss record, Exodus 23:1.

Soon after the rumored shot was taken, Lil Wayneanswered for Drake, like a big brother. He released a Pusha-T diss record called 'ghoulish' that aired on New York radio's Hot 97. The 'fantasy' diss record, as many fans tweeted, was possibly one of the top 10 most disliked rap diss songs of all-time.

"Pusha T's lyrics were more staggering because you felt the realness. Lil Wayne was just yelling a bunch of metaphores and nobody took him serious", messaged Dahryl Pharoah, editor behind New Hop Songs tumblr blog, comparing the two songs.

Indeed, the Pusha T lyrics seem to have validity. Texas rap impresario and son of a rap icon, Jas Prince, who discovered Drake is speaking out. Not only talking, he's also brought his attorney's into the situation, persuing money owed for bringing Drake to to YMCMB.

"The music exec who discovered Drake says that the rap star's management company has cheating him out of big bucks — and that Drake is being ripped off to the tune of millions as well. In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, James 'Jas' Prince says that he discovered Drake on MySpace back in 2007 and introduced him to Lil Wayne and the bad-boy rapper's managers -- only to get cut out of the deal", reports the New York Post.

For the introduction, J Prince was to be given a percentage of Toronto-rapper's earnings. Though almost 4 years, multiple platinum albums, gold and platinum singles, and world touring are under Drake's belt, Jas has recieved not even one cent.

To make matters worse, Prince has investigated earning and discovered Drake's being scammed out of millions. The bolsterous rapper who allegedly purchased a Hidden Valley, California mansion recently, has not been paid for any of his hit rap/pop songs.

"He hasn't been paid, and we haven't been paid," said Prince's lawyer, James McMillan.

According to VladTV.com, as other legal issues with Cash-Money/YMCMB in the past, no one is speaking from their camp. The companies management representatives, Aspire Music Group, Laurant Management, nor Three Kings will respond to the issue. Drake's rep would not comment on matters either.

A relatively new record label, compared to others of its roster size, hopefully the Young Money Cash Money Billionaires are working out kinks in business structure.

This legal issue adds to a list of forgotten bills. These Cash Money, Young Money Lawsuits include some of Hip Hop's favorite talents. Juvenile, recently incarcerated rapper BG, Mannie Fresh, producer David Kirkwood, Lolli-pop instrumental maker Darius 'Deezle' Harrison, Bangladesh, & even EMI records have all sued Cash Money and his sub-labels.

Hmm, don't seem like Drake is suing them, but better yet the folks who helped him get the deal with Cash Money. This is real interesting.

Yeah I read in a bit and it's not Drake. I'm gonna change the title though. I've always thought Drake should just be independent anyways.

Why would a mainstream rapper be independent? Everything he has done has been a strive for a record deal. He couldn't afford all the samples aswell.

Yeah, that's just one thing you don't do, you don't fuck with a hip-hop legend like J. Prince. That's hip-hop history right there... the founder of Rap-a-Lot. Baby/Slim/Wayne fucked with the wrong one now.

Why would a mainstream rapper be independent? Everything he has done has been a strive for a record deal. He couldn't afford all the samples aswell.

Because of the So Far Gone hype a lot of people were hoping that he would stay independent, which would change hip-hop immensely. I was one of those people. Many of his songs have proven that he is more than capable of making music without samples. It's not far fetched that a mainstream rapper could one day remain independent and be huge.

For an artist of, in my opinion, relatively low calibre, I would say it is.

To a large amount of people Drake isn't considered low calibre. He would have no trouble being an independent artist.

It seems most rappers have that drive, it just seems most lack the nerve. A few have actually pulled it off though.

It'll take a lot of courage for someone to do, but if you get a rapper who's just in the right position and at the right tame, they could change the game completely.

Most of his fans now consist of shallow teenage girls. The Weeknd is recieved better around an adult audience.

When I went to a festival, where both of them preformed, consisting of adults, Drake was less popular and recieved poorly in comparison.
