Birdman Speaks on Possibility of Signing Rick Ross’ Maybach Music

[KingJamal]

Baby confirms with XXLMag.com that he’s in talks with Rozay…

Earlier this month, rumors spread that Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group was on the market, with potential partners like Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, Lyor Cohen’s Warner Music, Diddy’s Bad Boy Records and Bryan “Birdman” Williams’ Cash Money family all mentioned as being interest in acquiring the imprint. XXLMag.com recently caught up with Baby to find out the possibility of Rozay joining the YMCMB family.

“We in talks right now,” the New Orleans mogul confirmed with XXL. “If we do or if we don’t that’s still my partner, and one day in life we will, if time means now and if time means later, we will.”

“That’s my friend first of all, that’s my partner [and] that’s my homie,” Baby added. “I have a lot of respect for Ross and what he’s trying to do. “

As previously reported, Ross recently signed both Washington, D.C. rep Wale and up-and-coming Philly MC Meek Mill to Maybach. Other artists on the label include member of the Boss’s Triple C’s crew, Gunplay, Torch and Masspike Miles as well as reggae singer Magazeen.

Stay tuned to XXLMag.com as Ross announces who he decides to sign MMG with. —Elan Mancini with reporting by Jozen Cummings

That would be the end of Ross. He'd be turned into a pop faggot.

 

[BackInWhite]

if he signs with cash money that's the end of hip hop
birdman will have a stranglehold on the game
that's all of the popular rappers not named jay-z and eminem on 1 label

 

[RaHaLLdaY]

that would be a dummy move on Ross's part. Grow your own label!

 

[MC The Rapper]

Drake,wayne,Ross,eminem,Kanye all are already on universal any way

 

[Turfaholic]

Birdman do that he gon fuck up cash money legacy. Maybach isnt puttin out hot music minus a few decent Ross tracks here and there.

 

[bigrizz]

White folks own universal, and universal owns all the vanity labels...hip hop will lose anyways. Theres an old jewish man lining these niggas pockets and they dont give two fucks if the artform goes to shit. As long as they profit.

Yup but trust me if you were in their shoes you'd do the same. Don't even front. I mean look at all the niggas who "kept it real", where are they? Bottom line as much as Hip-Hop fans scream that real hip-hop shit they never support only complain' and complain' and call ppl sell outs.

why you lyin?

 

[bigrizz]

Sorry universal is owned by vivendi, the french own hip hop. And UMG was using payola...hip hop is dead

Yeah, but money aint everything. But them niggas own ALL of the hip hop labels....Im moving to africa.

Malaria is better than selling out

 

[usmarin3]

I don't understand why Ross would go through another rapper label, why not just go straigh to a major and cut out a middle man. If sign to CMR or Roc Nation, not only are they gonna eat but also Universal, Live Nation, and Sony.

 

[BackInWhite]

Sorry universal is owned by vivendi, the french own hip hop. And UMG was using payola...hip hop is dead

cuz niggas is gettin money off this shit?
granted, i do believe that niggas need to actually start owning distributors and running these labels
but the shit is a business
who'd rap all day for free with no other forms of income?

 

[Turfaholic]

why you lyin?

point me in the right direction then. Wale would've been benched if it wasnt for Waka. I dont know any of them other Maybach niggas.

Yeah, but money aint everything. But them niggas own ALL of the hip hop labels....Im moving to africa.

Malaria is better than selling out

That's the thing THESE DAYS money IS everything. Shit just check the charts..ppl rappin' about money get all the $. Only now do we care about first week sales..only now do we care if rappers got enough money..etc etc...So..

 

[bigrizz]

Music in general is owned by a few. No wonder good artists get shelved. They all owned by the same motherfuckers

 

[MC The Rapper]

LOL , I wish more rappers would be independent. If you look at all the major players outside of diddy started off indie. Rocafella, Cash Money, No Limit etc.

That's why i'm starting my own shit , make the majors come to me.

 

[Coo Coo Cal's Beanie]

LOL he been throwin up that stupid YM sign that drake do for a month now. He gonna sign wit them
