Birdman & Lil Wayne - New BO's - The Rise Of America's New Black Overclass - CNBC - Cash Money! 

Birdman is a motivator rapper!! keep puttin them stuntin songs out

True stuff, that's why he's CEO. He can manage and he is honest. And much smarter than what people give him credit for. Acting has its place, though.

Birdman = the king!

You gotta respect Birdman 30 years in the game nd still rolling shout out to slim aka giant

He should be a inspiration to all of us in the ghetto that you can be something despite the odds stack against us !!!

Yeah, Birdman is a g and a businessman. He has got the most successful hip-hop label in the game. Cant deny it. Sellin millions of records and having the hottest artists right now (Drizzy, Weezy, Jay Sean to name a few). Cash Money is an army! Believe dat!

@CHRISTEN9844 What I mean is that this CNBC coverage is stating they started out selling records out on the street from their vehicles. That is b/s. You need funding to start a record label. Their funding came from drug money.

Respect to birdman and cashmoney. Not a big fan but they got there shit together

Lol, not to mention Baby and Slim started Bronald Oil and Gas a couple years back. These fools are smart as fuck, oilfield is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world. Trust me I work in the patch haha. They got money out the ass.

Jay Sean - War

Wayne got one of the most expensive car in the world, Birdman give him one million for one of his birthday, and + of one million in another lol, so i think you don't have to worry about The Wayne. Peace

Birdman I just wana love you... You are my Rolemodel Youknowwhaddamean? You the best! I am gonna support you untill the end of TIME!!! Greetings!

Inspiration

first of all the song that jay sean is on is called down 2nd of all it is true baby did have 40 to 50 mili when he was 22 years old because his company is over a quarter of a billion right now, you can look at the fincial statements of cash money records and see clear as a day

birdman my fav rapper hes fly :D ym cmb beliee dat

Yes! We the best!!! Cash Money!!!

Relax homie. I understand that you can't wait to hear the full version of CMH, but it's not my fault that it haven't been released already. I think that Birdman pushed back the release of this track in the last minute. BTW: Why till Dec. 15? This track is not Wayne's or YM track, but Kevin Rudolf's. And his album is comin in January...

yes blood money

what brand are those lil wayne sunglasses on 1:07 ?

Got her.

@funkyFOS Most definitely.

I've got your AIM so as soon as I have this track I'll send you an IM.

whats the song as soon as the video begins

@dashon07002 Huh... Where did u get this from about 50 cent making 29 million records?....

I like how this episode put a false image on Cash Money in it's entirety. There is no way in hell that these guys made money strictly off of album sales. There definitly was drugs involved. Many rappers started off from drugs.

Where?

@dashon07002 Oh k i see what u mean, in that factor yes its kinds of sad lol..but i generally love cash money more because of them still sticking together, they been the most consistant, maybe not selling sky high records,but they stoke it out through thick n thin, not like these other records companys that had a downfall like badboy, deathrow and im sure few more, you know what i mean, but one smart business man is Byrdman, he basically sits on top of everything in a way lol

That shit at the start where Birdman is breaking down his independant street out of the trunk record sales, that $ is crazy for a legit legal business...some of the biggest and best drug dealers in the States might see that money in a month and they doing it illegally and sleeping with one eye open

CM!

Mulla crazy!

CMB!!!

HATE if you want but they still the best to ever do it!! where is Ruff Ryder, Roc-A-Fella, Bad Boy, G-Unit, No Limit...switch that how long dey last? Cash Money the only label from the 90's that still surviving!! YMCMB the model to follow...but if you hustle backwards follow some label that last 5-6yrs

Hahahahaha.

@IKnowFool45 Did you listen to the video above?

Those Teeth Are Bad Boy ****

look at what financial statements where???

@timgumj so you think these guys should be free of criticism?

That's cause Birdman buy Waynes record!

@ehoward9438 no he didnt he still in dere he got 9 years left now

Aftermath sold more albums

Why do so many ppl talk shit about birdman. He and his brother got out the hood so what if he show of his money he worked for it.

@xxitsjadenxx lmao

yo i thought convikt music were the richest arent they?

@jaehood109 dude.. do the math.. his 1st 2 albums togetther sold 20 million (11.5+8.5=20) his gunit beg for mercy sold 4 million.. (20+4=24) .. the games album witch he wrote 7 songs for witch is more the half of the album sold 5 mill... ='s wht????

@Artis28700 Soo Woo!

@IKnowFool45 sorry but you are wrong, cash money and young money is the greatest!

Hihi, have you heard of this thing called the Intellitus Cash System? (Google it). My cousin says it makes people plenty of income.

@BiggestBossInTheGame Turk is in jail he got sentence 14 years in 2008

YACCO MAC ON RU-vid VIEW AND RATE

@timgumj I'm just curious; are you wealthy..? why are you defending them so strongly? there is a problem here and while i wont wholly blame these guys, they are part of that problem. they have truly embraced the capitalist spirit that includes hoarding resources while many of our people starve. They go buy the jewels that someone likely suffered to mine. So you see, I am critical of these people but for a reason. Calling those who criticize evident problems "haters" is counter productive.

@morganklee420 Louis V baby

Still Don't MEan PPl Gotta Hate!!! If U Don't Like Em/Respect Em DEn Dont CLick On there Links N E more!!! Get A LIfe HAterz

$ellout$

more successful than def jam and bad boy? ummm......

@IKnowFool45 Eminem will never be as good as Weezy !

On Cash Money Releases youve got only Cash Money/Universal logos. CM is independent. They do what the want to do. Thats the difference. They control in 100% release of an album. Everythin. From top to bottom. Thats the reason of their power.

Hate as much as you want, but It doesnt change the fact that Birdman is gettin like $500K every day:)

damn babys been grindin since day 1. haters r gonna hate, hustlers r gonna hustle and I think baby just became my new role model.

MULLAAA CRAZY!!!

But it a different situation. Its not a family that much. Dre is awesome but hes a selfish bitch. Em got Shady records and 50 got Gay-Unit records. Aftermatch label is only a sticker on the packaging of an album. Thats it. Dre aint controllin shit. He doesnt have that power as a label. He requires to put that logo as a payment for making the beats. If you look at 50s album you can see Shady/Aftermath/Intersope/Gay-Unit Records. Its bullshit. Intersope is managing the release.

Hahahahahah Laughin at you moron. Its all family. Birdman is Weezys father. You cant change this. Fuck the bullshit. Look at Juvi and B.G. Juvi used to be the biggest star in the Cash Money roster. And now what? He left Baby & Slim cause hes fuckin stupid. Hes dead broke. He aint sellin no records. Now hes sayin he would like to join em again. Why? Cause theyre the best and they make the most money!

Hahahahaha You aint know Bad what? Bad Boy? Rather Bad Ass They failed. Aint no good artists on this label. The same with Roc-A-Fella. Theyre dead. Guess why? Cause theyve got only one good artist. Diddy and Jay-Z respectively. Jay is a G.O.A.T. in rap, but as a label head he ruined this company. Diddy is cryin that he aint sellin no records. I dont know how he could get Interscope deal 50M records. Its huge! Nor Roc-a-Fella or Bad Boy sold more. Believe dat!

they talkin about hip hop history, you seems like someone who know a lot in it so tell me who in cash money records went diamond, nobody.. biggie went diamond on bad boy, Em sold like 20M records on aftermath, Pac same on death row.. stillz wayne sold 10 mil on cash money, they re big but aint the biggest of the hip hop history fool

@Buildberg3 Yeah, Ross is my man. His label Maybach Music gon be huge. Now YMCMB is the greatest. They run the music biz right now. And the H album. Shit man From what Ive heard its gon be a classic. Real rap, not radio candy shit. Turk? He aint in prison no more. Hes like T.I. in a halfway house.

yes more sucessfull .. in the fact that .. Cash money .. Baby n Slim .. they OWN EVERYTHING ... THERE HOLE RECORD LABLE .. OWNED .. NO ROYALTYS NOTHING .. theres a select few people in the game that own there own labels .. youd b suprised.

In e.g. Bad Boy only Biggie was pushin crazy amount of discs. The same with Rocafella (its Jay-Z). Aftermath is DEAD! Its a past. The same with Death Row. Cash Money is makin hot records since 1989 and theyre still on TOP! BELEE DAT!

cash money is a big record label but to say its the most commercial succesfull label of hip hop history thats bullshit look at bad boy, roc-a-fella, aftermath ent, death row etc

What you sayin bitch? He looks like a G. He wears only Gucci, Louis & Prada. He has got the biggest swagger in the game. You wear Puma; thats why you hatin.

If you dont want to listen to him just dont do it. Hes makin music cause he loves to being an artist. Many people dont understand it.

i wish birdman was my dad bahahah. he is a fuckn boss

@lukaszswoboda You obviously don't understand the mindset of wanting more. It's an image that all rappers have to keep up with. Birdman is just better at it then most rappers and he keeps making more money because he wants more money. He has an understanding of where he wants to go in life and his image plays a major role in it. Birdman keeps giving the fans what they want most. By far the most consistent record label in the industry. No one has had this type of energy or longevity.

@GetDownOrLayDown31 no, they got 85% of the royalties plus the masters, cash money is technically not a subsidiary, as their deal is strictly a distribution deal, meaning that the only thing universal does it make sure there are CD's in the stores and songs on itunes, the other aspects--marketing, production, promotion, contracts etc... is cash money. The deal was not as unprecedented as they made it seem, bad boy records (diddy) received a similar deal, less royalties but a higher money signing

Jay Sean's career is going to get better now. War, imo is better than Down and Do You Remember. It would be nice to see Jay Sean become the first Indian to win a Grammy. YMCMB is good because of people like Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Lil Wayne, Kevin Rudolf, and Drake. But Jay Sean is really taking that label to another level. He's one of the best acquisition Cash Money has ever made. 2010 is the year of YMCMB. Belee Dat.

Check out my profile to see brand new song from Birdman feat. Drake & Lil Wayne called "Money To Blow"!

did u not c the first part of my comment...it said he on his paper..and i also gave him props as a good business man..so im not hatin on him as a person...just saying i dont think he can rap...he needs to stick to runnin cash money

YM/CMB!

he is everything suge couldnt achive even with snoop and 2pac behind him birdman is the pinacle of being a boss playa truely gifted

At about 4:30 "This is the great problem in our society." What a hater. Why they always have to hate?

@ehoward9438 yeah he does have his own oil exploration company.. i think it wasnt that successful tho

Thats why most black men wanna drop out hustle and be gangsta rappers ... bad influence really.

@mandoleene because the money Baby makes he has to split with Slim, his brother...

@GetDownOrLayDown31 naw they got 85% of royalties and ownership of the masters

why did they put 50 in forbes ?????? baby and wayne has more money or not?

wow 50 mill for one label??? 50cent himsself has sold 29 mill records

So what? Hes a real OG and he got millions of money!

@pwvanleijen haha lol thats fohh sure but a nigga make money
