I'm not gonna lie, if I were an artist, I would LOVE to be on Bad Boy. Puff makes hit records. Plain and simple. That's the Bad Boy motto. I think that most people don't want to be on the label because of Puff's business tactics. I have heard that Puff doesn't negotiate good deals. Well, they are good for him, but not the artist. Take Da Band for instance. They just rushed through and signed those contracts, but NO ONE except Sara read it. NO ONE except Sara took the thought to say, "Hey, let me have my OWN lawyer look over this."
I would be the same way if I were Puff. I think that everyone basically knows that Da Band is an "experiment" that can't really be taken seriously as the true way of handling business. If he had let them go a long time ago, he wouldn't be making more money. He has stretched this out to 3 seasons. MTV is giving him money. He's making money off the album sales. He is getting money from the release of the Making the Band DVD series. He is getting Sean John clothing advertisement. He is just being a business man. I love Puff. I wish that I could meet him.
