This is what happens when people pay to get ahead & think it's a short cut to the top.
I stick to what I've always said, if somebody like Jay-Z, Dr. Dre or anybody of that caliber are going to sign you, please believe they'll be putting money in your pocket and not charging you.
Yes, in this case it's Snoop Dogg, but the number one mistake is he paid. There is no dollar amount that can cover "TALENT" if you don't got it. If you had it they would of took you under their wing and flew you, but the only thing that flew in this deal was $28,000 straight out dudes pocket.
