ABK signed a contract without questioning it enough. Anything he got stiffed on is his own damn fault. Funny that the dude with the least amount of talent was the one to throw a hissy fit about his record sales. Without ICP's fanbase or the launchpad Psy provided he'd be mowing lawns in Detroit or locked up. He said he got the bone but they tossed him a bone in the first place. 

Also, if all the disgruntled rappers are so thugged out and talented why didn't they leave sooner and go to greener pastures?

A.B.K. is barely on Psy.! A.B.K. does more 4 Psy. then Psy. does 4 A.B.K.!

i'm surprised they kept ABK around - i guess it was a power move to keep him.

Does anyone have footage of the gathering 07 seminar when twiztid was dissing on abk and made the "us or him" comment?

In all honesty i dont see abk departing from psychopathic anytime soon if ever...he has everything he needs at PSY without having to try and go get distribution from someone else.

I'm no fool, I just know that ABK is not very valuable.  When I had a manager/booking agent we got ABK for $500 +per diem to open. He originally wanted $1,500 but our manager decided that was too steep. ABK's wife called back and said he would do it for $500. The show was promoted well locally and It had decent attendance but not enough to break even. Majority of people in attendance were there to see all the local acts. He may very well do better in other areas but I am certain it is not by much. I will say this as well...if ABK felt so slighted by Psychopathic records why didn't he seek distribution on his own? Perhaps no distribution company would take him on for lack of album sales? I would assume so...his career is based on being a mascot for a genre rather than the music he actually puts out. He should probably thank and stay subservient to violent j and psychopathic for putting him on and turning him into an "icon".

I remeber a boy jamal avery got mad at in 4th grade for saying "come on foo." he said "i aint no fool". I felt deeply consurned and confused. I had no idea what he was talking about till a long time afterwards. Do i need to explain this story better? 

If all you think and feel when u see abk is "mascot" well thats good for you i guess... 

I enjoy his work and his music makes me happy thats why i like him. 

Im sorry about ur show but ur one event does not represent the performance value or how ever u say it of the artist in General. I can fill up a community center full of scenes kids to see a bunch of local bands with 16 year olds in it. Doesnt mean abk would have the same turn out. And yes i know u never said it was a hardcore show.

I do not know what you are trying to say....

I get that you like him but it does not change the fact that the guy is not viable. Sorry if you think I am shitting on your idol but facts are facts.
