Title: Dancing With The Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip Hop by Mark Curry

(Chapter 1) “Puff charged the artists for his appearance on their records and videos, usually without [them] realizing it until they receive their royalty statements. That’s when they discovered that their large sums of money had gone to fees which were doubled, tripled and even quadrupled because of Puff’s ’special appearances”. For example, he would charge artists for having his Bentley in their videos-which he insisted upon- then took tax credit for business use of a car.”

(PAGE 79) Despite amazing record sales Mark Curry claims that Biggie resorted to selling dope and homemade duplicates of his cd from the trunk of his car just to earn spending money

(Page 94) Jimmy Henchmen told Tupac “why you blaming Puffy and Biggie. Them n*ggas aint got nuthin to do with this shooting. Nobody came to rob you. They came to discipline you and that’s what happened”

He writes that Puffy lured G Dep with a $350,000 signing advance and a 5 album deal. Puffy did not offer him any counseling on how to handle money. After he spent about 1/6th of the money he discovered taxes, production contracts and stipulations held up the rest of his money. In less than 6 months G Dep was broke, in debt to Puffy and lost himself to drugs

How about the loser give me the Lambo, now that makes sense. Soulja Boy’s initial challenge is below.
Soulja Boy responds claiming that Bow Wow’s Lambo is rented. A reader below wrote:

No, his car is NOT RENTED. The Lambo comes from “Prestige Imports” in Palm Beach Miami, not a rental place. Like somebody else already said The owner of Prestige Imports is Brett David. They know each other and he was even in the Cribs video with Bow Wow a couple of years ago. Bow purchased this one from Prestige. Check out Jamie Foxx at the 2005 MTV VMAs in Miami…same plates on his lambo. Also, check out “sharpie lambo”…google it. Same plates.

Check out the Lambo website
