Sign The Based God ????? 10 Millie
The Based God was featured in today’s NY Magazine. In the feature, Brandon touches on the controversial title, GLAAD’s response, his book and shares what price the major labels need to come up with to sign him.
You’re an independent artist, but if you did go the major-label route, how much would the corporations need to pony up to sign you?
A $10 million deal. Really, though, that’s just for you right now. To put a price on my career and what I do — $10 million is not enough.
So $10 million is where negotiations start. Most likely, it will be higher than $10 million?
Yeah. Way over that. My life’s very important.

Hov’s Roll outlined with The New Jersey Nets According to GM
The New Jersey Nets general manager Billy King revealed that Jay-Z plays an active role in team decisions. As part owner of the franchise, Hov was noted for showing his passion in the boardroom.
“I think a lot of those so-called guys that have parts of teams, they vanish,†said King at his end-of-season press conference on Wednesday. “There was one in Cleveland, what was his name? Usher. They haven’t seen him. I think Nelly in (Charlotte) — haven’t seen him. But Jay-Z, I think players see that it’s more of a passion for him, not just something he’s involved in.â€
King also says the rap mogul determined to bring the Nets to his hometown.
“To see [Jay-Z] give a pitch on Brooklyn, and the passion about going to Brooklyn – you see it on tape, you see it on TV. To see him in a room with Carmelo, and making it, you see the passion there,†King said. “And if he’s as passionate about Brooklyn, I just can’t imagine what the other people that live there are going to be like when we get there. And to see him as involved and as passionate about the Nets, to me, it’s a real positive. It’s not just something that he’s just using, or investing in. It’s something that he’s going to be involved in even more when we get – next season, I think, even further, we go to Brooklyn.â€
Jay has been a Nets part owner since 2004.
