How Good Music was almost Good Money: Kanye West wanted to sign to Cash Money Records according to Mannie Fresh.

[sg_popup id=”21″ event=”onload”][/sg_popup]Kanye West almost joined Birdman’s roster.

We’re always searching for some good New Orleans related content, and this video from VladTV made the cut. Mannie Fresh sat with VladTV a few years ago to talk about a few of his ventures and relationships in the industry. The part that stood out to us was the comments that he made about Kanye West.

Who knew that he came to cash money looking for a deal? How do you think Cash Money would have been if Lil Wayne and Kanye West were on the same label. That’s an interesting scenario to ponder on.

Check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments.
