Some People Never Learn


What's that old saying, "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice and I'm a damn fool?" [Kidding. But not really] Somebody should explain the concept to producer Bangladesh, because he's complaining for the second time that Cash Money Records didn't pay him for his beats...

Bangladesh has claimed for years that he was never paid for producing the beat for Lil Wayne's 2008 smash 'A Milli'. Now Bangladesh is complaining that he hasn't been paid for producing the beat for Lil Wayne's last hit single '6 Foot 7 foot'.  So why would Bangladesh keep producing beats for Cash Money if he never gets paid?  Bang tells MTV it's not about the money, it's the principality Smokie...
"It's not about the money, it's not about me charging him for the beat, because he is Lil Wayne; he's gonna sell albums," he said. "You only really charge people that you think is not gonna really sell too much, so you want to get your money off top. You might not get it on the back-end because albums don't sell no more."
In the interview Bangladesh admits giving the '6 Foot 7 Foot' beat to Wayne in exchange for Weezy featuring on a track for Bangladesh's own cd, but Bang claims every time they make plans they never seem to pan out.

“I don’t know if it’s the people around the situation or it’s the actual person," Bangladesh explains. "Every time we come up with a solution, it never gets taken care of. I just can’t keep really giving them music.”
After the article was posted online Banglasdesh Tweeted that he had been misrepresented in the interview.
