Mobb Deep are no longer artists

From this month's Vibe (via Prefixblog):

Vibe: Did you sign an artist deal?
H: Nah, not like a regular deal. We got a lot of perks. We got more points than any artist ever got to this day, so it's a real good deal.

Vibe: Perks? Give me a few examples of these perks.
P: We got Porsches.
H: Top of the line. I got a GT3 that's nonrecoupable.

Vibe: So, I guess it didn't bother you that on "Piggy Bank" 50 said to Jadakiss, "I'll do your little ass like Jay did Mobb Deep?"
H: Nope
P: When he said that line, he was just talking about what really happened. At Summer Jam, Jay-Z put up a picture of me when I was a little kid in my grandmother's dance school. We're all bigger than Jay now.

Call me old fashioned, but I don't even know if I'd take a Porsche from another man that I didn't have to recoupe.

Also, in a new freestyle, Prodigy refers to Fiddy as both "The Boss" and "Curtis 'Interscope' Jackson."
