Justin Timberlake Sells 100% of Song Catalog to Hipgnosis for ~$100M

[Michael's Black Son]

I would do the same if I didn’t write or produce any of my own music

Yup.

He kinda started later in this career but Timbo, Danja, Chad and Pharrell wrote/produced all of his best shyt.

Career won’t be remotely close to what it once was. Might as well cash out.

 

[Ironman]

Does this include not being able to tour?

 

[Big Boss]

Everybody selling their catalog

 

[THE MACHINE]

Amount paid per show

Why are several people assuming (wrongly) that an artist can't tour or perform their music after they sell the catalog?

There hasn't been a single deal announced like this that states an artist can't tour and perform their old music.

They're selling the rights to the music they've already made, they can tour and perform that music, and the rights to any new music they make after the deal is not included.

It's pretty simple.

Amount paid per show

Whites getting paid heavy off show money

So does that mean he's retired and the last album was his last album?

 

[Robbie3000]

Brehs talking 100 million is a low amount. He just signed a document, didn't even put in any extra work for said 100 million

Talking about "should've kept for his heirs" like he can't invest those 100 million in something else

Coli accountants hard at work.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

His music trash tho

 

[CrimsonTider]

So does that mean he's retired and the last album was his last album?

No but after that last album he should retire

 

[JulesMusic719]

No but after that last album he should retire

He went from hip soul to hip country/folk lol

 

[King Kai]

No but after that last album he should retire

 

[No1]

Amount paid per show

This has to be old. In no reality is Macklemore getting more for a show than J. Cole.

 

[THE MACHINE]

This has to be old. In no reality is Macklemore getting more for a show than J. Cole.

Yeah, and I would assume Bruno Mars is in the 750k range by now.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

His solo career was short....sounds like his N$YNC stuff might be separate from this so he's good.

$100 million feels low for him. He could have gotten $150m at least but a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
