But 360 deals aren't as pevelant in pop is they are in hip hop. Records excs know
Hip hop isn't doing the numbers they used to so it gives them a security blanket on thier investments. You think Fetty getting all that show money. Cohan probably gets 30% of all revenues and don't forget he has a manager to pay 15% as well. And Uncle Sam gets half.
How do you know that 360 deals aren't as prevalent in other genres :what:

These labels build a (no talent having) pop artist from scratch, do you think they are doing it for free?
Rappers (and rock artists) are usually the only cats who can blow up before their first album without a smash single and shyt. Country too but they're in their own little world.

:why::dahell:

1.
:what:What rap artist you know is hiring dancers? Ain't nobody about to pop & lock to some future.

2.
Venues should have their own lighting.

3.
Travel fees shouldn't be so much that it blows through $30k, if your getting booked back to back then travel shouldn't be a cost problem. Rappers are touring for months at a time and travel fees should be considered an investment.

4.
:childplease: Man take them nikkas to iHop or Waffle House, shouldn't cost no more than $200 - $300 for everyone to eat.

You looking at it from what you would do lol. nikkas want private jets or rented planes to
Go from city to city. iHop really means Ruth Chris or Mr Chows. Some rappers actually have bytches shaking they ass on stageu think that's free? What mid level or high level rapper doesn't want some kinda special effects on stage.

Deal? Lmao artist development is what you call that and the reward is high sales. Did you listen to Lyor Cohan interview when he said its damn near impossible for rapper to
Get signed without a 360. Take Kendrick and Cole for Example, both at the peak of thier genre, both signed to 360 deals.
Rap isn't the cash cow it was 15 years ago labels got artist by the neck

You think 300 entertainment wasn't disappointed in Fetty sales? They not tripping tho cuz his other revenues are getting tapped into.

lol Adele is lucky to take home 30% of what she makes. Shes manufactured and thats why you never see her in the media.

I said no talent having so no, I was obviously not talking about those two. Adele was signed to one of the most prominent indie labels out and was already a name before she took it one step further. I'm talking about all the manufactured pop artist that don't move major units but move around like they are Mariah Carey like Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Grande, Rihanna and what ever their names are.

Taylor and Adele are two exceptions in their respective genres, just like you can't generalize rap by looking at Jay-z or Drake. Cole was completely unknown before his deal so him getting that major investment without a 360 would be impossible.

It's possible to get signed if you have leverage or if you sign to an indie connected to the majors and get major distribution when you get on like Macklamore.
