Done.
You got sonned by an actual industry cat whose respected on here and refused to admit that...well, maybe he was right. But it was moreso about you refusing to admit you were wrong.
And I read the rest of the thread. @The HONORABLE SKJ knows what he's talking about...your counterarguments and rebuttals just seemed so...futile in retrospect.
There are lessons to be learned in life...one is to listen and not talk when certain people are trying to display knowledge.
smh. ride for the dude who doesnt know what he's talking about brehs.

now it makes alot of business sense she probably took it down because she's not getting her big cut... forcing people who want to hear her music to use itunes and amazon and buy her shyt hardbody... it makes perfect sense. WOW... i didnt know that pandora was so shytty. i'd rather just be on itunes and sell then...

A Pandora spin is one to one, it is not the equivalent of a radio spin which is one to many. They simply aren't the same.

Lord Finesse spoke on this awhile ago.
Spotify and Pandora are hittin' cats with the Little Richard royalties plan. It's no wonder De La Soul and Taylor Swift don't want anything to do with them. I don't blame them. Artists should be compensated fairly for their work.

nikka a sucker....in this day in age why would u even need a record deal?

y'all got this shyt so twisted it doesn't even make sense
first off... if you $1 a record in the 90s, you had a great fukking deal. regular starting prices on revenue from cd's was about 10-20 cents an album.... AFTER you recoup the advance and half the cost of your videos... so if y'all thought you'd EVER get rich based off ONLY selling cds, you're fukking crazy
so now, with tunecore or streaming sites, YOU CUT OUT THE RECORD LABEL... you don't have to press cds, it's all on the internet.. a sale of a "cd" now gets you 100% OF YOUR SALES... and they have about 100 plus stores, all over the world.. something you literally cannot do, without a label. you're not getting your cd out worldwide or in ANY store for 29.99... probably couldn't pull that off with 20k
but like dude said, that's not streaming... now streaming you get paid pennies.. you know why.. cause you ain't fukking doing nothing.. you aren't hosting the bandwidth, you aren't going out and getting advertisers, you aren't pulling in subscribers, you aren't doing shyt.. submitting a song/album and sitting back getting money when someone searches "rap mix 2014" is not fukking hard work... so you not getting shyt
now that that is established... the next part is ARE YOU SIGNED OR NOT... i can do whatever i want and keep whatever i want cause i have no label. but such and such has a label so guess what?? they taking a piece of all that too... so where you was getting back 100% off sales and a small % off streams... well now you signed that slave deal and the record label is taking 90% of that too
but on the other hand.. you got that label push.. so you're selling more and streaming more..
throw in other factors like writing credit, publishing money, how many times you're spun, how good or bad your deal is... and you can either eat or get fukked over
but all this uniform "you can get rich" or "you'll be broke" is all false.. too many factors, artist to artist, to say exactly what will happen. and if you stop streaming, what else you gonna do?? taylor swift could open her own streaming site... or the label can open one... but is anyone gonna subscribe to a no name artist with his own stream??? fukk no.. so he'd be better off using the plays to push his digital cds... someone like taylor would be better off cutting off fans cause her fans will still buy her shyt
