Chance The Rapper outchea turning down $5 and $10 million label advances

[Henri Christophe]

exactly. and its anti-encouragement for us true indies.

THIS.


fukk nikka just reinforces the fact that you can't break thru and make mainstream waves without big corporations behind you. Meanwhile he's acting like he's the shining light of hope for Indies worldwide.



His gimmick is insulting

Ima have to give this dude a listen then. Only really heard him on the SZA and Kanye West songs

 

[Trill McClay]

Who hurt ya'll?



Sounding like some bitter ass females in here. Plant or not, signed or unsigned- let him

 

[ABlackMan]

Why can't we just be happy that the nikka winning? If he whack don't listen.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Interscope

 

[Lord Beasley]

Yeah how dare this nikka use the resources he was born with to be successful

this board hates on other ppl who do the same thing all the time.

Chance the Planter sounds better

Easy to turn down major deals when you and your pops chilling with Obama at the White House and you have connections with Jay Z and Roc Nation


and those advances are bullshyt, it's money to pay for shyt he already can afford and he would have to pay all that shyt BACK to the label, makes no sense if you already got bread and Apple promoting your shyt

 

[Arithmetic]

there is literally no reason he should go to a label
he already has the services that labels would offer him. the exposure, placements, relationships, fanbase...
but how did he get all of those things without a labe--.... lets not go out here asking too many questions

Why sign to a major when apple records is the hottest in the game?





I call ducktales too.

This is just part of his independent gimmick


The good ol independent grassroots good kid who's independant

fukk out my face

never change Coli brehs

 

[MIAlien]

Stop with all this conspiracy theory nonsense that's based on NO INFORMATION at all.

Chance The Rapper is independent. He does not have a record deal.

He may have connections through his dad or whoever else, but he is not signed to a major label.

Why take a 10 million advance when you have to pay that back some how...He's eating very well right now off of not having to pay back his label for studio and a bullshyt advance. Very smart move. He already has distribution through Spotify and iTunes and knows how to utilize the net to his advantage. He created the new model for artists to eat and not get ripped off with a 360 deal. If his career stalled and he needed a label to get over the hump then I'd say sign, but Chance is in a great position right now.
