...come on let's picture the possibility...
When people talk about the music industry and it's not what people think etc. what are they talking about? What is The Industry? 
Could someone explain to me what exactly 'The Industry' is?
- Thread starter Young/Nacho\Drawz
- Start date
It's exactly what it sounds like, the functions that create and sell music and their related services.
e.g. labels, managers, promoters, artists, commercial media, writers, booking agents, publishers, studio owners etc.

The other side of the door.
The offices w/ the plaques, full of cacs...suburb nikkas that aren't hip hop fans at all.
Places where you hear shyt like: "Rap into your look. You should be more like bow wow"
"Give us more songs, we need to hear more" (to use for somebody else shyt)
and more, much worse shyt.

I love the hate. Enjoy those negs.
"I'm not an industry rapper, I'm a rapper in the industry."
You can be in the music business but not be apart of the industry. It's not simply just the business of music as some have suggested.

I love Dmx but like alot of these self proclaimed Real Street dudes claiming they "IN THE STREETS" and NOT INDUSTRY ...
THEY LYING TO THIER FANS AND THEMSELVES
Once u sign to a MAJOR you lost your sovereignty as an INDY artist and are now INDUSTRIAIZED
Regardless how ANTI ESTALISHMENT or UNIQUE you are...
DMX is a prime example...he was branded by DEF JAM and that is the entity that made the masses acknowledge him
even that SPOKEN WORD LECTURE he gave is courtesy of the industry: HBO (TIME WARNER)
and Its been like that...
PUBLIC ENEMY..BRAND NUBIAN...XCLAN and KRS ONE were INDUSTRY
Thats not taking away from thier art...
but as Chuck D stated thier Major Label SONY/CBS did not feel threatned at all by thier militancy
so that rhetoric is irrelevent
a major label rapper like DMX saying he is NOT industry
is like the drive thru worker at WENDYS saying IM MY OWN BOSS

Cormega is one of the few artists who could truly say I AM NOT INDUSTRY. ..Simply because he PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS
When he seen how DEF JAM was dragging by thier feet with his album THE TESTAMEMT
and his management Chris Lighty and VIOLATOR wasnt fighting for him
He got his released and took what money he had and invested in himself (legal hustle inc) and gave us One of the last greatest albums to come outta the East Coast..simply because he was his own man with full creative freedom ...
