dude...either your a paid pawn lobbying.for the MAJOR LABELS?
or your a Right Wing Republican who dikkrides BIG BUSINEAS?
Which one are u?
Cause i cant see any rational human being much less artist or fan SUPPORTING THE IDEAL OF A 360 contract
hell u talm bout artists are doing good..cause it allows the lable.to make larger investments in them
WHAT GOOD.IS THAT WHEN THE ARTIST HAS NO EQUITY AS WELL AS LEVERAGE cause he has to SELL ALL HIS RIGHTS for some measly advance!!!
And im from EXPRIENCE!!! ....I dont know about you but i had the infortunate task.of looking over a 360 deal that was offered by Warner/Asylum to the.production company i formerly help put together
IT WAS LIKE A BAD CELL PHONE CONTRACT.....
The CONS heavily outweighed the cons
to be honest THIER WERE NO PROS TO THIS SHYT
The fukking advance they offered was.more like a deposit on thier behalf that they had the right to recoup at any time!!!
So what the he is you talkinf about..THIER IS NO NET REVENUE TO BE MADE BY THE ARTIST
even the show dough which was the ONE RELIABLE STREAM OF REVENUE is now subject to be be.exploited by thhe majors
its a 360 degree SEXUAL OFFENSIVE CRIME if u ask me
cause the artist is getting FUKKED BY ALL.MEANS POSSIBLE!!
And why is RACE YOU ASK??
Because 360 as conciebed by Lyor Cohen and Craig.Kallman were first tried in the URBAN FIELD OF.MUSIC by labels like Atlantic and Warner
and.mostllly were offered as.the ONLY OPTION tjat.an artist was.offered
they didnt do that eith Country or Rock.acts..they still had the opportunity to excercise leverage and.explore.or negotiate other contract.options
look at Lupe...Lyor had no respect.for.duke....tried to treat this dude like rookie artist by trying ti get him restructure hus deal into a 360
also isnt it ironic...that 360 came at a time when Urban music is now a marketable pop product?
