why do people keep saying this do u know how hard it is to get your shyt moving or get your shyt noticed without a label? Do you know how reluctant people will be to work with you? Getting your videos on TV? Music on the radio? For every chance the rapper ( who is signed to CAA) there are a million people grinding and seeing no results.

Didn't the world know who these people were before the labels "pushed" them?

CAA isn't paying for chance's studio time, air travels, etc

It's a booking agency

If it's that easy then everyone would do it. majors are still a big deal breh. they make life easier. that's why TI was independent for like two months then jumped at the first check from a major label.

Nobody wants to invest money and the time into themselves



It's easier for people to accept a check and let others do the leg work

But cry later about how your label shorting and not allowing you to be free creatively.

What legwork are people supposed to do for themselves?

This is a serious question

No diss

:hubie:

Setting up a marketing and promotion budget

Learning to market and promote yourself

Setting up interviews and traveling arrangements

Networking, building relationships, things labels do for you but at a cost.
