What I wanna know with these artists when they say this is are they not getting publishing checks because as far as I know those are not given by the label but by BMI, Ascap, etc. Don't they get an advance every album? Is that not a check from the label?

No he’s lying just like every other artist lies. They all signed a 4+1 album contract. The splits from the music that THE LABEL now OWNS is usually around 88% to 12%. The artist gets 12% after they have recouped your budget. We also going to take a % from your merchandise you sell and the tour you go on just to make sure we try as much as possible to get our money back. All in exchange for a cash advance of 50-200k depending on how hot you are at the time.
They all took this deal because they were broke. I give drake credit. He didn’t bytch and moan for 5 albums when he knew he was getting robbed by birdman. These guys all try to dip after 3 albums. Uzi just tried the same shyt his last album. Megan tried to fukking dip after ONE album
Watch Travis Scott is next. You don’t think he feels like he’s outgrown T.I’s Label Grand Hustle even though he’s 3 albums into a 5 album contract?
Yep.
This happens to all the new kids, but it seems everybody always wants to call out Atlantic.
How much they spend?

Definitely his actual label and not MMG. I understand everyone does it this way but he should've just went to labels and settle it that way.
I can't believe these dumb nikkas still falling for the bullshyt. nikkas down here been figured this shyt out or moved on from music completely to owning property and businesses. When I hear rappers crying about their contracts it just let me know they had no plan after music.

hope he had more to say than that..that proves nothing. if his label paid the same amount that they made then they wouldnt have made any profit
