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?
they get the advance but after they recoup they are suppose to start seeing a split of the revenue from the project

As much as you see all these artist talk about publishing and shytty deals you would think they would learn. Nobody to blame but themselves.

they should know major labels are snakes

independent is where it’s at
These people aren’t shyt without the label :russell:

Meek would have been stuck on a Philly row house street corner with fuzzy braids maybe would have became a statistic

Def would not be performing at MSG or have multiple Richard Milles :mjlol:

thats their album budget. the advance is for living expenses and whatever is needed for their album. it has to be recouped. its basically a loan

nikkas want the fame and aesthetic. you can’t get that without major label backing.

independent has a ceiling. labels gatekeep to prevent indy artist from being on equal footing as major stars. its rigged
