Yeah it’s not impossible

I think in a couple of years we will start seeing how profitable the re record music stuff is.

What we never hear from artist is how transparent are the major labels on how much money they have recouped from a project.

We know these small time labels and deals are fukked up.

The artist has to audit the label to see the real numbers.

Drake tried to tell you...

:manny:



And puttin' your trust in someone with the risk of financially sinkin'

All you did was write the book on garbage-ass Rollies
Ego strokin', picture postin'
Claimin' that you'd do it for motivational purposes only
But you just had to show me
See, I know, 'cause I study you closely
I know when someone lyin'
I notice people standin' for nothin' and gettin' tired

I know what we're both thinkin' even when you're quiet
Sometimes I gotta just make sure that I didn't lose you

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 :mjlol:

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?

Every album Travis ever released was through Grand Hustle/Epic

Brehs don't get it the big labels have got you cornered it's actually not that easy. Either you go with a big name and become somewhat mainstream or you struggle to keep your name out there as an indy. I can't recall off top of my head any new artists that has blown up as an indy. This goes to show that it really is not about the music anymore. Marketing influences people's music taste and what they perceive as good music.
young ma? :jbhmm:

Music labels are scammers.

Meek is going out sad. He needs to get hold of himself.
Zero sympathy for him or any rapper that chooses to bytch about a deal they willingly signed as a grown ass adult. I'm sure labels are tired of these nikkas that can't even honor contracts the label lost money on.

Brehs too quick to take the advance money to flex on nikkas then act surprised when they find out they gotta make that money back with interest :francis:

No, labels are scammers and they are happy to sign those artists to those shytty deals.
