Meek Mill calls out his record label

[nieman]

labels been fudgin the numbers since the beginning of labels. but these mfs have the market cornered so its extremely hard to break under an indie.

But they really don't even have to fudge the numbers. All they have to do is keep accurate track of anything they "gifted" you, or service you used and add it to the bill.

If anything, they can fudge the numbers for the plaques, but then give you true-numbers when calculating what you made

True

I also think rappers don’t have a good understanding on what it takes to make a record pop

meek mills music and style is played out. He thought he was a HOV

This is where he played himself. Nigg really thought he bossed the wave he rode. Now that the RocNation DREAM is coming to an end those fall off NIGHTMARES are ramping up.

I can't even blame Jay or RocNation for the delusions of being a Ruler. This guy literally gassed himself up.

This is crazy my nikka, Go holla at Jay-Z. I don't get why he need to make this public. What the fukk is this gonna do and accomplish? Telling us.

#1 - The fans aint gonna do shyt
#2 - The fans don't give a fukk

If you really cool with Hov, holla at bro and ask him to send you a lawyer.

Jay is prolly ready to bush this nigg. Jay has given him top tier PR and opportunities to make millions for years now. Meek isn't hot and reality is smacking him up right now. This is his way of smacking back.

Facts

Meek is seeing the decline in demand and is thinking that with all the work he put in, he should be getting more passive income from his work

While Future is getting the commercial bag. Meek thought he was one of them ones, started doing more shyt talking than power playing.

I could make an argument that Meeks success is all based on label resources and celebrity PR

he was lucky to get signed as Ross was Peaking and rode that wave

got lucky with the intro to his to debut album becoming an album because that song wasn’t even a single

The Nicki Minaj relationship and beef with Drake pushed him to star status

The Jail stint made him tragic hero that everyone from fans to the industry was rooting for

the labels capitalize off that ignorance.
i mean you can do it organically, it just takes time. that's how mfs like Trippie Redd popped

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?

AK really said everything I said word for word

He even got the same % splits I got at 10:44

One thing bout AK he's def plugged into the industry

I could expose what a lot of these rappers actually make a month but I don't mind them putting on a facade

Cats have no idea what happens when you take a picture with some jewelry on and a lease foreign in the background

People believe anything

The issue ain’t with Jay … he’s at the Brooklyn game with Hov.

 

[New Jeruz Jewelz]

Definitely giving game. All these rappers broke. Basically taking out loans to fund a facade and ending up underwater. Labels are basically banks, Artist are their own collateral for every 10 in we can loan out 100

These artists do be broke. Most of the artists are working-class musicians. That means they make enough to support their lives, but not enough to be well off. What's 30K for a party, when your expenses for the month are 100K? And they have to spend like that to keep their image up fro the masses. Any feature or verse he gets he has to split with whoever has his publishing, and the label gets their cut.

You get a 500K advance from the label (that you have to pay back), and won't see another check from the label for another 2 years, or whenever it's time for album 2...with another advance. Meanwhile, you already bought a house and 5 cars, and 3 chains.

Rappers are not broke

making a lot and spending a lot does not mean you’re broke
