I agree with you and it’s very unfortunate that it has to be this way. However, in my opinion, a predator is always going to be a predator looking out for their best interests therefore, the best way to ensure some level of safety is making sure that those that may come in contact with him/her are better prepared.
This is a tale as old as time and somehow the cycle needs to be broken... somehow.
Thing is there is nothing wrong with signing the deal, the issue is not reading the deal being signed. NBA Young boy posted on social media that he offered to do the last four albums on his contract for free so he could have his masters, and the label said no. I’m inclined to believe that not having his master was part of the deal and written in the small print.
Isn’t Jay-Z still mad that he doesn’t have his masters for reasonable doubt?
I get the excitement of signing a deal that will change lives but there has to be an uncle/cousin/auntie/grandparent or somebody around to say “read the contract “

Really out chea
Despite what people and rappers may think, most artists don't get to own their masters and getting them definitely isn't automatic. It wouldn't make business sense for the label to make that a common practice. Publishing is the one thing that artist shouldn't sign away. And if they do, it should be a deal where it reverts back to the artist after a certain amount of time.
You have to have insane leverage and be willing to not take large advances to even think about getting your masters when dealing with a major label. That or buy them back for a large amount.
And nah, Jay owns all his masters but he splits ownership of Reasonable Doubt three ways with Biggs & Dame.
I guess it depends on the type of deal and the company you sign with. Probably not the best example but I recall Carl Crawford saying in respond to Megan that she owns part of her masters, so in my opinion everything is negotiable
I could be wrong but I thought the three way split is why Jay-Z was upset. Biggs and Dame didn’t want to give him the full ownership and Biggs said he would never ever... ever sell his ownership of that.

These rappers will learn one day. These “street” dudes look out for themselves first and foremost. The industry is built on robbing talent, no matter how “down” the label seems to be with the culture.

This.
Athletes also fall into this trap. They end up using the same accountants and lawyers recommended by ownership and agencies and get robbed.
I dont get how its malpractice if you read the contract..lol
I hate reading stuff like this. No tours are happening and now you force to live off royalties and merch for maybe a year. Now you wanna see the books and they look terrible..lol
End of the day, Quality Control got you in position. Migos executed and deserve most of the benefits from shows and songs/publishing
Been this way since the beginning of the record industry. Its a pick'em situation
end of the day, Artists need to stop signing to labels who are under a major label. That is the root of most of these artists "record deal" beefs.

Fact is most people refuse to read . You got posters on here who do nothing but post ...no job etc but turn they nose up if a post is more than a paragraph.
Imagine how many websites are visited & people click agree with out reading .
COVID has proven a lot of people don’t care until something effects them or someone they close too negatively . Music, health it’s all the same game
