The cost to own the beat is a price set by the producer. Copyright an album cost around 30 bucks

I mean like on average how much do you put into purchasing the beats for your albums.

Listened to some of your album while at work btw. Nice stuff. Where are you from?

oh really? Thats cool.

More people need to realize that owning your music is the best way to go. Whats the point of being the most popular artists and making all these millions that will all be going to your label? Being just a known artists but owning your music will make you way more money. Where do you think these huge artists are making the bulk of their money? Endorsements, touring etc. Its not from the music.

Most people ain't in it for the money. They want the fame. I thought we knew this.

With 360s is it still 10 cents a record?
Not to derail. But it's ironic lupe was just speaking on 360s yesterday.

And to those asking what's wrong with a label. This the type of shyt they put you through for that fame






I've been labeled, stamped, called and accused of being everything under the sun...

But never a liar.

Craig Kallman once negotiated a deal in secret which said I agreed to give away 85% of my pub rights to the song Airplanes to his producers

Because the Jewish lawyer I hired to get me off Atlantic, was more interested in taking 5% of everything I did. He sent a bill for 100k https://t.co/BYYHrVZxZk

Which represented 5% of the concerts I did while I had him on retainer. CONCERTS WHICH HE NEVER HANDLE CONTRACTS FOR @EverSoGabe

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

He said "what are you gonna do sue me? I'm a lawyer I'll win" he then felt so guilty he offered me 10% of my own money back @EverSoGabe

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

They speak out 2 me all the time. I've had 1 producer admit to me that he knows that it's wrong but they let him "win" so he just accepts it https://t.co/c6lYNxDCl4

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Not all of it. It's some good guys which I've had the pleasure to work with but I've never experienced what I've have at Atlantic anywhere https://t.co/OvCrH6TruH

When The Cool went gold. We hit a contract term/sales point that said they had to renegotiate for a larger budget for LASERS. So 2008ish https://t.co/o1RgNcctYQ

Oh thats doesnt matter when they don't stick to the contracts And when u get gangsta with them they call security & lock you out the office https://t.co/OqOTybnkOX

It's deal where an artist gives up 25% & up of EVERYTHING they do (touring, merch, pub) for large but FULLY RECOUPABLE check from the label https://t.co/g3Ln6I2BCG

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

The catch is that the label is getting more for the same amount of loan in market areas that it has no experience in. It's a fools deal. https://t.co/0kaS5yyMrD

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Nope. Craig Kallman brought me my 360 deal while I was half naked recovering from Pneumonia in a hotel room in LA. It was surreal. https://t.co/elEZuAtJan

Not if you sign a 360 deal. If you got a sneaker sponsorship or a role on a tv show they have rights to a percentage of that money. https://t.co/ryefaRv7Yw

Because some poor ass singer who was just sleeping on a studio floor eating ramen gets offered a million dollar check with 135% interest https://t.co/SqQvEdXSkI

Yup. Clever right? It's was they would call internally a "Freier's deal" in Jewish business circles. https://t.co/wbYIeRl5em

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Scam is harsh & it depends on who is offering it. The Atlantic deals were Freier deals But a LiveNation 360 might actually be frigging great https://t.co/tvEze9Rhbq

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Because I didn't sign the 360 (which I offered to improve and make fair and less theoretical) I was personally punished ruthlessly by them. https://t.co/FQIyiQMPOY

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Lyor's exact words 2 me in regards 2 my 360 deal were "if you grow cotton, why would you want to grow grapes?" @yoItsScotticus@WardDeandra

I don't tolerate REAL anti-semitism But I will not stand by as injustices based on a doctrine of "chosen & divine" rights are perpetuated https://t.co/HkIc6weKUM
