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

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

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

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

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

Food & Liquor. I asked Lyor for my masters as real equity in their nutty 360 deal experiment. He smirked & said "what? Like in a suitcase?"

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

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.

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.

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.

Yup. Clever right? It's was they would call internally a "Freier's deal" in Jewish business circles.

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

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.
