He's not lying.

Roc Marci said it the best ....streaming is just sneaker money.

For Independent artists I'm pretty sure Bandcamp probably provides more money for the product.

But artists are putting their shyt on Spotify & Apple music hoping that some of their joints end up on a big playlist do boost up their listeners.

Spotify barely breaks even, unless you as a consumer want them to raise prices I dont see his argument.

 

[CP3.]

The average Spotify employee earns 14k a month?

He's got a point.

smh

It makes perfect sense to me. Are you familiar with the shyt he be on? I'm sure the shyt he said I've heard before from a more reputable source. I don't give a fukk about your opinion cause you make beats not when you're bat shyt. I'm sure rush Limbaugh said shyt I agreed with. I ain't posting it like look yall this fat honkee got a point. Yall love these nikkas it's time to grow up

DSP's have nothing of value without artists. These artists need to be getting at their labels to get better deals for em and if they have their own rights then band together and demand more.

Also the pitiful payments are part of the reasons many major artists gave up their catalogues for millions in recent years. Whoever is buying all of them up will have a monopoly when it comes time to sit the DSP's down at the bargain table.

 

[aceboon]

agree with the overall sentiment and issues with Spotify's payouts, but the average Spotify employee is not making $14K a month
