:lupe: "To convince Warner Brothers that a 17 year old kid should be able to get signed and write and produce his own album with no sales track record ..no shows performed ..is a feat that wouldn't be seen in today's market...."


"In today's market....the record labels want you to bring everything to them on a silver platter...hit records....a healthy fanbase and touring schedule and merchandising to match....and then want you to payback the "advance" they gave you and even after you pay them back...they (the labels) still own your ART (masters)"...

But Prince already had his success to create the barometer. If there was no such thing as Prince. Prince wouldn't get signed under the same conditions he did in the past.

Theoretically I get what he is saying...but he is not stating anything that is unnecessarily mind blowing.....as if Prince was the end all be all to the music business.

Fam. What he's saying is Prince is one of the greatest entertainers to ever step into the music business and wouldn't even get signed in this era. That's a testament to how bad and different the business is right now. Furthermore. He's also saying there could be another Prince out there right now who wouldn't get signed under the same circumstance Prince did.

they know they can manufacture sales

young prince is a easy push because he does all the heavy work

& in reality young prince would hustle it independent with all the tools available currently

Except Prince woulda still did shyt like not put his music on YouTube or stream it. He wasn't fond of much of the technological shyt that made music more accessible for a long time.
