RICK ROSS SIGNS WITH EPIC RECORDS ?

[straightcash]

Ross better off going independent.

You need labels for distribution. How are you gonna sell albums if its not at Best Buy or Walmart? And whose gonna press the physicals? Mainstream artists need labels, while indy artists can stick with digital because their shyt ain't in Walmart anyways.

In this era, all you need is an active Twitter account, a good promo team grassroots, and youtube. Ross is already famous, just use the leverage of that to push his shyt out there.

Ross shyt ain't in Walmart breh. This deal was for MMG not Ross. Ross can go Indy but he doesn't have the cash and strings to support his MMG. Think Gunit and why they can't even put out one album.

That can work fine. But he's going to have to stick with mixtapes and "digital albums". Not that big of a loss, since labels take most of the cash from album sales anyways, but depending on the artist and how they've always done things it can hurt. Someone like Drake or most popstars definitely need all streams open because they're all lucrative.

I was thinking the same thing...."I WONDER WHY" he would sign a deal with a major

 

[thernbroom]

How does labels make profit from rick ross if he doesn't sign 360 deals

 

[Brock Landers]

Are the GD's getting that check cut tho?

nope. He wont get that machine working for him to stay in the spotlight without a labels dollars. There is no truly indie artist at the top of the game.
