Ehhh...his position is a bit problematic because its kinda short-sighted.

Also, he's wrong....rappers aren't the only artists selling their catalogues.

Wtf is he talking about. He said what business sells their business to make money? A lot of entrepreneurs build up businesses for the sole purpose of selling them to cash out and do something else with the bread. I worked at a start up that sold to Amazon for hundreds of millions.

It’s this ‘boss’ and ‘legacy’ IG talk that people babble about, but don’t fully understand.

The problem with holding on to your masters is the risk of uncertainty involved. It’s not guaranteed that you will continue generating income off your masters.

It’s not rocket science to figure out the present value of an annuity and price it accurately for sale.

Exactly. Ownership is important of course but people are quick to say if somebody wants to buy something off you then it must be worth more than you think so you should keep it. Not taking into account the work and planning and partnerships that they would need to go get on their own to maximize those profits. Unless you got a game plan in order to take what you’re doing to the next level it’s better to cash out while you’re ahead and flip it into other interests.

Only dummy is Slim Thug. White artists are selling their catalogs too and a lot of these deals are worth 10's of millions yet he keeps saying they're getting peanuts. They're actually getting paid more than the catalogs are currently worth.

There's been numerous articles detailing why it's a smart move to sell and if it wasn't smart why would Bruce Springstein and all these legendary, top tier artists keep doing it? You have some of the biggest acts in music history cashing out but Slim Thug knows better than them:mjlol:
