SOHH how cutthroat is tha music industry?

[Harry B]

As cutthroat as most industries with major companies.
Every decision is made in order to maximize the well being of the company not the people in the company.

Too many people are too stupid though, what the hell would you expect from multinational conglomerates?
Sympathy? Comfort?

The difference from the streets would be that they won't ever do anything to you physically.
But they will throw you in the bushes if you don't deliver, they'll do it in a p*ssy way though since real dudes/broads are underrepresented among the decision makers.

I don't believe this is tha case, I think decisions are made to maximize tha well being of certain greedy individuals...not tha company

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

Or right.

Def jam would still be def jam if jay didn't shelve x and cam

I know his music is basura but Wacka seems pretty knowledgable and not as ignant as his music would portray him *shocker*

"Greedy" individuals that own the company.

Of course we can put financial theory in the mix and say that the decision makers would rather favor the creditors or themselves.. But over time It'll be to make money for the company, market share for the company etc which translates to making money for the owners.

This is hip-hop but since it's of a personal nature I might not be suited for the booth, you mods can move it as you see fit

Recently dropped from my label (or did I drop the label?) . . over my excessive partying on weekends, ending up meeting my producer/CEO on a Monday and I was all out of tune on some . . well to put it short, have you seen some of my scattered brain posts on here? It's like I was responding to the things he said on a 1 second delay when I'm known to be sharp and productive with my conversation. If I wanted to write a Earl Sweatshirt record that would come natural to me but I've done my best to keep that side of me in check when it comes to my songwriting.

Anyway, I didn't get dropped . . persay, but it looks like I've gotten shelved indefinitely

This is deeply rooted independent label, structured similarly to Rostrum or TDE, they've recently secured their distribution deal with Fontana (off the strength of my single)

This is a clean-cut, non-threatening variety of hip-hop music that we're peddling here. So when I came in on some Lil Wayne ish these people were spooked, especially the producer who's the CEO/financers (by "producer" I mean financer who's taking production credit for the records he's buying the rights to . . on some Dr. Dre ish without the engineering skills)

All of the sudden my calls were going unanswered, plans for photoshoots got dropped, etc.


Here's the thing though, they've got the sessions files for of the work I've done with them and thus my single that secure them their deal in the first place. I'm wondering if I should quickly get to recreating that song in another studio with another producer or if I should just let it be.


Yes . . I got juxed

you better step you game up, if you are/were at the cusp of TDE/RR type label with all the "ducks" in a row...

just say the lil wayne lyrics was an alter ego

. . it wasn't the lyrics, it was demeanor during communication. We were meeting to discuss the release plan for a fellow artist and myself. My mind was delayed as if I was in a dream-like state, I cite this to having respect for the people I was talking to

I knew his momma wuz shady from all them past complaints lodged about her

But they said joo-man wuz makin more money in tha skreets then he wuz rappin, that's why he went back to tha streets, and lets not act like joo-man wuz extremely talented either...I don't think fans wuz receiving his shyt well so tha nikka basically just shelved himself
