Streaming Services Be Robbing Artists....Check The Payouts

[DigitalDopeman]

That's why touring is essential. But damn a million play only gets you 6-8k?

u would think hitting a million plays or views would have you walking out the bank, but nahhhhhh......the streaming service is eating steak and potatoes with our music and throwing us artists the table scraps of our own recipes

"Give the music away for free, and then double up on these shows" - Nip Hussle

cuz labels stopped takin a chunk of touring profits???

label's/publishers not suin rappers for performing tracks containing samples or instrumentals anymore???

record labels are only good for marketing and promotion. we can do a majority of the record label's job and keep all the profit thanks to social media.

stay indie brehs

Jay is an idiot and so are you for listening to him. The labels are on the hook for paying artists not the streaming services. Tidal is contractually prohibited from paying the artists directly. It was a get rich quick scheme that backfired. Jay Z bought his masters so he can talk that shyt but majority of signed artists don't.

Let them get paid 6cent i don't care.

Again with this shyt

It's the record labels robbing artists

The labels are eating. The artist have themselves to blame for signing that slave contract

Its not FULLY the labels, labels have no control over how little a streaming service pays out, true enough the label gets a majority of the streaming revenue first, then pays the artists a portion, but still. And what u mean Again with this shxt, everybody dont know how this works, so if u know it all, keep it moving G

Nope, most of them are broke and living off of advances...... but most importantly to the so called artists (and there is a lot of them) who aren't really artists and they're using rap as their come up


The money dried up so take your hustling ass somewhere else for a quick lic

Advances??? this ain't 2003.

I'd rather get paid for streaming then nothing

[DigitalDopeman]

Wait wait wait breh.. Don't the 360s still comes with advances???? Correct me if I'm wrong

 

[Soundbwoy]

Google play still pays artists more than anyone.

Even more than tidal, the most expensive service.

tidal is the same price as others except for hi fi

Son.... The game is NOT the same lol. That's all I'll say. Dudes ain't tossing out heavy advances like that anymore. That's been dead for years now
