I’m think I’m bout done with this place. Yall really hating on the chick cause she signed a bad deal like every other artist? Its soooo many no p*ssy getting nikkas on here just raging at anything that happens to deal with a woman.

I can’t have this lamecel energy yall put out around me:hhh:
The thing that makes the record deal terrible is the fact that she has to do four albums and they can decide if it’s not “album” material

So Summer Walker has the average music deal? :mjlol:
What do y'all thing other artists are getting, 16% of every dollar sold is slightly above the prototypical 90s-2000s deal - Mos Def even rapped about it on Mathematics :patrice:

No wonder she taking shots at Kevin Samuels. She makes less on her record deals than he makes on Superchat after Google Fees

16% is industry standard from what I've seen. She was a nobody working as a cleaner and stripper. She's winning if you ask me. I think it's a 4 album deal. 2 more albums she'll be able to renegotiate. She's antisocial and barely wants to do interviews and performances. She wasn't going to make it as an independent artist. She's literally the exact type of person who should be signed to a label.
If those albums perform and her stock is up at all. If not, and she's in the red, the next will be worse. That's two duds away from being back on the pole with little to nothing to show for it.
