dumb post ..........

prince was an artist who didnt like the way he was treated by his record company, and when he had the chance he decided he didnt want to fukk with them

not everyone has a price but i guess you would be willing to abandon your principles for a check huh?

only a CAC or a slave would think like you do

Exactly. Plus Prince was rich as fukk anyways.

Michael Jackson had to go on tour to get himself out of debt which led to his death.... so the point you were making is daft

with all the deals he was flat broke, possessions about to be auctioned off, so for you to use his as an example of what Prince should be doing with his music shows your lack of intelligence

Secondly never go into business because you will go bust within a month , you obviously know nothing about long term business strategy


streaming affects his physical album sales, no ones going to buy an album when you can stream

streaming companies benefit financially more than the artists do...


Aloe Black got streamed 168 million times and only made $12,000 ....... FACTS

But I guess in your way of thinking thats a WIN right?



you know nothing about business.

The Aloe Blacc shyt is misinformation. First he isn't the sole songwriter and the label gets paid and the label pays him.

poor response

You brought a steak to my table that was cooked differently from how I ordered, I tell you the order is wrong and you mention the french fries


Do better.

Vibing now.

so a doctor would risk his license over something like that? Think about what your saying.

Uh, he not only risked his license, he risked his freedom. The nygga went to jail.

By your logic, there are no criminal doctors because they're all scared of losing their license lol.

I'm not making this stuff up, it's public knowledge.

If its fake news why was Conrad convicted of involuntary manslaughter?

Because he administered drugs that he wasn't supposed to to a patient he shouldn't have.

The doctor misadministered the drugs, not checking usage and previous dosage, then when emergency came he didn't administer care correctly in terms of providing medical care or properly contacting emergency services.

MJ was murdered

He misadministered drugs because he's an ethically challenged doctor bought by an emotionally disturbed celebrity. A celebrity who wanted unrestrained access to any drug he wanted. Why are you taking away MJ's culpability in this? He was a disturbed man spent his whole life finding unethical doctors to mutilate his face and his skin, give him unnecessary and illegal drugs, and do what he wanted when he wanted.

You keep saying "murder". If that makes you feel better. In mind "murder" means someone took actions to kill you, wanted you dead, and ended your life on purpose. Clearly Conrad didn't want that result. But if you need him to be a murderer to make MJ's sad death simpler, by all means go ahead.

Out my feelings? If you knew about the man's politics you wouldn't be running your dikk sucker in the first place. Its not rocket science. Perhaps you should explore how much companies like Apple and Spotify pay artist per stream. Maybe then the dimwit light will click on and you can connect the dots.........and the article goes into full detail why he despised streaming as well. It wasn't all about the money with him, its not like he missed any of it anyway.

goddamn it's about time....added some Prince ballads to my RnB playlist "The Book of Love" on Spotify. I highly recommend you all subscribe if you're into all types of slow jams dating back to about 40 years.

just be careful....somebody could easily conceive to this playlist.

 

[MrWestGrand]

why are cats celebrating this?...this is fukked up....this goes against what prince wanted and the main ones that's gonna benefit off this are the record & streaming companies, not his family....from past articles, you can tell the fam pushed for this cause the lawyers/friends of said companies got in the fam's ear telling them how they were missing out on so much money, how this is for the best, etc....when that check aint as big as they think it's gonna cause of what the lawyers said and they ask 'why it's not', they better not bytch/complain when they get that 'business reasons' answer....

Estate tax was due, so you know the family most likely cut a sucka deal to pay that off.

They gonna get crumbs compaired to what they should be getting going forward. Prince does numbers still.

Apparently the estate taxes are like $100 million and that's due within 120 days of the estate going into probate or whatever. But the family still had options on how to make the money using the catalogue and chose this route specifically, even knowing Prince's wishes.


Let's see how the lawsuit turns out. Hopefully they can right this wrong for Prince.

 

[Krazy]

Dont see how this is such a big deal...

Tidal only likely had Timed Exclusivity.

"Tidal loses" sounds like somebody said nah Tidal cant have this to themselves anymore
