What record deal you taking ?

5 or 6. Easy

Yeah. 5 is good cause you'll get part of Adele's visibility, and full artistic license/ownership. Write her a song and/or make her a beat and you could parlay that buzz. And if you got a hook it's over

6 is less ownership but you're on a label that will force you in the door if they believe in you so it may work out in the long run. Nothing else is worthwhile

I'd go with 5 cause I wouldn't wanna be mainstream anyway. I'd wanna have a big time single that I could eat off while I did what I wanted musically

Correct and with 6 you're guaranteed to 6 million to only release 3 albums, your own imprint, and you own 40% of your masters. You can always purchase the other 60%

This thread is a perfect example of why there's so many idiots signing their lives away on a daily basis. EVERY ARTIST EVER ON CASH MONEY HAS CLAIMS OF NOT BEING PAID yet people are picking Cash Money. 99% of the shady aftermath roster never released anything yet people are picking them. You get signed to a multi album deal and the 1st does just good not great and the label decides not to drop you for the tax write off but not push your career then you end up on a shelf releasing mixtapes to try and get them to believe in you again. As an artist you want your work to be appreciated and at the end of the day you want to own your work. There's no guarantee that Adele's label will understand what you're doing with your music but good bad or ugly you'll own it so you'll be a few steps ahead of tons of artist. Number 5 trumps all the others

The rest of these you'll never recoup

That's not true breh unless your album flops

 

[Redwing80]

Adele signed to XL AND Columbia

 

[Cynic]

That's not true breh unless your album flops

Labels recoup those expenses from your portion of sales/revenue

You could go double even triple plat and still owe the label money

Adele is signed to a bigger label which handles distribution and marketing. Artists that are on XL for marketing and distribution don't have big budgets generally.

Tyler The Creator did the 1 album thing there. Legit.
