Young Thug's label loses distribution deal

[ORDER_66]

i have to say this a lot on this board.....

you're thinking of yourself, your friends and people on here... realize you are on an internet forum, speaking with other people who are tech savvy to tech geniuses, about tech, music, movies, etc... usually talking about these things months in advance, with details from 15 different websites, interviews, video, breakdowns, discussions

this goes from music, to sports, to technology, to even fukking porn... nikkas talking bout "oooo weee that new ________ bout to drop in 16 months, here's the ceo of the company and 16 reviews and a picture



the rest of the US... and even more of the world... is still on slow internet, basic phones or don't even utilize their smartphone, don't know shyt about the inner workings of the music industry, nor when that new Nas album is going to drop, or what movie is coming out December, let alone next December, or what Dez Bryant or Codi Bryant is doing with their lives

for every one of us coli brehs with a new phone, downloading everything free, watching movies on an ipad.... there's 20 regular people, who can't figure out how to set up the damn wifi in their house, scared to put their credit card on the net, and couldn't tell you shyt about technology unless their kid comes and shows them...

and even then they just throw their hands up and say "fukk this i'll just go get the cd from the store.. i like to have it in my hand anyway"

Man it irks me when people dont realize the basics of sending a fukking Email...

Who said people are still buying CDs?

Compare Drake (killing the game) sales to DMX in his prime - nowhere near.

Ok physical copies still beat digital downloads, but you're not accounting for illegal downloads and streams, b. Hard copy sales are waaaaay down.

no shyt they are down.... from 100% of sales to 48% of sales

we talking about people not doing numbers as the reason why lyor left... so illegal shyt has no bearing on the convo cause it don't make money... that's like counting bootlegs you buy off the street in the physical side... it don't fukking matter

as for streams... they are counted and added in to digital sales.. they also now count towards going plat...but the artist and label gets less money off 10 million streams vs 1 million sales. so again... fetty going plat today doesn't mean shyt to the money the label is making




all the stufff we talked about is directly related to why lyor left and why his old label can't get any distro

@The HONORABLE SKJ

I mean not really from a financial standpoint.

Question: If you had a choice to continue being the CEO of a fledging Imprint in a fragile music industry or the head of all musical content globally for a media content provider (youtube)...WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?


trust me....LYOR ain't lost shyt...he got made an offer he couldn't refuse...

Lyor Cohen Leaves 300 Entertainment To Become YouTube’s Global Head Of Music

Honest question:

What's the difference between Dame and Lyor?

In the meantime Lyor keeps getting jobs while Dane is completely blackballed

Who did Dame get blackballed by? People still ride for Dame, but those same people would never do a deal involving him. Lyon gets deals because of his track record. Dame hasn't had one to speak of in a dozen years since he burned so many bridges.

The record industry would let the leader of Boko Haram run a record label if it could make money.

Financial standpoint too. That's how it's set up. To try to equal how much you would earn from just straight platinum without streams. But with these streaming companies they're probably telling

 

[CHERUB]

But people still buy CD's Tho!?!!?!

Of course bruh. Believe it or not everybody is not up on streaming formats and platforms. I know its hard to pill to swallow but people aernt rushing to buy young thug or migos or whatever. Small group nationwide like these guys enough to actually buy a project. They need that push to get every lil dime to recoup.

Isn't that light blackballing?
