Actually yes you do. They own/are in bed with all of the platforms to present your music independantly. If you rise to a certain level independantly/organically, they will be alerted and youll be contacted with an offer you CANT refuse. If you do, youll be blackballed, or sacraficed. They dont allow anything to get big or influential they dont control. Period. Theyre the mafia. Only with less class, respect, morals, loyalty and are immune to jail.

That’s why Blockchain, and NFT artist releases need to get strapped up with Distribution, and Media. That way the artists get blow regardless of labels.

Since streaming brings in almost nothing, some deals are 360 deals. So , everything is tapped and the revenue is almost impossible. Sadly, the interest rate is like a crazy 300%, from what I hear. Typically, the time you realize you are really getting paid and not seeing it, you then have to sue those mfrs to get it. Criminal

It all depends on what deal you get what you pay and tours and merch is all your money every artist pretty much knows this shit know and get on a label anyway

Right lol I was really interested to hear what he had to say. Where's the part with lil Wayne?

Also... ain't no new, up and coming rappers getting 4 million dollar advances. That shit just isn't happening. Artists in the early 1990's like Nirvana showed everybody in the industry who had a buzz and labels going into bidding wars over them how to get a good deal and not let the industry control you. _But_ - all the artists after them in the late 90's/early 2000's were too stupid to follow the blueprint. So when the labels upped their advances to $1 million, $2 million for _some_ artists/groups to try and entice them away from taking the smaller advance, more artistic control, ownership of your publishing and a bigger cut of royalties, the dummies (which was most of them) took it and gave the power back to the labels. Of course it all crashed with downloading and streaming and now label budgets are a tiny fraction of what they were in the heyday of the 1990's and early 2000's but still - a lot of it is on the artists and a lot of it is on Bill Clinton passing the Telecommunications Act Of 1996 which allowed literally _two_ companies to buy up all the radio stations, venues and most of the labels. Nirvana for instance sold like 10 million physical units between September 1991 and late 1992 and in that time, although they were making money, it wasn't _quite_ like the other groups who took the $1 million dollar, fully recoup-able advances. Then, by the time 1993 rolled around and Nirvana's publishing royalties from Bleach, Nevermind and Incesticide started coming in, Kurt Cobain - almost _overnight_ - went from being worth about $2 million to suddenly having $35 million. Then, because they negotiated the right to - Nirvana recorded their third full length album, In Utero, on their own dime, literally footing the whole recording, mixing and mastering bill and choosing/hiring their own engineer who because of his principles took a flat rate with no points (royalties) on the album. Then they also acted as their own - all things the record company _does, not, want_ and tried desperately to sabotage by spreading misinformation in the media and trying to sabotage their own artist's release - the band were able to immediately start receiving the royalty and publishing payments off the In Utero album. Had artists - like many in the immediate aftermath of Nirvana and others had done - kept to that blueprint, especially in the "wild west" days of the late 1990's and first 4 or 5 years of the 2000's when labels were signing any and everybody - you wouldn't be seeing videos like this. As for TLC, you can feel bad for them all you want but their problems come down to the fact that they were just stone, cold, stupid and listened to the label, the label's lawyers and the label's affiliates instead of hiring their own lawyer and explaining the contract to them in a way their 21 year old brains could understand. They essentially _allowed_ themselves to be totally ripped off.

@marcissobadass Dave Chappelle explained the native/indigenous Americans actually thought they were scamming the whites. Because the natives believed that land and nature is owned by God, not man. So they didn't consider Manhattan theirs. Therefore, they felt they profited by "selling" Manhattan (something that wasn't theirs) for what amounted to $24. But I understand you comparing the 2 scenarios of the naive being taken advantage of.😊

no wonder you see artist blow up then never hear from them again.

To be honest you guys should just make your CDs at the house if you want to make music because you can take it to the street and sell it and make your own money don't sell out and then they do all that silly gay stuff too come on y'all smh

Ohh I feel so sorry for them spending all their $$$$millions on luxury items, cars, houses and so forth and then noticing that it is actually hard to handle money, especially if you never had money!!!

I get a chuckle picturing that guy on his knees cleaning up all the money on the floor and neatly stacking it after the video ends.

When you think about it, there are people who buy these records.

THIS DEAL SOUNDS WORSE THEN GOING BACK TO AN EX!! HELL THE PHUCK NO! I WONT SURRENDER AND I WONT GO! LMAOOOO

What If, You Weren't Given An Advance? What If, You Just Submitted Songs To The Label, And All The Label Did Was Make An Album Cover For Your Album. Then, Released It Into The Markets. Then, The CEO Is Also An Artist, Who Gets Upset, Because; You Broke His Charts. Now, He Refuse To Give You Your Money?? BMI is Not Giving You Royalty Checks Either. You Only Get Two Royalty Checks Per Year. One For Your Birthday, And One For Christmas.

So what it seems like artists should do before they go to sign a deal with a record label is to make a binding legal document that trademarks their name, likeness, and intellectual property to hopefully be able to beat the record label at their own game. You would definitely want to get a good contract lawyer to handle it all to find specific loopholes that would work in your favor or against you. Doing it the Slim Thug & Lil Flip style is probably the best where you make all your own stuff so you own your own masters while getting out there spreading your music everywhere you possibly can. First time I ever heard Slim Thug was when he was still underground pushing his CD’s across the country in major markets. He caught me coming out the gas station in SoCal and I only had a $10 bill on me when he was asking for $20 (it cost $10 to make it with all expenses and he was trying to double up) but since I hadn’t heard his music yet he hooked it up saying I was going to be on the lookout for the next album I saw. He wasn’t lying and he has been smart with his cash ever since. The more cogs in the wheel of the business means more expenses and when dealing with a corporation that’s trying to make the most possible along with padding the pockets of their friends/associates.

They got Dem CHEECKS 😂

Wow, nice information from Weezy F Baby...

That's just business!

I been known this by observing I’m going independent though soo 💯🤴🏽🤷🏽‍♂️

Soulja boy slow for real

I’m untouchable I cannot be touched Money means nothing to me. It’s just burning paper and toilet paper. It’s all it is money is we don’t really need it if everybody knew and their minds that you don’t really need it would be better and then you do more things. You’re free free. I am a patriot and I approve all the messages I sent out there that we do not need money to live love and trust and leadership. God bless America a freedom.

Wow that's interesting

Go Yeeze

Money is nothing money is paper you want power look over money do what you want. Money is nothing it’s just paper.

That tons of money will not save people from their sins

Not surprised

360 deal is for the lazy industry plants who dnt care long as the label is doing everything n all the work lol the label should take the most profit

I love Wayne part

If you notice that money is prop money, because real money don't hit the ground that fast,it's lighter.Prop money weighs more than real money.Try throwing up one hundred dollars in ones to $100 fake bills.You will see the difference.

Hello Quinten😀

its not always the entire label, but just a few that run them

Bruh it's because everyone involved is in together against the "money". The money is anyone stupid enough to but that "x" on that dotted line. We "anyone" today wants our needs yesterday. We choose to wait for nothing, so much Im pateince. Let that soup simmer my dude be patient. Look at all possibe avenues. Chose wisely 🎉🎉
