I remember Naughty By Nature dissed on the " Its On" track.

One thing that amazes me is that you got all these kids that want to do music but none of them read books about how the music industry works. All You Need To Know About The Music Business by Donald Passman covers all the basic stuff on how you make money in the music business as an artist. This book first came out in 1994 and has like 9 editions over the years. The first story in the book is how the Happy Birthday Song is a 2 million dollar a year business because everytime you hear it in a TV show or movies the publishers gets a check. I bought this book and it immediately made me money because it told me how to license a song to cover it and sell it legally like you see all these KZread musicians do. This was back in 2007-2008 when hardly nobody was doing this shit. You can license a song for 9.1 cent a copy from the Harry Fox Agency and now it's multiple services that do it and do your own version and sell it on iTunes and put it on Spotify and everything.

Love hearing interviews like this. It actually made me sit and listen to him. Young musicians should take advice from men like Mix alot cause im pretty sure he went through hell and back when it came to music industry business.

you struck gold with this interview Vlad. This information is priceless and it needs to be heard.

Wisdom has no Expiration Date This is Timeless......

Sir Mix-a-Lot is correct in this. Here is an example: The most famous holiday song in the US is "The Christmas Song", originally recorded by Nat King Cole in 1946. The last I heard, before Nat Cole's widow died a few years ago, the Nat Cole estate received about $90,000 a year from that one song, that is only played for about a three week period each year. But Nat Cole did not write the song, Mel Torme and Robert Wells wrote the lyrics and the music. Nat Cole's estate is only paid for his performance of the song. The estates of Mel Torme and Robert Wells is paid for "every" performance and use of the song and lyrics, so if the Nate Cole estate receives $90,000 per year, the Wells and Torme estates received significantly more. Another example is the Motown song catalog, Jobete. When Berry Gordy sold Motown for $61 million, he did not sell Jobete. He sold it later for in excess of $330 million.it is the song catalog that really matters, because it covers any version of the song and music, and all artists who perform it, not to mention usage in TV, movies, commercials, elevators, etc.

Love how he said not gunnu name...then said can't touch this lol

"Welcome to the seminar!" (I couldn't resist) I love to hear Mix speak on the industry. He drops so much helpful knowledge without a bunch of tangents. I know this is old but thank you, Mix!

I like this interview, he's definitely a smart guy. I wish it was a little more clear what the difference is between getting money from royalty checks and getting money from publishing (I'm guessing that means owning the songwriting credit). Also. I was unclear on what it means that you need to payback the label before you can get future money? I know it was a short clip without time to explain all that, but the music "business" is fascinating.

Too bad I never got the chance to make any money in the industry. :)

best video in a while. good shyt.

"Everything You'd Better Know About The Record Industry" by Kashif Saleem is an excellent book to read on this topic. A bit dated, but the perspective the book was written from (an actual working musician with first hand knowledge of the game from the artist and executive perspective) makes it invaluable.

Wow, I had no idea "Don't cha" by the Pussy Cat Dolls came from a Mix-A-Lot song. Cool !

He look better now than he did back in the 90s. Thats what happens when you own your own songs. You dont have to bust your ass, being out on tour constantly, getting tired and looking old.

Id like to hear more of these kind of interviews.
