Larry look like Affion Crockett playing Larry Jackson. 😂😂😂😂
That was spot on yo 😂😂😂
man loooks like shawn livingston
Accurate
STOP. LOL. THATS HILARIOUS
I CAN'T UNSEE IT!!!
Larry Jackson might be the most elusive executive in the music industry.. to be this successful and still maintain his mystery is legendary..
He’s a genius
The Art of no rims on the Bentley
@SilverJoystixI’ve heard of him for a long time, drakes mentioned him in his music since the beginning of his career. I’ve never seen him though, he doesn’t ever do shows or interview.
This is a big interview for Joe
Yep this is the genius sets behind the scenes destroying the black community
This is how an exec should move.
I think Joe is at his best when he’s talking music, whether it’s these interviews or the podcast itself (the jokes/comedy play a big role too in the podcast, of course). I’m loving this so far.
Can't have a podcast show that's the same...variety is key
Quietly a master class of how to control the convo and dance around uncomfortable questions. 😭
I woulda pressed his ass.
Coming straight from the Clive Davis school of Deflection 😂
Exactly...this guy trash
Dancing around good questions too
Yeah when Joe said you are a person who knows everything going on in the business at the start, my ears perked up and at the same time I thought that wouldn't be something I would want said about me given everything going on but dude didn't attempt to deny it which shocked me. I would have been like naw I actually don't know much believe it or not, it would seem like it but naw! 😂😂😂
The nerd in me is so grateful for this interview! Thank you Joe.
Larry gives off the same energy as Gustavo from Breaking Bad
I love when Joe gets in his Dianne Sawyer bag these interviews are all so good salute

@@Overqualified1~LOLOLOLOLOL
Joseph Anthony Budden, I watched this interview with the anticipation of you asking one of the only people on earth that could answer the age old question "What is the value of a stream". So disappointed in you bro. 😥😥 The esthetics was dope🔥🔥
Larry has a great way of talking around direct questions lol
The Rich Paul school of thought
VERY GOOD AT THIS
That’s all he did this whole interview
Sexy redd don’t sell records she’s being promoted to lil girls for destruction
Just imagine how he ripped off artist an exec when streaming came around
Larry was moonwalking around some of these questions. Switched the whole subject when Joe asked him why are the same type of acts being pushed 😂😂😂
Matrix-level dodge
He didn't dodge the question AT ALL. He answered it masterfully by pointing out the reality of how an entire music store is at our fingertips. He explicitly said NO ONE is _making_ you listen to anything, nor keeping you from listening to what you want. I subscribe to that 1000% on many levels. Personal responsibility. I'm tired of hearing about these concepts of how the media divides, and mainstream manipulates, and there's a plant here, and an agenda there, etc etc. Take charge of your own life, use your own mind, make your own decisions, go against the grain, curate your own exposure, stop depending on these industries to expose you to what it is you want; it's lazy, think critically for yourself, shun what's destructive, seek out what's constructive, etc. Etc. This whole concept of complaint about what the gatekeepers and shepherds do to herd the sheep is pathetic. There will always be sheep, and they always be manipulated. We can't save them, let's worry about ourselves, and let's those who are asleep remain asleep. Most of them put forth NO effort to enlighten themselves, many more simply don't have the ability. Taking the accountability off of them and placing it on the "man" is entirely counter-productive and actually enables and perpetuates what it is you're trying to aleve. Ignorance is bliss to them. 'Less is more... there's plenty of us'
@@Thomas998822I completely agree....
@@Thomas998822bingo
@@Thomas998822 well said
Who you lay with tells a lot about what you value most.
I agree
This is the type of dude that you think would help the black community but undercover destroys it. He avoids a lot of questions that are important and all he cares about is who he gets to rub shoulders with so and then people can feel the same importance of working shoulders with him knowing this is the very man putting up the sexy Reds to destroy the black community. This was a very telling interview and was not helpful at all he did his best to control the interview and the questions that he did not want to answer
I 'm not so sure I'd go to that hard stop of a conclusion..
How many other label founders and CEO's you see doing what he did?
He's taking a huge risk by going on the Budden podcast I'd say. He said at the start people were telling him not to.
I'd venture to say, since we literally see almost no one else of that level of power come to speak, ESPECIALLY during this time.. He did excellently compared to his peers.
He probably gives people keys when there aren't camera's around.
Well said Byron . Spot on
@@timeless_heritage you don't up someone of his position for the attempt itself. 'at least he tried''. Fck that, this ain't a Tuesday improv class that someone is doing for fun. This is an industry player. It's part of being on the field. Up him for what he actually said.
@@timeless_heritageI bet you thought the chipotle CEO was cool for doing that lame interview too. They just dodge questions everyone wants to know and spend more time talking about random stuff that isn't really important.
This interview is a Master Class in Media manipulation and subversion. I figured that’s what it would be from Joe’s clips on IG. To me personally, industry execs always seem shifty, vague, and ambiguous because of the nature of their careers, across the board in every industry. They’re all owned by companies that have no interest besides gaining control. From the jump he couldn’t help but name drop industries and their heads. First 10 minutes there’s Disney Clive Davis etc. This is an industry interview nothing more, nothing less. Anybody that knows anything, knows the industry in totality is a blood sucking machine in all of its forms. I’m only viewing to see how deep he is into it, because I know who backs him and is behind him. I’m not interested in much else he has to say until he stops cuddling up with the powers that be and uses his talents for the empowerment of our people, and not for getting folks to give themselves and their power over commercially to people who are only looking for control. It doesn’t help that he seems to be here only to paint a specific narrative. It’s obvious if you listen to his language, tone, and name dropping. It’s nothing but PR, media management, and the manipulation of audience perspective. Nothing he said promoted true independence. If you listen closely he is only ushering people to a new medium of industry, not encouraging the creation of entirely new and separate ones, for us and by us. I’ve done research into all of these things and none of them are run separately or independently from the powers that be. They are all Artificially intelligent digital shackles instead of contractual ones. They are all under the same slave masters using the same allure of commercial success. Everything he said was poised in a sensationalized way. Theres a reason why they sent a black man up to the podium to speak on “the most popular music podcast” and captivate. If he was here representing himself I’d be rooting for Mr. Jackson, but he’s here to represent Gamma, a non black owned industrial entity, whether he has a part in it or not, and I’m praying for its destruction same as the rest.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, I feel the same way. Honestly, you don’t even have to listen close. He’s like a used car salesman.This interview completely lowered my vibration for a hot minute. The constant name dropping was & is repulsive
👏👏👏👏
Just yesterday on Dregs One “History of The Bay” podcast, Boots Riley of the “Coup” stated: “I am not just trying to stop participating in this system. What I am trying to do is to get people to overthrow the system and that's two different things. (Because) you can't stop participating in this system. There is no way to do that.”
@@THEREALTUNAWAHOO I love that. That’s a great quote.
Huh🤦 write a book why don't cha sheesh
Joe’s ability to back people into corners & not make things awkward is AMAZING !
SOMEBODY GET LARRY JACKSON ON THE PHONE 📞 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I need some ownership if we pressing go 🤔
Cause business is boomin on behalf of me, I need a bite outta the Apple like Adam and Eve
Need my paper long like a milk verse 🔥🔥🔥

@@blackgoat5635or like Philly judge, fuck we beefing for if we're really blood.
The way this man avoided the Drake questions was funny but over all good interview
This is really technical.
Good interview, good information ... He spent most of his time not giving any eye contact and talking around questions.
Joe using his “this is an important interview” voice is making me laugh. 😂
Larry Jackson’s been a mythical character to me up until this point. Looking forward to watching this 🔥
@JosiahAli where you get that from?
@@producedbynorthstar”mythical”. No disrespect but that person isn’t invalid in their perspective. Larry Jackson is just a man. You’ve mythologized him by admission. That can be very logically seen as “diq riding”.
Toxic folks always bring up diq riding. They need to sit at the little table and be quiet.
@@williamgrierson4133 my personal belief is that God put value into everything, which makes the ability to speak multiple languages very important for gaining new perspectives. Even if you think the language is ignorant and/or infantile, God is there because he’s everywhere. If you believe in that kind of thing, it isn’t for everyone.
@@TheVIITV I got some time today so I’ll entertain the bs. Definition of a “mythical character” is as followed: “Something or someone that is mythical exists only in myths and is therefore imaginary.” Prior to this interview, I’ve only heard Larry Jackson’s name mentioned. I’ve never known what he looks like, nor did I know much about what he does, I’ve only heard stories/rumors. So because I know next to nothing about him, I could only use my imagination whenever his name was brought up. Therefore, as I stated before, he’s been a mythical character “to me” up until this point. Now help me understand how that simple statement correlates with diq riding.
This is my first time learning of Larry Jackson's existence, but I've gained much respect for his persona, influence, journey, and the knowledge gleaned from said journey. His take on the Kendrick-Drake feud was quite mature. He strikes me as someone who always has the bottom line in mind but the integrity to care about how he goes about obtaining his objectives.
KCP really killin it out here. Legend in two games.
Man, I can’t lie I’m having the hardest time believing anything bro says lol but he sound like that dude in the industry .
Clive Davis and others must have Groomed him hands down ! He's still their dude 🤔...& His Partner at Gamma ,who is also the President of the company ..(probably the main stake holder.).Is a white Jewish Billionaire ...The Picture speaks for itself.
I was fact checking mid-interview LOL
People are so addicted to, "tea," they can't appreciate that he refused to go too far making statements that would be a lose lose for him. This was a GREAT and informative interview. They both did a great job.
He answered Joe’s question about Drake. Simply put, Drake signing the Apple Music exclusive deal, gave him even more credibility to get this latest venture (GAMMA) going. He’s forever grateful to Drake & because of that, yes, Drake makes money on all these ninjas. As he should
Yup. It sounds like Drake was what he went knocking on doors with to convince them to say Yes to him.
Bt he states who the real investors are...Remember when they said Jay Z owned the Nets lol really
@@ofentsentsie3835we own 20% of these niggas that's tootsie money I'm wilding with yall bread drake on Champaign poetry
That would mean he owns a share on gamma artists not everyone
He did not say that. He didn’t confirm or deny but to me when he named his investors with skin in the game he was naming the people who have equity!!!
Joe: "Is it wrong for the casual listener to assume the labels are behind acts like Sexxy Redd?"
Larry Jackson: "Willow's album is incredible"
Mr. Larry Jackson. You have my deepest condolences 💐. I wish you and your family peace ☮️ , healing ❤️🩹 and blessings and privacy at this time
Hands down Joe’s best interview 👏👏 give him his flowers. Making the move from music to media, he has done everything right. Kudos
You think so ? I thought the special ops agent and 9/11 interview was up there …: at least for me
@@brozay7855 great interviews, only reason being this one discuss topics I am more interested in. Thats all. Also Larry is someone we always hear about but never see
Been rocking with Joe Budden since def jam vendetta in 03 and 04 fight for NY LMAO. Checking out his slaughterhouse verses and catalog by far one of the most impressive brilliant rappers I’ve ever heard! His growth and evolution in the music business and entertainment industry is inspiring and incredible! 💪🏽
Joe the worst rapper in slaughterhouse don't @ me
Joe's definitely one of the most dopest rappers. People won't admit it for whatever reason but yeh I've followed his entire music career. One of the best...drake said that.
@@tatertots0046 You're crazy. Joell Ortiz was most definitely the worst.
Crooked
Royce
Budden
A literal sack of shit
More shit
Joell
@@tatertots0046even if that's true, is being a worse rapper than Royce, Crooked, and Joell really a slight? Or do them niggas rap better than 90 something percent of the field?
@@tatertots0046
1) Royce
2) Joe
3) Crooked I
4) Joel Ortiz
In that order
And, it makes sense that drake was one of the ones to get it first, regarding the streaming, because the DatPiff type of scene was right up his alley.
This might be the most important interview Budden has ever done
💯💯
Larry and Drake about to own half of hip hop
If they don't already lol.
@@Bejtsen😮😅I think you are right .. the way he long winded that answer .. sounds about right Drake owns a part of everything
And stamping it saying they are card counters 😒😬
Isn't this the same company that gave us sexxy red? Pray for our kids.!
@@markmendez1014they didn’t give us sexy redd she was long active before they came around lol
Dude is extremely intelligent and i respect him how hes trying to shape the music industry by getting the artist paid regularly.
Everything outside of that he said a whole lot of nothing. Tap danced around every single question. Genius in PR relations. He really skated the Drake questions
Every question
If you actually thought he was going to answer questions like that, that’s on you😭
He put himself right in the thick of things tho by opening with his career starting at Clive Davis crib and saying he knew he needed to sign with him from there in the late 90s. Didn't protest joe saying he knows everything that goes on in the music business. Said Joe would have needed the gatekeepers to stamp him being where he is now etc.That tells me he very much so was victim since he came in young with Clive but turned predator who kept and keeps the secrets, witnessed, participated, facilitated, orchestrated, enforced, hid, covered up etc a lot of messed up business practices, rtuals and abuse etc!! And he very much so was involved with and knew about diddy since diddy was one of Clive boy toys too! They both came up together through the same door and mentor doing the same thing behind the scenes!
@@mahoganysweets67 I worked along side Larry. Took him to lunch to convince him to come to Arista when he was at KMEL and had other label options. I worked in A&R for Clive for 15 years. None of the S*ht you and others are saying about Clive or Larry is true. I was there. Larry was a young super intelligent sponge in which he learned sooo much and then used it to create ambition. He was fired by Sony for cause - not going to say what that was, but it was to the benefit of an artist. It kills me to see the unacceptable behavior of Puff bleeding over to other executives that are in no way associated in any of those things. Larry is a genius. Does he know how to play the game. Bigtime - and that is major props for a young executive to do so much at such a young age.
@@hoshhoshgcom I get what you're saying and I respect it! I picked up that he gifted or a genius but I don't believe he was that high up and didn't do or participate in certain things, witness certain things and for sure heard about certain things even outside of puff! They all have all 4 from various forms of entertainment to politics, even child protective services and cops... in all these fields, the only ones in the dark after so long are the ones who choose to be and that's still after being in the light! Even those at wells Fargo on the 3rd floor knew and heard about what was happening in the basement and 9th to 11th floor! You want us to believe we knew and heard before yall? Yall found out when the masses did? If that's your angle, goodnight Larry and Co.
You've got a unique voice, keep using it to make an impact!
Larry Jackson, name droppers paradise
Very happy this was made available to the public. Been looking forward to this talk for some time
Larry just says whatever pops into his head. The questions are just there to make seem like this is an interview
1:03:40 for anybody that came for the drake discussion
Thank you😂
God Bless You ❤😅
thanks g
Danko
Thank you 🙏🏾
This is a master class of tap dancing.
Gregory Hines levels of tap dancing going on in this video.
2 things I took from this interview:
1. Larry is a culture impersonator and in light of the shift in mood and behaviour relating to artists and executives, he tries to paint the picture of somebody who helped shift the industry to this point.
2. I believe the timing of the interview is interesting. He never talks about Bad Boy or Puffy, albeit his close ties to Clive Davis. Goodness knows what he did in his teenage days to rise to the top of his profession, but his mannerism and slight arrogance throws me off quite a bit….. He uses ‘the BLACK Culture’ slogan or references to it a lot… he doth protest too much!
Very well stated 🙌🏿
Very pretentious.
I agree, very astute observation on your part.
@@TheVIITVThere is a reason he has been in the shadows for so long….. question is why come to the light now?
@@Iron_Bull exactly!
this dude is one of the main people responsible for the bs and negativity thats pushed through music to the youth…bro talks like hes some savior when hes actually the devil to the culture 🙄😒
Dead ass, I was listening to what he is saying and everything sounds good when you remove the fact that culture is important. Dude just knows how to package and sell product which is respectable and knowledgeable for those of us that don’t wanna get tangled in the industry but wanna know how to make something shake on their own.
I wouldn’t say he’s the devil, but he’s definitely associated with him and works along side him.
@@inturnetavatarexactly!
thank you. When he didn't answer that question Joe asked about the lack of diversity that said it all.
also his association with clive davis says a lot.
the way he stopped joe from speaking on the kendrick vs drake makes vince staples points more valid
What do you mean?
@@filltheglass2618 Vince spoke about drake vs kendrick as if though it was only a distraction, money was lost last year in hip hop business, many people were laid off and then these two have the biggest hip hop beef we’ve ever seen, the machines made alot of money. Larry’s seems to support that by saying the real winner lives in santa monica, and he’s not talking bout kendrick lol
@@Thegotimeshow So you think it was orchestrated by UMG to keep hiphop relevant?
@@filltheglass2618yes very possible, be realistic we live in America
Gama is the highest frequency that the brain can vibrate on and in the same conversation he's saying Sexy Redd is on that same frequency which her sound is clearly not. The math isn't mathing. 😅
He’s giving Drake a lot of credit for the success that he’s had with Gamma. “Can you put a price tag on that?”
Yeah Drake is definitely getting a piece of everyone’s pie.
Not only that for digital success of hip hop music.. I thought drake wasn't apart of the culture
That’s What I Got? He Had To Have Taken Down His Wife Or Daughter … Drake Is hemorrhaging right now
Larry Jackson hasn’t really explained how Gamma monetise differently to a record label apart from they pay artists weekly, and provide artists with predictive earnings. I’m sure they leverage Apple Music contacts for content sharing. It sounds like they have a 360 deal with the mention of Monetising podcasts, merch etc. Of course he won’t share the keys but I’m invested to do some digging. It’s obvious that Drake is a seed investor
Drake doesn’t need to be an investor to have equity. More on that in a second.
This is the equivalent of affiliate marketing. I think LJ covered every artist in the gamma stable over the course of this interview.
Juggling the concept of high frequency black vibes while monetizing some of the most low frequency music imaginable is a special skill. But I suppose to be human is to often be conflicted.
He needs to pitch that “every voice matters” line a little different . To be a card counting hit maker, a trend setter, a refined man of taste REQUIRES discernment. Your watches and your water are curated as intentionally as that interview location so come on my guy - if all water and all watches actually don’t matter…do all voices really need to end up in my daughter’s ear?
I’d like to see the parts of this interview that were edited out.
The answer to the question about Drake’s possible STAKE in gamma was like saying “look over there at those OTHER guys I’m grateful for”.
Anyone that helps a new company get up and running may receive equity. What Joe meant to ask was “is Drake on your cap table?”
If you started a company designed to nurture and produce hit makers and flip the recording industry on its ear and Drake agreed to consult - wouldn’t you give him equity?
In the same way that Joe doesn’t need to put this interview behind the pay wall to get paid, Drake doesn’t need to be an “investor” to get paid.
JB ducked his head and pumped the brakes a few too many times on this interview and maybe LJ’s fam was off camera and JB was feeling less ratchet but I wish he didn’t let all those SAT words mess with his fast ball.
But maybe JB will be part of the LJ empire soon enough. :)
But I’m cheering for any brotha with this level of inspired vision. Do to music what Rockefeller did to oil. Then keep bequeathing what you learn back to the game.
Wonder why he had to emphasize Ian’s last name so hard though?
Joe paywalls the Candace Owen’s and dr umar episodes and its still not on TH-cam . But releases this instantly 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Make sense to me. People gonna get triggered by those two names specifically and flood joe w hate and other bs about those interviews. If y’all gonna hate he gonna make you pay for hating simple
This is good information for the public the other two are just loud content that could lead to goin viral unnecessarily.
Knowledge vs Entertainment
To be real this one is very important for music
Or people are still watch those episodes at a high number
This was a glorified advertisement for Gamma, riddled with intellectual filibustering and PR censorship, not a genuine conversation. Joe coddled Mr. Jackson during this talk, and in the editing of it. I’m glad I wasn’t expecting journalism or a genuine dialogue. Larry mostly talked and Joe mostly listened while being used as a spring board for Larry to just keep talking.
u gotta put yourself in the mind of joe, he tried and tried again so he knew if he kept prodding him he would either leave or it was create tension in the room. if u agree to speak to a narcissist and u wanna get some information out of them u almost have to play by their rules peep game
@@starstruckt Facts I definitely agree. That’s what I thought as well. I didn’t expect anything differently from him. At the end of the day he was doing his job and he did what he needed to do to get it done. I will say tho, that the truth of how he got the job done is till the truth. Placating to his ego was the only way Mr. Jackson would have felt comfortable enough to say what he said. I’m glad there’s some one like Joe who can do that job, because I personally wouldn’t have been able to suspend my sense of principle just yo avoid conflicting with his.i was more so expressing an observation than making a complaint.
They really stepped up the production value on this one
Sitting in a grey shack with 3 cameras for 2 hours?
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti 😂 pay2play type shii
When Larry spoke about how he is proud of certain people on his team for “fighting for the ball”, metaphorically, I couldn’t help but think who’s the opposition; the majors or the other players in different business sectors? Like what is the end goal? To get just as much power as the major labels along side the 1% artists (Drake and Usher) or to make music ( or rick Ross’s podcast lol) a much more popular resource for media manipulation? Just so many questions that I know will never be answered.
"extreme personal lows and extreme professional highs all at the same time"
Illuminati confirmed 👁️
This is a master class about the music business and I don’t get why the comments below aren’t picking up the 💎 💎that this dude is dropping! He’s breaking all types of barriers and y’all don’t appreciate greatness!
Great interview and and display of how a boss should conduct themselves. Larry Jackson is not a hater and that’s admirable these days. It’s so easy for a lot of people who are deemed to have “cultural impact”to get triggered and get to gossiping. They always take the bait and small minds eat it up. What ever game gets dropped get shadowed by gossip. Larry doesn’t play that game. I’m glad I watched the whole podcast.
So many gems specially if you’re just interested in the music industry the dualistic language really resonates 💯
Fantastic interview. Joe Budden's questions gave way for great dialogue with Larry Jackson, always giving him time to speak.
I've been fortunate to spend time with Larry throughout my career, finding our conversations insightful and a privilege. It's great to see this level of discussion online.
As someone who recently started a TH-cam channel interviewing music executives like Troy Carter (Lady Gaga, CEO Venice Music) and Tyler Henry (Manager PARTYNEXTDOOR), I really value the open dialogue here. It’s much needed.
And Shout out to Ian for EPing this. It’s got his fingerprint for sure.
Appreciate you all, gents. "Each one teach one."
The interviews you got have people answering questions
@@sp123 🙏🏼 aspiring artist, managers and others needs answers
This is one of my favorite podcasts of Joe Budden ever. Please do more of these and even make these patroni specials. This is Fire!!
Drake is a silent investor and has a crazy contract with gamma. Tech company. Pay attention to when he talked about that AI snoop verse, he said we. He’s a great deflector, but he tells on himself with his choice of words and body language a lot.
Love when the network gets down to business like this.
Affion...u ain't fooln nobody 😂
AYYYYE LARRY THE GOAT!! rest in paradise phil ❤ the familys here for it 👏🏽👏🏽💯
I thought that was Scottie Pippen at first. 😂😂😂
This is much better though..
Lmao
Can’t unsee this.
Larry is so shifty. Whenever he’s not being truthful, he looks on the floor or in the air to choose his words. That’s a peculiar tell. He knows what he’s doing. This interview is just PR for his company(not that I blame him) but he should stop talking like he’s so different from traditional labels. What’s the “tech” that makes gamma a technology company?
I agree whole heartedly. The agenda is clear and so is the desire to control the narrative for gain and benefit rather than for the sake of honesty, transparency, and over all being genuine.
This is my point EXACTLY. He’s fooling no one & being in the good graces of Clive Davis it’s extremely side eye suspect
They take 100 percent of your i.p upfront😂😂😂
@@tamikagordon904 I think so too.
You couldn’t have listened to him.. he said his company distribution tech, merch tech, pay software … like he talked in length about the things they provide from a tech standpoint
To whom it may concern. Do not be deceived. The foundation of the "music industry" is for artists to not own their IP. None of the artists mentioned own their music and thus the elephant in the room as everyone else makes money off of the music artist make but do not own. In case you didn't know there has always and will continue to be a war against INDEPENDENCE. Joe I presume knows this but of course politics as usual.
This is a huge interview and Joe face always show his thoughts, why I love this guy
Larry Jackson is a true successful businessman. He is so professional. He answers questions without trying to reveal too much or mention anyone without revealing anything
Umm you said Sexy Redd and don’t want to be corrosive for the culture. Sir pleases 😂😂😂
This man is very interesting. Anyone who is a top executive in this industry I do not trust but his background and come up is impressive. His (lack of) response to Joe's very important question about the same types of acts being pushed at the top by these companies, was extremely telling. I wonder what he couldn't say and what he has in on it. It's a shame he's a black man with his power and doesn't see a problem with the types of acts being displayed to represent us. This industry is much deeper and darker than we can imagine.
He's clearly Their man and Protège ! You summed it up perfectly ! 💜
Why are these music companies hiding behind the shield of being called a "tech" company to avoid paying artists royalties and publishing?
There is a clear agenda to those who can see fr
We know the answer. He has the first impression of being a nice guy but he has a sort of villain mastermind aura about him I could feel. Then Joe asked him that question that he straight up avoided and I got my answer.
They don’t want to pay the creatives
dude talked about how they're thinking beyond using AI to replicate voices and his first example is basically being able to create AI cover art and we're supposed to believe they value the creatives over getting as much of the pie as possible
@@Tremulantedyo, i swear to god i just commented on this a few seconds ago.
as a graphic designer trying to break into the entertainment industry, specifically music, i heard that and i looked at my tv like wtf?? so it's just fuck art directors, designers etc?
When he said more catalog then the 60s 70s and 80s he meant music period and he kept saying HITS.. Drake got more hits than the Beatles.. They are giving that man a bag
This interview is a code,iykyk
Yo, Larry is not fooling anyone. He answered Joe’s question with a question. This is comical
As a fellow Jersey n!99@ i respect Joe craft this interview is DIFFERENT 🔥
Bro looks like Ryan Leslie and Roc Marciano 😂
🤣 that’s who I thought he was
😂😂😂
Bro I died shoutout Roc 🔥
Kinda feels like one long commercial. Would love more human storytelling. There's some here, but yeah we get it, you have a music tech company to sell.
Most interviews have a sense of satiation after the questions asked are actually answered. This interview lacks that. No disrespect to this gentleman at all. He seems like he would be a great conversationalist too. He seems so knowledgeable that it would have been more beneficial if he wasn't speaking as an executive, but rather just from the perspective of a lover of music with a care for the art and artist. He was not speaking openly and it shows OR...
This critique is not meant to bash.
I want to say so much more, but I won't. ❤
@@jamesf2940 We are saying the same thing. I only see one small difference here, between you and I. We both hit the same conclusion but our feelings about that conclusion were different. "Feelings" is not the word that I would like to use here but it's the only word coming to mind. I was unsatisfied afterwards. You seem to have been able to have a more mature acceptance of the "what" and the "why". I hope this makes sense.
I can't put my finger on it but this interview is very weird, there's some tension here, not terrible but theres something holding this conversation from being a well flowing convo, i think this man is a businessman and Joe is asking him these questions being curious about certain things and he is responding like a salesman.
He only answers honestly to shareholders
Agreed.
“Do you like your water? Would you like any ice with that?” 😏
Larry danced around the question about Drakes investment in Gamma 😂 smh. He didn’t even answer the question at ALL 1:08:34
"Someone get Larry Jackson on the phone, Ima need ownership if we pressing go."
Much respect to Larry but he’s describing things like digital distribution and weekly/monthly payments as if it’s some kind of ground breaking new technology.
I think he's saying that the way they're setting it up for artist is that they will be able to access funds weekly, bi monthly, monthly. He's giving different options. Its makes sense though. So many of them get advances and end up in the negative. I think his model will pay them in increments, which is pure profit. A paycheck from their earnings. Maybe it will decrease the amount of artist who go broke.

Shadow to all my computer science graduates. When you dig deep enough, we really run things.
Things really started to make sense when he expressed his background with his parents. They stayed married and they’re both highly educated. That means something. And I really love the fact his dad was an engineer. That made his understanding of Saas and Paas and interest in the technological infrastructure of Apple. Sometimes things inherently become easier to understand when there’s some level of background.
I think we’re being Milli Vanilli(d) by 4 Batz, on stage (research) rarely says anything in live performance & when he does doesn’t sound anything like the track plyin. 💯
There’s definitely something there deeper than we can see.
4 batz might be A.I.
That's cause he records his vocals and slows them down with an effect much like PartyNextDoor who sounds like sh*t live too. In other words 4 bats would sound horrible without that effect on his voice
Joe this is you in your element. I love the music industry talk and wish you would do more niche episodes on industry specific information. Facts only. No speculation. Maybe a spin off of some sort that focuses only on industry dynamics and education for up and coming and current artist.
Larry isn't dancing around questions... He's only willing to talk about the artists GAMMA is doing business with... He's not there to criticize artists he's not directly connected to because he understands his influence and doesn't want to damage current or potential relationships... You heard him say "RELATIONSHIPS RUN DEEP"... Think about it...
When some starts off with “you want the truth” 😂😂
Something about this guy bothers me
I felt the same way just from the look, and it got worse the more he spoke tbh
lol 😂
He know his killing the music industry for AI
No eye contact says everything.
It amazes me that this is your takeaway and says more about yourselves and what the future holds for you. live your life…
larry jackson outsmarted him in the questions
where would we be without the jbp
Larry was sitting next to Snoop while he spoke against streaming royalty payouts while Larry sat silent as if he had no insight into how or why that is.. Don't let that go over your head...
Bro said the age of Aquarius and I immediately am connected he knows 😭 it’s the time of truth and love!!
Nothing but respect for Larry Jackson
Another Clive Davis guy........and they got him young. Pay attention
Pay very close attention!
Joe budden network . Yall did it again ..i truly enjoyed this LARRY JACKSON ( GAMMA ) I NTERVIEW. Keep them coming.. PEACE!!!!
This whole interview sounds like he had a set of answers he wanted to say and didn’t care what the questions would be. He didn’t answer a single question 😂
Damn Drake is more valuable than the 60's, 70's and 80's artists combined 1:05:40
No he's not not culturally but if you want to say numbers wise when it compares to if someone who's at the age of 13 to 25 they'll use Spotify Faithfully with tunes and man to the current in recent music whereas the 50 plus crowd not
He definitely confirmed that he has some kind of deal with Drake for Sexyy Red 😂😂😂 he’s great at avoiding Joe’s questions but just read between the lines
Word I feel like I got everything I needed to know from how he answered
dude seems like the real life Gustavo Fring from BB
This was master class in dodging questions. Outside of 1 or 2 things, Larry said a bunch of nothing lol
