- This Is Why Record Labels Want Your Masters
Lame. 🤬
This clip pissed me off.
I wasn’t pissed at the system.
I’m not even pissed at the weak ass dude in the video.
I was pissed at how matter of factly he was speaking.
Like this shit is normal.
And ok.
Marketing someone else’s product and owning it in perpetuity without sharing the wealth with them is not ok.
Making someone pay for all of the expense to market their product while you collect all of the profits is not ok.
Keeping people in debt to you for 25 years when you’ve made $100,000,000 from a business venture that cost you $1m is not ok.
In no other realm of business would this be ok.
But in the music industry it is.
Because the music industry is fucked.
NO MORE.
No more signing over your masters.
Your masters generate so much revenue and they finance everything that these labels do.
Not just for you, but for other artists too.
Drake’s catalog is literally keeping the lights on a Universal.
Not just for him,
Or Cash Money.
Or Young Money.
For EVERYONE.
Drake deserves an equity stake in every artist’s earnings who have used revenue from his catalog to generate more revenue.
But since this is the music business, that would be preposterous.
IT’S OUR TIME.
I’m proving that with “True Support”.
1,000 Pre-Orders and I’m beating the shit out of signed artists on the charts.
We don’t need them.
Stop signing your life away.
Build your brand.
Feed your fans.
What do you think?
Do we need labels?
Should we sign over our masters?
I need real answers.
Not no clout chasing bullshit.
I wanna know

The solution is invest in yourself. Who invests the money owns the master. Be independent.

It's not that simple poor people are desperate
@@icemike1 these days, its simple since we have the internet. we have various ways to make money when it comes to art. many ppl out here selling their music digitally, on tapes, and on vinyl on bandcamp
@@lee_drifting are you
@@icemike1 what's stopping you? let's break it down rn! 🤜
This is why the record companies want talent so young. When you're young all you see is the advance money they give you. They don't know that an advance is actually a loan that they have to pay back. It's a deliberate scam.
Independent Artist th-cam.com/video/OVClix8fY2U/w-d-xo.html
Exactly.
Don't forget to payback with a BIG interest rate 💯
Wow! I never knew that..
They sign these dumb ass drugged up kids like Lil Xan. Make em popular. Wait til they die from the drugs THEIR INDUSTRY HANDLERS GIVE EM and then they just cash in on their deaths. Same thing happened to Kurt Cobain. We all know that man could not load no damn shotgun while he was too high to even move outta the damn recliner.
When Michael Jackson owned half of Sony Records he was grossing 250 million a year just off of that! Plus he had the Beatles & other publishings. No wonder they offed him. 😢😢
I don't think that figure is rt you heard what dude said a billion not million and you forgot to mention Michael had the Beatles catalog I'm hearing alot of different artists talk these days about their master's my advice is try different approach than Prince and Michael and Kanye please be careful bro if something happens to that brother I think it will be because he is demanding his masters back but hats off to Kanye for setting the example with his own artists
@@dredayb1207 I meant Michael was making at least 250 million a year off his 50% ownership in sony, that's not counting his own sales and his ownership of the Beatles, James Brown, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett & other catalogues, Michael & Prince did nothing wrong, they were killed for doing " Good Business "
@@abefinklestein711 can't argue with you there🎯🎯🎯
@@abefinklestein711 your comment is spot on and you need way more likes, people are sleep
And if I recall correctly, didn’t Michael Jackson give some of that money back to James Brown or one of the other artists you mentioned?
Masters = generational wealth
Prince eluded to this also...
I was just about to google the answer to masters. Lol Thank you!
It depends on if your music get played for generations if your music is just sitting there your masters don’t equate to generational wealth
Hollywood accounting. If the label get all the income and then distribute it to the artist the label cal screw the artist. The artist or band can never screw the label.
Will it happend?
Yeah but in the U.S. after 70 years after the original artists dies it becomes public domain meaning nobody can copyright it anymore
Michael owned 50% of assets in Sony. Fact check. No wonder he “died”.
Yup. And Sony bought it back from MJ's estate. Smh
@@shondacheesecake Yes they did!!!!
When he died his family owns the catalog. The Jackson family are experienced they didnt have to sell back to Sony. I agree the record labels suck but they didnt kill MJ, and killing him doesnt mean they get the catalog back.
And MJ didnt "own 50% of sony" Sony is a huge multi-national company that makes TVs, electronics of all kinds, and they have stakes in movies, TV shows, entertainment of all kinds. MJ didnt own 50% of shit.
@@tubester4567 You sound smart to someone dumb. He owned half of their MUSIC CATALOG. This is documented information that you can simply look up. 😂
@@tubester4567 I agree MJ didn't own %50 of Sony...however he owned a lot of artist material which put him as a high player in the industry. There is a mystery in his death and the estate owning thereafter. His case is no different than Prince. As soon as he died Warner Bros had access to what was not accessible before AND right Prince had a meeting with Warner Bros two days prior. So one can see how people come up with such ideas as the industry is killing these powerful artist...I'll even add that George Michaels only surviving sister died on the same exact as he did years later " supposedly" being his estate holder after his death. All three of these men challenged the majors in some form or fashion and died unexpectedly. Afterward each death something was gained by their demise.
When he pulled the Miles record out...not gonna lie...hurt my heart.

Yeah. My heart broke in that moment. I was hurt. Its like a rape of some kind. Go get yours independent artists!!!!!!!

At this point I wouldn't feel guilty about stealing anything, they don't.

Musicians only make 10-15% of record sale profit, and that's *after* the distribution costs are taken out. They abuse artists and encourage people like James Hetfield to make asses of themselves fighting to defend the 80-90% of revenue the label takes.
Fifty years ago, before a musician could buy a whole studio at Guitar Center for $2000, and release a single in seconds on YT or SoundCloud, there might have been an argument that labels contribute something of value. But now they're just a bunch of... well you called it!
This Is Why Record Labels Want Your Masters. Money, money, money. And that's the reason why those demons killed Prince, And Michael Jackson.
th-cam.com/video/OVClix8fY2U/w-d-xo.html
Prince didn’t pay his taxes lol
Ding ding ✊🏾respect
When you die, those rights transfer to your children or estate. So they weren't killed by people who wanted master rights SMH. Don't believe everything you read online.
The soul is creative, and expansive.. "Universal" 😳 They're harvesting. They've been in the GARDEN.
And probably use that same bread to fund their Epstien trips also.
No question.
Garlic bread? 🤔
Yooo comment of the day

A Billion?! Damn! That's why they were all over Michael Jackson. #RIP

Indeed!!!!! Mike was even getting PlayStation money 💰
Michael gave little Richard back his masters no charge at all.

Artists pay for studio-time, publishing, printing, promotion, sound engineer, photographer, music video ect. At the end, they don't own what they wrote and made.
Thas some real talk. I have been #indie for the longest. Ive had a few labels try and holla. As soon as they talked about keeping my masters, the convo was over.
Nothing more to discuss.

Remember what Q-Tip said... "Record company people are shady."
th-cam.com/video/OVClix8fY2U/w-d-xo.html
Prince was trying to teach a lot of people this same thing. I'm glad some people paid attention in class.
Michael Jackson became "WACKO JACKO" when he acquired the ATV Music Publishing Catalog. Lastly, let's be honest, these record labels did not put a gun to many of these black artist heads for their masters recordings. They willingly gave it to them. Many of these black artists doesn't look at dealing with these record labels as a business. Making sure that they can at least be able to reacquire their Masters and Publishing. A great example of this would be rapper Sir Mix A Lot and his biggest record Baby Got Back. Since he got back his masters and Publishing, he "EASILY" made over $200 million dollars off of Baby Got Back alone. Remember rapper Nicky Minaj remade Sir Mix A Lot's record named Anaconda
You think they don't trick them into using a label funded lawyer to look over contracts? You think those lawyers gonna look out for the artist or the label that's paying them? Most of them are scammed while thinking there being smart.. these labels had decades to perfect there deception!
@@kristafurdixon8121 : Many of these artists were lazy and shortsighted. They didn't ensure that these record labels weren't lying to them or try to slip clauses in the contract that overwhelmingly favors the record label. They didn't have lawyers and accountants of their own to watch over their affairs. Many artists gave away big records because they either wanted an upfront large payout or even they didn't think the record wouldn't do anything. A good example would be rapper Warren G. He's still trying to get the masters to his greatest record Regulate. Regulate is one of Rap Musics greatest song ever made. Def Jam EASILY made over $100 million dollars off the song. Their parent company Universal Records made far more. Don't let start with Rappers Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang. You want a great example of intellectual negligence and shortsightedness look no further.
th-cam.com/video/OVClix8fY2U/w-d-xo.html
Nicki didn't remake shit. She USED A SAMPLE from his song to make hers but the difference is his song was a hit while she tried to take samples from others hit records to try and score one for herself and yet she's still trying with nothing. She should've tried to be herself......
@@richardsalmon2134 : Interesting, I heard snippets of the record. I thought Nicki Minaj remade Baby Got Back like Britney Spears remade Bobby Brown's My Prerogative. Trash😫!! Thanks!!!🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍👍😁😁
You are teaching Brother-Man humanity how to creatively be wise at making, securing & perpetuating profit making music records, by reserving the right to own one's own Master recordings!

Sony was founded in 1946, that is 74 years ago, the number one money revenue source is games { Playstation } then music. Sony is a publicly-traded company that is worth 80 Billion dollars, there is no one person that has a controlling interest. If a global conglomerate agrees to sign you, again they are { investing } in your career. If they advance you xxxxx, and spent xxxxx to blow you up, the masters to that recording belongs to them unless in your contract it states that you have the rights to buy back that master recording in xxxx amount of years, or xxxx amount of dollars. In the streets, if the plug fronts you the work, do you own that work, do you own the cars, the jewelry, the homes, not until that plug is paid back, in fact, he will own that revenue stream until you find another plug. There are not too many multi-platinum recording artists that are known worldwide without the financing and huge promotion of a major label, they are the plug. Can you make millions without them { yes } but are you more concerned with being a star, or a working artist. This is the problem and the difference. Take an artist like Tech-9, been grinding independently for years, has a decent net-worth about 15 Million. He's good, he's not concerned with the glamour, the major publicity, the label rented mansions and Lamborghinis, are you ready to grind 24 hours-7 days a week to try to make it?. So to sum it up what is the value of your {ip }it is only worth what $$$$ it brings back to you and to your investors. The majors are an { F } machine, an assembly line, a bank, they invest, throw it against the wall, if it sticks, they put more $$$$ behind it, if not it has no value, they lost money for their shareholders.I've worked for many years for both, Majors & independent, majors suck, I'm an independent guy, but I respect the major's muscle and long-established roads they have created for independents to do their thing. So, make music, create your lane, make a living off of what you do, but understand, you don't wake up and say I'm going to slay the dragon, that creates the food from which I eat, without them, there is no Spotify, there is no, live nation, there are no concert venues to play live events, etc. Billion-dollar companies create billion-dollar opportunities, and the crumbs that fall off of those tables help you build your empire, it helps you fuel your other business interests, ask { Kanye, Jay-Z, Puffy, Dr.Dre } you don't have to join them, but you should understand how the games were created, being played, and will continue to grow, or die and re-invent it's-self as we currently know it.
Word!! I AGREE!!!
FACTS ×1000 U SIR HAVE COMPLETELY BROKE IT DOWN *** SALUTE
Well said
bounceenergydrink Scooter Braun is that you?
Such a terrible analogy to equate it to the streets AT ALL!!!!!
A plug in the street fronting you work, is nothing CLOSE to a label owning your masters.
Imagine after your business is done with your plug and yall sever ties.......you either go find a different plug OR you stacked and saved enough to start your own operation.....but you STILL have to pay your ORIGINAL plug xxxx dollars for every bag you sell for the rest of your life- even tho yall aint in bed together anymore. He gets to eat off you PERPETUALLY, even after youve made him his money back 10x over.....is that fair?!?!?
A label may put 3 million in to your first project- for an advance, budget, distribution, marketing, promotion, touring, etc......you drop an album and it goes platinum....youve already at least DOUBLED the money they put up for you in the first place. You get a couple of points and they keep majority of the revenue, residuals, royalties, etc. EVEN AFTER YOUR CONTRACT IS DONE, they still get to eat off of YOUR art for the rest of their lives.
And dont let it be a 360 deal because then, youre REALLY fucked

As much as I like the anger I always doubt it leads to actual questions about capitalism (hopefully I'm wrong).

It goes back further than that. All you have to do is watch a couple of episodes of Unsung to see that they’ve ALWAYS exploited black talent. And not just in music. Too bad we’re not the ones getting rich off of our natural abilities.

[True Story]
They almost got me back in the 80s.
I signed a contract (when I didn't know any better) which included granting the label MY publishing for $1.
That's right, one dollar.
I had an older uncle look over the contract. His only advice was, "you gotta get your foot in the door somehow".
I didn't realize he was hating on me bc he was a so-called musician back in his day and didn't get anywhere.
Well, in the end, I refused to record with them and just waited out my contract (4 years wasted).
FYI: Always get:
1) A an entertainment lawyer;
2) An accountant;
3) A business manager/agent
"Acquisition of new talent"
That line alone made me cringe...

Notice,the 2008 Sony fire,destroyed all the Masters of old black artist music that's not in play anymore after they have ate off those artist for year's.
*The main problem we artist face, is the fact that the major labels have the 'distribution-reach' and access to the promo machine, that we (and the small independents) just don't have. They also have the $$ to inject initially upfront to break the artist into the comme3r4cial mainstream.

When I see videos on this subject, I think of late great Sam Cooke.
Why is that?
Sam Cooke was one of the greatest soul singers ever who was murdered under very mysterious circumstances back in 1964. He owned his own masters which at that time was unheard of for a black artist. When he found our his manager illegally stole his rights he threatened to sue. A couple of days later he ended up dead in a cheap motel

Didn’t the king of pop owned a lot of sonys masters?
Yep and they had something to do with his death. Shortly after MJ's death Sony reacquired the publishing MJ owed. They paid 750 million for it but MJ most likely would have never sold if he never died. They were responsible for the repeated child molestation charges as well.

It's worse than they say. The extortion is blatant. They punished bands for going independent. The major labels colluded for years with music media and radio networks so that once a band had been signed by a major label, they can't go back, if they go independent they get buried no matter how big they were at the time.
In the 1970s, one of the biggest artists was Frank Zappa, he was so popular that the song 'Smoke On The Water' mentions him by name, millions and millions of records sold. But at a certain point he acquired his own masters and went independent, so you never hear his songs on 'classic rock' radio, music publications wouldn't mention his name, if a new artist cited him as an influence or mentioned touring with him they'd edit it out because they wanted to erase his name from the public memory. So we hear 'classic' artists today that didn't sell a tenth of what Zappa did, but barely hear a word about Zappa unless you look for it.
Then there was Janes Addiction. They were so huge, the first Lolapalooza was literally Jane's Addictions tour, they started it, their songs were everywhere from 1988-1992, they were a huge influence on every 'grunge' band in the 90s, but that influence was erased by music media for years, no airplay, no mention in the many 'best of the 90s' type articles.
So back then, if you were on a major label and you managed to acquire your masters, they would just bury you, you wouldn't make the same amount of money the label would have because the songs wouldn't get any airplay. No Matter how popular. We live in better times.

All my life I used to dream of signing with a major label & being happy. Today? FUNK THAT! Prince already showed us the way!
It's time we all band together & put the big record labels out of business!
Thing is bra the artist didn't have to sign the contract. Warren G had family members in the industry why would he agree to give them up?

Love the intro set-up.
Then you came in while I was cussing.
Facts!!!
I just wanted to let anyone who sees this know that a God loves them and that it’s not too late to give their lives to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior 🙏❤️✝️
it's crazy how we don't place enough blame on those that sell or give away their masters. It's a cycle that starts with the artists or songwriters. They must understand the process and procedure of this music business & if not, they will get the negative end of the deal just as all other deals. Educate yourself, people & remove your feelings.
I love this channel 👍🏾🇧🇸 🔥 entertaining
Appreciate you bro. You follow on IG too? @doriangroup82
That's why prince fought for artistic rights. And wrote slave on his face he was protesting against the record labels
Was ahead of the game.
