jayzee is an Illuminati puppet, he's told us that and when he did he will realize he gained the world but just his soul. He should've been listening to what X was saying.
Exactly and I don't think it's fair to make another artist a President of the company and then you have Diddy who trying too compete with artists and when its a spot open of course your not going to put artist first at MTV but send them to the awards and have them perform at the lower streaming service.

People were sharing mp3s heavily all the way back in 1997, 2 years before Napster. The music industry knew about it but was late to respond. CD burners got cheaper in 1999-2000 and a lot more people became interested in the internet then. The industry spent too much time ignoring it, then fighting it, instead of embracing it.
Jin album ain't fail because of bad marketing. It didn't fail because of NAPSTER. It failed because it was garbage. Ruff Ryder music came with a feel, and Jin didn't have it.
DMX has always been my favorite rapper and I didn't care for rap but he changed that. I went to three of his shows. I met him a few years ago in S.C at a car wash and then a few days later he walked into a bar. Lucky girl. He was so nice and just seemed as if he needed a hug, he always seemed that way to me. Always prayed that he got back on his feet. Prayers up.
They played X. If they only respected him and gave him a share of the company. They would still be around. Thry tried to csst him asside but it didnt work
Lmao!!! I 100% agree with your comment. The reality is that Ruff Ryder's back then didn't know what to do with Jin...just like Dr. Dre didn't know what to do with Eve when he had her. Or it could be that Jin waswith the label at the wrong time because the label's focus was elsewhere instead of on Jin.
@@latoyagriffin1410 Yep....because Def Jam is historically a Hip Hop label then a Hip Hop/Hip Hop RnB label....LA Reid started his career with Jheri Curls...
Jin would have been successful however I don't believe he should of signed with the Ruff Ryders. I believe Aftermath would have been a better fit for Jin because Dr. Dre had already had major success with Eminem. Breaking a non-black rapper in hiphop at that time wasn't easy.
I disagree, Jin was a nice freestyler but he couldn’t write songs and he was not as close as talented as em was Jin would have been on the shelf at aftermath the same way eve was at first. And not only that Jin album dropped in 03 I believe and guess who the game on smash in 03? 50 cent! 50 killed the game that year and I get the whole Napster situation but keep it real wasn’t nobody buying Jin album cuz it was trash, ruff Ryders still legendary tho!
X alone made it possible for all of them to eat... RIP King, despite your struggles and battles I have no doubt, I know you made through those gates. LL DMX 💪🏾♥️❌
I didn't realise how many people were eating off of DMX and he never really complained about it. It's insane. Rough riders could not sustain itself without the DMX hits yet DMX had so little leverage. It's almost as if it benefited them that he was on drugs and disinterested in the business side of things most of the times. I think that there is a lot to come out about all of this. You can see that DMX feels a way about it but his loyalty won't let him air it out.
The artist usually feed the entire team . DMX was a giver . Big heart ... pure soul # save the street of hiphop and paid the way for many . In the flesh he didn’t get his flowers from the folks he really wanted them from . He saved many with his poems and prayers . DMX was here for a special purpose to spreed the word of GOD . This is why he was different & humble . Will give the shirt of him back . The realest ... no be can take his likes . 🙏🙏🌻
Say that again!! I honestly believe he was one of those artist that need to crawl so others could run. He was and still is dope even if he became a Christian rapper
Without ruff Ryders. It wouldn't be no X drag on the lox and Eve. Since we have them. We are blessed bc they were the best people listening to growing up. Thank you X drag on the lox and eve and waah. For making the ruff ryders. Salute!
Sad to see the highs and lows of X - he looked "skinny" on that reunion tour. Glad he seems healthy again. As for the lifestyle.. I remember back in 05-07 Ruff Ryders motorcycle club was HUGE. My buddy was in deep with them, and one time I was going to a meet up and these three guys tried to run up on me cuz they said I cut em off. They tried to get in my face and within minutes there were like 40 guys from the chapter surrounding them. These guys went from flexing to scared shitless in seconds. It was kinda funny. Road rage is dumb...

Real talk you had to be there I was a senior in HS in L.A. in '99 and DMX damn near was my junior and Senior years soundtrack...

I never realized that until I read your post. I didn't believe you so I did some research. You're absolutely correct, outside of platinum selling or artists who have been around for decades, there are very few who make a dime off the actual sales of the album. I always assumed that the royalties, which are between 10-20% on average, were pocketed by the artist. Hell, that's not even close to being true. Before you even start looking at the numbers you have to acknowledge that the 10-20 percentage isn't calculated based on the price a consumer paid for a record, but the price the label sold each unit for to the vendor, which is less than half of retail price. Once that amount is calculated, the label usually takes anywhere between 15-25% of the total royalties for packaging and shipping of the record. After that's taken, recoupable costs are taken. These often include promotional costs, production costs, video costs, payment to any backup musicians or backup singers used during production, money needed to shoot a music video, and quite a bit of tour and travel costs.
Here in Europe, there's a channel called Eurosport and they were airing the MotoGp that was having a grand prix in Austria. When the race was finished they showed a highlight reel of the weekend. Usually this highlight reel has a random song, but that weekend a near freak accident happened, it was a gritty weekend and when the highlight reel showed up, they were playing this track... The dirty version. We fuccin lost our minds and me my fam were jumping in the air sporadically with our hands in the air singing the chorus in tandem 😂 That's how legendary this song is.
Jin effed up by signing with Ruff Ryders because he was a natural to roll with the Rza and Wu Tang who wouldn’t have had any problem marketing Jin worldwide.
You hella right Wu Tang wouldve been perfect for him I can see him blending in with Meth , Ghost and Rae a track with him and Inspectah Deck wouldve been murder

I really enjoyed this series.
FYI artist never made money off of record sales unless your independent
Agreed
I never realized that until I read your post. I didn't believe you so I did some research. You're absolutely correct, outside of platinum selling or artists who have been around for decades, there are very few who make a dime off the actual sales of the album.
I always assumed that the royalties, which are between 10-20% on average, were pocketed by the artist. Hell, that's not even close to being true. Before you even start looking at the numbers you have to acknowledge that the 10-20 percentage isn't calculated based on the price a consumer paid for a record, but the price the label sold each unit for to the vendor, which is less than half of retail price. Once that amount is calculated, the label usually takes anywhere between 15-25% of the total royalties for packaging and shipping of the record. After that's taken, recoupable costs are taken. These often include promotional costs, production costs, video costs, payment to any backup musicians or backup singers used during production, money needed to shoot a music video, and quite a bit of tour and travel costs.
Jay Z played a lot of those ol' skool rappers not just X
JZ was insecure and cared about no one but himself.
@@Eastpointe as a Jay Z fan, that is so true. Jay z did not want to see DMX succeed anymore
DMX Was The Dennis Rodman Of RAP !!! ALWAYS ON HIS GAME !!!!
18:06 Man when that beat come on, you already know what it is!!!
Here in Europe, there's a channel called Eurosport and they were airing the MotoGp that was having a grand prix in Austria. When the race was finished they showed a highlight reel of the weekend. Usually this highlight reel has a random song, but that weekend a near freak accident happened, it was a gritty weekend and when the highlight reel showed up, they were playing this track... The dirty version. We fuccin lost our minds and me my fam were jumping in the air sporadically with our hands in the air singing the chorus in tandem 😂
That's how legendary this song is.
Plz name of the Song at 8.00 minute
This was a great documentary series by BET
Jin effed up by signing with Ruff Ryders because he was a natural to roll with the Rza and Wu Tang who wouldn’t have had any problem marketing Jin worldwide.
You hella right Wu Tang wouldve been perfect for him I can see him blending in with Meth , Ghost and Rae a track with him and Inspectah Deck wouldve been murder
Damn I didn't even think about Wu Tang. Now that would've been a perfect fit.
He gave birth to a nation of X babies we all over the world. DMX forever. 1.
The fact they used “Pretty Ricky” as a staple point for the change over is hilarious😆😆😆. That just came outta no where.
Right! 😂
Lmaooo
😂😂😂
Plz name of the Song at 8.00 minute plz

Waitin on Rocafella and Murder Inc Chronicals
I don’t think Jay-Z will let the rocafella chronicles happen.
@@Alwayslosingmoney I definitely agree with that
Jay ain't letting that happen at all
Rocafella wiuld b amazing
It won't happen as Jay Z doesn't need or want the TV time or publicity.
Music was never fading, people were sharing music and not paying for it in the traditional way🙄
D and Waa weren't very good at running a label, top artist like Dmx, Lox, Eve and Drag-on should have set you up for life
