I dont have the financial backing or experience to be my own label... although I do agree with you cuz u could always get a job for money and books for a wiser view
Tde and dreamville not being on here is a crime not only that they’ll let you own your masters but there roster is currently the most stack in the game rn
They don't deserve to be on there especially dreamville it seems like they are a really good label but they are just like OVO they use their bigger names wayyyyt more and out more energy into them stopping most releases for the smaller names
EL Dusty read Gucci autobiography he gave them 10k each to sign and he let them out the deal when he got locked up because he couldn’t really do a lot for them
w cactus jack it’s really travis and don making hits now sheck did have a song of the summer sofaygo been buzzin luxury tax, idek smokepurpl got dropped they just need more artists
Well, it's not perse that the contract is bad. Labels put a lot of money into an artist after they signed a contract. They just want their money back. When you sign a contract, you are basically borrowing money for your project and if it flops, you still gonna have to pay them back.
When it comes to entertainment, you must remember the formula is very important. Here is what you should discuss: mainstream (white people), independent (african), alternative (spanish), and circuit (asian). This will help you in your career.
YOU GOT THIS LINE UP TOTALLY WRONG WHY WOULD YOU PUT DEF JAM #1 WHEN THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A FREAKING CEO RIGHT NOW THE LABEL IS HURTING RIGHT NOW YOU Should’ve NAME INTERSCOPE RECORDS AND EPIC RECORDS AND DONT FORGET RCA RECORDS WHO OWNS 75% of Radio play with HIP-HOP & R&B 👍👍👍👍
why did iggy move away to empire? Why isn't Travis still signed to it? Why did QC give Migos the lawyer they use? Who is the lawyer going to defend when shot hits the fan? This is entertaining but let's talk contracts
QC just shot through the roof after the Migos.you just know a nigga is under QC by the amount of diamonds and chains with the cash influx.with their excellent marketing overall the QC GANG is the dream sign up for a new age TRAPSTAR 💎🥂👌🏾

Let me start with the clear miss; you've failed to include 300 Ent - from Snot to Meg to Young Thug to street rappers like Tee Grizz to small artists in development like Whiterosemoxie to YNW Melly; omitted because Migos, who've problems w every label, didn't understand their own deal? Because Rich The Kid followed the same?; if 10K Projects are listed purely because of Grainge, you're listing 300 for Lyor without mentioning their dominance (and good people in the building - small set-up, family-like). CMG aren't a record label. It's a collective which 'signs' Gotti's runners, right hands, etc. Why is Grand Hustle next. This is so misinformed. Why would Grand Hustle be considered hot today. They don't have a single artist out.....and the ones you listed, Travis, Iggy, saw no success with the label....why Gucci Mane's label...they have 1 priority-artist...I work with people at 10K Projects, why are they listed next....most of the roster didn't make it, and a lot of them just got cut...and they only push 2 artists of the roster...why is Def Jam there...they've been failing for so long that they just relaunched and rebranded themselves to work with UK artists. 300 Ent, Interscope & Columbia run rap..
Dreamville my wiiggaa... 🤣🤣 yu forgot the creative pool that is Dreamville. Omg QC and Gottis label gotta be the most impressive on this List Tho. Cactus Jack 🌵 do something....
There's not a good label to sign to unless u start your own label and do things yourself........It's 2 many Artists that's been getting Robbed for yrs by labels!!!!!!!!! Empire Record lol Most of there Artist are dead, 1017 most of there Artist are in Jail.........Quality Control don't give Artist all there money, They take more than they give.......
You guys are a hack and full of crap. Def Jam was #1 on your list of WORST labels to be signed to. You said that they used Frank Ocean as a songwriter to write songs for artists instead of promoting his projects. You also said before that Jeremih, Alsina, Big Sean and Kanye West have complained about them for not promoting their music and now in this video you're saying that noone has had drama with them. Get your facts right!!!!!!!!
Y’all can say what y’all want but as long as hip hop been alive ian gon believe erry artist had bad contracts feel like majority of “bad contracts” r from greed of money and they never seen the big picture the labels r doin they part givin u money so before u sign think about yo legacy cuz if u ina meetin wit labels that should tell u ur worth from that moment
aye dawg you didn’t have to do SoundCloud rappers like that either when you were talking about CMG, most popular rappers in the game right now built a foundation for themselves off SoundCloud so don’t make it sound like SoundCloud rappers gotta sign with a major label.
The best label to sign to…..” YOURSELF “
Say that again
Yeah
Songtradr thats fo sho
I dont have the financial backing or experience to be my own label... although I do agree with you cuz u could always get a job for money and books for a wiser view
Sadly, since labels run the game now, the highest an independent artist charted on billboard hot 100 was a 44 spot, then he signed quickly after that
Is not even about the label. Is about the type of contract artist sign if it's a good or bad contract
Thats true, some big artists might have some good deals in pretty cut throat labels
it be some labels like Alamo Records that do they artists dirty (smokepurpp, comethazine) they don't even promote their shit.
@@bowskee well actually , u have to pay to promote and , u get promotion and labels take some from profits

True
No they didn't. They were only affiliated with 1017.
EL Dusty read Gucci autobiography he gave them 10k each to sign and he let them out the deal when he got locked up because he couldn’t really do a lot for them
Quality Control is really moving foward with the sport thing.
Gotta read that contract. Gotta have leverage. Gotta bring something major to the table in order for the record label to give you what you want 💯

Right I thought he had it on there, it’s starting to make me question if he’s actually spitting facts 🤔
It's a sucky label

But didn’t you have Def Jam #1 on your worst labels to sign to video too
He just makin videos at this point 🤣
Idk about the others, but I'm pretty sure Empire gives u all the rights to ur masters
In reality the is no such thing as a good record label
