@El Pollo Loco When you perform your raps/songs as a writer you can collect a mechanical royality every time your rap/song is played. As long as you send your composite to them. There is also a company called Tunecore that deals with online royalities.
We’re in different times and I like to believe, more informed. Business needs to be that & more Business ($). Battle Rappers should no longer be ignorant or feeble when it comes to paperwork, to ownership and royalties. Battle Rappers you & your Name is a BRAND. Don’t just take a battle to be seen and heard. Brand and Market yourself, research and execute your ownership to produce more money and more opportunities in your future
The leagues are the ones who own your battles, because when you sign a contract you also sign away you Intellectual Property in order for them to film your battles. IF You don't sign you IP, your battles won't be released.
But the leagues don't stop them from using the same bars elsewhere; Twork and Rex recycle all the time, when has a league tried to stop them from using those bars??

Alot of these battle rappers are super talented and intelligent people but with all due respect, this should all be settled business already. Whatever the contracts are, battlers should be getting publishing royalties everytime the performance is viewed on TH-cam or other medium and they should be able to monetize their work (retain the masters) after a certain amount of time. They gotta settle this stuff across the board for every battler. They are being taken advantage of.
I been saying for 10 years battle rappers need to form a union an get some lawyers... Some of y'all been battling 10-15 years after it's all done alot of y'all won't have anything to show for it. After I'm done working 20 years I get retirement 401k something plus social security. After 20 years of battling what are you getting?? These leagues have made millions off of y'all I'm sure an y'all get a 1x payment then it's over and you can't reuse your material but they can keep making money off of your battle smh.
Well technically, your 401k is the money you saved. They just dress it to look like benefits. If the Battle rappers can save percentages and invest, they can actually have advantages. A union is definitely an idea to follow.
@@floggyWM1 This could be said for all forms of musical expression on planet Earth. Professionalism is determined by business practice. They are already being paid . Obviously, many want more than just recognition.
Dude in some cases these battlers have 8 Months in between battles to prepare . Write your damn bars in a month, take the rest of the time to copyright your material. Then after smack airs the footage you hit everyone with a cease and desist. They have to pay you ,or pull the footage down .
i clicked this out of love for math's movement, and general interest in the topic...but then i seen ms.fit and i immediately remembered why i stopped watching the show. peace.
Yeah but once you sign that contract and you say you take a lump sum of money them bargain not yours anymore now you take less and say you want war teeth every time that's played then you get money every time it's played

This whole episode was hitting for sure! A definite eye opener, worth the re-watch!
All battle rappers need to join either BMI or ASCAP who collect mechanical royalties on behalf of the the composer(writer of the lyrics)

This kind of talk scares league owners. Math needs to stay on his p's and q's.
Tech is on point.

AVOCADO OWNS IT ALLL!!!!!!
FACTS THE CAMERA MAN OWNS EVERYTHING, AVOCADO SD IT ON RUIN YOUR DAY
Wrong... he is work for hire. .. he legally can not do what he wants with footage. It is the sole intellectual property of the league.

Why can’t battle rappers claim royalty’s ???ive always asked myself that ?
A rap battle proformance is more like stand up comedy or professional wrestling than it is music, or acting.
ASCAP and BMI is a battlerappers best friend... Niggaz should have been knew that! Listen to the Trees word 🤴🏿
Oh shit they back
Legend!!!!
Is the show over?... quarantine is over now!... battles happening again and everything.
Yo Shortie can get it.......dope content by the way

You early playa playa 🔥

I can guarantee the league has something in the contract to prevent that. Like Math said, it depends on your contract
Jonathan Webb
Possibly . If smack has a lawyer , the independent contracted battler needs a lawyer . Don’t agree ??? Don’t sign . That simple .
Math is that the reason they tried to throw rape at you cuz u exposed the fact that avo owns the url?
🔥🔥🔥
They getting over on yall

Yeah, Quaqmire is annoying.
So battle rap ain't hiphop 🤷🤷
Y’all don’t put no fucking money in the business you get paid up front before you even rap, how df y’all want a percentage
Dope dialogue!
Facz
Battles don’t get replayed like music so royalties wouldn’t really be a factor.
I disagree I run back lot of the battles.
That is not true. Battles on TH-cam have millions of views. I find it hard to believe that the leagues are not monetizing those views.
All the battlers on this show ain’t worth royalties or percentages
Yeah but once you sign that contract and you say you take a lump sum of money them bargain not yours anymore now you take less and say you want war teeth every time that's played then you get money every time it's played
Since y’all talking ownership y’all broke ass try to make y’all own league see how good it pays off
