    Part 17: • Akon: Michael Jackson ...
    Part 19: • Akon on Why He Didn't ...
    Part 1: • Akon on Africa's Akon ...
    --------
    In this clip, Akon talked about being offered over $100 million for his music catalog and turning it down. This spun into a larger conversation about the pros and cons of selling publishing and why most artists should sell if given the opportunity. However, for writers and producers, Akon said it’s different as those people are more in the arena of producing content which could prove detrimental if publishing rights are given up.

    there's a difference between selling your publishing and hiring a publishing company. the company has better resources to get your song in movies, tv, games, commercials, etc than you probably do or you might just not even wanna fuck with it and just get your 80% cut.
    if you sell your publishing you get one lump sum payment up front. also if you sell your publishing you stop getting paid for radio play since that's paid on the written work of a song.

    • @HooodClassicsTV
      @HooodClassicsTV ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Facts. You can only get paid for performing the music, which is why some artists be performing till they late 70’s. The goal is to sit back and watch your music make money for generations forward.
      Future at almost 40 just sold his publishing, but he’s still in his prime, if he makes better music form now on going forward than he did previously it will be a great investment but if not, then he will be performing till late age.

    1) Buy and Build assets (stocks, real estate, businesses, music, intellectual property, life insurance)
    2) Borrow against your assets with low interest loans to get tax free money (like cash out refinance of your house)
    3) Use that money to enjoy life or buy more assets
    4) When you die in 20-50 years, your heirs will settle your debts with your assets. Assets that have appreciated, compounded, and grown over 20-50 years.
    5) Your heirs start their cycle of Buy, Borrow, ans Die to grow the family's wealth further.

    The reason the TH-camrs are getting more than artist is because the Musicians let the labels find other outlets of making money than the art. When we don't speak against cornball-ish, cornball-ish is what gets fed to te masses and the when masses says it's good, you don't need good quality music. But the TH-cam game is oversaturated, a lot of it is who pops, & who's still standing because a lot of Big TH-camrs fell off for something they did, or change in demeanor over time.

    Bruce sold his entire back catalog for 500 million! I just heard Akon say he believes his catalog is worth billions!
    sorry, maybe I am old, I am 47 and maybe I don't know about Akon,, but Is Akon bigger than the boss? sorry I don't know..maybe he is, I just dont know.
    I know Bruce packs outs ARENAS! GLOBALLY... does 3 hour shows and the guy has been doing this since the 70s! and he has countless albums and countless hits.
    his catalog was worth 500 million .. so AKON was already offered 100 million ( so thats 20% of bruces ) but Akon believes his is worth billions.. with an S..

    BING CROSBY - for all you who don't know..

    again, AKON is in that group? worldwide house hold name for 5 generations? hey, I don't know.. maybe he is,..
    PRINCE!!! the artist formally known as.. etc... you know PRINCE!!! yeah, that legend.. his estate was valued at somewhere between 100 - 300 million.. not sure what his rights finally sold for..
    but estaimates are close to 150.. and thats for only 50%!!! so PRINCE... party likes its 1999 and little red corvette.. you know that PRINCE!! yeah SUPER STAR.. 300 million...
    according to AKON, AKON is worth 5 times that of Prince... hey again.. I DON'T KNOW.. sorry.. please tell me ..

    maybe AKON is a super star but I just don't know.. but to be worth billions... would put him at Michael Jackons and the Beatles level!
    maybe he is that famous... I just missed it...

    @meanlean3095 ปีที่แล้ว

    He turned it down as it wasn’t worth more than $20 million & would never have got $100 million as soon as someone looked into it they would know he’s worth less than 50% of what he says he’s worth

    Vlad is developing a bad habit of talking over his guests, which I feel he didn't do much in the past. To the point where it sounds like he is screaming over them to make a point. He is also tying himself into a lot of these conversations. I feel like I hear him talking more about himself these days than the actual guest. That happens during a natural conversation, but in this interview format, it just feels strange. I don't dislike him or his interviews, so I'm not trying to be nasty, just a tiny observation/critique. Wish he would stop.

    That amount is an insult, besides, they would buy it and just remake (steal) it 20 years from now as if Akon never existed. Facts.
