Man, it's so cool to hear Snoop legitimately talk business.
That’s why I had to make a short of this. Snoop is an amazing OG, so it’s cool to hear his perspective on running in the music business
He's a businessman. Not to mention his friend Tupac studied Marx and Stalin economic theory
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 I didn’t know he did that
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 except Marxist Economics ain't real lmao
He's good
For the record. Micheal made 131 million while the record label made 4 billion off of Thriller
Are you serious?
@@PopCapitalist Yep
Wtf 🤯🤯😶🌫️
With a B fuck 🤯🤯🤯
That's crazy 💀💀💀 What's soo good about singing, dancing and performing for millions of ppl, if u aren't even getting paid ur worth?
That’s why Michael Jackson bought half of Sony Music. He became the record company 😄 what a Smooth Criminal 🤭😄👑
He didn’t buy half of Sony, he merged his publishing company w/ Sony’s publishing company. But you’re right bout him being a smooth criminal lol savvy business move
@@jeremiahrobinson3745 that is the very definition of buying half of Sony. With the merger he now owned half of their catalog and they owned half of his catalog as their companies became a single corporation known as Sony-ATV, which started buying other major catalogs like Famous Music and EMI.
And they also killed him
This, snoop isn’t telling a lot of the story. Jackson owned a ton of all of Sony records and was making money off of every album they released.
That's the Reason for His Death !!!
Prince has been telling us about this long before he passed on.
Reason they were both silenced. Don't believe they died just like that.
@@suerte03211978kanye speaked the truth that time he could have been another prince by the way he's speaking right now.
same thing happened to teena marie...they take the real talent and put them in contracts and then keep them from recording because they set the bar too high...
@@suerte03211978 kanye doesn’t want that also, when he said. stuff about prince and Michael jackson I think he’s speaking on some stuff we don’t know in the industry. maybe thats why he won’t take it anyways cuz it would be prince and michael all over again.
I mean, they fronted the money while these people were nothing. Record labels invest money into artists that end up going nowhere all the time. If they can’t get a decent return, why would they invest? It’s not a charity.
Taylor Swift knows her shit
Yes she does
No he doesn't 😂
And still manages to write the lamest songs. 😅
She's also the only one not caught up in that cryptocurrency lawsuit even though they offered her $100m to promote it.
@@andrewwitham8493I'm not a Taylor fan but you're just hating. Like, her knowing her shit and u liking her music are two separate things but u can't help urself
Prince knew that shit.
He was trying to tell em , and look what happened to him .
Own your masters then the masters wanna kill you.. dam shame.
most of prince music sounds bad and dated
@@travishylton6976Maybe you need to get a better sound system, and then listen to it!!!🙄
I've seen Prince, Michael, and T-Pain all talking about how manipulative the industry is.
Fr he was tryna warn everyone back in the day
That’s why singers are always touring. They have to. They owe the label because they are owned by the label. Even the old school A-Listers like The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and Patti LaBelle. They are worth $300 million and still touring, and they’re damn near 80 years old.
The stones tour because they want to. I don’t feel sorry for millionaires. Football players only make a small percentage of the revenue as well but they wouldn’t have a platform if it wasn’t for the owners etc. same as the labels.
Many tour in their later years because of the high costs their lavish lifestyles produce. They go continually to the finest restaurants, the best hotels in town, travel in private jets, buy expensive designer clothes, all kind of other luxury items. And you want this to go on for the rest of your life and it costs millions of $. Sure, than work until you drop.
Snoop kept it 💯. Taylor is smart for remastering her album. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Remastering?? Explain please.
@@thecelestialauntie id like a explanation on that too cuz it would matter if you remastered it right they still own the rights to that music
@@VilaToro64 i know it’s late to be responding but because she write the songs she owns the lyrics, the label just owns the specific recording of her voice. So she can use her lyrics to re record every song and technically with the deal she has with her new label, she owns it 100% now (lyrics and the recording)
@@bradyperkins4882 damn that smart I wonder why other singers don't follow suit the ones that can will let you know they are ghost writers
@@bradyperkins4882That's fucking brilliant. Good on her.
Prince spoke about this in the 80's and he got a shit load of flack for it. He said artists were getting robbed
He got a shit load of flack because he was exposing that artists were getting robbed to the public. Snoop and everyone else are just continuing Prince's legacy of making sure people know the truth and how to properly position themselves if they're joining the music game.
That's why they ended him.
The 90’s to be exact, 88 or 89, is when he most likely figured out the industry was bs. He started marking the word Slave on his cheek between 93-94, and officially left Warner Bros 95.
I cant say robbed if its in the contract. But they are being expolited in some cases.
They issue i see with alot of rappers some only rap, no beats, no maketing, no deals, no merch, not setting up tours, no mixing, or soundtrack placing. Some probably don't even upload.
Its hard to say artist sould get more when some just sing or rap on a track, but never actually get the songs to generate money. If the product is a song they are [low] 10->50% [high] the labor of it. And 0% of the sells and market labor
Flack from who gtfoh
The labels also dictate to the artist what they will and will not do. That is why PINK left and wrote a song about it.
That’s why they’re pretty much slaves
Yeah, Pink doesn't wanna be a stupid girl
@@PopCapitalist youre joking right?
But he doesn't know shit about it
@PopCapitalist best payed slaves in history. Why don't you send snoop some money if you think he needs more. You're a fool
never sign a contract be an independent artist and keep it all.

@Pi_r8 this is not about naming the lucky few who got recognised and hit the sweet spot or have ventured into music with some significant financial backing. I'm a musician and the times I had to decide between a toilet roll and a pack of pasta in first 10 years would make one just end it all.. or sign ANY contract that would be coming my way for that matter.. all your name dropping is gibberish to me, you've never walked the walk so your and OP commenter's idealistic approach is a wishful thinking at the most diplomatic way saying it
💯% or sign up to sell your soul, they’ll own you for life! You’ll either be Micheal Jackson’d or tour till you are dead like Mic Jaggar Roger water’s etc etc. Imagine being owned by Babylon
Even Michael Jackson is having remastered albums. The idea of the Remastered albums came back way before. ❤
No body is saying it didnt, snoops just using taylor swift as a example, not because shes only example but most likely because shes 1 of the most well known popstars in the world.
She re-recorded whole albums, it’s not a remaster
@@jukii.mp3 Exactly, Snoop is correct about the general points, but made a mess of the Tay point. She wanted to buy those masters, and due to 'less than savoury' exec's, she re-recorded them instead.
That she had Songwriter Copyright was what allowed her to, being different to Publishing Copyright.
“It’s called royalties and shit.”
Genius advice.
That's how deep it goes in the business
They'll be other complicated terminology that you've never even heard of just to confuse you
Everyone crying over here but Michael Jackson did the exact same thing to artists. Look at the howie interview where Michael told his friend and one of the biggest artists that its just business. I get that blxks aren’t the most intelligent or very business smart except for slinging rocks, but come on.
@@malcomx1924 ?
@@nepsessu258 LMAO, and this nigga got Malcom X as his YT name. He off a perc.
Michael Jackson was $200 million in debt which is why he was trying to do such a long tour when he passed away
But thankfully because he had ownership in all the other bits of publishing his estate made over $2 billion after his death. His estate makes over $368 million a year
That's impossible very big artist like mj have much debt right? That is prove what snoop say
@@radioactive2163How would it be impossible ?
He was in debt not only because of the label he also was an extravagant money spender
He owned 51% of Sony didn't he?
Taylor learned from Frank Zappa, who said, "KEEP YOUR PUBLISHING, KEEP THE RECORD COMPANIES AT ARM'S LENGTH."
Uncle snoop dropping some gifts of knowledge.
Snoop got a point. That's why Michael went into acquiring published songs like the Beatles Catalog.
Yup, and snoop is getting in that game now. That’s why he brought Death Row Records
And Eminem's catalogue at one point
He did that because these people were talking how he was a child abuser
@@PopCapitalist Exactly!
Michael made $1.5 Billion off of other’s people’s music
Anytime a song says “Taylor’s Version”, that is her remaster that she gets money from
I mean, her record label will still take money from that, but she does get a big chunk of it because she owns her masters
Taylor’s Version is not a remaster, it’s an entirely new recording from scratch. She owns the songs outright (i.e. the musical notes and lyrics), but they own literally any sound recorded by their equipment as well as all the artwork made for the originals. They’d still own a remix/remaster/re-release which is why she had to completely re-recorded everything from scratch, including new album art. It’s an insane amount of work, but a genius long-run strategy.
@@doesntdoitokNot quite. Labels own the masters, but the artists owns the songs. Her brilliant decision to completely re-record every last note from scratch with her own money means the label doesn’t get a dime. It cost her tens of millions to do that, but she can afford it.
Thanks, I’m gonna avoid this version from now on
@@mcenter94 Nobody cares.
TLC explained it best. 3 cents a copy and that was split 3 ways.
“She’s quite new”

Prince called out the music business in the 90-ies. 💜💜💜💜❤️
That's why they had to get rid of him right?
@@PopCapitalist Sadly true. I saw a video with the body cams on. There were no vomit in the elevator or the hallway where they placed his body. The amount of fentanyl - both in his liver and stomach content - would have made anyone vomit or at last foaming around the mouth. His face looked like he was sleeping (but with a greyish tint) and that's not how an OD looks. suspish!
Prince, said it Lawyers and Accountant running the labels....
He just said the label wasn't the bad guy, and explained why they ARE the bad guy. . .
Lmao even I didn’t catch that 😂
Well what he is actually saying is that the label, today, is a derivative of the system created years ago. His point is to say that the label didn't just start behaving this way. It's been this way.
@@Truedoogie yeah and it made more sense when the label was acting that way years ago. But tech changed everything
Because he owns a label
No, he just said its a system then explained what the system was. Its easy to see them as the bad guy when you have a full understanding of whats really going on, yet every artist buys into the same system at some point. He didn't really give opinions, just facts. The issue is that the facts paint a terrible picture, but it is what it is.
Miley Cyrus is another example, Disney was not going to let her go so she created a fake character doing some weird shyt during grammies and rapping about drugs and doing sexual shyt. And those were the number one rule Disney does not tolerate. And now she is free and back to herself with some really good music. She is a very smart woman.
You know I didn’t consider that the reason she did all that
@@PopCapitalist yup she was very smart about it.
She was always free , billy ray cyrus was a genius. Disney had rights to Hanna Montana not Miley Cyrus technically.
She either smart or sold her soul lol
And now she is back to singing country music. I knew she did that for a reason.
This is why MJ bought the publishing to A LOT of artists (yes the Beatles too) but he did give many of those artists their royalties back too.
@siamsa69 That's why it was great it was MJ that brought the publishing. That's what happens when an artist is involved in the transaction for buying rights, they treat other artists with respect because they were artists.
@@PopCapitalistbut not diddy. He was a bad artist and a worse label boss.
Being signed to a label seems like taking out student loans. They are loaning you the money to make you a star. You have to pay them back through touring concerts albums etc. The goal should not be to stay with a record company forever (ie taking out student loans forever) but to become a household name, pay them back by completing the terms of the contract, then use your star power and the few coins you made to have your own businesses and manage your own affairs.
Well said , that’s the business see before the general public, we only see the finish product, we were deceive just as much as the artist are now we get see how everything thing work it’s a system they have people who write the song produce choreograph the dances that the artist do , it’s a team of people but we only see the artist , but mows that’s has changed what’s been done in the dark has come to light , they want you to be famous , because if your a hit then they making money , the artist is the work horse ,
People need a legend like snoop to tell them that big corporations are bad until they open their ears
Artists have been doing this for years. OutKast who had the highest selling rap album ever called out labels back in 1996, GZA from Wu tang one of the biggest groups in history also did. And imo all of those 3 are bigger legends than snoop
Some people need a familiar face to tell them something. It's just like taking the word over an old friend over a stranger. Celebrities in the mind of the average person occupy that same kind of familiar space.
@@PopCapitalist well said
Snoop don't know chit...look up Michael Jackson Fr... Look at interviews wit ppl who were really friends wit Michael who knew the truth...
The artists should make their own label company.
That’s what they should do
So true
That's when the established labels go to the radios and streaming services and have those artists blackballed. There's a reason why the system hasn't been changed. The ones with all the power won't allow it.
Many have left big labels to pursue their own label.
@@Nellosphere you can do it when you have money. When you dont however its hard to come up with the money needed to launch a career. Historically labels took a bigger cut because they fronted up the cash and took on all the financial risk of launching an artists career.
Prince, James Brown and Michael Jackson all talked about this years ago. This isn't new information!
Since Elvis Presley and Beatles Era already have the same situation.
Even the Beatles were also shocked by it too, way before Michael bought the Beatles
They all all made so much more money than litterally people in other professions. They all had these mansions and cars and what not, while others make 5 figures a year.
Snoop not afraid to bring the truth 😊
MJ said this year's ago...
Been saying since the 1970s
Mj said it on stage 20 years ago in a speech
It's on TH-cam
That's why Mike bought 100s of artists catalog.
But Michael was the first to force the record companies to give the highest percentage per record/album! He broke down/through many barriers before the industry thieves got together to destroy him! His legacy should be studied in colleges as business models/principles 😊
You’re right it should be studied
He really should be studied, he deserves a lot more credit
He's so underrated by today's generation and so unfairly hated, especially because of greedy media, tabloids, filthy press, and also two cock-liars, and they're not only ones, who's tried and still trying to make money by falsely accusing Michael Jackson's name. I hope that when biopic movie will be released, this circus will end and the name of the King of Pop will be restored again in the eyes of those who believed the lies and rumors.
#mjinnocent #mjnotguilty #mjwasframed #mjisnotguilty
Michael gives little Richard is masters from free. Little Richard said it himself.
Michael was also the guy that bought a lot of music of artist without them knowing. He bought the Beatles catalogue from a shit recordlable for example and sold their music to be used in commercials. Paul (the artist and thus owner in your logic) called him up - Michael had contacted Paul to make a song with him few years earlier - if he could please stop selling songs like “revolution” to companies like Nike😂. You know how Michael replied? “Oh that’s just business”…. I hate to break it to you, but Michael was buying artists songs at the highest highest level. He’s became thieve you are talking about.
Not sure about now, but pre-streaming the standard cut for an artist to get from album sales was 8%. That’s it. When Led Zeppelin negotiated 12% back in the 70’s the whole industry had its mind blown. And today, almost nobody knows that the big record labels own Spotify (as in, they pooled their money and literally bought it a decade ago very quietly), so artists don’t get paid from that either. That’s why buying tickets to see your favorite band is so important. That’s how they earn.
Wow! Those shits boutgh Spotify?
And this is why performers absolutely have to go on tour...I think I heard once that only the top 4 songs on the charts might make any "real money" from sales (at least back when record stores were alive)
yeah the performers makes their money off of touring and when they get real big getting endorsements to fund the tour.
So how do performers make money off concert tour if they have to first pay royalties fees to perform the songs?
@@beaconlight4720 The royalties come from the album and radio back then not the live show. The concert money is the artists money
@@zw3565 Michael hated touring...
They go on tour to substain lavish lifesyle that costs millions of $ every year. These people just can‘t settle at $100k/year life so they are slaves of their own greed.
This is so true. Every artist is saying the same thing.
Yeah and you believe it that's the amazing thing
@@donno6711ok
@@ms.ladietoyou8672 so u agree great
@@donno6711nope
TLC explained this as well
No one understood clearly what they and prince were saying.
For any artist who doesn't get it: if you sign a 360 deal of $2Mil and the label wants 3 albums, You've literally sold them 3 non existent LPs for $666K Each. Why the fuck would they let you OWN that or let run off without fullfiling the deal?
666 damn
Man this ain't the first time I've heard this, a lot of these record labels take advantage of their artists and don't pay them what they're worth, TLC was a prime example of this.
The vast majority of profits should go to the artists who make the music. The recording industry should be paid a fair share for their service, and that's it.
No, the artist gets a PERCENTAGE of the PROFITS. Artists are owned by their label, you wouldn't (normally) give something you own the bigger share. That doesn't make financial sense.
@@samaramorgan8023 I'm saying how it should be, not how it is.
this is why you should stay independent.
No. It may seem like that should be the case but the hardest part in that industry is distribution and marketing. There are TONS of great independent artists rn in YT and Spotify but you don't see them breaking through and making big $$$ getting radio play. Do you ever wonder why? Lol. It's not the label's fault that these artists signed bad contracts. If it's a bad deal that you "feel like a slave", which is an absurd statement, then don't sign or live an ultra lavish lifestyle spending all that money. Re-invest in yourself until you can pay for your own studio, distribution, etc. and own your Masters.
The music business is the ONLY market where you can get away with this BS. They actually have the power if they stood together to make a change but everyone is too worried about their own bag to pull it off.
**proceeds to buy a record label** 😭
I mean y not make all that money
hate the game not the player
He's a business man. 👍
He bought not only the record label he started with but also the rights to all his music so he can make money off his music streams and all that

Kanye tried to tell people about this...
And they tried to end his carreer 😢
@@batako7234 i like kanye but i cant keep defending him bro like he is hurting his career more than anyone else at this point. he cant learn to shut his mouth about controversial opinions like nazicism which is killing his brand deals
Snoop is absolutely right that this is how the industry is set up. The artist doesn't make any money off of their first record deal, and that's because they're willing to make that compromise, at the time, in order to try and make it big. Or, they just get geeked about signing the record deal and don't read the contract at all. The company gives them a bonus, they spend all the money because it's more than they've ever seen in their lives, and suddenly they're fighting with the record company for a better deal when everything takes off.
This was why Taylor Swift tours so much, even after she did the remasters--because concerts and merch sales are where the artists tend to actually make most of their money.
Censoring snoop doggs casual swearing should be a crime.
I mean TH-cam is cracking down on cursing. We'll be switch things up though with the censorship sounds
TLC said the same thing even Prince too, Nipsey said it
All three of them knew what's up
The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. Moreover he always wrote teachable music. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace'''🇧🇩🎵🎧🇧🇩
Master P taught Snoop Dogg WELL!✊🏾🔥
Yes Master P most definitely did teach him well.
Knowledge is key here. You can record and mix your own for next to nothing these days.
You can release your own album to all platforms for about 25 dollars a year.
You can pay for professional ad campaign creators for like 300.
Learn how to do things at a young age so by the time you hit 30 you don't need to rely on this massive system (with 100s of employees to pay)
Ayyyye, someone knows the knowledge! Yeah this is why I like artists like Russ who freely share the blueprint of how they do it like this
@@PopCapitalist Russ who? Im genuinely interested to know
@@amzidoeseverything Russ is another independent artist who's extremely transparent about how much he makes as an independent artist.

Probably one of my favorite independent artist case studies
@@PopCapitalist one of my favorites rn!
@@PopCapitalist is he on Instagram or TH-cam with this info? I just made a single and would love to know more.
Michael made 1 dollar per album sold which is why he went to court to get 2 dollars. The record company still made 8 dollars. Basically, the record companies take 90% every time an album is sold, even today.
They take 90% unless you know how to get leverage for better negotiation terms.
@@PopCapitalist they all have the same contracts. Record labels move like a cartel.

Michael Jackson was Business Savy and knew alot about the business at a very young age Mike had game and he outsmarted the industry and the labels him and Prince made historic moves.

Steven Tyler talked about this on his interview with Joe Rogan about record labels
That’s why you make your own record label. Don’t let them take the profit
And once you take on the cost of what it takes to sustain a so-called "popular/hit" artist, you'll finally see it from the side of the shareholders when you have to pay for all those expenses most of the artists never tell you were spent on them in the first place.

That's why big labels sign very young artists. New to the game..easily led. They don't figure out they are getting less til they are older.

The facts, Tay Tay being smart about her finances.
All these aspiring artists need to take a course on music finance so when a contract comes their way, they understand what they were offered and what they can ask the label.
Yup you're right. Then we wouldn't have these issues
Thats why Prince handled his business the way he did.
U know this man................

Michael was the highest paid per album sold in the 80’s-90’s he was making I believe close to $4 per album which was never heard of before in the 80’s .

Snoop is so smart man
That’s why artists immediately need a lawyer and if they’re not getting paid, bring up the word audit to the label. That’s their safe word.
artist signed a contract
Labels will always find a way to make more off of the artist one way or the other
When Snoop lays out the truth like this, I can't help but stan him.
Same for us
Michael was buying everyone else’s music production and catalogs😂😂😂😂😂

Yet people still sign these contracts even after being told you'll be f***** over. Truly the devils game.
Some people are desperate or simply don't know any better
it’s not their fault entirely, the music business can prey on some talented people that are financially vulnerable.
I’m actually looking into selling merchandise on my website, but the link to the manufacturer who makes the products will be taking half of my earnings. It’s a marketplace business where you use their platform or website, also to sell your products but, instead of selling in bulk, the customer pays for the product individually, and it’s made to order. It’s easier than spending a bunch of money on inventory but, this is just a jumpstart to selling. They include shipping costs and send it directly to the buyer of the items. The entertainment industry is the same way. The entities who own the property aka ‘artists’ - make the money from the creation. Disney is known for this also. They own all of the artists’ rights and work.
Finally Snoop Dogg speaking the Truth for once
"Industry rule number 4080, record company people are shady."
-- Q-Tip 1991
Should actually be rule number 1
A lot of it comes back to signing contacts without understanding what you’re agreeing to
This is why most Artist goes to be a Independent Artist than to get Signed by a Record label and I don't blame them
yup! most people don’t read contracts
This is another reason for us to come together and dismantle the systemic practices that have been built into this industry in order to take from us. Snoop said what I have said all my adult life and that is, no one should be making more than the Artist… no one! This is why I chose to be educated in the “MUSIC BUSINESS”. I always wanted to help older and newer artist fight for change in the industry, which is why I have always admired Michael J., Prince, and Teena Maria! Those three did their part and stood up to the inequities of the Music Business. And hearing that Taylor Swift remastered her music, I totally respect that too! I’m interested now in how AI is going to hit this industry in the 21st century. It’s time to start thinking more about business in the music.🎶 Fact!
For him being so down on Prince at one time, he sure is picking up the mantle. But even then, Prince wasn't the first one, he was just the first one to put a spotlight on it.
Even FedEx doesn't own the products that they ship
With mj.. he actually was gonna buy out sony.. he even said it with all of his music rights cuz he already earned it at the time. But they didn't give the man his roses here on earth... they instead took him outta here..... sadly.
Rip🐐🕊🎶
Definitely sad. Who do you think will replace MJ as that figure buying up music rights?
@@PopCapitalist Kanye frfr
@@CarlSweet12 Actually that's a good one. Kanye would definitely be someone I'd expect to do that
@@PopCapitalisthell no 😂
@@Areuthium Just because Kanye is a bit crazy doesn't mean it's not possible. People who've made it to billionaire status can quickly make it back up there again because they've already proven that they can do it
Prince explained this same thing using Mariah Carey as an example. It's so messed up
Prince had been talking about it his entire career. He even tried to change things from within as a VP of Warner Bros. but when he saw how the game was played from up top, he quit the studio and tried to go independent.
That is the old math. MJ owned the publishing for Eminem, Cher, Bob Dylan, some Elvis, owned Graceland, the Beatles and all of the original Jackson 5, his solo work and all unreleased works of both J5 and himself just to name a few totaling somewhere around half a Billion dollars. Forbes called it the largest catalog in history owned by any single artist. To say MJ ain’t made no money is loose talk. Thriller was certified Platinum 34x - highest selling original album of all time.
Compared to what the labels made off Thriller he made nothing. He negotiated to get his masters back after Thriller
@@PopCapitalist the label is almost always different, I see your point.
According to Forbes, [MJ at age 24/25] "What is clear is that the release of “Thriller” kicked off a period of massive earnings for Jackson, with Forbes reporting that the “King of Pop” pulled in $134 million (from album sales, touring and other sources) in just the two years following the album's release Nov 30, 2018".
Remember people were still buying videos back then so to promote that, "Utilizing his leverage, Jackson got MTV to pay $250,000 for exclusive rights to show the documentary on cable. On top of that, Showtime put up $300,000 for the pay-channel rights." - Board Room
Rap artists were not working deals like this yet and were not exposed to the inner workings yet.
What I think is going on here is you’re a Michael Jackson fan that knows nothing about business that involves the music industry you’re just taken it as mj is broke lemme break it down to you mj should have a whole lot more and as far as owning publishing’s to Eminem etc that’s just stocks and bonds the record company’s own that he was 200 million dollars in debt before he passed away Michael Jackson is with trillions on paper but as far as how much he had on him and in his bank was thousands all athletes actors and entertainers don’t have the money you think they have mj didn’t own anything the Jewish record companies owned all that
@@Honeybeez5535In other word young MJ was a veteran when it came to deals. He knew his worth and can’t be compared to any other artist’s deal, his deal was probably one of a kind so does not compare
Yeah....but...the white man made the thriller money................
If they want to make all the money, they need to do and pay for everything: Make your own record label; make your own contracts; distribute, advertise, produce, write, compose your music.
That's what the smart independent artists do.
A universal record label will get you farther. What's ideal for me is having leverage so they don't get to say you have no face or name, so before approaching a record label you ought to have grown to an extent else they'll finesse you for sure
Artist have been making the real money from concerts. It has always worked like that. The label won't make you famous for nothing, they'll take their cut. That's why most artist are on the top for over 5-6 yesrs because they leave the label as soon as their contract ends. They'll make more money but they won't have the structure that makes them sound everywhere
mike. has been talking about this for a long time, its good to see other artists bringing this up
Everything I hear about T.S. gives me goosebumps. He's the Michael Jordan of music. It's mindblowing how this teenybopper from the late-2000s got to the top by owning the whole game.
who is T.S?
I really like Snoop's personality, he's got swagger and he's 4 real.
Honestly I love Snoop I don’t listen to his music or anything but I just love him as a person. He seems like he would be mean but he’s actually super sweet and smart! 💗
Love Snoop, he always talk real. Prince stated this same fact similar about the record company
Yup Prince was very vocal about this
@@PopCapitalist I agree 200 percent
The audience doesn’t care about all the work the record labels did to get the artists to where they are the audience only cares about the artists talent and the audience is paying for that talent
That's why Michael always refused to sell the rights of his music
That’s why I always admired artist like Prince and Billy Corgan. They knew what was going on.
Yea but that’s because labels take a risk by signing you. They essentially have to hope that for every 20 artists they, one of them will make it all back. Labels provide you with the best producers, marketing teams, studios, equipment, managers, tours, etc. if you’re good enough to do it on your own, then you could do it. That’s what Taylor Swift is doing now, that’s what Drake does, Kanye, Jay-Z, etc.
If the artist does all the work, how much do you think the label should make off albums?
5 dollar
@@WoozyTozy I mean that could be reasonable 🤣
tf do record labels do? lmao 🤣
Bro his point wasn't about making the money it was about the fault at the heart of the system
it depends on how much effort the record label put in vs the artist. Whoever put in the most effort to make the money should get the most return benefits
