All I want to know is how much, all them hits you know they threw the mega bag at him.

When it was Bob Dylan and other legends, the Coli said it made sense because "no one is streaming that music anymore, anyway." Which I disagreed with but fine. Now it's a young artist, who gets heavy streaming/sales, not to mention his music will continue to be in ads/films/etc for years to come...does the Coli still think this is a good idea?
The up front money is nice. Maybe he needed it after a year of being unable to tour. But long term is this a good idea, for a young artist who likely still has multiple hit songs and records in his future? I don't think so.

Because touring was a main source of income for many artist so with Covid a lot of artist have no way to make money.
masters/catalog owning will be pretty irrelevant in a few years.
how many songs from the past 10 years are actually going to be played heavily in commercials, tv, movies, etc?
Although Bruno is one of the few artist who's music I see being played, he must have got offered a grip to sell it.

Everyone is doing this..and people who have no money issues at all
Yet the coli music industry insiders all say it’s a bad idea..gotta love it
if jay ever does something like this...that’s a guaranteed plat thread

yikes!
but it’s no secret that when MJ got his hands on the Beatles catalog (among others) a lot of people felt some kind of way and by the early 90s they were gunning for his ass. That 30-40 years later that catalog is a license to print money and he held on to his half of it til then.
His estate is out of their damn minds and there’s no way he would co sign it.
imagine being one person and having 50% of something and your “partner” in the other half is a billion dollar corporation.
Incredible. What does this mean for the future of music. Never would seen someone like Bruno doing this

Once LA Reid did it the writing was on the wall. If LA Reid did it no one else doing this will surprise me.
