i don't get this...strike while hot and do what when you don't get any money from it? flip what? i mean, i could see if the dude was charismatic, he's decent enough looking, he could maybe just build up a career as a socialite or c-list actor, but breh can't enunciate and has the energy of a sloth...good luck to this future uber driver

The answer to that question is because that’s the most sure-fire, time tested path to a lucrative and successful career as a star in the music business. As much as I’m sure it must suck for cats like Wayne and Kanye who’ve already made millions during their career and are now international icons taking legal routes to secure additional millions, that’s a burden the average broke ass muhfukka trying to get rich and famous off music with no resources or connections will jump to endure

It's usually after people becoming household names that they can actually have a relatively successful career as an Indie Artist.

E.g. If Taylor Swift went without a label she'd still eat heavy. Labels will often get artist to extend their contracts as they peak.

Also, the economics of scale you get with these labels can't be denied. Access to producers, distribution channels, clearing samples, recording, promotions etc. These labels have been playing the game for a long time and have the music operations down to a science. As an indie artist, you have to take on all of the aforementioned tasks by yourself and out of pocket. Labels help subsidize that cost to the artist.

However, with the internet, I'm sure some of these artists could start their own labels/distro channels. Kinda like how Disney pulled all their content from Netflix and created their own streaming service. I'm sure someone like drake could create his avenue with the pull he has.

So what it's working

He has the biggest buzz right now

By the time he get his piece of the pie, it'll be down to the crust.

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

They're about to financially rape him until he's blue in the face.

 

[FreedMind]

labels finna pull up on his bank account and bleed it.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Only way to beat this is to stay hot, make connections and rap your way through it.

I could be wrong but I don't think he has the work ethic to pull it off, and he's already a pretty bad rapper as is.

Man people talking about him being hot and buzz and all that. That man can’t afford to be giving all his money away in a time where albums barely even matter lol. He bout to have to tour non stop just to put some change in his pocket. Dude better start cranking out music so he can keep up. How are these kids signing weak ass contracts in this climate?
