Everyone saying go independent don’t understand what kind of work and headaches that come with.

Everyone saying that don’t understand the music business. Drake is too big of an artist to go the independent route.

[Rembrandt]

May have been half a billi if his Instagram is any indication

 

[desjardins]

Get a bigger contract than anyone on the team you mascot for brehs

 

[Controversy]

Independent he can't cheat, or he has to spend his money instead of Universal's to cheat. He needs them, he's a media creation, not a real grassroots Hip-Hop MC.

grassroots hip hop emcees be angry at the young nikkas making the money they feel like they deserve

 

[You Win Perfect]

Dummy 12 years in


Should of went independent…now he gotta split the women with universal and the prince family

Some artists don’t care about ownership. Especially when they don’t even write their own songs

 

[Bolzmark]

His ghostwriters about to get paid nicely

 

[Roid Jones]

bu bu bu Drake should go independent

 

[Piff Perkins]

Would you tell Michael Jackson to go independent? Whitney Houston? Adele? It makes no sense. Sure Prince did it but let's not forget Prince signed a huge contract (allegedly 100mil) after Purple Rain. He used that money to finance the creation of his own record label, and used Warner for distribution. After grudgingly completing the contract, he then went independent.

This deal with ultimately finance whatever Drake's long term play is. He's smart, he's surrounded by even smarter people, and he's not going anywhere. And just like Prince, he can quickly release albums and complete the deal fast enough to do whatever is next BEFORE he completely falls off.

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Never been up to my record label
Never knew the deal
I just signed 400 Mil
and I'm bout to hit a Bil

 

[Yecht]

Up to 400 million……..

Only on the coli does someone laugh at walking away with 12 million dollars
