Lupe specifically details to Angela Yee how Lyor & Atlantic sabotaged his career cause he aint wanna sign a 360 deal.

Hearing this kinda makes you realize why rap is the way it is now.


All these Meg the Stallion's, Glorillas, NBA Youngboys etc. prolly aint give a fukk and signed whatever piece of paper was infront of him. Which granted them full machine access. Causethese labels making all they bread back and more

Jay-Z signed a 360 deal with Live Nation

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The music industry has always been a house of cards. It was based on physical sales and loaning artists money they could never pay back which meant the labels kept all of the profits. Now artists can make their own content and merch for way less than huge label budgets.

The new/old hustle are these pretend management companies like United Masters who just take a cut of your money for literally doing nothing you couldn’t do yourself.

Since physical sales went away, the industry hasn’t figured out a way to properly exploit artists for the billions they’re used to getting. The 360 was a hot thing when artists were touring, but now that’s mostly dead.

Jay-Z signed a 360 deal with Live Nation

Yeah, back in 08. It worked out for him coz he parlayed that cash into RocNation...but for most other nikkas it's probably a bad deal, especially if you're not a long term planner.

 

[Da King]

But what does that have to do with him putting out garbage music?


After he dropped the cool, he released weed plate after weed plate after weed plate…

Nah cuzzo . Dont give em the Rocnation PR spin


Live nation owns a large portion of ROCNATION to THIS DAY. Thats why its called rocNATION it was a merger.


Which is quite literally what Lupe was talking about. They put the machine behind you once you become part of the machine.

Lupe keep trying to rewrite the LASERS failure every chance he gets.

He hasn't rewrote anything. He's been saying this since the beginning.

 

[King Poetic]

Lying Cohen been a dirt bag

Dude was sued decades ago when ja rule was trying to put out his group and he blocked that back in the early 2000s

Now he over at YouTube Global

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Jay-Z signed a 360 deal with Live Nation

He signed for 150 mill. Everyone knows that.

He reup for like 250 i think

He got the bread up front and him and live nation spilt the profits on all the other income.

For someone like Jay is a win easy. For someone who don’t have alot of success it’s not.

Lasers was heavily ATLANTIC influenced. Which keeps on going back to his original point.



If you dont play ball with these motherfukkas they aint PUSHING or PROMOTING yo shyt. Even if it would make em money. Its a power and control thing.



This shyt is crazy



I wonder if they were doing that to all their artist or just guys like Lupe cause he is mo "alternative" and "backpack" than street.


Like were these nikkas hoing Meek and Kevin Gates around like this?, but then again them boys prolly signed 360s so Atlantic let em rock out

You weren't around back then? I remember this pretty vividly.

Lol, I was going to say this. I don't doubt that Lyor is a snake, but his music was trash, more promo wouldn't have changed that.
