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

This is what happens when you don't drop LupEND, but make that garbage ass Lasers album . Props on Lupe standing ten toes down but at the end of the day, you either adapt to the machine or be against the machine and have to realize the journey gets harder being true to self.

Because he’s proven himself to be a goof

T&Y and Drogas Wav are classics. Only reason nikkas say it’s trash is cause they didn’t listen to it and only listen to what there labels push.

 

[FTBS]

Why is anyone with any semblance of a name even considering signing with a major label? If you got fans, quality content, and a strong team you can eat independently. Moreso than most artists that are signed because that money is all coming to you.

That said, this aint news. Artists been getting robbed since the beginning. You watch Behind the Music or Unsung or anything about any artists and getting jerked is gonna be in there 80% of the time.

That said, what she said actually makes sense. Why would I devote money and time to you when I stand to profit less? Labels aint here to make rich at their expense.

No way they listened to Drogas Wave saying that type of stupid shyt

360 deal doesn't mean it's a bad thing. you gotta factor in all the other clauses and numbers, not just the fact that its "360"
but yeah what lupe said about them not promoting seems like a breach of contract.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

It was quite some time ago and i'm paraphrasing but Jadakiss explained why he didn't wanna go independent, he didn't wanna have to do all the grunt work basically. When its time to do promo the label sets all of that up for you. When you're independent you have to do all of that, and lets be honest most people aren't trying to do that.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Lupe's been talking about this since '07, really.

And he's absolutely right about everything he's been saying about the labels. Atlantic is seriously one of the worst sh*thole companies to ever exist, in the music business. All the thievery and crook sh*t really started there at this level, and that's why they're drowning now. One of the shadiest labels I've ever seen and passed through.

 

[Art Barr]

Exactly most of theee artists are just bad at business and weak minded, a 360 deal doesn’t have to be a bad deal.

360 deal is a complete conflict of interest.

First off....
The record label or art house serves no purpose.
As you can sell the records.
they really sold on your own.


You can watch the movie the doors.
To learn not to listen to.
or want a label.

I love Lupe but that’s his side of the story. Listen to him, he’s willing to do a 360, but he know some people who know some people? He got the shirt hook up, distribution, designer , and everything else.

Why the hell would he be interested in a 360 deal then?


Go do it on your own.

Because as he said, he owed them more albums. You can’t just go do your own thing when your under contract. Whether he signed the 360 or not Atlantic still had him dead to rights. So it made sense to try to MAKE sense of the shytty deal they were trying to get him to sign rather than be shelved. Lyor didn’t want to play ball because Lupe had no leverage until the protests and Anonymous shyt forced his hand.

 

[Rice N Beans]

Hella slimy to stall the single in an effort to own the rights before it blows up. Like that's just a nutty case of greed I couldn't think of.

Atlantic ruined both Lupe and Saigon for not falling in line. What would it be like if Lupe went to Roc and Saigon to Ill Will under Nas.

Even that was just used as another stunt with the boombox to save face with the public. Zero shame with Atlantic.

[GoldenGlove]

One of the biggest send offs in hip-hop history

But if they dropped it before owning the sample nobody gets paid right?

Lupe been an ass despite being a talented lyricist but its fukk that culture vulture lyor cohen all day everyday. Lupes mistake was gambling his career on these labels. He didnt learn his lesson when he should have and that was it. But fukk lyor cancer cohen. Hes straight up a cancer to music.
