:hhh:
The money is never in performance, it is production and songwriting royalties.
On the real, Megan needs this guy right here to manage her career.

I swear with all the insider knowledge a lot of this Coli brehs got, some of ya’ll could run a record label better than some of these mega companies.
Megan ain’t bout that life.

Fukk it, WE need to pitch the idea to Netflix!:russ:

Nope, hence the C&D the she got from the Judge to release music, so more than likely no....



10k to a ratchet is come up and she didn't have to do anything but sign some bullshyt paper from her POV...



TLC, Drake, Nikki, Wayne, Dr. Dre, R. Kelly, come on, you gotta know your history as a Black performer when you sign anything...

I'm the opposite though and maybe the minorty but I paid for most of the indy artists music and I attend concerts. Trust me people still value these things but if your music doesn't touch people in a real way nobody will buy your shyt.


This I fukked with Neo Soul and Pro Black hip-hop heavy, I was even thinking of either promoting or bringing down artists to the one horse military town I was in. It's rando artists that I would go pretty far to see, If I knew they were performing. But this shyt they play on the radio doesn't move me.

People still signing contracts without reading it prior? :unimpressed:

People can be coerced into signing a contract Luca Brasi style, though. :dwillhuh:

I really hope the G-Eazy situation with Megan isn't leading to some type of bias that she DESERVES to be jerked. :dahell::wtf:

True you're talking about Ava Deveray.

I just don't think it's as much money in shea butterism as people think. Remember that twitter hashtag about The Root? Now I hate feminists but I really think that some of them don't fully understand how they're undermining Black people. That being said after that they stopped mentioning Tariq and Umar.

There's money and clout in shea butterism but there's a limit If it's too damn obvious that you're shytting on Black men you'll lose Black dollars.

Now that's something Meg can do when she gets fully washed but not now. Besides I think she is what she claims to be a thotty type of chick that likes hood dudes. I'm not saying she's a thot I'm saying that she thotty type like K.Michelle is they like what they like if you don't have tatts on your face don't approach.
Yeah she needs to avoid shea butterism b/c it alienates large demographic populations. Besides which this isn’t a gender issue at least not to me b/c from my nascent understanding of the history of the music industry that ya’ll been instructing me in, tons of blk male and female artists and artists from other races have gotten fukked too.

I just heard that Taylor Swift is re-recording all her old songs to have more control over her legacy.

shyt is CRAZY yo.

Bottom line - she saw $$ and got greedy, started feeling herself a little too much, people got in her ear about how much of a "name" that she is except instalikes, among shea butter set and clout culture doesn't equate to full scale fame and talent. By the time the lawyers, managers, and other execs are running her pockets- and fronting her fees; she'll be lucky if she breaks even because it sounds like they have a cut of her promotion and endorsements. She's not at that "nikki or cardi" level yet, where she could parlay and politick into other outlets - her rap cadence is always the same, there's a lot of big body built chicks out here that can twerk - ROC Nation is not seeing her as a long term investment, because she is rather gimmicky. No one in NYC or east coast is rushing out to rally behind Meg's music. What's wavy in NY is not going to be the same in the south and reverse of that, what's wavy in NY is not getting spins in Texas- that's just how it is as a female rapper until she starts collaborating for that industry push. Her antics on social media aren't helping her cause bc it lacks professionalism. There was a thread in here talking about how she looks "soulless", welp- we now know why - can't imagine doing all that work and putting in time, only to get on stage night after night knowing "my money" isn't mine. Meg needs to dial back that ego and calm down the chatter, because there will be a clash between industry dudes and in these street dudes, that are running out of patience. Money is time, these dudes are not playing. Her name and popularity will only protect her for so long especially if she's not putting out music - fans are real fickle; they'll get bored and move on. These is the adhd rap era, on to the next.

Basically, she entered into a devil's 3 way contract, Running around here thinking that she's the "Beyoncé" of trap rap. Now instead of cashing royalty checks, she's dealing in reality checks. But she's not royalty status.

You really thinking people can't be threatened to sign a contract if something thinks they're going to bring them a lot of money? :comeon: Go read a damn book in the rain, fam. :camby:

Ol' "everyone's really respectfully when it comes to getting money", "We really want the best for you and respect your wishes, we'll let your financial potential to us walk away " :mjlol:

My cousin is currently recording in the studio (that he made himself but that’s another story). But he hasn’t signed with a label. He has a single out and he’s been doing all the marketing via Facebook, Twitter, IG and YouTube.

Clowns in my extended family were trying to play him and pressure him to take a deal but he’s been adamant about not doing it. He plays local gigs and actually makes good side money. His regular job is growing soybeans off his part of the land inherited from our grandmother.
I’m super proud of dude b:c prior to learning all this shyt I was wondering why he was reticent about signing deals too.

Ya’ll are a fount of knowledge about this shyt. Need to be creating online courses and trainings with everything a lot of you guys know about this industry. That could be a whole nother separate hustle.:wow:
