Meant to ask this in your thread, in the booth. What did you think about the whole TLC situation. How common was it for artist to get exploited the way they did. What should they have done differently, and are all these people get record deals from American Idol / reality tv shows still getting exploited the same way?

it was the standard contract for new artists..unfortunately TLC situation is worst because THEY WERE NOT SONGRWRITERS...

At least with a rapper you can hold some leverage as a publisher since you wrote the material

TLC was CREATED..they weren't SELF MADE ...

And consider you had 3 bosses eating off of you....

Pebbles had them signed to a production deal

LA Reid was the Imprint which signed them to a record deal

Clive Davis signed them to a distribution deal...

they lucky they got even that 50g's they were talking about..

them broads bought nothing to the table in order to bring about a more lucrative situation...

along with their bad business decisions....if you look at that clip....T-BOZ admits to spending 75 thousand dollars on just baby clothes for one child

she a fukking BIRD BRAIN..."but my baby was g'd up tho" - tboz :stopitslime:

now I see why MACK 10 put the MIXED MARTIAL ARTS moves on her

sharekeisha dat hoe!! :bustback:

its common, artists been getting stuck up for shows and royalties for decades. that's they like to keep many of them intoxicated so they won't be razor sharp in counting their money.

dude you ain't even gotta keep these artists intoxicated or inebriated to exploit them..hell most of them were SOBER when they signed the deal

:russ:

they just NAIVE IDIOTS...

just like the artist I was consulting who was doing all these features for artists but wasn't getting any $$$...

because I asked her what about your PUBLISHING...


and she responded..."Publishing...I've heard of that..could you explain?" :comeon:

and you can't blame it on the young age of these artists when they signed these deals

the original member who got REPLACED by CHILLI named Crystal Jones said she wanted her PARENTS to at least look over the contract before she commits

she was told NO...so like a SMART GIRL...she DECLINED TO SIGN THE SLAVE CONTRACT

them hoes in TLC was just thirsty just like most of these negroes who sign for these bullshyt advance payments but in the long run REGRET all the BACK END royalties they not getting

not ACCORDING to the contract they signed...and THEY KNOW THEY DON'T DESERVE IT...

cause if that's the case they would have TOOK THAT SHYT TO COURT ...or wouldn't have re-signed to 2005 to LA REID again....

the same negro who got them in that situation with CLIVE DAVIS...

TLC was a brand which was the result of the investment and creativity of others besides T BOZ, CHILLI and LEFT EYE

they were just PERFORMERS ......and sorry but PERFORMERS who don't write songs, and don't own their publishing and have no capital to fund their project are at the BOTTOM OF THE BARREL when it comes to revenue....

that's just the rules of the GAME
