Right. Give me money and boredom over broke and stressed any day lol. I’ll find something to do if I get money

I’m not mad. But damn what’s the point of the money if the best thing you can do at a specific time is sit down and talk to your phone

This nikka never gets out of character. Son is a real life wrestler. Lol.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

This bozo isn’t speaking on much and said a lot of nothing in a min and 30 seconds that should’ve been said in 25 seconds.

The major takeaway from this is that this dude got that dollar tree looking fake beard on deck

 

[Michael's Black Son]

The name of the game is touring. Turning your tour into a whole ass entertainment show is where its at. The problem is most of your favorite rappers cannot afford to tour as the costs are very expensive. So they end up doing promotions at nightclubs where they get into trouble or shot at. Sad reality.

Correct.

Most of these artists are waiting to get paid off the show rather than having resources to get sets built, hire a band/dancers, rent tons of production equipment, find people to assemble/break down/drive it around, get merch designed/produced, find a dedicated rehearsal space, find a creative director — and then be focused enough to put this into action.

Lazy and no money is the real reason.

And even if you don’t have the resources for a mid tier or large scale show, all of this can be done in smaller venues with a decent amount of imagination.

Nothing is stopping an artist from buying their own 70ft wide (or larger) LED screen and using that as a back drop and finding a good designer to put stuff on it.

blame soulja boy
Soulja boy had wrote hit songs, made the beats and uploaded to soundclick. Then shot videos and did vlogs on a burgeoning video sharing platform entitled youtube. Once he did that every label got rid of they R&D team.

[Alvin]

so if an artists has established themselves with an audience, WHY THE fukk WOULD THEY SIGN INTO INDENTURED SERVITUDE???

you need assistance to go nation wide or global (50 cent, drake, beyonce, rihanna, taylor swift, weeknd, Travis Scott, etc.)

10 years late. The music industry died in 2014. One platinum dropped in 2014 before streaming became a thing. Taylor Swift was the only artist to release a new album that year and have it go platinum.

Cole went platinum, unless you meant albums that were certified in 2014 specifically.

Cole dropped at like the tail end of 2014 and was part of the upseing in 2015, which was probably the last great year for music.

 

[banner34]

Is the music industry an attractive/ profitable industry in 2024?

So much competition.

No, a lot of new artists are not selling.

I would stretch it out to 2016, but it gets sketchy past that. There haven't been many monster albums since then that everyone listened to.
