no because streaming is new and no company was willing to take that level of risk that early
I'm tryna follow your logic, so because they weren't giving money away that means they didn't have it? who is gonna guarantee return on investment for a 100 million dollar deal? all of these were unknowns a few years ago
Apple signed a deal with Drake for.......19 mil
but this was back in, what 2016? no one knew what they were doing
now that streaming has been around for a bit all of these services are gonna be offering bigger bags since they have enough data to show what kind of money to expect. this is like when the NBA worked out that deal a few years back and fukkin Mike Conley got a bag that changed the entire negotiation process in the league, now everyone gets paid more.
it's gonna start with Rogan because he's an internet god and single handedly prolly made youtube over a billion bucks from his show alone, not Joe Budden and his bum ass friends
i could go on a whole nother tanget of how being in the "hip hop world bubble" has these nikkas thinkin they pod is the biggest shyt on the planet and they deserve that much but
delusions are on brand for Budden
nikkas get on that pod everyone week and talk about how much they don't care about topics, don't listen to albums to review, AND try to send subs at spotify at the same time?
joes a fukkin lunatic
