oh please brother @CleinB save me the sob story
Young man did you not pay attention to the numerous threads i've made documenting the current Business Model that Lyor and his minions (kevin liles...todd moscowitz..craig kallman..julie greenwald) have maintained within the past several years of not providing any tangible support much less artist development and backing to say the least...to protect the investment of the parent companies and financial backers of Lyor's "boutique label"??
Lyor is being praised by the industry for taking a 5 million dollar investment from GOOGLE/YOUTUBE along with his own capital (shares of Warner stock) and creating a label that operates on LOW MINIMAL COSTS and HIGH RETURNS...
and those returns are the STREAMING REVENUE...nothing more nothing less.....
and they can do that simply by allowing the BRAND to do what it was doing prior to getting "signed" by 300....
lyor showed THUGGA how he was pimping Thugga's massive presence on the web even though Thugga directed and partly funded the majority of his visuals..all 300 had to do was take the approach that industry pundit Marc Geiger described and sit back and just collect the revenue
"We (major labels) are making $$ all we do provide the file and it's straight PROFIT"- MARC GEIGER
in laymens term like an industry cat told me ..it's basically "SHARECROPPING"
Fam...
Migos left Lyor and Kevin
Got with Coach completely... Not only did we get the album we got videos for almost every song
For the record.. you were/are right
