"Labels are making money again....all the advertising revenue coming from entities like Youtube, thier getting 100 million dollar checks...streaming revenue....itunes downloads has exceeded record sales in stores...
the streaming on demand model scales and subscribtion services are big money...which is why Amazon, Apple and Google are entering the game...
the labels cut costs cause THEY DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING as far as overhead..just MAKE THE FILES Available to entities like Spotify ...
this works well for the Labels in regards CATALOG ARTISTS (old music) where the royalty rate (which is low) has already been PAID off, and the Marketing Costs have ALREADY BEEN PAID OFF AND RECOUPED....and it's PURE PROFIT......"
uhh nah homie
I've learned my lesson discussing the matter on a Internet Radio show 2 years ago ...
Once I started namedropping major labels like Universal I got cut off abruptly by the show host whom stated I was being "slanderous"
I'm good on that ....besides I don't want those "DOUG MORRIS" problems
I have interests in the streaming biz
You sign to a label for the exposure. It's practical and relative.sign to record labels brehs
Smh. They trade off is they make you a star and you can make money through other ventures like movies, shows, speaking engagements, sponsorships, etc. label execs can't do that. They in essence operate like any other Fortune 500.The music industry is literally just a collection of the best scam artists. The hustle is so immaculate. its like at one stance you hate the vileness, the base greed, what it does to the art form of music as a whole... on the other hand you just got to appreciate the single ultimate mastery of shiest, the same way you on a level appreciate beauty of a shark or a lion on the hunt as long as you aint the prey...
went from charging 8 dollars for a tape
to charging 16 dollars for a compact disc
to 'dieing' even though they always made good money
to charging 14 dollars for 1's and 0's floating around the internet
and they at no point in that cycle EVER paid the person who made the music more than 10 cents on the dollar on average
the shiest is awe inspiring

The only fukked up thing about the music industry is the artists have to make back the money the labels invested in them before the artist make a cent off their art.
The music industry is pretty much a commission job but you can make millions and have fun doing so.
That's the case with movies & TV shows on iTunes, but NOT music. Music you bought & downloaded from iTunes can be played on any music player or device that play .aac/.m4a filesexactly.....
I was just on iTunes and looking at The average Price of an album being like 12 bucks...
12 fukking bucks for a damn digital file...that unlike the physical cd YOU NEVER GET to own....cause u are limited to playing it on the player THEY provide unless u convert it
