Drake and Nicki Minaj Are Getting Hosed....

[MarcusGarvey]

JColes last album was his best (FNL is his best overall). Hard work paid off

Th funny shit to me is Drake had all the buzz in the world before signing to YMCMB (officially). He had all the leverage to tell any label to give him all his publishing and his masters. I guess he felt some type of loyalty to Wayne and Baby. smh

Difference is Jay-z has been a indy artist his whole career. He always had his publishing, i believe he negotiated for his maters after he got the Def Jam President position.

We'll see if Birdman and Slim even budge if Drake tries to get his masters and publishing. We see what they doing to Wayne right now.

Consider that they on the verge of losing all of their marquee artist Nicki, Drake and Wayne and they cant brake an artist and the big 3 probably wont resign, 10-15 years from now Drake might make a move to get his shit back not next year. Just speculation not capin I just know Drake is in rarified air and he aint coming down no time soon.

Gossiping about other mf money while working at burgerking is whats hot now? I don't get it...

So Drake didn't tour but a lil bit

And I find it funny and fucked up that J. Cole only got 1.5 million for sales because most of his sales came in 2015 due to album being released in mid December.

They all getting raped.

You do realize that's normally how much you gonna get off a album unless you on a independent..... You not getting 5-10 million off album sales unless yo album selling 5-10 million copies

And that's getting fucked over.

He's platinum right that's 1 million copies let's say at $10.

That's 10million. And he's not even getting 20% of that.

I hate how artist getting fucked over. Shit is crazy.

The average artist gets 3 points and album which equates to 30 cents and album. You go platinum then that's 300k. That's not including singles. J Cole making 1.5 mil off sales is actually pretty good imo.

He probably has an option to buy back his masters too seeing how Jay, Rihanna,etc have theirs.

GOAT.... I was just finna type this.... Rappers ain't never got $10 off an album unless they indy or sum shit.... The fact that Cole got a mill off a mill sold is actually really good

I was always told that if a rapper who is signed to a major label get $1 off every album sold, then that's a come up..

If J. Cole got a million from selling a million records then that's a come up..

If an independent artist pay for everything out of pocket and do his own marketing and distribution, then if he sell 250,000 cd's for $8 a piece then he get to pocket $2 million..

That's how Niggas in the South blew up,

from selling they own cd's out the trunk of they car..

Y r folks comparing rappers(jcole) to popstars(Quentin&nikki) ?

That short record label owner in Houston aint trippin'.

Taylor Smith makes crazy money...

I need to get in them guts and why it say ariana Grande made only $147 touring? Lol

Fuck is Taylor Smith

ahh beat me to it lol

Me too

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

I dont know about raped... he wouldnt have sold as much or have been touring as consistently without the support of a major label. So you could argue percentages, but to become a millionaire independently takes a lot more grunt work than he has put in thus far, plus they opened the door for him to make 7 million more in other places.

Its a give and take. Niggas talk about I want my publishing, but why would someone give you exposure without any incentive? It's like on Shark Tank where people come in and are afraid to give up 20% of their companies or whatever, with those guys on your team you will make a lot more than you would have alone and increase your opportunities to make money in other places tenfold. Don't have so little confidence in your ability to do other things.

Just think of yourself as a business man and think of your money. Would you invest in a musician and not ask for any of his publishing? If so, what are you gonna take? His merch, his touring, a percentage of sales? If it was your money that put him in the light, isnt said artist in debt to you once he is making millions? You aren't a bank, this is an investment, not a loan...

It's business, artists get ripped off because they have no leverage but they want to be famous, don't act like they didnt know what they were signing, and at the end of the day if you play your cards right, either way your family will be straight forever. Shit, now you have enough money to start your own label and do shit "fair"..

Whatever that means
