That means the label ate for free everytime they went to eat there. On Neyo's budget.

[@divinesoul7]

In the music industry nothing is free and everything is recoupable. The bottles you pop, the jewelry they rent for the videos and even the Backwoods you use to roll your blunts with is recoupable. What’s even crazier is that in the age of streaming and digital downloads, artists are still charged for breakage. Sometimes labels will just shelf you instead of dropping you to make sure nobody else is able to capitalize on your talent. The record business is really a loan shark business and worse than a payday loan. And now with 360 deals the norm, forget about it. You might be in the 0.00001 percentile that becomes a superstar from a label deal, but chances are you would be better going the route of Larussell.

I’ve been around people that have made monumental songs with rap artists, and even the producers get spent as well. Very thankful for Distro kid, and still learning other ways to put my music out there and have more control over it in before so knowing that Ne-Yo went through these things helps us understand even more about the entry

[@JDiggiti]

Got em sounding like Barry NEYO white .. Labels love new artists to Rob

[@RickRijuanaPro]

Label folks are shady AF. Being around somebody that knows the game. Has the information to help you excel but keeps you in the dark to exploit you is disrespectful. To feel played smh

[@kingsittystudios2400]

I was signed to a major lable,in the 90's, exact same thing, took us to restaurants as i was the typical starving artist, sent me home from Manhattan in limos, paid for me attend seminars, never realized that was my budget, long story short,album sold 30,000 units with zero promo,my moms passed from cancer and they sent me a package to the funeral home,no,it wasn't flowers it was papers saying "you've been dropped of the lable",lables are cold hearted savages.

[@user-with-integrity]

Sorry you had to go through that. 🙏🏽

[@kingsittystudios2400]

@@user-with-integrity me too

[@Flame2aCandle]

We All know who owns these labels...Ye told yall 😮

[@johncollins3046]

This is the real reason they go after the young & poor When your young you may intentionally take a bad deal. “It’s just 3 albums”. “I can make a fortune off live performances “ etc. We are always our business. We’re always working for ourselves. Know your worth. The record industry is shady has always been known.

[@ducebeatz9918]

@CurtissKingTV this is very informative thanks great vid.I remember a homegirl of mines use to listen to his 1st album back in '06 and that single "So Sick" was addictive.Its sad how real talented artists have to go through BS like this

[@traezaX1]

... For everything they purchase with the credit card is from your budget... everything 😮😮😮😮thats wild

[@ZaheerMusic]

[@OnlyZips]

Yeesh this is the realities of the industry and what come with it appreciate you bringing it to our attention that way we can protect the budget bag!!!

[@vancenichols9490]

I'm grateful for this content and also for the way that I'm going about my career as a DIYer! Thanks!!!

[@6stringbeats397]

These labels know that there is a high likely hood that the artist won’t even recoup the money that was invested in them so the labels are banking on that golden lodery ticket that will help carry all the artists that are flopping.

[@peakingmantis5331]

I knew things were going downhill when I saw that he's performing on Love Island

[@DesolationNathan]

Neyo has such a deep speaking voice

[@DodgaOfficial]

That's because the video is pitched down because of KZbin copyright issues

[@Edwinmlayiofficial]

[@Alan_GA]

[@UglyMarco]

Bruh I swear I never heard Neyo speak 😭😭😭, I had to unlock my phone to see who was talking

[@CurtissKingTV]

LOL! That's my bad fam. I had to pitch it to avoid KZbin issues.

[@davemerkury]

[@thatguy818]

Im not surprised tbh, i remember Missy Elliot said the same thing that those dinner w/ the labels are at the expensive of the artist.

[@jahwinelite8601]

Bruh, it's the first time I'm hearing bro speak, damn bro voice is rough ash to be singing those high keys , damn, I'm traumatized 😥😓🤣

[@jahwinelite8601]

Sorry didn't hear the disclaimer 🤣🤣🤣

[@maclife_ent]

Big pimpin sheesh 🤷🏿‍♂️☠️☠️

[@RichardTheWizard]

Did not expect his speaking voice to be that deep. Great advice though.

[@okaydmuzikkk6771]

Thankgod for streaming service's/ social media/ youtube

[@SignedLoveTheArtist]

Ne-Yo came in before the independent artist era. So his label would never trust him with anything because he never proved that he could sell independently 🙄🙄

[@DashSoDope]

Fun fact, Neyo wanted to work with me but my team didn’t have the budget minimum he required. I’m still working and just happy he listened to my music and liked it.

[@OnlyZips]

Not gonna lie im craving some Mr Chows & Jack In a Box now lol

[@soupmoney5738]

💎💎💎

[@AdamClaySiriuSound]

The same guy that found Neyo found Miguel too.

[@Bangastarch]

Nigeria right now is cultivating bottom feeders ….

[@faribazandpour]

Thus has been going on since the early 90’s , nore talked about then as well Labels and mr chows been on it lol

[@jasonford4601]

Yo neyo voice is deep ain't no way he gonna sound the same if he drop an album

[@user-with-integrity]

it's pitched down to sidestep KZbin copyright.

[@edasoundgod871]

Neyo voice is pitched down😂

[@cciv6100]

His speaking voice…a lot lower now. Interesting. Rough business.

[@Krissy-u8d]

It’s editing for copyright
