I think we need a come to Jesus moment in the community. Before Def Jam it was Motown and other smaller black labels. We fail for the same reasons all businesses that fail do. Under capitalization. We are a wealth-less group. Believing we can somehow self produce and move industry forward in Amerikkka when they made it this way is crazy. Asking Simmons to not sale a company when he has to think about himself and his family is crazy. Especially, when you consider “media” in America is owned by white wealth and capital. There is no holding it to ourselves if we wish for it to expand and be profitable. Sadly, America picks its winners and losers. We been dealt a bad deck of cards here. I’m not saying fold, but don’t expect much from any white controlled black facing company. If we want to keep it in the culture that time has passed. Unless we stand up and stop supporting all artist employed by them. We would have to withdraw from all artists and restart with a new movement of buy direct and local.

You can best believe the person you are referring to had nothing to do with that contract. He didn't write it himself he has several people that does those type of things. Like be real here. That's like someone being mad at Lebron James because they got a bogus contract when they know good and well Maverick Carter runs that part of his business and doesn't have to check in with Lebron about everything he does.

[@lordrassoull6216]

Just looking from the outside in, it seems like they sent him a contract that he should have taken based off him being so independent minded. Record labels give you advances as a LOAN. The more money you take, the more money you have to pay back. I see both sides of it but I think Roc was giving Russ the chance to do a 1 of a kind deal where he can retain his masters faster. I could be wrong though.

[@biggmixxo]

Nah. How do u give million dollar advances, the album made $10M plus but still the artist owes. It's straight up greed fam.😮

[@lordrassoull6216]

@@biggmixxo that’s exactly what I’m talking about. If he had accepted the deal with no money, he would have access to the resources at the label without the loan. Like I said I could be wrong, but it could’ve been a big opportunity missed.

[@lakerraiders9285]

See, they're fast-talking slick game, bad business mumbo jumbo works in the music industry on artists, not from Cali. Especially with Bay area artists who never needed the major labels to put bread in a pocket. The independent game started in the Bay Area, Master P, got from the Bay (Empire from the Bay). The term going ghetto gold did not come from down south. that's a term for an independent artist from Cali, who is making a killing, selling music out of his trunk. When these Cali artists do sign to a major label, it's more of a partnership look at the track record. Ever wonder why Cali people go out-of-state and bubble. Cause our game is too fast and laced up.

[@W4R_pOP3._718]

NO ITS BECAUSE MOST WERE GOOD HUSTLERS BUT WEAK RAPPERS SO NY MAJOR LABELS WASNT CHECKN FIOR THEM SO THEY HAD TO GO INDEPENDENT BECAUSE THEY WASNT GETN OFFERED DEALS.

Music business was made to make the businessman richer not the musicians.
