Appreciate you having me Pain!! If you guys wanna learn more about the business side and placement process, tap in with our channel 👑

[@DJPain1]

Thank YOU 🙏🏽

[@FonkedUpProductions]

A label tried to sign me to a production deal before. There is nothing appealing about it that should make someone even consider it. On paper or said out loud it makes no sense

[@DJPain1]

Yep, they don’t hide it

[@___Deeep___]

I have hella beats that aren’t out yet. On BandLab dudes constantly hit me up about signing a label deal. Idk but the way they are trying to interact with me comes off as sneaky. Def not trusting them. Pain has literally given me the blueprint to not getting screwed.

THANK YOU for making these videos. They’re extremely informative and beneficial for producers just getting into the industry. Please don’t ever stop 🦾

[@DJPain1]

Happy to help!

[@andrexaviermusic]

Crazy how even they are not 100% sure how the system works. The industry needs more transparency in general.

[@geminitwinworld]

How does swizz beats gets paid so much? His houses,cars? What's his production process? And why can't anyone replicate his income that he makes? It makes no sense at all.

[@DJPain1]

Nobody else made money like swizz beatz? Ever? 🤦🏽

[@Crazysteve0017]

Beat bread or beat brand ? I would love that type of platform for my beats got too much unreleased beats that I can do something with

[@DJPain1]

Beat bread

[@touch182]

Love these interviews.

[@DJPain1]

The song would have to generate $166,666.66 to recoup $5,000 at 3% ... I knew pain was illuminati

[@MilesGotBeats]

Can we talk about Labels violating child labor laws with all these teenagers passing loops around and getting them cleared for placements? 🤯

[@DJPain1]

They’re taking advantage of kids for sure, but unsigned producers and rappers are too

[@MilesGotBeats]

@@DJPain1 100% agree

[@rrrrrrmp]

if i ask someone "what does recoup mean" and they explain it ONLY using it in a sentence... id feel like im back in the street

Protip: have a lawyer who can review & counter/ammend deals. Not all Deals are Bad Deals.

[@DJPain1]

If only this guy were in law school or something

[@DewayneOh6]

The music industry is not really respected by other business sectors because there is too much bad business being done in the music industry that would never fly in those other sectors.

[@DJPain1]

Lol

[@DewayneOh6]

@@DJPain1 LOL. If a company buys an entertainment company that owns a record label, one of the first things they do is sell off that label. They will keep the publishing company, but it's a big NO for the label. Issa Rae says it's the worst industry she has come across.

[@DJPain1]

@@DewayneOh6 Issa Rae bought our company, a music business education platform.

[@DewayneOh6]

@DJPain1 Good deal! Glad to hear that. I'm not surprised. I like what Issa Rae has done with Raedio. So many people have come into the industry or built a career in the industry and adopted those broken practices that do not serve us.

[@Note_Creator]

Question, should I set up all 3. ascap, song trust and sound exchange for beat selling?

[@DJPain1]

You need a PRO and Soundexchange. Songtrust is optional, but they collect aggressively and comprehensively on the underlying composition copyright.

[@Note_Creator]

@@DJPain1 thank you and love the cat

[@KAUTIOUZBEATZ4]

How important is sound exchange if you use songtrust​?@@DJPain1

Zero tolerance usually has poor outcomes

[@EricWard-uw7yu]

Honestly I was happy to watch this video at the beginning. But half of this interview was DJ Pain asking questions and this guy saying I don’t know 🤦🏾‍♂️. Nice freestyle video DJ Pain.

[@DJPain1]

I’ll make sure to not ask complicated questions and script the interviewees answers next time

[@juniordunkley2751]

You guys don't have to worry about record companies they ain't gonna sign you any way
