Can Drake Destroy the Music Industry? Potential Billion-Dollar Lawsuit & Dark Side of Crypto ft. Mal

[@We_God]

The fact that they are both signed to Universal is insane. The only winner is Universal. They continue to pit us against each other and we think that because our guy wins we win. No we still lose. Same goes for politics.

[@WodieJood]

Best take on the internet.

[@albeealegend]

Why do many of our own always to attribute everything to culture. So what Drake is part Jewish and he’s Black ad well. This is business and not about hip hop.

[@albeealegend]

Big and PAC beef was more about PAC getting shot and Big not saying who did it. It all escalated from there.

[@We_God]

They also take out insurance policies on their artist and own their publishing. When the beef ends in someone's death they still win, and all we are left with is memories and barbershop conversations.

[@JDell401]

​@@mikeg4960 there a difference between a label illegally pushing their artist music for numbers/profits AND a label illegally pushing one of their artist over another to bring down the value of that artist so you can re-sign them on a cheaper contract. both are illegal but Drake (employee) is saying UMG (employer) used bots AGAINST him to negotiate a cheaper contract.

[@mseduc8ed409]

So when the abuser gets abused; when the victimizer becomes the victim; when the hunter becomes the prey; when the pot meets the kettle; when what’s good for the gander is no longer good for the golden goose; when the rabbit has the gun… It appears that when the same tactics used by the “machine” to benefit Drake’s career were beneficial there was silence but now that the “machine” is behind KL, it’s a problem? I agree the system/business needs to be dismantled but I never believed for a second Drake’s success was organic and I truly question his motives. Why now? He’s no martyr. Right message, wrong messenger 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@poolsidepoliticspodcast]

Stop with this big business talk. 1. Timing says Drake is trying to respond to Kendricks album 2. Drake is not the first person to sue a label 3. This isn't even a lawsuit. Its a fishing expedition 4. The damages from one song is not billions. 5. Its clear the negotiations for the new deal aint going his way.

[@deesmoove5852]

Speaking straight facts but I will play devils advocate on one: ‘Not Like Us’ has and will destroy Drake’s credibility in the genre of Hip Hop. That’ll cost him a pretty penny no doubt. Everything else I completely agree.

Timing? You do know that this isn’t instant right and would have had to have been filed well before the album dropped. He didn’t see the drop and walk into the court house with a petition be serious

So how much money did the label put behind Drake with back to back with Meek. And if ppl thought Drake was winning the battle UMG would spend the money the same way. Drake said himself that he fed the info to Kendrick. Also Kanye been going at the label for years and ppl just call him crazy.

He is suing because they’re devaluing their own asset in order to pay less money which is bad business and illegal.

Great conversation. But ya’ll glazed over and barely discussed how Drake has benefitted from the machine he benefitted from

[@bilenmesfin]

Mal keeps saying Drake kept the lights on but he did that with the help of the machine he is suing. Is Drake big w/o the machine?

[@larrys.5423]

Good point

[@chisimpson3376]

That’s a good point BUT I think it comes down to whether drakes asked the machine to push his music, or is there some type of writing in his contract for him to get any special push from the label. If not… then that’s on the label that’s not on drake; in which makes sense of why he isn’t going directly at Kendrick because Kendrick just dropped music and kept it pushing…I don’t think Kendrick asked for extra money to push his records. So the blame would be pointed at the label. Get what I’m saying ?

[@willieboyland3180]

No one is bigger than the machine. Not even MJ could battle them devils and stay breathing.

[@iamjdaniels]

Yes, he would be. Either way That doesn't give the machine has the right to contribute to destroying his image with wild allegations just so they don't have to pay him. If your job or partners did that you, you'd want to fight back as well. Like Drake or not, this makes sense

[@raphaelbonhomme4923]

I respect this platform and what ya do. Truly so I hope Ian reads this… the “allegations” of Kendrick don’t match up and you usually talk more fact based. There was no proof so what are we talking about? He ain’t been to Australia in 6-8 years … see Mal not saying Kendrick ain’t the biggest artist right now is wild. Ya could have addressed this to Mal but I understand you are trying to be neutral but ya had more pressure on Tim Scott and RFK JR than Mal. Ya cool with him I guess but there was a lot of bias in this. When “ you can’t turn your cheek in a gunfight” you later said in This episode…this was the mentality Kendrick had and look. I understand sometimes it isn’t best to pick sides, I don’t think both of you mentioned the timing of Drake legal actions ( maybe I may have missed it). Has he ever had an advantage of UMG being biased towards him over the years? There may not be dirt on the same level as Diddy but when Jay and Solange video got out that could have tarnished Jay’s career if Beyonce went public on some Cardi B / Offset wave. If it wasn’t for Coretta holding it down the FBI would have been able to tarnish more of Dr. King’s legacy ( and they tried many things). So there is dirt on many people even the people some admire. Mal mentioned Taylor and Beyonce…they don’t do anything negative in the public he was engaged in a rap battle. So that rebuttal doesn’t exist in this multiverse lol. Do we think Beyonces home…NO BECAUSE SHE DONT BATTLE she would never be in that situation. Yes, Drake brought them billions but those labels are thinking about decades of longevity. I’m curious to see what was in their contract but whose money is longer I don’t think he can Ray Croc this McDonald. At the end of the day…many companies like that are stronger than an individual. If he gets his bag, then what? If he can’t take them down then what? I guess we’ll have to see how his contract and all has in it. Let me say this… I am biased as a Kendrick fan so that is my perspective. Let’s say Drake had magic and made a better diss than NOT LIKE US…lets say his last diss was better and outdid not like us do ya think he would have taken legal actions still? The heart part 6 …Meet the Grahams neutralized Family matters which lead to an opening to Not Like Us….This is pure logic and the equivocation needs to be addressed. Address the causation versus talking about more about the correlation. Respect to both of ya I think that topic needed more balance though.

[@walterscottii7789]

Y’all speak as if we ain’t watch Kanye do the same thing and try to call a truce with Drake to join in. Drake against the machine when it doesn’t favor him. We watched Kanye image get torn to shreds and now we supposed to have sympathy for a result of a battle that he engaged in. Stop setting guidelines in a battle rap. It’s literally tryna tie someone’s hand behind their back while you fight with both of yours then cry when they grab a bat.

[@kirkwood1987]

If Drake wins, i think he for sure going independant, he's gonna make billions off his catalogue alone. But I think he could crate his own streaming platform. Like Jay with tidal but Drake is bigger than Jay z. Especially if Drake locks in some heavy hitters maybe getting exclusive rights to stream on his platform. Like a future, a bad bunny 21 savage. I just don't see Drake wanting to let spotify or apple or any label benefit off his music again after this. So he will be in a position to compete with those platforms. And he will have advantages. He will be Lucian Grange as far as a businessman. And he can drop all his own music on his own platform exclusively. Maybe sign some other heavy hitters. I can see something like that happening. I can't see Drake wanting to do any kinda business with spotify or apple music. And I can see Drake moving into more business type moves. And he will have his whole catalogue to put somewhere where he will get paid nobody else getting paid off his music and he making real boss moves. But yea he gotta move real cautious. He can't even be going on no yachts no clubs he gotta really change the whole way he move right now because they will come for him. They will try to get to his inside circle his family. But like Mal said I think he is aware of that and he's prepared

Mal gotta be compromised at this point

[@marcuspickens25]

Yall got that DRIZZY check

[@DRICH1394]

Tbh if I’m anybody in the industry that Drake has referenced in a song directly I’m suing him now. Let buddy feel his own medicine it’s real simple math when you think about it. he’ll drop the shit real quick when you get hit with that same smoke. And in 15 years that list is long af!🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TheBmills96]

Feel this is bias because Drake had nothing to say about this when he was benefiting but as soon as his brand affected he’s wants to go against the industry, Mike and prince was doing for principals Drake doing it for ego and petty reasons

[@Ruffsecs]

🗣️ man's got mad and tried to unplug the game because he was losing after they passed out the cheat codes.

[@AZANlA]

what was the industry doing and what did they do vs Kendrick? you boys got ZERO understanding of the music industry lol

[@PizzleP]

Respectfully, clearly you have ZERO understanding of the music industry and that's fine, because most people don't, but this "take" is all wrong

[@TheBmills96]

@@PizzleP You don’t know what I know, my point I was making you can’t benefit off of something and remain silent and once that same machine do it for others you get in your feelings and want to destroy the operation, you just as bad as them because you knew what was going on

[@PizzleP]

@@TheBmills96 Again, based on your comment and talking point, I KNOW you have zero idea what you are speaking on. If I asked you about splits and licensing fees would you know the answer? If I asked you how much does UMG charge streaming services for a licensing fee in order to play the music of their artist would you know the answer? If I asked you how streams are generated and counted as profit and how many streams it takes to make a dollar would you know? I'm not responding to be condescending, so please don't take it that way. I know in these comment sections that how it can come across sometimes. I work in the music industry fam for a major label. Been here since 2022, and worked at another one prior to this from 2018-2022. I have a Master's Degree from Full Sail University in Entertainment Business - this is literally what I do. Again, respectfully, you have zero clue what you are speaking on. You're speaking on the "optics" of how it looks and what everyone else is saying. This is NOT the case, it's much bigger than this.

Does Mal do PR ? Asking for a friend.

[@carltonmartin3526]

Look…everything Mal is saying about Drake and his claims might be true, but Drake suing is not like MJ or Prince suing. MJ and Prince were African-American through and through. Them suing and Drake suing is not the same. Drake got a whole nother protection.

[@Coach_Outlaww]

Why take sides in this drake beef when you literally have nothing to gain 🤔

[@adunnio]

DRAKE ABOUT TO BE THE LAUGHING HYENA OF THE CENTURY‼️

[@b_easy0823]

Mal = Drake Groupie. Drake should fire his entire legal team and hire Mal for representation. He’ll save money and win the suit!

Be mindful Not to encourage disfunction Usually a serious relationship should lead somewhere Primarily marriage . Keep up the great job spreading the good word to help others .

@adrians-ro8kk yes. I did and his argument is as dumb Drakes petition. This isn't about the UMG, or Ke drick it is about Drakes own huberous and Ego. There is no way to spin this for Drake

Whitney should sue all of them for defamation. I need to see that day!

Pleasw dont have Mal on here again. He still sounds the same from when he was on joe budden.

Jarule was big as drake it’s today . Jarule and lots artist were known worldwide without all these stream platforms drake and others has a chance to use today

[@Stenn10ten]

So what about back to back, it’s ok when he’s winning but when he’s hurt, it’s a different story, stop cos playing and just get back to making good music

[@Shsbsbsjssbz]

Man…. The internet is dumb as fuck. Why is this so hard to understand. Drake is ALLEGING hundreds of millions if not billions in DAMAGES against UMG. Let it play out. Imma need people to state their education level, how many books they read a year, and income level.

[@doriansimmons3075]

The ignorance is loud. Some are thinking about rap beef. Others are thinking about breach of contract, antitrust issues, internet neutrality, and rate suppression. The conversations are not the same. May have to protect your sanity and be careful reading posts. Our “culture” is in trouble.
