[@scopemaverick8733]

I got mad respect for Ed Sheeran. His style of music ain’t even what I ride to, but his talent and level of substance in his art is undeniable. Same reason I have a lot of respect for Country music.

[@SpeedyNoriega]

This has happened with my beats. I show somebody a beat a few times and they like whatever then a week later I show it to them again and they think it's the best beat ever.

[@justinhenryrebel]

Your 100% right on that….Literally everyone who works at a label has been a musician and failed.

[@orendjohnsonjr]

They earn more than the artist tho. That's a juke and finesse

[@KingBabaJames]

Yeah that's why you never send your music to so called music professional to rate it. Because they're disingenuounes and sometimes jealous if see you have a dope talent. Best way to it out there promote it let people determine whether its good or not. Some mf rate my song crazy in love with Emma poorly. The song got 30k views in weeks and getting a lots streams on spotify. Fans say they like better than my hit song Maria.

[@justinhenryrebel]

@@orendjohnsonjr unless the artist understands how to monetize their brand or have another business going on and understands it. They are salaried employees but with a business you can make their salary in a month.

[@justinhenryrebel]

@@KingBabaJames yup. Fans are all that matter.

[@orendjohnsonjr]

@@justinhenryrebel U not wrong at all.

Fun fact: It was kevin costner, the actor who told whitney to remake “ I will always love you”

[@johntmcgill6936]

Wields the truth like a sword 🤣

[@VictoriaWhitlock]

When you said the music industry is made up of failures, that put everything in perspective for me. It made me realize that I have to avoid certain attributes at all costs and cannot give up. Failed artists Failed producers Failed singers Failed engineers Failed dancers Weren’t good enough No gumption No self belief No perseverance Stage fright Couldn’t remember lyrics Alcoholics Drugs addicts Addicted to sex Doing it for the wrong reasons Soft

This is a perfect definition & description of exactly who and what “Music Industry People” are. It’s so damn true.

[@fletchdavidson6079]

Thr fact that he didn't want to release Shape of You because it was too easy show you he's got some bangers in his notebook that works melt your mind.

[@jordankevin7496]

Damn bro I was really riding with you tell the end when I realized this whole thing is just a commercial for you to sell sum. I respect the hustle but.. man, I thought you were legit, you’re good.

[@TVSOUNDSYSTEM]

Another GREAT breakdown!!

[@delvesdg]

Music Industry people are in the business to make money. Stupid is probably a stretch. They know that they don't have to be correct about a hit song or up and coming artist every single time. The strength is in the quantity not the quality. Go to the Billboard 100s, or whatever it's called. Do you know every song up there? Do you think most of them are "good songs"? How many of them will you know in 20 years word for word? An artist is looking for a number one album. The music industry is looking a mass amount of content. Good or bad it is still a payday for them.

[@ehicks13]

The way he defended Ed ... fucking hilarious

[@anthonyince4866]

I remember the first time I heard the opening riff of thinking out loud I remember saying to my friends he is going to get sued for this track and lo and behold what happened to the year later

[@JayFaReel]

It was David Foster who decided to redo Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” for the Bodyguard soundtrack. Genius decision! 👌🏾

[@crnkmnky]

I see. Definitely not some A&R guy. David Foster is a bonafide legend. Hitmaker, songwriter, producer, mentor. _( Okay, I’ll get off his tip now. 😅 )_ I first saw him as a judge way back on _MTV’s The Cut,_ hosted by Left Eye Lopes.

[@JayFaReel]

@@crnkmnky You’re exactly right! He’s right up there with Quincy Jones when you talk legendary producers that single handedly altered the sound of music and the music industry over the course of their career.

Another story of trusting your gut, its beautiful when it works out.

[@chriscooks5437]

Whitney Houston hated IWALY. Songs get passed on all the time. Anita Baker passed on what became Toni Braxton's mega hit debut album. Much of Pebbles debut was written for Vanessa Williams. LA Reid's girlfriend snatched the songs. My, My, My was offered to The Temptations, The Whispers before Johnny Gill swooped it up. After 7 was late to the session and Johnny got it. I still think After 7 would've knocked it out the park. People passed on songs cuz they didn't envision it for themselves.

[@Somong]

If Dorian was a song, he'd be Ice Cube "No Vaseline" on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Mentagasm]

He slept on Jaimie Foxx's couch when he was first trying to make it. He got a lotta black folks who like him. He seems pretty genuine and he is a really good Songwriter

[@chriscooks5437]

Who Ed Sheeran or Dorian? Jamie Foxx is a "sweet" predator.

[@resonationtv]

Thank you bro your content is great !!

[@jvices]

It was Kevin Costner that suggested she record “I will Always Love You”

[@brandon2521]

How much did you make off music in 9 months? Charting #1 on itunes translates into how much money? Please do a show or a short on this topic to give us artists a realistic image of how much we can make off of our music. Thanks

[@docproof26]

Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf collaborative EP was amazing!

[@h3was547]

Success is so certain for some people they can be overly picky about things and we still support.

[@Djspingawd201]

@5:00 the answer to that is “DAViD FOSTER” was the one who made that happen! Having Whitney Houston RE make “I will always love you” by Dolly … CLIVE DAVIS was the one who MADE THE CALL to 1. Have her in the movie “Body Gaurd” and 2. Have David foster Help wit the MUSIC 🔥📈…

[@FRNKNSTNmusic]

Bro this fucking video is art.

Lol facts Dorian

[@kareemlane7126]

Thanks 4 sharing. I don't think everyone at a label is a failed this or that. Some had good runs in other fields. Others may have went to college or whatever to be whatever it is they do at the label. Even the ones who "failed" gain knowledge and can pass that on to an artist so they don't make the same mistakes.....Isn't Ed Sheeran signed to a record company? Anyhow, again, thanks for the video and I wish you the best.

[@tranquil5891]

This must just be my favourite video. . .

David Foster was the music producer who got Whitney Houston to cover Dolly Parton’s song. Look at his catalog. He got mega hits

[@kingitme478]

Facts....💯💯💯💯💥

[@delontewilliams4090]

@doriangroup82 I fuck w u bro but I’m sorry I never heard of David Foster, who isn’t a failed musician at all but a legendary composer responsible for numerous hits over the last half century, and almost solely responsible for Whitney Houston’s version of I will always love you…along w the success of quite a few best in category artists.

[@crnkmnky]

Yeah, that example didn’t quite pan out. David Foster worked his way up as a session pianist and songwriter, building on success.

[@a6gittiworld]

"soft mf" haha

[@GabiWilsonTV]

I know who told Whitney to cover “I Will Always Love You”.😉 His publishing money is ridiculous and he ain’t had a hit in 40 years.🤣

[@DorianGroup82]

Thought about doing a video on that.

[@mikaelapollo6401]

Why when I hear this brother speak I hear West Side Connection?? 🤣

[@SC-sc7dy]

Why can’t we comment on your shorts lol

[@crnkmnky]

Funny coincidence… my younger brother had a real life experience being “managed” by a bonafide Music Industry Idiot. Somehow this man had a “producer” credit on TLC’s “No Scrubs,” and right now he is eating off of Ed Sheeran’s 2 billion streams. 😖

[@Cultured_Barbarian]

Damn! My dude going hard as fuck on these pure FACTS!!!

[@OsAbliNgin911]

Music industry people are also the handlers too. They do stupid stuff on purpose. Artists don't get great songs written by other artist by accident. A song might be disliked by music people just because they don't like the artist singing the song or they feel like the song is just not right for the artist, but later they may like that same song they disliked when they have an artist in mind who they think the song would be perfect for. That is what I believe happened in Ed Sheeran's situation. The puppet artists get priority by music industry people even though they don't sell as many records as Ed Sheeran.

[@OriginalKingRichTv]

I want to make mainstream heavy music.

[@lamarlo4437]

Labels only care about revenue and money and not artistry, they know nothing about good music. Case in point the label wanted Janet Jackson to make another album like Contro, Control 2 and had she done that, we wouldn't have Rhythm Nation. Her third album Janet. they wanted her to release If as the first single because they wanted a big song with a big production and it almost worked until That's The Way Love Goes was recorded and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Janet fought to make That’s the Way Love Goes the first single. Beyonce first album the label wanted Naughty Girl to be the first single because they saw it as a safe choice that it would chart high yet may not reach #1, great thing Beyonce went with Crazy in Love. Jagged Edge song Let's Get Married, a universal topic were told by labeles that they were not pop music and what middle America (white people) wanted to hear. The song sold 3million which is good and the label market the song more it could have sold 10 million. One great example of an industry exec who knew what they were doing was L.A Reid when it came to Mariah Carey Emancipation of Mimi album, when we wanted Mariah to record a few more songs because he wanted more strong singles, so Mariah went back into the studio with Jermaine Dupri and recorded Shake it Off, Get Your Number, We Belong Together and It's Like That, which we all know became one of Mariah Carey's best work.

[@activemusickid]

But you need a record label to sell out STADIUMS on tour… Tell me how an Independent artist can tour in STADIUMS… Who’s gonna pay for the tour bus and the entire squad and stage crew…. There comes a point where an Indie artist can only go so far….

[@DorianGroup82]

Tech N9Ne owns an entire fleet of vehicles and rents them out to labels when he’s not on tour. Learn the game.

[@activemusickid]

@@DorianGroup82 Idk who that is until you mentioned him. I’m sure he’s great, I don’t discredit him in any way. But hey, yes I agree you need to learn the game… To a certain point though. Social media marketing, yes… But to the point where we are the ones booking the stadiums without much of any backing…? That’s intense, time consuming and full of immense risk with 0 gray area or room for the slightest of human errors. Where does focusing on our craft and actually making the music come into play? Tech N9Ne apparently passed away unfortunately from what I researched
