[@MarlonT]

Love this type of content. As a finance major it’s so cool to hear this side of the music industry. Broke it down beautifully. Major props to Ak

[@redmondt1841]

Fr I love when ak talk business it helps a lot as an artist.

[@urbannuance5151]

AK was a Math Major or engineer or something too. This is his LANE

[@rasshang]

It's so kewl to hear this side of the music industry 😄 🤣

[@Creukelen]

Love when you break the game down like this. Thanks for the upload. I don’t be on the streams, but these posts I click on quickly when it hits KZbin.

[@Rl-jd8lh]

Clips are the full stream, but just in different clips and titled. Its a good way to post it.

[@yegoat05]

they really got the best years out of kodak & yb... it doesn't make sense to resign them for all that money, when u can sign a young nigga for 3 million & get 8 projects out of him & own his entire masters. I truly believe that this is the last era of rap that see's rappers stay relevant into their late 20's. rap is becoming a young man's sport!!

[@GabeCerebro]

He killed this.

[@SevenHunnid]

My dawg, I’m 20 years old & mexican , grinding hard to get out the hood, I can’t be 30 with nothing to show for so i smoke weed on my youtube channel 😅😅

[@dreamone8702]

Bro he makin sht up. He said he met Len Blatnvik's son...that guy doesn't have a son lol 💀💀

[@EastAfricanSniper]

“Ak you look like you lost half a pound” is a insane compliment 😭

[@myernyanwleh2119]

That means the Hennessy is working. Remember: "I was trying to get the henney." Lol.

[@traplover6357]

Rappers will realize that investors are gonna be worse than label execs when they are even MORE hungry for short term profits.

[@7aShey]

As an artist I would be extremely happy to be dropped from Atlantic bc usually no one gets off that record label alive

[@Dat.BoyJay]

Facts 😂

[@urbannuance5151]

Ak is the GOAT for breaking this down, no other platform gives this much detail. This is what separates him from the others, and shows his growth as a creator.

[@bincorleone]

As a small business owner endeavoring to be a large business owner I really appreciate this content and breakdown 💯🙏🏿

[@morecents7680]

@20:11 this notion of instant profits by cost cutting and showing instant revenue via ownership of masters hits different with PNB Rock passing today. Atlantic/WMG streams for PNB is going to go through the roof and their Q4 10-Q call in 2023 is going to look phenomenal for its revenue and profit

[@spliffspark4918]

Ak your audio is all over the place, its either too loud or too low

[@quakestream6213]

Ak we love when you break shit down like that !!! I'm a musician myself and the fact that there is someone that spills all business dealings of industry and gives it as it is with no sugar-coating is amazing and a breath of fresh air in this fake industry. Utmost amount of gratitude for your work and efforts !!! p.s. we do love the fuckery too ofc.

[@cameronyeezy85]

Shoutout AK on his weight loss journey that 1/2 pound you lost is inspiring AF

[@pasetherichez]

nobody break the game down like AK that's what makes him a goat of this hip hop media shit keep dropping gems big AK

[@Andjun5174]

Now I understand why AK is this successful but dang he took too many exits to get to the point

[@witchdoctor813]

You must be new to his streams, he always goes in to details about a story and fully breaks it down. He streams for 5+ hours by himself talking about random ish.

[@Clin7Walker]

@@witchdoctor813 that's lit and hilarious

[@someguyjohn6599]

Facts!! He's a very long winded speaker. He basically simplified everything he said in the last 6 minutes of the Video, so its like.. Why didn't he just say that in the beginning?

[@leorodriguez552]

The half pound comment killed me 💀

[@jackstarc111]

Ak deserves to be a millionaire off this shit. Your knowledge of the music industry is impressive

[@phelansanders]

😅 wtf

[@Zephyrion__]

He’s already a millionaire

[@fidelcastro2210]

Ain’t even that great you seen him just search up the info and repeat it

[@sp123]

@@fidelcastro2210 a lot of people can't connect the dots and explain stuff like he can

[@jackstarc111]

@@Zephyrion__ yea I know thats why I said he deserves it lol

[@alanb02]

I legit came back to this video, PNB got shot. Atlantic finna get those boost off his records like crazy and not give his ppl a dime unless he got his money right.

[@BoskoShabazz]

Ak a smart dude

[@AudioHittaz]

Ak be on it 🤯

[@jmoney1139]

Great content Ak 🔥 really enjoy how you break it down and educate us on these topics

[@TheMactone]

14:40 “Goldman Snacks” 😂😂😂 fat Ak

[@delanobeek]

I caught that. I was rolling 😂

[@martinmiramontes1067]

Hey ak keep posting good videos, when you talk about the industry from an insiders perspective it really opens up and makes me think about thing I had never tough about what goes down behind closed doors and in the business rooms

[@S_C_]

WMG bought 300 Ent., which from inception markets itself as an “independent” record label. They are not. They are still owned by WMG. Wouldn’t be surprised if they just move some of the artists over there.

[@kevingordon-cruz202]

I was just saying, Atlantic been over 300. They just acquired the whole thing now

[@kevingordon-cruz202]

Because if I’m not mistaking Young Thug, Gunna, Megan all been Atlantic

[@theanalogcirclepodcast.9416]

Yo AK this is the type of content that has value. The business side always gives light on why things happen with the artist. Keep it up AK.

[@denisebailey1698]

Hope they drop carbi cause she's not talented and she cost them too much money...girl bye!

[@frankreyes7938]

Atlantic ain’t gonna drop their cash cow. I’m sure Atlantic is making money of her other than music. She has a lot of endevours and they take a cut. Also cardi can have a cheat code if she does a reggaeton song with a reggaeton artist. She basically on a cheat code

[@jayjai6914]

Ak be breaking shit down like a key of coke

[@a1juni]

this video was informative i wanna up my knowledge on business in general as well as the music business as tbh i don't think my knowledge on business is the best but im gonna try and get into it, appreciate u for this gem AK

[@DeeWileSativa]

Ak be in his bag when he speak on this type of content! 🔥 🔥

[@Afrikantk]

Hopefully this enlightens some folks.

[@tannada1]

We need these videos bro

[@rileyhamilton4492]

Atlantic is selling debt to the public,and that’s bad at the moment because we are in a recession. If most of these record labels are selling their debt then they are in trouble right now. Keep in mind that most are these companies are doing margin calls (loans with an interest rate)and if the stock is free falling which most of these companies are ,you can expect a bankruptcy.

[@praywithjordan]

show business : what are you willing to -show and what's the -business behind it 🎸

[@BigKittenBonez]

Ak swear he sounded so smart and think his audience so dumb. Ak you wasn’t losing nobody when explaining shit but yourself lmao doing all that stopping for nothing

[@JB-sc3pm]

Nigga just watch the video weirdo

[@JnoEL1]

Mufukas ungrateful 😒

[@Rl-jd8lh]

Yall slow, a lot of younger ppl listen to him so. He breaks it down. If that hurts u then don't watch

[@rileyhamilton4492]

IPO means initial public offering,meaning it will be listed on the stock market. Allowing the company to raise money from investors.

[@GuddafrmDa4]

If a young boy is signed to AtLan his crew most likely QR ,NoC gonna be under the same label

Yo AK, aren't record contracts similar to nfl contracts? For example, you can get signed to a huge deal but it doesn't mean you'll ever get that full amount.

[@SntchKiller]

It depends if KPI’s are attached to it
