Part 1: • Illmind on Kanye Givin...
--------
In this clip, Illmind reflects back on signing a publishing deal that he should not have signed back in 2010. The iconic record producer states that the he signed the contract out of desperation because he needed the money. He also shares that anyone who intends on signing a publishing deal should get a lawyer first. From there, the New Jersey native reveals that he used to sell hip-hop beats for $25-50 before sharing that he now charges $50,000 per beat. This prompts Shirley Ju to ask the record producer how the track that he created for "The Morning" landed on the radar of Kanye West. To that, Illmind details the events leading up to the epic collaboration for the "Cruel Summer" compilation album and the doors that opened for him in the music industry afterwards. The 41-year-old then shares his feelings on Kanye West, the artist/producer before explaining why he looks up to him so much as a creator. Moving along, Illmind talks about being on one the first music producers to release his own brand of sound packs (back in 2012) for musicians to use with their production software. Lastly, Illmind gives the origin story for how he earned his stage name.

Well this part 2 so hopefully u won’t check out anymore

[@Unknownoneforever]

I just think she approaches things from more of a conversational standpoint vs an interview standpoint where you have an etiquette where you ask the question and you let the guest respond. The people are here to listen to the guest. It just seems like there's a lot of chiming in and saying "for sure" "really!?" and all these adlibs and it's like I get being excited to speak with people and i'm not trying to knock her but for the viewer it can be distracting and take away from the interview. She has improved on this though because one of them first interviews she kept saying "for sure" constantly and people were livid in the comments.

Invest in a good lawyer and you’ll never sign any bad deal🔥🔥🔥

[@RealDealy]

Nope! Some lawyers will still snake you cause they want to work with the label you’re signing too! If they go against what the label wants, that label may never work with them again during negotiations You should still read your own contracts cause you never know who will snake you

[@925twaun]

@@RealDealy that’s true that’s why u not supposed to use their lawyer’s from the record label but a good one that actually does right by people but I get where your coming from !

[@RealDealy]

@@925twaun I’m talking bout lawyers NOT connected to the label The game is dirty, only people who survive it are the ones who join the sharks or they just play the game outside of the pool of sharks, protect themselves, and live good
