This industry is fucked yo. haha Best to stay indie.

Fair enough mate. Although it kind of hurts me a little bit that it wasn't just a case of you outsmarting me and making me change my name on a technicality.

Tbh what the fuck does a generic label even do anymore? Whenever I do shit like look up Black Wall Street or other labels, no one even released mixtapes under them.

Its gotten to the point the only thing labels do is record your music, shoot for the video , pay for this stuff percentage based, and take a huge cut of the profit. If you're with a big enough label their marketing may be better. But for the most part these labels under major labels want you to do all of the promotion yourself. Basically all the shit you can do for yourself they do haha.

But there's next to no one who makes a successful album. Hell no one's even releasing albums in the first place. So with a mixtape earning very little money, there being an extremely select few people releasing albums or having highly successful youtube music videos....where's the profit for the labels if they aren't major labels?

Why do labels pay for your recording time and shoot your videos if more often than not the majority of people aren't able to earn them a dime back, and the label isn't really even pushing out enough content? It's it all just one massive wager on a single person taking off?
