Some good ol' hip hop check it(custom Made)
I love the lyricism - A+! The dude that spits at around 2:30min mark is pure fire. Crazy, I know exactly where some of that shit is filmed, many a drunk night stumbling through dem streets of Hollywood. -
EMI’s New Boss Sees Cracks in Music World
He's a realist. He hired Google's former head of technology for a reason. I think Google is going to do some form of merger or buyout with EMI. EMI can't survive by itself - and the fucks that used to run it were running it into the ground anyway. He's a "Venture Capitalist" and he owns a... -

so wrong
Trust? As everyone else said, you can't trust others 100%. But when you show vulnerability- you get some rewards (like being in love.) But, when the relationship is done, the trust seemed stupid, didn't it? It's tough... I'm pretty sure your friend showed signs of envy or whatever it is...- God

This reminds me of the movie "Runaway Jury" with Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman.- God

Hulk/Edward Norton - an artist fighting against the Hollywood system
... or something like that. Damn hangover makes me incapable of writing good headlines. I read this in the L.A. Times a while back, and heard some people talking about it. Props to Edward Norton for not being pushed around like a bitch by the movie studios and directors. I always liked him...- God

Should a CD have more or less
Chrono, You're right. In anything, like a business deal or this matter regarding a CD strategy. Artists are usually in the worst position to create a strategic business plan for their music, let alone do many of the other things that require objectivity and calculation in order to maximize... -
Should a CD have more or less
Any real fanbase gives you leverage in a negotiation - by creating a sense of "waiting" and some form of buzz with a singles release schedule - you are in a better position to negotiate. So Chrono makes a good point. -
Should a CD have more or less
I agree with you dreampolice. To categorize Mark Cuban as "crazy" may be right - but it's specifically that "craziness" that made him think outside the box and first sell a computer retailing company for millions of dollars by the age of 29. Then he was "crazy" to start Broadcast.com and... -
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 3
We've been listening to this and I hate to say it. This album might go 4x platinum -- easy. Every track is solid enough, a consistency similar to 50's first major label debut. The hype is there, the planets are aligned. I hate to say it, I really do. What do u think? -
Should a CD have more or less
It is market saturation, but an odd kind of saturation... follow me: 1. Cheap software gave every knucklehead with musical ambition the opportunity to "produce" hiphop tracks. 2. This led to a mass "democratization" of music. 3. This led to more "producers" on the market. 4. The more... -
Should a CD have more or less
It's not like R&D because your successful artist (of the 5% that bring profit) maybe half of those will have a career longer than three years. That's 2.5% of all artists having a career of more than three years that is profitable to the RECORD COMPANY that initially signs him/her (not... -
Should a CD have more or less
Unilever makes soap and detergent. Let me guess - the other huge multinational presence is Colgate-Palmolive. They make toothpaste and more soap. Wait - let me guess there's another huge multinational there - CocaCola? The strength of intellectual property is the legal structure of the... -
Should a CD have more or less
I think the analogy is wrong. I also don't like the fact that albums may be "non-existent." I believe, to a point, that a lot of rock albums go to the 11 song limit because that's the maximum an original songwriter like a band, can get from an album regarding legally protected royalty... -

Ha. Man, didn't mean to offend cats. But read the article. Dude has a point. -
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 3
I think a lot of his success has to do with Weezy being able to guest appear on a slew of hits last year. That raised his profile to an unprecedented level. Then, the record execs could use that "momentum" and leverage it into press coverage which turns into "hype." From an artistic... -

whats a good percentage amount for royalties n stuff
Dude - first of all - who the fuck knows if the song sucks? Why are you letting the artist frame the negotiation where you capitulate half already? What if the song is good - you're making the artist better - don't sell yourself short. Just say some shit like "you'll figure it out" and keep...
