Squadgifts - Nice whatever color cancer sucks nfl denver broncos 2023 shirt

So this has been a fun little conversation that we’ve been having, but it’s time to stop. Rap is music. Often very high-level music. I appreciate that this issue gets a whole new segment of the Nice whatever color cancer sucks nfl denver broncos 2023 shirt Apart from…,I will love this population interested in becoming armchair music theorists, but this argument is totally racist nonsense. I spent 8 years working for Sony Music in the 90’s and also spent (at the same time) about 12 years in bands of one form or another. I’ve been signed, and I’ve been dropped. So, I’ll answer this question from that vantage.



For example, if the Nice whatever color cancer sucks nfl denver broncos 2023 shirt Apart from…,I will love this artist/band were cash poor and or had limited access to it’s own resources, then a major was a good choice (assuming there was an option for the band to sign with a major and they were deciding). A major label contract typically “fronted” the artist/band a certain % of $ in the form of an advance. That advance usually went toward new gear and other resources and then the remainder of the deal was splintered to needs such as marketing and promotion as well as distribution. But here was my favorite part. Those monies, all of them, were “recoupable”. A word that many musicians in the 80’s and 90’s (hell, the 50’s on up to today for that matter) had to learn. Typically those monies were tied to sales. And so, IF the artist/band met sales expectations, then sales beyond that point would go to the band at a %. But, “baby bands” (bands that are not established) would make on average .02-.04 cents on every sale, so income off of sales was rather dicey (still is). The bulk of an artist’s income usually comes from touring and merchandising. With that said, the majority of artists/bands in an average calendar year never met those expectations and found themselves in the ungodly position of owing their labels the difference of the contract, or at the worst, having to declare bankruptcy to get out of those conditions (more common than you would believe). Let’s not even discuss the ownership of the recordings that the label usually paid for. The smart bands would find ways to pay for their own records and simply license them to the major. But that’s another conversation altogether.
