Topic: Top Reasons not to sign to a major label
- Oct 25, 2007 12:46pm by DjShad
I saw this on another website
1. AFTERMATH/SHADY/GUNIT- THEY PROBADLY GOT THE MOST TALENTED ROSTER, BUT ON AVERAGE THEY DROP LIKE 2 ALBUMS A YEAR. IN CHARLIE MURPHY VOICE "WE GOTS TO DO BETTER"
2. DEF JAM- EVERY RAPPER COMING UP WANTED TO SIGN TO DEF JAM. ITS HISTORIC. BUT NOWADAYS, LA REID IS A R&B MAN NOT HIP-HOP, YOU SEE HOW RHINNA AND NEYO ARE HAVING GOOD SUCESS. AND JAYZ ANYTIME YOU CEO SAY THIS STATEMENT(ON JOE BUDDENS RELEASE FROM THE LABEL) "I DONT KNOW HOW TO MARKET HIM, OR HOW TO PUT HIM OUT(SOMETHING IN THAT NATURE)" THEN YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TOOK THE JOB, AND YOU DONT WANT TO WORK FOR SOMEONE THAT DOESNT KNOW WHAT THIER DOING. RUSH PLEASE COME BACK AND RESTORE YOUR LABEL.
3. ANY NBA/NFL PLAYER THAT STARTS HIS OWN LABEL.- DO I REALLY NEED TO SAY SOMETHING HERE?
4. CASH MONEY/NO LIMIT- TO ME ITS THE SAME LABEL, FATHER & SON, ALL THEY ARE NOW DOING IS GOING BACK IN FORTH IN DROPPING ALBUMS FATHER THEN SON. NAME SOME ACTS ON THE LABELS OTHER THAN THE FATHER AND SON.
5. ANY RAPPER THAT GETS A LABEL DEAL AFTER THEIR 1ST ALBUM- ALL YOU WILL EVER BE IS A HYPE MAN TO THAT ARTIST, IF YOUR LUCKY PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY KNOW YOUR NAME, IF YOU REALLY GOT SKILLS, THOSE SAME PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO SEE YOUR ALBUM COME OUT. OTHER THAN THAT, JUST RIDE THAT ARTISTS TAIL, AND COLLECT A CHECK.
