The problem is that no one really know what a actual song or a stream is worth. Back in the day, tapes and cds, etc.. actually was a product that was sold so that validated worth. 🤷🏾♂️
The way society is going with social media, needing constant validation, and people being fake as honestly horrifying to me. I have a friend who is a producer and he straight up told me that some of the people that come in there come in there, and just record tick-tock’s. I’ve also heard another producer say this. People are in there for a social media, not really to create. They just want the attention. It’s getting weird.
WHAT'S WEIRD ABOUT GETTING ATTENTION + GOING VIRAL .........??? THAT'S HOW YOU GET PAID IN THIS DIGITAL WORLD 🌍 WE LIVE IN .........!!! EVERYONE IN BUSINESS NEEDS ATTENTION IT'S CALLED ADVERTISEMENT ........ THAT HOW YOU DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BUSINESS . . . . WHICH EQUALS MONEY 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵
That is correct!! However, what about folk who don't care to get paid & never wanted a dime from posting & going viral? It's because they crave/love/desire/need all of the attention they receive!!! Chuck D said it like over a decade ago that "ATTENTION IS THE NEW CURRENCY" and he ain't ever lied!!!
this is genuinely one of the most informative videos i’ve ever seen. i was deadass glued to the screen the entire time and genuinely felt like i learned a lot of things i didn’t know, please make this a series man we need more of this
Peace Bro thanks for the info also I want to add on that the record labels operate like the mob , some of the practices that they use is how mobster get money also i was wondering if i can interview u on my show , I speak on business , entertainment and self awareness
NEED PART 2! PLZ!!! im trying to start a label because I know too many talented people! I only want my friends to reach their dreams and I want to do it completely differently from the standard practices. Thank you for the exposure.
This was extremely informative and revealing wasn’t aware of all these practices being used. Makes sense but wow 🤯 thank you for taking the time to put this video together and breaking it down. 🙏
Yeah, you aren't going to ever find many that will give a peek behind the curtain like this, in such a sober, non sensationalized manner, with the material motives and means as a focus. It's usually "they're sacrificing their friggin families!" and "best actress's!? That's actually a dude - it's best actor!" type silliness
I've learned so much from watching your videos! Definitely looking forward to part 2! I've started registering all of my works, retaining ownership, and now I'm looking more into the business end to see how things actually work. This video came at the perfect time!
SPOT ON My Boi💯 I realized this while in Music Business Management & Engineering College. Major Labels are the banks, the digital distributors are the middle men & the marketing schemes are the phony carnival mirrors! Its severely unstable, deceitful & can rob actual talented musicians of their passion for the art. It's why Rihanna ain't into music no more but business, to clear old advances, label recoupments & free herself up from the industry while she's still young. Michael & Prince knew what they were talking about & were eliminated for going against the Oligarchs!
@@NickGenovese I built relationships in sync licensing, once I built up my resume, I then built up my own community, branded myself authentically, then diversified my income beyond sync licensing by teaching a production course.
Fantastic tutorial! Definitely a cautionary tale and should be a mandatory course for those seeking a major label record deal. It's not just all about creating quality art. You use this use this business knowledge to protect yourself and the artistic work that you have created!😮
yo game do you remember "Chart Hyping" ? this is the modern version of it. Back in the day, labels would put out physical copies of the music {Vinyls & CD} and send their own staff to go round and purchase all the remaining copies from all the record stores to make it seem like their artists had sold more than they actually did. Just to create the illusion of success.
Great content man. Looking forward to your part 2. The truth always prevails as most all things are covered and coated with lies and deception. Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
Definitely, and it takes a true visionary to actually start seeing the illusions as the props they are, and perceiving the systems of reality for what they really are, and how their mechanisms of control are manipulated
I normally don’t comment bro so when I do it’s 💯 You took this information to the next level a lot of people are just regurgitating stuff, but you broke it down. Please do a part 2 when time permits 💪
You the future for all these young producers like me, would appreciate you to keep dropping knowledge OG, you gonna be the building blocks to new forms of business 🙏
FREE GAME!!! I been watching your tutorials since I was in high school learned a ton and have been in a lot of bs with being a producer unfortunately. I’d like to come on and speak about the bs going on in the industry!
And now they shadow barning and buying out the real talent , we need independent society to unite. Real music can be realized once this toxicity is eliminated
These tricks also work in the opposite direction... When the gatekeepers don't want your content to grow or reach a greater audience, they set into motion trickery to keep organic growth at a limit. The whole system needs to be rehauled.
Dude , i cant believe you still at it. I still use your chord building method, and it took me far. That was years ago. And here you are still working, thanks for putting me on game! MUCH LOVE BRO!
Way ahead of you brother keep preaching the truth we hear you and support keep going teach the youth people is zombies they need truth so keep speaking facts 💯
Wooooow… Jules were dropped! I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, or should I say exposè. You definitely got a new subscriber in me, looking forward to what you got coming!
I love it when a teacher happily laments there's so much to teach us. Well teach me! The business side of the industry and my knowledge of it is baseless except for historical accounts and the unbelieveable stories I'm told about the epic and vast preversion and unbridled greed permeats the roots and foundations of the institution. I studied music theory in high school and vocal performance/theory in college. I tought piano and theory when i was in my 20's; i've performed in many amazing situations and Ive been composing since i was 6. Now I want to do something different; something that doesnt include 'selling my soul' to a den of thieves in order for me to get off of the current plateau. Full disclosue: i'm bored and cranky now that i'm older; the soul selling thing may be a fitting option during these dark times. At least it's something I haven't done yet.
The music industry is run on ponzi schemes within pyramid schemes within multi level marketing within ponzi schemes within... What's even crazier is that there's so many other 'perceived as legitimate' markets that are also just pyramid/ponzi scheme bullkakke, most people just never realize it because business markets are never referred to as such, nor have their operational techniques discussed, by media sources, and the public has been conditioned to find economic topics instantly boring and off-putting
The music industry is actually run on money laundering! Criminals funnel their illicitedly gained money into record companies and music artists in the form of ticket sales or album sales, and they get percentage of the money back after it is "cleaned".
I don't know the demographic of your other viewers but I have to say I love listening to you talk. I can feel the interest and great deal of understanding. . My only wish Is that you wouldn't hold back and let your mind branch off as much as you want. This is is stuff all aspiring people who are entering the industry should know, and you words carry validity.
I like this video. And you know the sad a part about you telling folks that the music business is not lotto. They’re still going to play the game, instead of doing the work to grow their actual business. 🤷🏽♂️
I'm for ever grateful for all your mentoring all these years your a 🐐 and a pioneer in the Music Business thanks please keep up the amazing Legacy 🙏💯👍✌️❤️😎🎙️🎤🎹💪💰📀💿🥁
I never believed for a second some random rapper from their bedroom with a laptop just blew up like it seems they do not. It’s ridiculous.

I appreciate you for sharing this out, Busy! Ready to see part 2 while you pull back the curtain on these traps called "The Music Industry!"
Very informative! Want to see part 2 asap! Thanks for your time!

Please do a part 2. I an aspiring artist and I want to learn the game before I play. Keep grinding mn . You providing real value and gems 💪
One of the realest videos ever! As a DJ/musician producer, athlete and more!
Keep doing these videos. I knew this would be tough, but I gotta keep moving. Welp, like DMX said, "The Industry."
yo game do you remember "Chart Hyping" ? this is the modern version of it.

Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
Definitely, and it takes a true visionary to actually start seeing the illusions as the props they are, and perceiving the systems of reality for what they really are, and how their mechanisms of control are manipulated
This needs to be like a 10 part course!!!!
