Valuable information! Most people (artists) hear stories of people owning their masters but do they know the importance of owning them and how to make them valuable
@@balldontlie4057 - Masters are the original music, if someone else owns it (record labels), the record label gets paid if someone wasn’t to sample the music!

This is too deep. Demond Wilson recently said America is a Corporation. The name of the game is monitization...He understood Lupe was ignorant to how to best capitalize on HIS own asset. & That's how the ignorant get played in this land.
They can make them worthless. When you get outside of the world of rap, the main reason the bands hold onto their masters or fight for them is to make less money, not more. If you're Radiohead you don't want your music appearing in an advert for blood diamonds, no matter how much money they offer. Lupe even admits it in this video, to make the MOST money, you will need to go to another company for them to sell them. Rappers usually want the masters because they hear their songs everywhere, and want a better cut, same with taylor swift etc. But the reality is, for lupe, unless he has a plan to push his own records better than the record label is doing, then they are worthless, no one in hollywood is going to go search for lupe fiascos home phone number to ask him can they use his song, they will just look through their list of music they can easily use. But dont be confused, Jay-z is not making as much money from his masters as he could be.
You missed his point. Doesn’t matter if you own your masters and you don’t have the business acumen or knowledge to monetize them. Sure owning them is one thing, but being able to leverage them alongside your brand and find the proper channels to get your music in front of your audience isn’t that easy… This is why record labels became so pervasive and monopolized the industry because they own all the distribution and licensing companies…. Being 100% independent is not easy and it COSTS money just like any other business

Lupe is my favorite Lyricist of all time dude is on another level and I think without this 360 deal he could have been much bigger because he dropped two dope albums out the gate
100% true. Some artists don’t _need_ their masters because they don’t have the knowledge, connections, or business acumen to actually do anything with them. In those cases it’s better if they negotiate a contract that lets their label keep the masters and they just get a lot of royalties and residuals
nah, you always want your masters. a song you did 20 yrs ago can blow up today and you wouldn't get shyt from it if you don't own your masters. they can use your art for whatever and profit from it.
The problem is the other side is incentivised not negotiate a fair deal. It's the other way they want to take as much as possible. Take your masters and learn as well as pay people who work for you.
@@darrellwilliams1714 it's a much harder serve, when "asked" condescendingly, them being sure of your ignorance, to throw in their face that you knew EXACTLY how to monetize the masters and didn't need the parasite middle man at all. A total power move
No, you wouldn't have. Not at all. Please find the flaw in that statement & attempt to Add Value to it. It's levels to attenpt to license & sell something that is "yours" simply because it's "yours".
It wasn’t dumb of him to ask for them with or without a plan. They’re his and whether he sits on em til forever or if ppl sample his music it’s still money in his pocket for when HE needs it. Ppl sampling now without permission. Better ask Rod Wave and Boosie
Only rookies think owning your masters is essential. If you argue for your masters without sales then the label will 100% shelve you because they’re not making money anyway. If you leave the label with your masters and let the label build and promote you you’ll sell 10x the records. The problem is kids listening to people like Russ (the poster child for “don’t sign”) who say you don’t need a label when not only did Russ always have ties to labels, his best year was when he was signed. These “independent” artists will tell you own everything when it’s not feasible. What they’ll promote is 100% of 100 sales is better than 10% of 100 when in reality if you were signed you’ll be getting 10% of 10,000 sales.
@@teeboz6237 yeah its different for everyone. I would say Vince Staples is probably the most sensible talking on being signed vs not.

@@teeboz6237you are the first person i ever seen talk about this topic logically. People dont know alot of licensing companies are partners with labels. Alot of these independent artists don't have hit songs that people want to licensing anyways.
Masters aren’t worthless if you don’t use them. The fact that you own you, and someone doesn’t own you, is enough in itself. You have the OPTION to do something with the masters which makes it worthwhile
He’s talking about Lyor Cohen CEO of Warner music group at the time and he was acting like he was for the artist back then which he was really not and if you remember Lupe Fiasco was protesting about this it on RUclips, and He protested in front of the Warner music group, offices with all his fans, and lyor cohen came down, playing his new music on a boombox radio like he was for Lupe Fiasco, but all the wild he was the one trying to give him the 360 deal that Lupe was complaining about and then he didn’t promote the album right and gave Lupe songs to b.o.b like the song “airplanes” and others songs that were for Lupe.
I don't care how low or high the artists sales are. They are more valuable in the artists possession. END OF STORY ! 17 yrs later give the man his masters.
that's just wrong. If anything, they're more valuable in a record label's possession. There's a reason why independent artists usually sell a whole lot less and it's not because they're worse artists. Lupe even told you in this short clip, they're only as valuable as what you're doing with them.
this was when Atlantic was renegotiating his deal to keep him longer. He’d already released 2 albums and they were offering him a 360 deal he didn’t want.
You don't "ask" for masters after you signed the contract & made the music. You have to put that in your contract before you make the music, otherwise the producers & studio owners own those songs.

It is a lot to have that explained to people like break it down 👍🏽
Cause owning your masters is worthless in a 360 deal
Yeah I didnt quite understand but this makes sense out of it for me.
No it’s not. A 360 deal is temporary, sure they profit from everything you do but not for the rest of your life. Owning your masters you own them forever

Yea worthless to the label
The deal ends eventually and he leaves with the masters lol

Fuck that. I may not know what to do with them right now, but I will figure it out, and plus they are MINE!!!
What you do with em is your business. If it’s yours you gotta claim it first, period. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise
Having them is a lot better than someone else having them and profiting from them. Think about it sir!
"Which he should've had"is the key point
Makes perfect sense. Idk if it’s better to just let them have it but it if you truly don’t know what to do with it, at least you can rely on the label’s guidance on how to maximize their use
Lupe fiasco salute brother ✊
One of my favorites. "You son of a bitch" lol. Top 5 to me
If it’s yours it’s yours. Lupe doesn’t owe anyone a thought out answer.
Most artist just want them cuz it’s their work fuk the money they put time in it n their kids can have them
KEEP your MASTER'S.......... FACTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........It will KEEP you PAID 4-LIFE......!!!!

Thank you Lupe ik now 💯💯
You live and you learn ❤
This guy is very smart. ❤
It's better to have them and not know what to do with them, than to not have them and know what to do with them.
