Part 17: • Akon: Michael Jackson ...
Part 19: • Akon on Why He Didn't ...
Part 1: • Akon on Africa's Akon ...
--------
In this clip, Akon talked about being offered over $100 million for his music catalog and turning it down. This spun into a larger conversation about the pros and cons of selling publishing and why most artists should sell if given the opportunity. However, for writers and producers, Akon said it’s different as those people are more in the arena of producing content which could prove detrimental if publishing rights are given up.
Bro, How Vlad NEVER CEASES To Flip A Conversation On To Him Is INSANE! Like Bro...
That shit is a skill to me, being THAT self conceited as an INTERVIEWER………
He’s just trying to make the conversation relatable calm down
Vlad putting himself in is like tk saying he's at every event in history. You know its gonna happen
Hes Insecure af, most people with money are
shit is so annoying. its okay every once & while but if you watch vlad consistently he does this very often
I like how Akon doesn’t discuss his pockets. That’s how you have to be.
Yeah because ppl will just get jealous
Bro fc that how much you got???
@@GORILLA_PIMP lol
He has several wives and kids. It could cost him!
@@nothembajozi2862 bingo lol
Vlad just needs to interview himself
Omg, so hopefully he'll stfu and let other people talk.
He does… all the time
😂😂😂
lol at this point he definitely need to interview himself.
Right
Akon is smart his catalogue is not just his music alone he also owns music by lady Gaga who was super big at one points it’s definitely worth over 100million easy
I forgot he had lady Gaga sheesh. Yeah I wouldn’t want to rap either.
@@Damari90 and t pain
@@allcinionexplainsitall5869 facts his catalog is crazy too
The longer he holds on to his catalog the more it's worth in the future plus Akon already wealthy not Rich wealthy big difference still worth over 100 million 4sure
@@Damari90 yeah fr
Whoever needs to hear this just wanna tell y’all that.. no matter how hard life gets keep going, prideful men like myself understand it’s ok to cry if you need to let it out. You all matter to me even tho I don’t know you guys. Peace ☮️
Thanks bro
Come on preach 🤧
Bro im bout to cry for real right now!
I just got out the shower an i think i gotta take ANOTHER chit!!
An these chimichangas ain't helpin!!!
@@GORILLA_PIMP lol
@@GORILLA_PIMP let it out bro 😅😂
The way Vlad cuts ppl off to illustrate his unwanted anecdote is masterful
Vlad Always Finds A Way To Put Himself In The Convo!! 😂😂😂
Always have same or similar experience.
Always giving out worthless tips
Why doesn’t he speak on his stock portfolio anymore?
vlad is the topper always trying to top your story and turn into a self bragging moment
Himself ( what wrong with American education these days)
His been everywhere even at biggies wedding with faith 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Big Ups to Akon for protecting Michael Jacksons Legacy, Big Ups to Akon for exposing the realities of the industry in such a bold way,… Akon is a Lion 🦁
Music is timeless. I don't know why successful artists sell their catalog. You never know when a song with hit again in a bigger situation like a commercial or movie. This is a good conversation.
Vlad just can’t ask the questions without saying “me too”
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Definitely a high level conversation. This is the type of convo I’m interested in.
This was an educative interview, I appreciate man
Would have been more educative if Vlad learnt how to shut the hell up
@@DJTUK but his input was as informative tho
on this episode of vlad makes this about himself, we find a wild vlad talking about selling HIS catalog
Akon, a sharp brotha 🙏🏾✊🏿🤴🏾
Akon a lya..lol, where the video of his city he building, how much interest does he owe china, he ain't turned down 100 million when his catalog isn't owned by him, interscope owns half and it's worth 25 million or less...toodles
Akon ahead of the game bringing the value a catalogue will have in the Metaverse
Sounded like Vlad forgot who was the interviewer.😂
Vlad just need to interview himself 😭😂🤣
He ain’t lying Akons catalog mad long and solid
@Northside 5000 in the long run yes
@Northside 5000 yes it is jealous 🤣🤣
Sounds sus bro🤣🤣🤣 long and solid
🤦🏿😂😂😂
@Northside 5000
Oh just till inflation REALLY kick in homey
His chit gonna be worth quadzillions!!!
Crazy hearing people with money talk like that I’m only 21 and if I could spin a month with Akon watch how he move who he talk to how he handle business man oh man
Dam Vlad stop cutting him off we want to hear akon speak man god damn
I hate that shit
Everything that glitter ain't gold. Props to Akon for not selling off his catalog 💯
Akon right. An artist catalog is what how they make money for life depending on if they write, produce, EP n so on……
Video title: Why Akon turned down $100m offer.
Actual content in the video: Why VLAD turned down $100m offer.
there's a difference between selling your publishing and hiring a publishing company. the company has better resources to get your song in movies, tv, games, commercials, etc than you probably do or you might just not even wanna fuck with it and just get your 80% cut.
if you sell your publishing you get one lump sum payment up front. also if you sell your publishing you stop getting paid for radio play since that's paid on the written work of a song.
Facts. You can only get paid for performing the music, which is why some artists be performing till they late 70’s. The goal is to sit back and watch your music make money for generations forward.
Future at almost 40 just sold his publishing, but he’s still in his prime, if he makes better music form now on going forward than he did previously it will be a great investment but if not, then he will be performing till late age.
@@HooodClassicsTV i personally think it was a bad idea for him to sell it I think he should’ve given it to his children he’s got like 10 or something I doubt he will be poppin when he’s 50 he better invest or use that money to start a company of his own
@@Bossdonbigga publishing are not masters, publishing are the monétisation right to get paid so whatever the songs make u make. Masters recordings you can decide who can use the songs or songs for commercials movies short movies show etc future owns part of his masters recordings 😊
@@Bossdonbigga yeah he’s going to have to make a new catalog from now till he’s 50 which I doubt can top the likes of ‘Mask Off’, ‘Codeine crazy’, ‘March Madness’, etc.
@@keezemojito1278 yes he still owns part of his masters but publishing is what he sold off if I’m correct
0:43 dead silence when Akon said "BILLIONS" 😆
I definitely believe your catalog is for sure for sure a billion, if not more!!
Gah damn vlad let him finish a sentence
Nice interview Akon you are a great listener
Vladimir’s audio in his videos is A+
Nobody wants to see us together but it don't matter no, (cause I got you, babe) this man will be making money forever 🔥😎
Akon look like the actor who plays Adebisi, from the HBO classic prison series, Oz
👀💯💯😭🤣🤣🤣💀
You gotta be a triple OG to catch what you said lol
Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje.
@@hamshank8892 Right Hahahaha 😁🙌🏽
@@triplebeans4159 Yup him 👍
…and to think- it all started with a car theft ring 🤥
Exactly! This guy has been a chronic lair since day one. But very soon he’ll have a whole city, “would you like to invest?” Lol and people believe him. Like he really turned down $100 million on the downside of his career. At least he was upfront when he said he’s A Con.
Vlad!! When are you going to create a subscription level where you just talk business With the guest? I would gladly pay for that.
Vlad just needs to interview Vlad about Vlad in regard to Vlad concerning Vlad
Akon buggin for thinking his shit worth BILLIONS 🤣🤣
You must be 20
@@deander7653 😂😂😂😂
Vladimir always finds a way to talk about himself.
People in the comments saying Akon is 🧢 is the reason Y'all never reach his level in life he has more experience in the music industry. Litsen insted of just hating.
Black ppl stay jealous that’s why
This younger generation don’t know how big of songs he has they just go off this interview and says he’s cap and don’t know the intricate details to the music industry
@@montlee1990 Facts 💯
Vlad wants everyone to know that he's on par with most of these artists
He isn't.
Lol 😂 he’s far from it
Buy Borrow Die system to wealth.
1) Buy and Build assets (stocks, real estate, businesses, music, intellectual property, life insurance)
2) Borrow against your assets with low interest loans to get tax free money (like cash out refinance of your house)
3) Use that money to enjoy life or buy more assets
4) When you die in 20-50 years, your heirs will settle your debts with your assets. Assets that have appreciated, compounded, and grown over 20-50 years.
5) Your heirs start their cycle of Buy, Borrow, ans Die to grow the family's wealth further.
With the way music is nowadays old is gold
I don’t think it’s a purpose to sell his catalog cuz he’s not making anymore music. (I think)
On top of that I’m pretty sure he’s being asked to put his music in movies
He still makes music
@@josephdunn1999 ok bet
Why did wayne sell his catalog for 100 m n future sold his for 75 m?
Glad loves to talk about himself. 😔
Clown
Vlad always trying to compared his self to these great artist

Akon dont trust vlad and treats him how he should 💯
Right
Vlad. Nobody ain't Never ask you a single question, why you always answering questions ❓
I wonder who grew Akon hair for him?? 🤔
👀🤭🤣🤣🤣😭💀
@Ron Uncle Clifford is back out the hospital i see 🏥🧔🏿♀️💅🏿👀😄😄
Did someone fart 💨 2:00
It's strange how Metallica and only a dozen other artists own their catalogue while every other artist is selling their rights for the past for years.
Vlad will interview any one but make the interview about him
Vlad vlad vlad are you interviewing yourself? 😂😁😂😁
Like these new angles Vlad👏🏾
Wow. Someone was willing to pay $100 million just to own the rights to Smack That.
Camillionaire you see me rolling they hating ,riding dirty (4ever 💰 )
Akon
I know that's right Vlad!! I will keep my catalog too, it's making money, you live a very cushy life, you're able to provide tremendously for your family, and you're a smart businessman you know better. They think people in the hip hop community are stupid, money hungry, and willing to give up our content and catalog for a lil bit of nothing!!
The reason the RUclipsrs are getting more than artist is because the Musicians let the labels find other outlets of making money than the art. When we don't speak against cornball-ish, cornball-ish is what gets fed to te masses and the when masses says it's good, you don't need good quality music. But the RUclips game is oversaturated, a lot of it is who pops, & who's still standing because a lot of Big RUclipsrs fell off for something they did, or change in demeanor over time.
RUclipsrs don't get 80 percent of their money from RUclips its from companies that offer their products to youtubers
Smart, couse we all know that if someone offer you like 1e it wil definitely is worth atleast 3e
Thanks for the video, DJVLAD
Akon should have been the new Black Panther. Bro built like Batman and he building his own city. Superhero shi
Talk truth
💯
BABY GOT BACK...................WAS A GAME BREAKER..........
Akon is a businessman 1st before musician
Vlad got that NFL Stadium camera view now. Damn.
Vlad waiting for the police to give him an offer for his catalog.
What catalog. Only song I ever heard was locked up
I read somewhere that Akon is mixed with "Just for me". Boy got a perm and a hot comb in the same day.
Akon vs 50 cent after that tpain jermaine diddy
That lace front 😪🫠🫠🫠🤣🥹
I trust him
Mann we can learn from alot from just listening to these guys
Mama checkout this new step I made this one up just for you, Nooooo Noooo Mama's here
😡👨🏿🦳💥🧟♂️😵👵🏾😱😭
I have no idea what music is worth I heard about Superstars selling their catalogs - David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, paul simon, bob dylan, stevie nicks, neil young,
Bruce sold his entire back catalog for 500 million! I just heard Akon say he believes his catalog is worth billions!
sorry, maybe I am old, I am 47 and maybe I don't know about Akon,, but Is Akon bigger than the boss? sorry I don't know..maybe he is, I just dont know.
I know Bruce packs outs ARENAS! GLOBALLY... does 3 hour shows and the guy has been doing this since the 70s! and he has countless albums and countless hits.
his catalog was worth 500 million .. so AKON was already offered 100 million ( so thats 20% of bruces ) but Akon believes his is worth billions.. with an S..
so 2 or 4 times that of bruce springsteen!!
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!!! ---------------------- the BOSS!!!
ok...
PHIL COLLINS! from the band GENESIS - sorry if many young people reading this don't know who BRUCE , or Phil or BOB Dylan are..
but trust me.. SUPER STARS - LEGEND status artists from your fathers generation..
Phil sold his for 300 million... Concord music
NIEL DIAMOND - 300 million.. Universal paid - then HIPGNOSIS paid 150 million for 50%
red hot chilli peppers - 140 million (hipgnosis
David guetta - 100 million... IM sure young clubbers know him...
now Luther vandross -- an artist people worldwide know... is AKON more famous than Luther? does AKON have more hits than Luther? sold for 40 million...to primary wave
motley crew - 90 million
JAMES BROWN!!!! - -- JAMES BROWN!!!! ----- 90 million!!!!!! is AKON on JAMES BROWN LEVEL? hey I dont know... IM asking you guys...
ZZTOP - 50 million....
DAVID BOWIE - 250 million...
STING - you know STING right... the police... STING.... another LEGEND.... 300 million... so again, AKON is bigger than STING... let me know...
HUEY LEWISH and the NEWS - 20 million... ( quite a low number compared to some other artsts and they were HUGE in the 80s...
TINA TURNER --- TINA!!!!! ---- 50 million...... is AKON at TINAS LEVEL??? hey again.. I don't know.. please leave a comment...
BING CROSBY - for all you who don't know.. BING is considered one of the top 5 SUPER STAR solo music performers of the 20th century ( AL JOLSON, BING CROSBY, ELVIS PRESLEY, FRANK SINATRA AND MICHAEL JACKSON ) yes, TOP 5 artists of all time... 50 million for a stake in his estate!! one of the TOP 5 of all time....
again, AKON is in that group? worldwide house hold name for 5 generations? hey, I don't know.. maybe he is,..
PRINCE!!! the artist formally known as.. etc... you know PRINCE!!! yeah, that legend.. his estate was valued at somewhere between 100 - 300 million.. not sure what his rights finally sold for..
but estaimates are close to 150.. and thats for only 50%!!! so PRINCE... party likes its 1999 and little red corvette.. you know that PRINCE!! yeah SUPER STAR.. 300 million...
according to AKON, AKON is worth 5 times that of Prince... hey again.. I DON'T KNOW.. sorry.. please tell me ..
THE BEACH BOYS!! you know.. those white boys from caliifornia.. yeah you heard of them right?? yeah ask your grandparents! or your dad.. HUGE!! ---- 100 million...
anyway, I could go on and on... maybe I am old.. maybe I am out of the game. because I have my radio locked to the hits of the 80s and 90s..
maybe AKON is a super star but I just don't know.. but to be worth billions... would put him at Michael Jackons and the Beatles level!
maybe he is that famous... I just missed it...
Akon the boss
Vlad stay interviewing himself 😂
Vlad will sell once these artists become self-aware and reject his request to interrogate. Morpheus: "He's starting to believe." - The Matrix (1999)
I feel like sometimes vlad has people come in and asks them questions just so he can talk.
Future just took 80 million for
His catalog just Licensed
Only till 2020 anything after that is still his
He turned down for an offer that never existed....
How would you know
Damn y’all stay jealous because y’all have nothing
basically
I couldn't tell you one song by this dude
so if he sold his catalog, then would that mean he gets 100 m but his royalty money goes to someone else now?
Good shit here. Dropping knowledge
Mr. Me too got offers
Future sold his catalog for 65 million. Akin bigger than. Future remember that. Dude did songs with Michael Jackson. It don’t suprise me his shit bigger and can be sold for 100 mill
Vlad: “Well I’ve gotten offers”…… Yes Vlad we know… 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Vlad catalog is huge
Biiiiiiiiig 🧢
👀👀👀 THEY after AKON now 😔😔😔 hope he not next to go 🕊🕊
Who wanted to buy it, and how can you buy it?????
So everyone took the cheese 3xcept vladdy
Why not just cut the hair Akon
This Vlad guy must give people a chance to talk,he's always jumping in on their responses,we dont want to hear what he does or whatever..
He turned it down as it wasn’t worth more than $20 million & would never have got $100 million as soon as someone looked into it they would know he’s worth less than 50% of what he says he’s worth
Sellin' his catalog won't be a smart move. He's smarter than that.
lit ep.
Vlad gotta include himself in every fucking thing it’s ridiculous 😂. Especially when he’s tryna relate to ppl of hip hop, like c’mon man just ask the questions man damn
Vlad is developing a bad habit of talking over his guests, which I feel he didn't do much in the past. To the point where it sounds like he is screaming over them to make a point. He is also tying himself into a lot of these conversations. I feel like I hear him talking more about himself these days than the actual guest. That happens during a natural conversation, but in this interview format, it just feels strange. I don't dislike him or his interviews, so I'm not trying to be nasty, just a tiny observation/critique. Wish he would stop.
Akon look like Simon Adebesi from OZ. Especially now he look yoked up.
I hate it when the double team stars players at the end of the games it just almost a coward move
Clicked on this video expecting to hear Akon's perspective but Vlad is just waffling over everything!
why does Vladimir out talk and shout louder when his guest try to talk. is he high on coffee or redbull
