Never sign to a label where the guys in charge are all active artists. They're too busy with their own career's to give you proper attention. It's extremely rare that artists develop in that kind of environment
I feel so bad for Kesha last I looked that situation up she was still fighting Dr.Luke and was still in the contract, she deserves so much more she had so much talent and just threw it all away because of the abuse, so sad
It's so sad how greed is the ruin of many things. This idiot would rather keep her in a bad contract and let her career die rather than renegotiate while she's a star and continue raking in millions under a lesser newer deal for a longer period of time. Now you use your own money in court and stopped money train and she will never get it back because of greed. It's like what Pierre sad with pissy pamper the demand for the sample is so ridiculously high it's not worth it and in the end the fans, the artist, and the sample owner don't win cuz one person was greedy
@@PRIDEATH Well yeah and greed isn't the main motivation here though, he raped her man, him keeping her under his thumb is the only way he can maintain power over her since the allegations came out

good video, but i feel like sky ferreira is missing from this list. basically, they wanted her to be the next britney spears, she rebeled, released a grunge rock record and is now locked in a contract she can't get out of
Every label, major or indie, from SST, Ardent, IRS Records to Arista, Warner Bros., Geffen, is going to screw with artists one way or another. But self-releasing and self-promoting music is also not easy, since labels have the money to do the marketing, even with the advent of technology in social media and marketing.
It's hard to picture the artists under the influence of anything that happened behind the scenes. I think Left Eye's passing is the most heartbreaking in relation to artists who were ruined by their careers.
I still listen to a bunch of Kesha’s songs when I’m in the mood for pop music….. and when TLC dropped that album in 99, I listened to the CD non stop for months and months… it was the soundtrack to my life when I was 13 🫶 and as an H3 fan, I love your shirt! God did!
The arson was actually the SECOND time she did it. She said in an interview that after they first time she did it, they replaced the tub with a fiberglass one that caught fire really quickly.
Right she'd already destroyed the first one but they were able to put it out. She was burning his tennis shoes 🤦🏾♀️ when the the 2nd one got destroyed.
If you want to see a group who managed to do it right, check out the Spice Girls origin story. They were originally created by a label/producer, who wanted to have total creative control, but they still learned how to write songs and stuff like that. While they were being develloped, they didn't have a contract so that the label didn't have to pay them and the girls could claim unemployment benefits from the state. They still did atleast one promo concert, where they managed to impress some important people and when the label that created them wanted them to basically be a kidzbob-version of themselves and offered them a contract that would have probably been close to what TLC got, one of the girls' fathers, who was a lawyer, checked the contract and told them not to sign it. The girls then stole the masters of the music they had created so far so that the original label couldn't release it and got in touch with one of the people they had impressed during their concert. Their first hit Wannabe wasn't written for them, they wrote it themselves.
“Unemployment benefits”?! Yeah no they were being paid as salaried employees and were not under contract. The walk out was staged so that they would become owners of the Spice Girls as a brand, which they did then receive.
These horror stories are pretty terrifying. The ways that people will use and abuse you for cash n clout are *INSANE* . Having trusted loved ones is such a blessing in that environment.
It's what happens to all KPop groups and happened to a lot of the boygroups in the late 1990s/early 2000s. TLC's contract really wasn't something unique.
@@ploppill34She was probably coerced into backtracking her statements. So, don't blame a victim for either not remembering, traumatic events cause your brain to shut off and go straight into survival mode.
Lupe Fiasco could be a mention. While his career is going good (and he’s doing what he loves), his career would have been far different if his label didn’t corporatize his music.
@@remyroland2424 Lupe's last album before it went public that his label was a POS did nearly 90k sales first week, no.5 on Billboard, all while being a conscious deep album following a mostly pop rap album.

He's doing okay still to this day but nowhere near as good as he would be doing if he were able to drop music the way he wanted to during what most people usually consider someone's artistic prime.
Atlantic gave him full control of his musical creativity tho, if not, he would've been another mumble rapper and back in the days, you guys were buying Nelly, Wayne and Chamillionaires albums over his because the bar was lowered for you guys. I can't blame the label for that. You guys have failed Lupe and Atlantic. @@MindFoolOfMusic
@remyroland2424 you're an idiot that doesn't deserve a genuine response. Do some actual research if you care. If you don't care, move along and shut up.
It's a shame that TLC was surrounded by people that kept them in the dark so to speak. No one ever explained that only two entities make money in music. That's writers and producers, of which they weren't. They were 'artists for hire'. A big difference of how much is made. It is still a sad situation. That 2nd album did extraordinary numbers......
@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 designer isn’t the only artist that’s had issues with good music being signed too them. Surprised matty didn’t include bad boy records too.
The Challenge Left Eye posed would also get them out of their bad contracts AND bankruptcy but T and C weren’t tryna play into the media. And Left Eye wasn’t supported with her solo album by their label as well. I wish their label and group listened to Lisa more cause she even proposed patenting "crazysexycool" and selling merch but was brushed off. like she had so many profitable ideas that she sadly wasnt backed behind.
Can't wait for part 2 cuz I would suggest JoJo or Michelle Branch. I just finished listening to what should've been Michelle Branch's 2010s follow-up album West Coast Time and it sounded like we were robbed of hearing her natural evolution into a music vet. Just because they never got officially released doesn't determine their quality. Imo, talent means nothing to have a successful career if you don't have just as strong of a management team. Taylor should bless her lucky stars she has one. Especially since she herself idolized Michelle Branch, owning a blue guitar because of her and even covering All You Wanted at Michelle's birthstate of Arizona!Eventually I'll make time to listen to Britney Spears's and JoJo's shelved albums.
I loved Jojo when I was listening to secular music. Even went to her concert in 2021/2022. She’s not selling out arenas, but I’m glad she’s doing music from what it seems like more on her own terms.
How do you not have Sky Ferreira on this video? Capitol records has held her for 10 years. She hasn't released music in 10 years and the label refuses to drop her. Please make a video about Sky. 🙏
surprised you didn’t mention Raye. she’s been very vocal about the struggles she faced with her previous label, who basically refused to let her release any actual albums for the almost-decade she was with them, and didn’t let her make the music she wanted to make. she’s since gone independent and finally released her debut album back in February, which had the song Escapism go viral, but her whole story is honestly really fascinating, and it makes me super happy that she’s finally being able to do the music she wants. i think it’s good material to talk about for a video, whether as a part 2 to this one, or a separate video on its own
I bet it was probably very hard for TLC. I can’t imagine having to work so hard and be expected to pay for almost everything that the backing company (the backing company being the label) is supposed to be providing for you. That’s so incredibly unfair.🙄 I really like your shirt; it was one of the first things that caught my attention when I watched the video. It’s very cool. 😎 Have you heard of the situation with Doja Cat being overworked by her label? I’ve also heard that Kelly Clarkson has had a past of working with a label that forced her into working with Dr. Luke and giving him rights and credits on songs that she had written without him. There’s also this band called One Direction, and their label overworked them so much that Liam Payne spiraled into an alcohol addiction and Zayn Malik developed an eating disorder.
They wanted to capitalise on Desiigners' short-term success, but I don't think they had any long-term plans for him. Lil Nas x said when Old Town Road blew up lots of labels wanted him to sign but they all wanted the song not him, only Columbia wanted him and the song, which is why he signed with them. It seems some record labels sign artists up while they're popular but have no long-term plans for them.
I am a huge TLC fan. CSC was my last cassete tape i owned and it was the first cd i owned. I had every album, every cd single. The first time listening to Fanmail i ciuld have died. Its my favorite album of theirs. I remember exactly where i was when i heard Lisa had died. I watched their reality show, Are you The girl. Still jam to i bet ft the winner O'so krisp. Even watched Chillies dating show and when Tionne was on Days of Our Lives for a couple stints.
Kesha finally never having to make music that Dr. Luke will benefit from makes me so happy. I followed her story since the beginning, and I truly think we got robbed of some absolutely stellar pop and pop-rock music. I'm her biggest fan.
That’s why I always respected ice cube for what he did that nigga went into the label with bats and his boys and said “nigga your gonna give me my money”
The whole Brittany thing was one side, but this business of owning actors and artists has gone on too long. There has to be a better way to promote singers and actors. Novelists appear to have it better. This is literally slavery, controlling someone else's life for profit or to destroy them for not obeying?
idk if you do video requests but i have a video idea for you to do by the end of this year (since this year is the final year of the early 2020s) "which artists will be the biggest one hit wonders from this decade?" in this video, you will take like ten artists who blew up out of nowhere (no buzz, no hype) between 2020 and this year (my choices are powfu, sam fisher, saint jhn, cj, ritt momney, duncan laurence, tai verdes, stephen samchez, masked wolf, gayle, jax, nicky youre, dove cameron, steve lacy and david kushner) and talk about who will most likely escape the one hit wonder label or who will most likely be stuck on this decade and be known as one of the big one hit wonders from this decade.
2 more I think should get mentioned more Lady Of Rage (I fully stand by her being considered a west coast og goat if she wasn't screwed by death row) Skee Lo (also should have been way bigger, he has some really underrated songs besides "i wish". Top of the stairs is an even better song, and never crossed my mind is also great)
JoJo is another artist who's career was ruined by her label. She had huge success in the early 2000s, released a bunch of hit songs and then suddenly she disappeared. I believe the label started shutting down but she was still locked in a contract for life. Even though the label basically didn't exist anymore, she wasn't able to sign anywhere else because they owned the rights to her name and voice. She was finally able to break away after a lawsuit which found that the label shouldn't have been able to bind her in a lifelong contract because she was a minor at the time they signed it. So while she didn't win any money from the lawsuit, she was able to sign a contract elsewhere and start making music again.
To be fair to Kesha a lot of people didn’t know about the Dr.Luke lawsuit until like maybe 2020. She definitely deserves her flowers for praying, a lot of people came across it on their own or because they were told about it not because of drama.
I mean, lets not forget how much the label bots plays , its all smoke and mirrors, his plays may have just become more accurate if anything. A lot of these label artist numbers are inflated beyond belief then they cant sell tickets lol.
I wanna say something about Kesha and Desiigner. Desiigner's XXL freestyle is one of the funniest things i ever seen. He wrote a hook, realized it wasnt long enough for his time allotment, then just repeated it 5 times with a look in his eyes that screamed "please god help me, make this stop." Between him, Lil Dicky, and Anderson Paak, Dicky had the best part and thats very sad to say. His music is good, though. Kesha has been releasing better and better albums, with songs in pretty varying styles. Her 2020 album has a great song with Sturgill Simpson called Resentment, and a very strange polka-pop song called the Potato Song that I think really shows how happy she is to be out of that contract.
0:54 There was NOTHING unique about Desiigner's vocals....I took me until the video to realize it WASN'T a Future song. If it's so damn unique why did I confuse it for another artist for months until I had to physically see the man's face to see it wasn't Future?
Props to Desiigner, not only did he get to put out the record they were shelving, but he got the release he wanted. That's respect
He gained even more respect when he whipped his dick out 🙏🏼
It’s a shame cause what he’s releasing now ain’t on the snippets he has with G.O.O.D music

in this video, you will take like ten artists who blew up out of nowhere (no buzz, no hype) between 2020 and this year (my choices are powfu, sam fisher, saint jhn, cj, ritt momney, duncan laurence, tai verdes, stephen samchez, masked wolf, gayle, jax, nicky youre, dove cameron, steve lacy and david kushner) and talk about who will most likely escape the one hit wonder label or who will most likely be stuck on this decade and be known as one of the big one hit wonders from this decade.
Im a bit older and remember TLC vividly RIP Left Eye
SKY FERREIRA
2 more I think should get mentioned more
Lady Of Rage (I fully stand by her being considered a west coast og goat if she wasn't screwed by death row)
Skee Lo (also should have been way bigger, he has some really underrated songs besides "i wish". Top of the stairs is an even better song, and never crossed my mind is also great)
Wow. That was pretty unerving to watch. If i was an artist it would make me think twice about wanting to be signed.
Sorry bro but how do you say Panda had a “unique sound” when everyone thought it was a Future record at first? Lmao
Sky Ferreira should be in part 2 of this video series
Desiigner lowkey dropped a banger recently
I usually watch videos at 2x speed but this is nice and dense, real informative shit
JoJo is another artist who's career was ruined by her label. She had huge success in the early 2000s, released a bunch of hit songs and then suddenly she disappeared. I believe the label started shutting down but she was still locked in a contract for life. Even though the label basically didn't exist anymore, she wasn't able to sign anywhere else because they owned the rights to her name and voice. She was finally able to break away after a lawsuit which found that the label shouldn't have been able to bind her in a lifelong contract because she was a minor at the time they signed it. So while she didn't win any money from the lawsuit, she was able to sign a contract elsewhere and start making music again.
Killin it with these videos
I believe artists should cooperate fully with the record label they signed to. Otherwise there will be trouble.
unfortunately it’s not that simple. fully cooperating with your label without question can be just as damaging as conflicting with them
amazing vid as always matty!
Designer finally gave us Timmy turner pt 2 and it's pretty good
You forgot JoJo (Joanna Levesque) Blackground did her so dirty. 😭
Left eye's facial expression was almost haunting at the grammys
To be fair to Kesha a lot of people didn’t know about the Dr.Luke lawsuit until like maybe 2020. She definitely deserves her flowers for praying, a lot of people came across it on their own or because they were told about it not because of drama.
It's really ironic to see TLC making a song about "I don't want no scrubs" when they where dead broke.
The TLC story is really sad, considering their talent and how many people resonated with their music
SoFaygo is soon to be here. Cactus Jack shelfed him and put him to the back burner. I’m shocked he didn’t get a placement on Utopia
he releasing another album soon so they havent shelved him yet
Instant follow , this is the second video I watch on your channel . Thanks for getting to the point very well articulated videos .
I remember telling a friend Designer is 19 & he is a millionaire what are we doing with ourlives Damn
the KIDS poster in the back 👌🏻
I mean, lets not forget how much the label bots plays , its all smoke and mirrors, his plays may have just become more accurate if anything. A lot of these label artist numbers are inflated beyond belief then they cant sell tickets lol.
TLC is the only actual legit example of this.
matty was such a A-b honor roll student of fantanos

I wanna say something about Kesha and Desiigner. Desiigner's XXL freestyle is one of the funniest things i ever seen. He wrote a hook, realized it wasnt long enough for his time allotment, then just repeated it 5 times with a look in his eyes that screamed "please god help me, make this stop." Between him, Lil Dicky, and Anderson Paak, Dicky had the best part and thats very sad to say. His music is good, though.
Kesha has been releasing better and better albums, with songs in pretty varying styles. Her 2020 album has a great song with Sturgill Simpson called Resentment, and a very strange polka-pop song called the Potato Song that I think really shows how happy she is to be out of that contract.
i still want justice for kesha. Gag order must have won a grammy!!!
I love the 90s in the 2000s but there was a lot of skinless or horrible/terrible incident that happened throughout those two decades
Your shirt is amazing.
0:54 There was NOTHING unique about Desiigner's vocals....I took me until the video to realize it WASN'T a Future song. If it's so damn unique why did I confuse it for another artist for months until I had to physically see the man's face to see it wasn't Future?
Got my hash rosin disposable this boutta be another classic
0:59 it wasn't notable for its unique sound, it got popular initially because people thought it was a leaked future song
u should talk abt kreayshawn she sang that song gucci gucci in like 2012 she got fucked over by her label
Ever since I first heard the name Tik tok for the app, I have always thought of it as based off Kesha
