Drake made way too many enemies between his peers and corporate executives. Then Kendrick put a bigger strain on his public image that was already strained for a while now. What Drake doing now with threatening a lawsuit is one of the few cards left he can play but at the risk of ending his music career. Unfortunately he put himself in this situation and nobody feels bad about it.
Bro Chamillionaire hasnt crossed my mind since i last saw him on CNBC. But i remember him well, Riding Dirty. Definitely a respctable businessman too. If i were to guess a rapper thats quietly holding a significant amount of Bitcoin I'd probably guess Chamillionaire. He made the right move, drop some hot rap music, cash out and dip. ✌🏿
Invested in a talk app called Convos which was like one of the first “Zoom” kind of app. Disney bought a large amount of it for whatever reason and he been wealthy running around with E40 ever since 😂
Chameleonaire audited his label and found out there were discrepancies. He threatened to go public so they let him out of his deal. They paid him. He used Jay Z’s auditors.
I remember him telling this story at a summit! Smart as hell! Master P did something similar. The music industry isnt just going to give you the playbook!
The thing Drake dont realise is that UMG wont be paying him 400M over a course of a few years, its over the course of several years and he has to produce half a dozen albums to their satisfaction. Even when Joe earns a lot less than Drake but he controls 100% of the money coming into his network alongside his manager and business partner Ian. Drake should have been a lot more smarter with his business moves, even Kendrick is now independent owns his own record label and only deals with UMG as his distributor for his music. Drake playing checkers, kendrick & lesser extent Joe playing chess.
great video! Chamillionare parents were smart and sure he was too. Drake is doing exactly what all artist do when they wake up and realize they should be getting more. Like when Wayne sued Birdman.
Just found ur channel. This is really good and well thought out commentary. I've also been trying look at this situation big picture bc theres so much to be said about the industry as a whole When i heard about Drake's deal w the label i knew that was part of why his releases have been weaker. What did KDot do? Started PGLang and he only has distribution w UMG. Very different deal. Kendrick has more freedom. Drake is a caged owl on top of a mountain.
Usually all the people u named go a different route once their career is on the decline.....drake before the kendrick diss fall off ...his career was still on the incline.....it wouldn't be smart tobstart something independent while you got all that gas pushing you.....doing that would deflate what you got going on...n now your starting over....... but now an exit plan should be in place.....drake is going to have to dissappear then come back later rebranded
@@Ellivation Drake was lazy and should have gotten out 2 years ago, while he was on top...Everybody's selling their Masters because, the big music companies are partnering with AI...Since Drake was UMG golden boy he already knew this...Snoop Dog has already licensed his voice and likeness to META, and so have many others...That's why Snoop wasn't surprised when Drake used his voice and likeness in Taylor Made Freestyle...But Tupac's estate haven't sold or licensed any rights yet...In the next 2-3 years it will be real artist going up against AI...Big Music Companies won't have to play large sums to real people for the music anymore...
Nicki don’t f with him as much. Lil Wayne don’t f with him as much. There were a bunch of signs that Drake is probably a shitty “friend”/back stabber. But now with the Kendrick shit. That just intensifies all that. He probably low key is a douche bag. But I never tripped of it until all this.
Separate ? - Is there a world where that BTS Ep was planned? Joe decided the orders of who came up when in advance? Joe said if you’re first you gotta do the board, flip fought for second and we know ish will be late last and parks was an afterthought lol. Not one of them questioned why there was an extra camera walking around in their face?
I feel that music artists missed a chance to start a union although they still can. Even if they do they’re at a complete disadvantage on top of being put into 360 deals and music no longer being sold individually instead it goes through streaming which means less money for all artists.
The gatekeepers have too much power and influence. They would in essence have to start a whole new music venture. The gatekeepers are giving up their power willingly
@@Ellivation Oh for sure they do. The perfect moment to start the union was when Prince was battling the industry for his independence. The industry only tightened the rules since then. Even if Drake somehow managed to get a win against universal it wouldn’t change much and his peers aren’t interested in helping that man. Meanwhile his team is busy telling people it’ll help everyone trying to spin the narrative that this is a selfless act.
They basically made Drakes career a hedge fund. Also the same rant about equity and taking it to the next level, could be applied to what he was trying to tell Rory and Mal for years, especially Mal since Rory at least had the paloozas.
@@Ellivationhis check, they wanted his check built off his name, effort, knowledge and risk. That’s the part where it went wrong. They worked hard, they added flavour but they were not the draw as has been proven.
Joe makes 5-10 million per year off prize picks. I know because Gilbert Arenas told what his co-hosts started off making for their first contract and what it went up to second contract. They're getting paid paid lol. For example Josiah is getting 1 million dollars.
Sheesh! Quiet as kept, Josiah becoming the moderator changed that whole show up! He deserves the mil because I remember when it was just Gil and his white partner

It’s hard to feel bad at all about it because he was openly plying money games with all his contemporaries

Chamillionaire was my GUY growing up! He absolutely made the right moves and can still be seen low-key out and about with MONEY
Met him and Paul wall my freshman year at the mall.

They always get to pull “this doesn’t count as an album” or tell him he hasn’t recouped yet
Remember Adin Ross sued AD and Vlad sued Rick Ross 🇮🇱
Oy vey!
True story!!
@9:41 - ngl the way you phrased that question was great. "What else came with $400 million?" Repeated that mf like Dr. Omar 🤣
WHAT ELSE CAME WITH IT?!!!
His life... 360 deal like a muthaphucker...
People need to wake up and realize the music biz is not in favor of the artist. They gave Drake 200M’s but at what cost the house always wins
Not in favor of the artist AT ALL!
Flip is an entrepreneur
He is but he should FULLY be an entrepreneur

It will be interesting to see what the space will be like without Drake.
