it wasnt just eminem tho it was every artist on sony. yall love the music but hate the business part of music business

"Negotiation, asking for twenty percent of the company, that's my final"

I mean that actually makes sense

The original mobsters in the prohibition era realized a better way to run s*** was to just become part of it. No point in going against the government if you could just become part of it

Op goin viral lol

Mike was buying catalogues and didnt give a f*** who it was alot of ppl dont talk about how shrewd of a business man MJ was.

He can buy 1 percent of umg for about 500 million at the current stock price

That’d pay out around 4-5million a year depending on how much money universal makes.

Easy 4-5 million a year.

Especially if you can do a couple of ig posts to promote a UMG artist, or a remix to make one them have a big year.

Like you said he JUST got a 500 million deal so I imagine he’d have been invested for quite some time and now he can afford more shares.

Also I’d imagine he has access to better stock options than a regular person since he signed a deal with them.

Not too far fetched to say he has ownership in UMG. Because I can have ownership in UMG.

Didn't he do it on purpose since em basically made fun of him lol

Cole2 thread

Out lol

Ktt the culture

Good s*** OP

Sadly most people don't care about being manipulated.

Factual

Idk, all i know is he def outbid paul mccartney on purpose. I think i recall an interview of paul being really hurt by that move and how badly paul wanted the rights.

I wouldnt put it past a man that rich to be spiteful in his dealings tho. No offense to mj he the goat. But theres only one way to get a neverland ranch in ur backyard

i think you mistaking Drake speaking at the apple press as him launching apple music. what a time to be alive was mostly physical copies. most the streams came from spotify and it was barely anything

the first exclusive between drake and apple was the hotline bling video

The rabbit hole keeps getting deeper yall

If the whole beef is really centered around this then that nigga wins by default even if it’s one of the most f***ed up moves, business is business and he doesn’t owe his peers anything (even tho he realistically does cause without them there is no him)

The system is broken lol

Eldridge is really just a multimedia version of Blackrock huh

So drakes first #1

I know about that, but Mike and Paul made music together like Drake and Ross

Prince outlived Mike Jack…MJ threatened the industry with his starpower and pull and got f***ed over eventually, while Prince owned his s*** eventually and done what he wanted

It all makes sense

i see you watched joe budden too
its literally videos of the 4batz nigga singing

why would a label promo the capabalities of AI when they are right now trying to stop AI companies from advancing in music. part of the reason why UMG isn't on tiktok is because of AI
