The Darkest AngelAgreed. This isn't bad if anything it's great news. Drake can stand up for other artists now that he has power
This is obviously not what’s gonna happen
orangetcovid 👌🏿Apr 17, 2024InformerNot sure why OVO is with Sony/Todd Moscowitz and not UMG tho
40 said being on the same label could be a conflict of interests for the artist they sign
Apr 17, 2024·1 replymagnoliasAnd this still has nothing to do with the Drake situation
kendrick should have stayed indie man
and if drake is getting all of this off his Apple connects, how much do you think Dr Dre is getting? the guy kendrick signed to- Apr 17, 2024
Drake is no different from a CEO at this point. All he cares about his the bottom number. Push Ups should reveal that to anyone
Apr 17, 2024The Darkest AngelHe's mad ovo niggas are family while kenfolk are crabs in a bucket

Lil Uzi HorizontalThey were struggling to move units with internet piracy and no streaming yet.
People like BoB's album flopped (84K 1st week back then was a flop compared to say 50 Cent's major label debut 1st week) and the labels had to figure out a way to make major money again. They saw how Tyler was able to craft a grassroots fanbase that they could take a percentage of. So they would give him and some that came after decent deals. Also they developed streaming (convenience trap) as a slow burn new revenue stream.
back during the late 2000s to early 2010s where it was before streaming but internet was fast enough to get music consistently, it was either itunes or cds

Drake is not publicly attached to any of these companies as an ownership holder

Except artists aren’t corporations
That’s exactly why the Drake s*** is slimy
No one's making the artist sign. If you a true artist you stay indie. You can't sign to a corp then say you ain't corp. You literally sign papers saying you're music is a product and giving the label permission to market your image as such. Some artists aren't corporate but a lot are because they gave it up

-extortion baby whole career you been shook up- better drop and give ME 50

Agreed, that whole era was an experimental phase for labels. Positive thing about it, everyone who were pioneers of that era, are now rich, or even one hit wonders like Dej Loaf, James, we're able to walk away from the industry paid.

He answered your question perfectly. You good?

Because the implication is that he’s playing with the careers of people who helped put him on
Yeah that’s a s***y take tbh, Drake just had the juice they didn’t.

Lmfao I just meant cause Sexyy is signed to Larry Jackson and Ice Spice is signed to Elliot Grange, both major business partners with Drake and his parallel with the same deal as him (maybe even better) is Taylor

I personally don’t think he will as he too still answers to someone who’s interests wouldn’t want that.
But I’m personally always happy to see artists elevate themselves beyond the music.
