    Im not talking about the labels, Im talking about Streaming services offering deals to Artists just like the deal Chance had 5 yrs ago.

    an artist signed to a streaming service is about as good as netflix dropping their own movies. id rather watch scorsese

    Interesting topic that may shift music in a good or bad way.

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/warner-music-group-ipo-ar-costs-952821/

    Cliffnotes:
    -Signing artist is more expensive now that back then
    -most artist aren't taking bad deals anymore

    • Warner Group is opening up to the stockmarket
      -Various buyers (like Tenencet) or expected to join in
      -Although the music business is growing fast , a massive slow down is coming
      -Goldman Sachs was mentioned in the article (if you know anything about the housing crisis, this isn't good if Goldman Sachs is interested in your industry)
      -I could type more but that's what I think is important

    You are legit dumb.

    because goldman sach is interesed in your industry it's going down?

    Shut up.

    in the same way that spotify got Jay Z. It's just a platform. when the platform starts creating their own content, its gonna get derivative

    Spotify can find 100000 kids by tomorrow that can be on key and punch some chords into FL studio. But ppl like the weeknd, kanye, drake, kid cudi are what draws people in. artists with a story and a vision.

    something interesting in their ipo statement (obviously all of which i did not read, it's 3000+ pages) was their faith in s*** like Sodatone, which to me looks to be Computer S*** + Social Media Statistics = a new, potentially very inorganic way for A&R people to find new talent

    however clearly they don't present it as inorganic so i don't rly have any reason to assume that other than some evolutionary fear or smthn. what's interesting is that WMG thinks it's gonna be big in the future
