The way society is going with social media, needing constant validation, and people being fake as honestly horrifying to me. I have a friend who is a producer and he straight up told me that some of the people that come in there come in there, and just record tick-tock’s. I’ve also heard another producer say this. People are in there for a social media, not really to create. They just want the attention. It’s getting weird.
WHAT'S WEIRD ABOUT GETTING ATTENTION + GOING VIRAL .........??? THAT'S HOW YOU GET PAID IN THIS DIGITAL WORLD 🌍 WE LIVE IN .........!!! EVERYONE IN BUSINESS NEEDS ATTENTION IT'S CALLED ADVERTISEMENT ........ THAT HOW YOU DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BUSINESS . . . . WHICH EQUALS MONEY 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵 💵
The problem is that no one really know what a actual song or a stream is worth. Back in the day, tapes and cds, etc.. actually was a product that was sold so that validated worth. 🤷🏾♂️
@@NickGenovese I built relationships in sync licensing, once I built up my resume, I then built up my own community, branded myself authentically, then diversified my income beyond sync licensing by teaching a production course.
this is genuinely one of the most informative videos i’ve ever seen. i was deadass glued to the screen the entire time and genuinely felt like i learned a lot of things i didn’t know, please make this a series man we need more of this
SPOT ON My Boi💯 I realized this while in Music Business Management & Engineering College. Major Labels are the banks, the digital distributors are the middle men & the marketing schemes are the phony carnival mirrors! Its severely unstable, deceitful & can rob actual talented musicians of their passion for the art. It's why Rihanna ain't into music no more but business, to clear old advances, label recoupments & free herself up from the industry while she's still young. Michael & Prince knew what they were talking about & were eliminated for going against the Oligarchs!
NEED PART 2! PLZ!!! im trying to start a label because I know too many talented people! I only want my friends to reach their dreams and I want to do it completely differently from the standard practices. Thank you for the exposure.
And now they shadow barning and buying out the real talent , we need independent society to unite. Real music can be realized once this toxicity is eliminated
I've learned so much from watching your videos! Definitely looking forward to part 2! I've started registering all of my works, retaining ownership, and now I'm looking more into the business end to see how things actually work. This video came at the perfect time!
Great content man. Looking forward to your part 2. The truth always prevails as most all things are covered and coated with lies and deception. Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
This was extremely informative and revealing wasn’t aware of all these practices being used. Makes sense but wow 🤯 thank you for taking the time to put this video together and breaking it down. 🙏
yo game do you remember "Chart Hyping" ? this is the modern version of it. Back in the day, labels would put out physical copies of the music {Vinyls & CD} and send their own staff to go round and purchase all the remaining copies from all the record stores to make it seem like their artists had sold more than they actually did. Just to create the illusion of success.
You the future for all these young producers like me, would appreciate you to keep dropping knowledge OG, you gonna be the building blocks to new forms of business 🙏
I normally don’t comment bro so when I do it’s 💯 You took this information to the next level a lot of people are just regurgitating stuff, but you broke it down. Please do a part 2 when time permits 💪
Peace Bro thanks for the info also I want to add on that the record labels operate like the mob , some of the practices that they use is how mobster get money also i was wondering if i can interview u on my show , I speak on business , entertainment and self awareness
Dude , i cant believe you still at it. I still use your chord building method, and it took me far. That was years ago. And here you are still working, thanks for putting me on game! MUCH LOVE BRO!
Way ahead of you brother keep preaching the truth we hear you and support keep going teach the youth people is zombies they need truth so keep speaking facts 💯
FREE GAME!!! I been watching your tutorials since I was in high school learned a ton and have been in a lot of bs with being a producer unfortunately. I’d like to come on and speak about the bs going on in the industry!
I love it when a teacher happily laments there's so much to teach us. Well teach me! The business side of the industry and my knowledge of it is baseless except for historical accounts and the unbelieveable stories I'm told about the epic and vast preversion and unbridled greed permeats the roots and foundations of the institution. I studied music theory in high school and vocal performance/theory in college. I tought piano and theory when i was in my 20's; i've performed in many amazing situations and Ive been composing since i was 6. Now I want to do something different; something that doesnt include 'selling my soul' to a den of thieves in order for me to get off of the current plateau. Full disclosue: i'm bored and cranky now that i'm older; the soul selling thing may be a fitting option during these dark times. At least it's something I haven't done yet.
Thanks for sharing this, man 😇. I really appreciate this 🙏🏽. Now, can you please explain this a way ...... like , what record deal would you take if you were to sign somewhere. Oh, and I like how Frank Ocean played his label 😂
Dude, i think you need to take a breather. You put out too much content for people to watch reliably. Don't get me wrong your content is top notch but you pump it out like a maniac lol. Give us some time to catch up man, and I think you deserve to take a little break once in a while.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am an artist and have a lot of different ideas that I want to create in the future. I am just coming out of a period of needing validation and wanting people to like it on social medias. Now I’m to the point why I’m making it for me and I think that is the best place to be and how to not get taken advantage of by anybody. I can’t imagine how many big artist one of that validation to build her ego and now they barely have creative control because of the greed of big labels in Hollywood elite.
I don't know the demographic of your other viewers but I have to say I love listening to you talk. I can feel the interest and great deal of understanding. . My only wish Is that you wouldn't hold back and let your mind branch off as much as you want. This is is stuff all aspiring people who are entering the industry should know, and you words carry validity.
