Truly fascinating to me how you can succeed at this high of a level and people act like it never happened. Or better yet, know it very well did and still try to downplay / discredit it after the fact. Canā€™t wait to see where all this lands in the next 5-10 years. Game cooked rn

Yall thinking the same artists that donā€™t even wanna post more than twice to promote their own songs about to somehow acquire the business acumen to source people and pay them to do the work of a label is comical lol

The reality is most artists donā€™t actually want the responsibility of having to invest in themselves, build a business, and be fully accountable for all decisions made. They wonā€™t have anyone to blame when it doesnā€™t work. Too much liability and good help isnā€™t cheap.

Why tf would any artist sign a 5 album deal for a $100k advance in 2026 when brand deals, bank loans & crowd funding exist? Wake up. These people in these buildings do not know how to break your single. They take that marketing budget and go contract someone your age to execute the campaign. Might as well get rid of the middle man and own your art.

At some point we gonna have to appoint our own heads of state. Align our efforts, commitments and DOLLARS. Not to be anti but to be established and intentional. Are we willing to uplift our elites and are they willing to invest in proper systems / infrastructure?

We wonā€™t ever really be on anything if we donā€™t own anything. No matter far up the ladder you climb, youā€™re a glorified work for hire if itā€™s not your shit fr.

Iā€™ve been talking about this for years. Black music cannot thrive without investment, and it cannot thrive when the people who understand the culture are not inside the buildings where decisions get made.

Hip-hop is being deprioritized by major labels. We've seen layoffs of Black execs, and there are fewer people in key roles who understand how to market the music. Artists considering a deal: make sure youā€™re partnering with a team that understands and can execute your vision.

Only in music / art we have this expectation for things to find success without marketing investment. Literally every product in the world pays to advertise in order to increase visibility and ultimately sell.

@BrianZisookOct 10
Label-funded "seeding" campaigns are standard practice now. FTC guidelines require creators to disclose paid promotion, but in music, most don't. That gap, between how songs spread and what we're told, is part of why so many artists face silly "industry plant" accusations.

The difference is today most people arenā€™t actually buying music.. so people are advertising literally just to get your attention long enough to listen (or use a song in your next post because itā€™s trendy)

Spend money on what makes you money. Glossy music vids donā€™t sell records in 2024. $$$ amount spent does not equate to creativity nor impact. At this point expensive visuals are a luxury that should come only after youā€™ve actually generated profit. Donā€™t dig an unnecessary hole.

Do NOT spend $20k on a music video in 2024.

We def fw ATL Freestyle but I do agree How Fly / the Currensy link definitely elevated Wiz's whole artist proposition. Everything aligned and took off after that.

The modern music executive has to understand the digital landscape, general business development, leadership, be able to speak in the conference room, the studio, and at the function..
