‼️

Vlad is actually right here

Friendly reminder, what Aries is saying is true for most people in a capitalist system, not just artists. The owners of capital do fuck all actual work while proletarians are forced to work hard for someone else's profit or be super poor. Vlad makes it sound like capitalists are doing artists/workers a favour. No, artists and workers are doing them a favour by going along without collectively rising up.

@@DeathsInverse Ok, bootlicker.

Hes right in thats how it is. Completely wrong on that its moral...​@@DeathsInverse

Vlad rented an office next to Universal 15 years ago and suddenly he knows everything about the industry 😂

He wants some regular folks to sue the record labels for lyrics

Yeah just showed his true colors

Exactly what I am hearing also!

To be serious tho Vlad’s right to a point, if the business worked on Aries ideal all these labels would go out of business real quick. Then again maybe that’d be a good thing... but it wouldn’t be a business.

But he is ignorant as well, you probably wouldn’t want to work under him, be real.

@willej7584 / Slim thug made a million dollars as a high school senior…. If that’s ignorant then count me in

I mean he does own the majority of his masters and is rich on top of rich so maybe he has a point. Control your craft and destiny

Owning your product makes a difference

never heard of him

Also that he wants to be one too.

Of course. Back in the 50s they would take whole songs and have white people sing them for their radio stations. Just the biz.

they're not tho lol most labels take loses putting these artist on. most artist don't last longer than 3-5 years. the ones that do are truly talented and prevail but look at Polo G, Dababy, just to name a few they were flashes in the pan and label took more of a lost putting these guys on believe it or not. Vlad is right its usually one artist that keep the entire label going just do the research.

This is how things have to work to be financially viable. Even if we're talking indie labels, they're either doing the same model or they're only singing artists with established followings. Nobody hires an artist that's small [relative to the label's expectations] with no guarantee they will make money, unless there's someone or something else that covers that cost. Money doesn't grow on trees, it has to come from somewhere!

@@realtalk6195 saying being a Thief is normal in the industry. That does not give you much moral wiggle room. Accepting evil things makes it worst not better.

They've known it since the 1950's and they are still too stupid to absorb the knowledge 🤣😂 They'd rather complain about Vlad instead of stop signing deals with the devil. These are the same idiots that tell people to stop doing interviews with Vlad and then come back to watch his videos and boost his views.

Pretty much lol. "the slave master invested into the cotton field of course he should get the most money!"

Vlad is a real white man

​@@Mister_Byron562lmaooo exactly

This is how whites think

“The cost of doing business “ 😂

If you can't learn in America..what makes you think you can learn in other countries.

He hasn’t travelled much , travelling abroad he meant , slim thug is ignorant

Indy is definitely the best way to go. Less money but you own everything and you get a bigger piece of the pie.

⁠​⁠@@Filthyheartzit’s hard because you’re gonna have to be creating everything. The major labels have power in that they can make deals with other major labels for getting samples to clear and have some of the best song writers on payroll . They can easily absorb lawsuits while an independent label would go bankrupt. I just think artist need to accept the fact that not everyone is gonna becomthe next Drake, Beyoncé or Taylor swift. ^ these 3 artist became successful because they had a good team around them to make the revenue they made during their debut years was invested back into their music career. Other artist who complain about the labels are the ones who only have leeches around them and the money they make during their debut is spent on strippers,drugs, cars, and jewelry. It’s because they think the label is still gonna make them their first priority when the label is focusing on the next big artist.

Doja Cat blew up well before she was signed. I’d argue her music was better BEFORE she got signed. I only knew about her because my lady used to follow her on IG even before the viral “Moo” track…

How fair is it for the record label if they invest millions in you and you don't blow. They have to move on and forget about it . At the end of the day this is business not charity.

What’s a fair deal for the label

He’s not missing It he’s Jewish

When you enter a haunted house, complaining that it's scary and evil doesn't fix the problem. Stop entering the haunted house. Plain and simple.

Of course he’s white. Whites support whites

That his peoples that robing people the why so mad.

Duh 🙄

Duhhhhhhh he's a sheep

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

The rap game is equivalent to pimps and 304s.picture a 304 telling a real P let's renegotiate this deal😂😂😂😂✌✌🤦‍♂️

you would be okay making pennies while investing millions?

@@martinvanburen4578if you own the studio , with multiple artist being invested in …these Pennies will compound

@@RocTaylor5 dollars chasing pennies? lol that's not a good business plan

They own the studio…but do you know that engineers go to school? Look up full sail university tuition. Even though they own the studio which cost hundreds of thousands but they have to pay the engineers… they are ENGENEERS!!! And they don’t OWN them. They are human beings who specialize in a craft. It’s not cheap.

@@thomasnelson213 lol he never ran a business. thinks he can do it out of his room in his mom's house with kids yelling in background and mom telling him to clean his room.

And BOOM!!!!!

facts they become yes men to them instead of being honest but most times being honest goes wrong. most artist only last 3-5 years the great find ways to last longer and prevail. think about all the artist to come out 2019-2020 most of them are either trash now or have no motion. Polo G, Dababy, just to name a few.

VLAD IS TRIPPING FOR REAL ARTISTS THAT DEAL WITH THESE LABELS GET RIPPED OFF SO I GUESS STEALING ROYALTIES IS COOL RIGHT SERIOUSLY

If you invest, wouldn’t you want your money back with interest?

yea but the Successful Artist had nothing to do with those other failed Artist the label invested in.@@IlPookiell

@@IlPookiell If you are investing to steal the work from the person. Doesn't that make you a theft starting off? Your goal is to use the person. Not to be fair to that person.

Actually you're describing every business in the world. The initial investor always gets the majority of the return and first. Literally every business. In any field. It's the lesson Walt Disney had to learn when he got pushed out of Oswald the lucky Rabbit. Starting with Mickey Mouse, he started to own his intellectual property and he and his brother Roy delt with the bank themselves, not studio in between them because they now were the studio. Walt Disney grew up business-wise. It's not immoral, it's grown up business, the idea is to stop thinking like a child. Put it away.

yeah, I really didn't appreciate that part

Vlad knows the artist is loaned money to do their album. The record company recoups their money from album sales. At least that's how it was prior to the streaming era.

Imagine vlad using that excuse to justify slavery lol

@@noncustody true, but he's saying if the album doesn't seem at all. And the artist did so badly that they can't justify investing in another project.

Birdman is one of there biggest slaves. Cash money 💰 definitely made them billions.

I used to see Birdman monthly at Universal

So you want people with immense talent to have a "salary"?

@@ibervillezee9142 No, they would give the salary to the ones helping them.

And untalented whites will always defend the system. They’re envious that they lack talent. They sold it all

And no one would see the artist if it wasn’t for the money behind to market that artist. It takes two to tango , and also since it’s a capitalist system, the one that invests the most in the relation Will get rewarded the most when the artist blows up. It can be the artist or the label.

@@MessiestFort nothing you said is true. Corporations aren’t needed. They steal and gatekeep so that you can’t be independent. I see that most of you have no problem with slavery. It was just business to you.

No one wants to take a loss in any business. EVER. But sometimes it happens. If you ever invested in anything you would completely understand what he is saying. Nobody is putting up money out of love. They want to maximum return they can possibly get. No one has to sign. Unless you are mentally incapable of making a decision there's nothing unfair about it.

Your problem is you think the artist is a partner. They are merely an employee…

They are partners. The terms of the partnership is dictated by the contract, which both sign willingly. If you are of legal age you're going to be held to what you sign.@@renarldostokes8490

Ain’t Vlad independent?!? So wtf is he upset for?

Couldna said it better

Unfortunately, they don't want to understand it. "Give me all the money !" They're not looking at the big picture, just the one side.

Da.... In today's time you don't need a label. Aries is right cause he understood what was being said as an artist.

It's basically about how business is conducted which is the issue.

If you give artists bad deals, you will eventually end up with no artists, it's in the companies best interest to give out fair contracts. Don't listen to the lies these culture vultures like to spew.

Don’t make it right tho .

this i can agree with

everything isnt a tax write off. when the money is gone, its gone

And they also have insurance on those failed artist

Low IQ comment, you're just saying anything

In most instances, that artist didn't get that notoriety w/o the music industry (the machine).

And their white sycophants eat it all up

Underated comment 💯💯💯. This will go over Alot of people heads unfortunately

PERFECTLY stated!!

where is the theft exactly? the artists sign a deal where the conditions are there in black and white. Not the labels problem these people cant read. A label is nothing but a bank that gambles on the artists. Artists seem to think its the bank of mum and dad.

​@@harryhill8543they're two emotional and can't think clearly. Most do not use logic.

I feel you don't know the risk and the role the labels plays in making these artists and their songs.. You probably think the artist does everything and the label does nothing 😂😂😂...

Ice Cube will show up !!!!

😂 exactly!

😂 I LOVE IT!!

No thanks. I watch these clips here just for the people you’re interviewing. You’re unbearable as an interviewer my boy.

nope he covers the artists that dont blow up. These artists are funded by the ones who do. For an artist to tour and make money they have to be a higher level which is only possible with the industry machine. Some people think one person can do the job of 100 experrienced people and money comes easy.

He’s an exploiter. He wants no risk

And all the Black artist like Sam Cook and Otis Redding

Vlad needs to ask his self would he continue to allow someone or someone's to do it to him. 🤔 But anyway I do think him for sharing his true colors more these days. I "CAN" respect someone who let's you know who they are. Carry On

I wanna say Master P did as well

most rappers dont blow up and sure some may get signed if they have a social media presence but thats not the same thing as being a viable money making artist in the industry.

😂😂
