This industry is truly horrible and record labels NEED to be held accountable. There should be legal statutes in place stopping labels from being able to do this
Scarlxrd is my absolute favorite and he’s been off a label for a few years. No one really cares about him, he’s just doing his thing always. Rip to everyone.
This is so stupid though, when an artist dies it gets so many people into that style that wouldnt have been before. Why would they continue to out out music by these artists if they dont want to deal with their music anymore
@@Iammoneyman420na haven’t you seen how fast emo rap evaporated? They took the heads x juice peep and the whole thing crumbled. Not saying their death is justified but I’m happy emo rap gone
Honestly, Lil Peep is the prime example. Everyone else was just mishaps, tragedies and coincidence. R.I.P. and Long Live their names though. May they reincarnate somehow by inspiring someone with similar energy and safe steps.
I was JUST talking abt the Empire theory. Way too many of their artists have gotten shot, injured, or have "overdosed" in the past ~5 years for it to be a coincidence.
Literally Peep, X, Juice and Smoke all died year to year, 3 od those being rappers that rapped a lot about their eventual demise while still young, truly an unfathomable coincidence unless something sinister really did play out in the background.
@@yomfnmama757With that mindset your bussiness will crash and burn, you think people will be streaming Peep, X, Juice and Pop in 2040 the same way they are now? This generation's attention span is too short and they are gone, they had their time that ended too soon.
The way I look at it people love to put a face behind the music and if you would be willing to sacrifice that for (like you said) such a minute amount of performance acceleration then you don’t deserve to run a company nor manage an artist. I mean the whole reason you make these rappers famous is to market, and suck as much out of them as you can, ergo killing an artist in the middle of their prime would be ludicrous and mediocre from a business standpoint.
They exploiting and making more money off pushing agendas and conspiracy theories for no reason. Just as bad as these labels, anything for some fucking views
Also I don’t get why we’ve seen so many rappers that are either on track to be massive (X, Juice, Pop, Von) or established hitmakers (Dolph, Mac, Takeoff, Nipsey) pass away since Peep did in 2017. Before that, I reckon it was just local artists and older vets
I don't blame the labels for not caring about the artists. Most of these artists don't even care about themselves. Always involved in gangs, drug addictions, always shooting people and fighting for no reason. These artists have a lack of respect for their lives so of course the labels won't care about them.
@@themanofnoodles It's now racist to point out that a lot of these artists who've died engaged in unhealthy and dangerous lifestyles? I sincerely hope you're joking. Why should the labels care about these people beyond the money they bring them when these artists don't even care about themselves? Answer that.
All them rappers have one thing in common along with many others, the same exact way they spoke on records on how they would die, they've actually died. Words have power and when they spoke it on a track it came to life like written words on a paper.

Most people get into the labels for recognition and fame. Becoming independent is the better path but it means you won’t get the shortcut which many aren’t willing to do. So this will continue on for years to come.
Before a rapper dies, they sometimes hate or don't like them. Just as soon as they die: sales skyrocketed and they became missed, loved and the most likeable rappers (most of them only). Short answer is not all die in a coincidence, Pop Smoke accidentally leaked his address and Juice accidentally overdosed himself.
also @3:17 you mentioned "7 dead rappers in top10 most streamed albums on Spotify" it's it's just x twice, juice twice and pop once. rest of 'em travis, drake, eminem, etc. are still alive even if you say you were talking about albums not artists, it's still wrong only 5 albums were from dead rappers

The same alli that said she wouldn’t start an OF out of respect for juice then she started dating an 18year old and started givin him all of juices shit and got hooked on meth and crack really bad and then started an OF, also she tried claiming there was a whole conspiracy to juice dying which she said while drugged out, that same Ali? Yeah I wouldn’t believe a single word that comes out of that snakes mouth.
@@nextprodigytolazy_boy and juice made so many songs because he loved music, im sure you know that he would make like 3-4 different songs with the same beat and would ask his homies which one they liked more even tho they are all fire asf
They make more money when they dead, and on top of that if you’re a artist they can’t control and start speaking out against their agenda it over everyone in the music industry are going to blackball and no one is going to warn you about your death. Music mafia is real.
The real reason is not the profits yes that's a huge reason the greed runs it. But beyond this when a young artist gets big and have allot of influence with the population they can literally change the world by reaching a huge interbational audience. A big artist has more power then a government so the government's also want to kill the artists 💯💯
sorry but this is complete bullshit lol.....not every rapper is tupac who had 400 unreleased songs where massive profits could be made off his death, rappers today dont work like that outside a few like drake and drake is far more valuable alive because he can put out 10 more records. Sure for a month after death the stats shoot up but in a year people dont listen to them like that, the same thing happens when they release a new cd while alive so either u get a one month boom or a 10 year boom, which has more value?
My hot take: the interview & social media content and beef serves to distract the people from creating alternatives to the industry as it is currently set up. There's always going to be talented musicians, and there will always be the need to make a living. Are we really so powerless to the music industry, or do we just not wanna get up off of bitching on our phones?
The premiums on those policies would be so astronomical on the chance your artist gets killed. The returns wouldn't be worth the risk, theyll just pimp the artists music and legacy.
The dangerous lifestyle of a rapper is what sells. Labels might hype that aspect up, since there's nothing they can do to stop the rapper. However, once the rapper dies, labels are going to try to ride the hype to make more money by releasing pre-recorded and unfinished tracks and verses. It's not like they wish death for these rappers, it's their own fault and the labels are just making something out of a sad situation. Might as well make some money for the artists' families, since they're no longer going to be in the picture to provide.
Here’s the thing these young rappers mostly see dollar signs they’re instantly hooked they think of the glitz and glamour and not one time do they see the evil of it that’s when that black cloud come into to play now I will also say this these labels will go for the artist with the substance problems it’s more money
Why drake, wayne, t.i., jeezy, snoop etc. Aint dead they way bigger more famous better catalog than all these rappers that died recently? If this was true they would take out big fish not small fries
@@shida5320 not at all, especially from a money/business standpoint I would take out the big fish if you know at all how publishing and masters work they not making no money off no pop smoke nipsey king von. Especially xxx because he partially owned his masters and publishing and was a huge act only getting more popular he would've reached the weekend/drake status. Nip owned his masters and publishing 100% Pop was going to save the east coast and become the next 50 cent doesn't make sense to steal 2 albums and his streams aren't enough like xxxs to be making alot of money on. So when someone says it's a moneygrab it technically makes zero sense if mentioned artist were alive they'd make way more than relying on streams from touring merch and whatever else was in the contracts. And they life insurance policies let's say is half whatever they got wouldn't make up for what they could've made off an artist. And my main point is it's guys with multiple hit songs featured in movies and TV shows sell out arenas that are worth way more
One detail about Kurt Cobain’s death that I always found weird that no one really talks about is the electrical technician’s statement, he said that when he saw Kurt’s body, he thought he was just sleeping which is why he didn’t alert the police….. if someone blew their brains out with a shotgun…. How tf does it look like they were sleeping????
Yo idk who the producer you mentioned in the article was but Wicca Phase is more of a singer / rapper and doesn’t really produce. He is the “leader” of gbc and featured with peep on 2 tracks but never produced a beat for him
I hate ally but damn was she right here… they were more of a liability being alive, so it was easier to pump juice full of drugs and kill him instead. Makes much more sense now…
All these rappers get gunned down in their neighborhoods by people that they know. There's no way any ni&&a from these hoods is going to do life in jail and don't snitch coz a label paid him to do a hit... As a matter of fact he'd scream that loudly so that he get famous.
I didn’t watch past the intro, having people who are no longer with us pictures with red pouring out of they head is beyond disrespectful. Even if you have valid points I’ll never know. Won’t be watching this video. Just got introduced to your content, good luck in your endeavors but I’m out.
This is true when xxx, juice wrld and pop smoke died their popularity increased by storm till the extent dat they started having a large fan base in my country Nigeria
It's so shit out there in the music industry and the evil territory that comes with it two ways you can go out as a rapper getting shot sells go up after death second option die with nothing after getting let go the way black rob did which is even more worse in my opinion but hey that's how ugly the industry monsters eat
The sad part of this is it’s probably true because streaming numbers and sales almost always go up after they pass

Who else didn’t know that Warner Bros had a record label when I first heard that I was like so he was signed to a kids, DC company/. Bugs Bunny
RIP PEEP 😞
I hate ally but damn was she right here… they were more of a liability being alive, so it was easier to pump juice full of drugs and kill him instead. Makes much more sense now…
Dave did a whole plot about this in season 3
All these rappers get gunned down in their neighborhoods by people that they know. There's no way any ni&&a from these hoods is going to do life in jail and don't snitch coz a label paid him to do a hit... As a matter of fact he'd scream that loudly so that he get famous.

This industry is so horrible and some deaths u can see that the rebels can be behind the hits and forcing their artists to take drugs 🤥
I didn’t watch past the intro, having people who are no longer with us pictures with red pouring out of they head is beyond disrespectful. Even if you have valid points I’ll never know. Won’t be watching this video. Just got introduced to your content, good luck in your endeavors but I’m out.

Gang raps are killing our youth.
It's so shit out there in the music industry and the evil territory that comes with it two ways you can go out as a rapper getting shot sells go up after death second option die with nothing after getting let go the way black rob did which is even more worse in my opinion but hey that's how ugly the industry monsters eat
this mans actually trying to create a new conspiracy around Cobain's death lol
we need a video on young dolph shooting
