    If you are a good enough artist, you get to make the rules and if they like you
    and want to get on board and get a percentage, they are welcome to join
    other wise do it yourself or next... Distribution is needed however,
    but to a certain extent and percentage. Your the artist with the fan base
    and in demand, not the other way around. Other wise pull a Solja Boy
    and the others can kick rocks...

      In my opinion the 360 deal isn't as bad as we make it seem. Record Labels are like banks. They loan money which pays for videos, features, studio time, travel expenses, etc...asking for a portion of everything you do is just a way of making sure they recoop their money. It's easy to say do it on your own until you realize that 9 to 5 paycheck money won't get you far in this business. Every aspiring artist doesn't have street money!! I know plenty of artist that should be stars right now but they have no funding to help get them out there. A short term 360 deal would do wonders for these type of artist. You can always negotiate and scratch which parts you don't like and write in your demands and have them retype. Once both sides agree then you sign. JS....

    • @ukgoon85
      @ukgoon85 5 років тому +4

      I don't know the whole scenario you may be referring to but I would personally avoid anything like that.
      Record labels make money from the products that the artists they sign produce.
      If they are actually interested in signing you then why would you have to pay?
      If someone is shopping this idea to you as a way to get your foot in the door then just think like this. We all know about artists that have had a huge buzz that have got signed and then the label doesnt push them. If you aren't even on their radar and had to go to the extreme of paying to even have a meeting, then how can you expect them to be motivated enough to put their money behind you?
      In summary, in my humble opinion, don't do it!
      Good luck though, more life👊🏿

    I don’t get the point of a distribution deal. Might as well just distribute through tunecore and grow your fan base through social media

    I dont see why some people get so much pressure about taking 360 deals you new what you signed up for if you really dont have no talent but you want to be heard this the best option for you maybe one day you will be able to come ip and get better by then you can make a change

    Distribution is u being ur own boss. U control everything but u gotta put in the work. But coming from the hood niggas always want the easy way out
