    because labels prey on up and coming artists who need the money

    They intentionally use confusing words in the contract so that the artists have no idea what they’re actually signing. There could be hidden clauses n s*** that they won’t know about.

    This too,also the fact that the contract is probably the size of a book and they probably put it in front of them after hyping all the labels benefits and s***.

    Its the nature of the game

    This been going for decades. Since the inception of the music industry

    You gotta know how to play in it

  • Music industry is evil af. Low-key have to outplay it

  • Using your talent to make a product for a label who then promotes it

    Sounds like a obvious question but I’m ask regardless:

    It seems like so much music artist end up with s***ty deals with labels. Is that just the nature of the game/working with labels? Are a lot of these bad deals preventable?

    Do a lot of artist just not pay enough attention when they’re getting signed? Maybe seeing guaranteed profit makes them sign without too much negotiation?

    When you coming from nothing and get noticed and someone offers you alotta money up front and you poor. bad deals happen.. and lets face it.. not alot of artists know about the MUSIC BUSINESS.. initially
