No. I was speaking on this earlier. Lucian's son runs Warner, and the head of Sony is Rob Stringer, a friend of Lucian.
Remember when Kanye burned his bridges with them niggas and they were blocking f***ing Backstreet Boys samples for Vultures and s***.
Kanye music ass now but a lot of his failed rollouts have to do with the fact that the big 3 washed their hands of him after his crash out.
That's why I said earlier I think this is a dumb move on Drake part because if this falls flat on it's face, they're not gonna want to do anything with him.
Especially since hip hop sales are down and the pop stars on the rise again.
That's just how I see it though
EDIT: Lucian's son runs Atlantic which is under Warner my bad
Are kanye albums independent releases?

Yeah. No major label will touch him, he released it through YZY

Damn that’s insane. Carnival probably was huge for him monetarily then. That’s crazy.

I bet that’s why he smiling in Japan lmfao, it worked
Yall don’t even care about truth you are genuinely rooting for Drake to be a pedophile so you don’t feel bad for being a weirdo
He is on video groping a 17 year old.

It was. But also Kanye is f***ed over because since he does not have the backing of the big 3 to do s*** like clear samples etc. he's been getting sued all over for copyright infringement.
There's been articles all summer and fall about how he's been facing lawsuits

That's why I said what I said earlier about how after this Drake / UMG situation is done I could see them doing Drake way worse just on some petty s***

Oh wow. This s*** starting to make sense. That’s crazy and might be a big reason for hus drop in quality.

Weren't some texts leaking about Dolla Sign's label wanting a cut or something
ehh
I mean the nigga isn’t contractually forced to make music anymore lmao, which people forget was the main issue that triggered him that he couldn’t take a break or retire

Probably just gave them cuts of Ty’s songwriter points
Oh wow. This s*** starting to make sense. That’s crazy and might be a big reason for hus drop in quality.
Yeah. Don't get it twisted, Ye's drop off in quality is still due to how scatterbrained he is nowadays but Kanye choosing to burn the bridges he did with the big 3 led to him being less of a priority with them and DSPs.
There's a reason why the leaked unofficial versions of Ye s*** never sound as good on the final releases lol
Kendrick is doing his own thing with pGLang but UMG will still push his product, clear his samples and such because they're a distributor for him.
People don't realize Beyonce has been independent since like 2011 with 4 which she released through her own label Parkwood entertainment but guess what.. she uses Sony to push product through a distribution deal with them through Columbia.
Idk Tyler's situation as of late but I know when he had OF records they had a distribution deal with Columbia which is under Sony as well

oh lolol well yeah. that is true
I'm just gonna let the story unravel. Maybe Drake really got something or he doesn't, but I'm not convinced that this move completely keeps him outta the murk, and that has nothing to do with him particularly and more so to do with label tactics. The difference now is obvious, but like I said, I'm just gonna wait for evidence. Trying not to speculate.
We will see but the new Kendrick album crack
Oh wow. This s*** starting to make sense. That’s crazy and might be a big reason for hus drop in quality.
Yea if you compared his album team under a label vs his team today you could tell the quality was always gonna fall way off. Nigga was employing the janitor 😂
