slavery is a choice 🤔

Labels will renegotiate the contracts when everyone in America sings gospel for 30 mins uninterrupted. First rule of business

kanye bout to call drake

I'm positive that's why Drake is.

Taylor has the masters for her releases under them. Wayne does as well. And so does Drake.

Probably is drunk

It’s late night probe drunk couple bottles of wine and decided to tweet

Kanye sxn gonna slob his s*** no matter what

I hope not but I dont get why he has to do all this s*** publicly

like just f***ing get in contact with vivendi or umg and then tweet once you've actually achieved something instead of acting like you just fixed an incredibly pervasive issue because you had a phone call with a board member

"im about to call my brother drake... ill keep you guys updated"

"update... my brother drake did not answer"

Need Kendrick to tweet “@kanyewest we got work 2 do...”

probably something like this lmfao

he compared himself to moses, jesus, king arthur now

he is on his god complex messiah figure complex

Watching the throne is the most annoying twitter fanboy of all time, he’s prob ruining his shorts over this s***

there's a lineage with the men you mentioned

and kanye is apart of it

Just the way he's framing everything as "Im doing this for YOU" He's making himself look like a savior

i think u guys r really misinterpreting the non-billionaires tweet

he ain't saying he needs billionaire ppl to talk to cus he thinks they're superior ppl to others, he's saying it cus the billionaires r the ones running the game n he doesn't wanna be directed to a bureaucratic player (lucien, in this case)

however, i'm not sayin he's not being too ambitious here. i think the rzn he wants to talk to the billionaire leaders is that he wants to try to convince them to change their interests (which rllly likely wouldn't work) such that this whole new non-parasitic contract thing can happen

either that, or he actually has a plan that'd serve vivendi's interest of getting money while simultaneously serving artists' interests

and i'd be really surprised if that latter option were the case

point is tho, it doesn't need to be interpreted as simple hypocrisy. it can be, but i think that misses the point of trying to enact change quickly (which bureaucracy can prevent/outright block). that being said, i think it's rly easy to miss the point given how poorly he words things

Agree. I'm not sure the plan for new artists, but I think the plan should be spend as little as possible on your first release(s) and release an actual album and not mixtapes for the label to not count it as an album. And probably have something setup within the contract that gives the option to buy your masters.

drakes masters are such a weird thing lol
I dont know what he owns post IYRTITL cause I know he renegotiated a deal then
but before that I think UMG own 66% and Aspire own 33%
im sure he wants them back im not sure whether thats the reason for the distribution deal
distribution makes sense for him either way imo because they'll promote it and put it on radio and fund a video and etc. it makes his success a priority for them whereas if hes independent and earning all the revenue theres no incentive for republic to promote it for him

bc he said in 2001 that he's gonna be the biggest rapper ever (on video)

and he said in 2013 tha the's going to be the tupac of fashion

you have to learn manifesting and kanye's career makes a lot of sense. he's speaking to you as the richest rapper in the world rn

yea fr
the 'only taking advice from billionaires' thing really irks me lol
like just listen to people who know what theyre f***ing talking about kanye money doesnt validate or invalidate their knowledge

lmaoooooooo
