Kanye has so many good ideas but he has no idea how to convey them to people.

its more that this stuff feels like hes just throwing s*** out into the public eye for no reason
tweets like that make it feel like its more for promo than it is for him actually trying to make a change

I know its kanye and he does s*** like this but I wish I had seen him doing this stuff before he turned it into a twitter fiasco. people dont take his rants seriously because he does weird (funny but weird) tweets like that in the middle of it

this is a 54 year old man

most artists are independent. most independent artists own their masters

people just don't know how to comprehend s***

It’s funny seeing kanye tweet out all these vc’s knowing them

A real man isn’t afraid to ruffle feathers to fight for what they believe is right

Bunch of pussies crying about a black man fighting to get his masters and change the explosive music industry

Well his tweets got him a call with a director of vivendi. Probably didn't accomplish anything practical but they aren't useless

holy f*** youre annoying

do you ever get off Kanyes d***? because if the last two years haven't given you enough reason to question the sht he says then what will?

They've been doing business like this for decades.

There's no incentive to topple an 8 billion dollar a year asset because of Kanye. Only hope is that newer artists don't take these deals anymore.

did you ever think that maybe there is a reason why he is doing this? airing this business out publicly?

I promise you these people do not want to take a call with kanye west. But what they want even LESS is to go on twitter and see all of this

Maybe, but that shouldn’t be something to chastise people for especially if they’ve been conditioned to think a certain way. That line of thought just further separates us and kills communication

I think any attempt by streaming service to start signing artists would result in HARD pressure from labels to cease doing so

and right now labels have the power in that dynamic

in 5 years time though when independence is even more possible/common and streaming services have more market share sewn up? definitely a possibility

That should be assumed tho. Tweeting s*** like Come. And. Get. Me. while tweeting about serious subjects like this just make him look crazy to people. Especially after who previous rants.

If it's 300M then I get why he's doing this because they'll never give it back.

At the end of the day its a business
And artists with 0 leverage have no choice but to take that advance and give up ownership and just accept the standard royalties

look at his tweets about y combinator

I agree but at the same time I cant help but feel like he can not make it a show and still get that call

maybe im wrong and hes been trying! id love for that to be the case

people are going to misunderstand ye? oh no how will he ever recover

Ur right, but I'm like 90% sure he's talking bout mainstream artist that generate labels massive amounts of money while not owning their masters and getting little back

Yeah constant winning and predicting the future and standing behind what’s right really a reason to be turned off

Bro you should make a PR sxn where you can just worry about how things are going to be perceived all day cause I don’t worry about that s*** I think long term

hes one of the greatest rappers to ever live

We'll see what happens but I don't think anything will change. Tweets are different from actions.
