I mean, Kanye will be fine but if he wants people to understand these new idea I don’t think it is helping. I’m not saying this to hate on Kanye.
most only truly understand and believe when they see
ye’s target audience is not the common person right now, all he needs the common person to do is simply digitally react and bring attention to him, which as a result puts public pressure on these powerful people to take a call with ye
ye’s said it in multiple recent interviews, that words can fail to convey things, some things just need to be shown. He wouldn’t have any need to do this right now unless he was being blocked from contacting the people he wants to contact
i just want god level
Sorry guys I just think safe is a p****
You could say he really likes to play it safe
man Kanye has literally been doing this s*** for one day can we not
Frank became fully independent at the cost of the label
Jay set up Tidal which pays artists 4x as much as Spotify and has consistently talked about owning masters and has helped other artists get ownership
Chance has done more than kanye at this point

Let's be nice
He's not claiming anything tho lol he just talking about independence for major artist I dont really see ur issue tbh lol
Edit: I don’t even know why I typed all of this
I am waiting patiently for russ to flex on having all ownership of his masters
Sorry PR ring leader but I’m not a Trump supporter
but I thought Kanye was constantly winning and predicting the future?
you mean he can be wrong????

You mean the Tidal that would’ve been a loss venture for Jay if Kanye didn’t come through and triple the subscriber count with TLOP?

Tidal doesn't do anything on the label side tho right? They just take less of a cut than other services
but I thought Kanye was constantly winning and predicting the future?

Yeah he’s wrong about somethings
Doesn’t mean I’m going to crucify him and claim he’s wrong about EVERYTHING cause I’m not a little p**** like you

first off that isn't true - he doubled subscriber count and a significant amount of that was because people signed up for free trials
second why does that even matter? its still Jay doing significantly more for ownership and artist empowerment than Kanye has done
sure
but I think its far more common for artists who actually have that leverage to still make these mistakes
theres the two angles
one is that leverage needs to increase. its already increasing because artists can get their music distributed for essentially nothing now
two is that artist who have that leverage need to have the background knowledge to make smart choices with what they agree to
Sometimes its more comfortable for the label to handle all the business stuff
Unless you have a really strong team behind you you may not know where to start regarding distribution/marketing/touring etc
mmm fair
I do think hes in a unique position as an artist that he could probably get those calls though. at the end of the day hes worth an enormous amount of money
5 years ago sure I get the venting on twitter
but now when hes a billionaire and in those corporate circles already. I just feel like he has the ability to approach it without it being a public show
I know a ton of people see Kanye tweeting the way hes tweeting rn and dismiss it as crazy and unhinged and I feel like this is something that absolutely shouldn't get labeled like that
bro as im sure you know, when you are an artist on his level, money does not matter at all when it comes to getting your masters back
he’s stated multiple times he’s already tried to buy them back and they won’t let him. You think that because he’s a billionaire those people automatically respect him enough to just hand this freedom back to him or take a call with him about it just out of pure respect for his status, which is just a fantasy
the public’s reaction to this does not matter, all that matters is that it gets a reaction
Yeah he’s wrong about somethings
Doesn’t mean I’m going to crucify him and claim he’s wrong about EVERYTHING cause I’m not a little p**** like you
when did I say he was wrong about everything? you just hear someone criticize kanye and get on the defensive
Sorry guys I just think safe is a p****
You could say he really likes to play it safe
Safe slander ?
