Yeah but still...

This could be all that they’re saying tho…testing waters

Especially with someone like Kanye who constantly calculates his value. Wouldn’t really know how much his publishing asset is worth without seeing how much a potential buyer is actually willing to pay. They’re not really saying the goal is to sell

There’s been so many deals over the last year for catalogs and likely several times as many artists checking with their team to test the market. Always felt like there’s something going on fans wouldn’t understand rn

Lol read the article.

At $5 million in annual income, a 35 times multiple suggests a $175 million valuation. While most superstar songwriters nowadays often seek a 30-times multiple, that’s rarely, if ever, been reached with even the highest-profile deals. The Bob Dylan publishing catalog, for example, is said to have gone to UMG for a 28 to 29 times multiple. Last year, sources told Billboard that some members in the Billy Joel camp were also testing the market to see what kind of valuation his catalog would fetch; it was unclear if Joel himself was on board with the play to test the waters. The Joel camp started out with even higher hopes before coming down to seeking a 35 times valuation. But potential suitors found that multiple too rich for their appetite, and no deal progressed to the point at which due diligence was performed, sources indicated.

And remember to look out for Key Terms like Masters, Publishing, Total and Distribution

That sounds like terrible advice By your valuations, he can make 125 now or 140 in 7 years… so why would he lol

Wayne sold his masters for $100m

For reference bob dylan sold his for like 300 m and neil young for 150 m.

Ye broke?

KTT RECORDS

so what's happening to Please Gimme My Publishing Inc ?

F*** valuation show me personal funds

Not really

if he can use those 175 mil to open his own factories like he said he would that would be a much better use of that money

music really aint s*** huh

always take the lump sum if you win the lottery

sell it ye

175m is way too much and nobody is buying for that price lmao

people really still think a billionaire has billions in the bank

Imagine all those people who spent thousands just to get Ye mumble demos over the years.

They could've just saved their money and bought his actual publishing 😂

yeah, he’d need the authorization of the new owner of his publishing if he wanted to re-record his albums like Taylor Swift did

publishing gives you royalties whenever your song is synced (like it plays on TV/radio/movie trailers/ads, etc.)

since Ye’s music plays a lot in trailers (i mean Murder to Excellence is in two Black Adams trailers if i’m not mistaken), i think it’s not worth it to sell his publishing since it still gives him money passively

however, like someone said, if he needs 175 million tobuy factories and basically restart from scratch his Yeezy empire, he might need the 175 mill upfront to flip it in 200 mill/year in like 5 years

saw this coming

kanye has to be insanely overextended

how?

all his music has like 12 writers per song and very few of them are without samples

there's not a lot of value there publishing wise

i bet it's much less than this number

I offer $200 bucks

I thought it wasn’t about the money

Not For Sale

Kanye’s Version Soon
