Rappers are not being robbed.. at least for the most part.. The one's who get juxed for jewelry have a scheme .We all know recording artists don't make any significant skrilla unless they are moving multi million units , and even then the lawyer/management/tax percentages and the labels re-coupables leave the artist with enough money to pay off the extortionist wolves in the hood. So they have one of the "boyz in the hood" jux em for the "Insured by the record label" jewels and go split the loot.

talking about violence ain't cool. I know artists that have been robbed, but why would you talk about it on the internet. Put the guns down.

HAHAHA, yeah, that's probably what was going on when they shot Tupac in the balls... there has NEVER been even ONE gold chain or four finger ring 'insured' by a record company EVER.

 

Face reality, rappers AREN'T gangstas. No matter how Gangsta they front, if they made real bank like a gangsta they would full time in that arena.

 

It's all show biz, like wrestling. (Wrasslin')

sure theyare .. the label buys the artist what ever they feel should accomodate the image projected ..If it means having them drive a Bentley and live in a mini-mansion . Of course they do the rappers don't buy anything on their own. A record label does this to make sure the artist will always owe money .This way ,when the record does break that multi million unit selling point there is an excuse as to why the artist can't begin breakin bread off sales. Why .. oh maybe because we spent x amount of $$ on jewelry ,cars,cribs,plane tickets, luxury accomodations and all the other perks for the last x amount of years and we want it all back with interest down to the extra pickles on your burger deluxe purchased by me your A&R last year before the Blank-Awards show .. remember ?

 

So yes the label does insure all that material crap .They want every dime they invest back !

posted right after a strangely removed response ^^^

but any way

 

Alot of people don't understand the "proper" terminology "Advance", so you have to speak in graf . And yes it is a scheme ,because the label has no part in the scripted robbery .

 

Since most of the time the "Advance" doesn't last the artist three months into his three to six year three to six album deal, he has to resort to a scheme to suppliment his $30.00 per day per diem .Why because his publishing is very likely to be co-owned by the label that aquires this right as means to secure recoupables .

 

There is probably no artist right now that is signed to a record deal that can say he doesn't co-own his publishing with his label .And probably no artist signed to a label that can say that he will every be clear from the red during the life of his contract .

 

So faking a robbery to fence your own jewelry is a hot scheme .You keep the loot and the insurance check back the label takes that owed expense off of the artist shoulders .Brilliant

No, we're talking about the record biz, so I'm gonna talk in 'record biz'

 

If the artists can't figure out how to survive on $30,000 over 9 months then it's their own fucking stupidity. $30 a day per diem??? Shit, (In the REAL world of music) you ONLY get that on tour, and then ONLY on 'play dates'...

 

Just because rappers fail to make good deals doesn't make the record companies at fault, they are out to fuck the artist, and always have been... as has been EVERY intermediator in EVERY art transaction THROUGHOUT history... Ignorance is NO excuse.

Let me tell you about car dealers... My friend's uncle does that... so... here's the deal...

 

go to the auction, buy a car for $700, take it home and sell it as a buy here/pay here deal for $1400... make $700, wait for the person to stop paying for the car... go reposess it, refurbish and sell again for $1400... rinse and repeat...

 

I think the record car on the lot has been sold 7 times

AND ANOTHER THING... the advance is only a front for sales of the first record... you think their gonna dump a ton of money on someone because they have a three RECORD deal without one in the can? OR, one on the streets already making money?

 

*"per day per diem" is redundant, per diem MEANS per day
