@jmikemakesmusic: Everybody celebrates the million-dollar advance… until they realize it’s the worst loan in music history. Taxes, managers, lawyers, dinners, studio time, promo all recoupable. That “million” shrinks to $200K fast, and before you know it you’re $3M in debt while the label still owns your masters. It’s not free money it’s debt in designer packaging. #musicindustry #ArtistAdvice #MusicBusiness

That’s why I don’t get why ppl sign deals. It gets you good features and producers and all of that but you literally sign your soul away😩

When a hustler received the work what did he do ( he flipped it ) he did not use it or spend it, he used it for what it was intended for. What did Diddy and Jay-Z do with their advances and profits ( Flipped it ) Diddy had a deal with Arista that was 50/50 split after expenses, after a term, either side could purchase out the partner, what did Diddy do find investors flip some money, create a new company ( Sean John), if profitable, use profits to aquire remaining % of label. Most individuals are ( Not ) business minded, they think that advance is the Win and not the opportunity too win.🙏
