Speaker 3: So what you want me to do? What might what

was down for the program for over ten fifteen years
and nobody, nobody lifted a finger, made a phone call
or nothing for the old boy.
Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. So what you want me
to fucking do? That's crazy because you have some killer features.
Speaker 5: When I'm signed to a label like Mayback Music, I
had my hands tied.
Speaker 3: It's all up on the big dog.
Speaker 5: And then if you don't want to get me a budget,
then you won't give me a budget.
Speaker 3: Okay, aren't close anymore.
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna lie like not really as of lately.
Nah Nah, you know what I mean, but you know,
y'all talk it up. Nah, that's me selling my publishing.
Basically sold my publishing for for fifty thousand.
Speaker 3: They give twenty five thousand up front.
Speaker 5: They never, they never, We never did a second Triple
C album for me to get the other twenty five thousand,
but I still ended up paying back fifty thousand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sony ATV this is facts. And then my first album.
Speaker 5: Then my first album that I dropped Matt Middleton and
a bitch named.
Speaker 3: Meghan Price that was managing me at the time. They
thought I was cooked. So what they did was amended my.
Speaker 5: Contracts, So my back end of seventy five thousand on
my first fucking album and went to them.
Speaker 3: So I got fucked for that.
Speaker 5: So fuck Matt Middleton, Meghan Price and everybody who put
pop poles.
Speaker 3: In my road to success. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have it man, right there. Man, Yes, you
got it now. So now let's talk about it man.
And this is what I want to talk about to
y'all inspiring artists, because it's a lot of artists that's independent,
you see what I'm saying, inscribing to be either major
or further the independent movement. So let me break this
down to you. Okay, you got the music from two xpacts,
you got the major, and then you got the independent. Okay,
so now were you a major? You already know that.
You know you use a big dog, your top dog.
You feel what I'm saying, and you know you running
the game at a high level. You feel what I'm saying.
And it's a bunch of gate keepers. Then you got
the independent movements. You fee what I'm saying. The independent
movements is the movements that started off like grassroot independence,
like you know, cash money, grassroot independence that started off
like Rockefeller, grassroot independent movements that started off like no Limit.
You feel what I'm saying, and so forth and so on,
and you get what I'm saying. So now what it
is is with these independent movements, you have to have
a budget behind you. You feel what I'm saying in
the user All this Day is an independent movie. This
is what you have to have behind you. You gotta
have a budget behind you. Okay, you got to have
features lined up that's not just local features, because if
it's a bunch of locals just doing stuff around a
bunch of locals, y'all ain't gonna be not but local.
You feel what I'm saying, So you gotta take that
local artist, feel what I'm saying, in partner him with
major artists that has more success with them. That's what
a lot of endings don't want to do because they
just want to.
Speaker 3: Be the star.
Speaker 2: You what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But how you're gonna be the star and you won't
even partner with stars or how you gonna even think
about even being a star?
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, And you won't.
Speaker 1: Even you know what I'm saying, collab with stars to
take your starting to the next level.
Speaker 2: So you can't go on tour. If you can't get
on the track with a star, you ain't gonna be
able to get on tour in those stars.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And you number two you
need a budget for that. Then number three, you need marketing.
You need advertising. You know what I'm saying. Because if
you was an artist and you saying you got an
independent label, and if all your paperwork is right, the
reason why a lot of independence is not making it is
because you ain't got the proper marketing. You feel what
I'm saying, So you're not gonna be able to spend
your time marketing and promoting your movement and placing you
with other stars.
Speaker 2: That's in the spotlight.
Speaker 1: If you're creating, and you saying that you're creating you know,
albums and music and things of that nature. You know
what I'm saying, So now you need that on your team,
you feel I'm saying. And guess what it takes a
budget for that, feel what I'm saying. And then after that,
what you need to do is you need to actually
set up something with your independent movement to where you're
going on tour, you feel what I'm saying, and you're
booking gigs for your songs, because if you spending money
to actually record your songs, and if you spend the
money for videos, feelm saying, and you ain't got no
system to put to put the songs and the videos
in in order for.
Speaker 2: It to make you some money back. Also, you ain't
got no advertisement and no marketing.
Speaker 1: You feel I'm saying, on what you're doing so people
can know about it so you can get some money back.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying. Then you that mean that
you ain't gonna recruit nothing that you.
Speaker 1: Spend independently, you feel what I'm saying as supposed to
be an independent label for the money that you spend
on your projects, you feel what I'm saying, because screaming
just it just ain't gonna get you that million dollars
that you want, especially if you got your songs on
Distro kid, or you got your songs or you know
what I'm saying, D or DSP that discriputed music for you.
But if you ain't got no advertisement to get the
people to your links into your music, you're failing. And
then also if you ain't got no marketing to get
them there, you're feeling.
Speaker 2: And then if you ain't got no affiliates deal you
feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Affiliates dealers where you company your independent movement and your
influence as an artist, a rapper or poet or act
or whatever, with a brand that's popping and people are buying.
You feel what I'm saying. So you take your independent
movement and then you place that with this brand, and
then not only do you make money doing this, but
it places you alongside something that's major inside the game
and inside the world to market.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying. If you ain't got that,
you lose it. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And then also outside of that, now you taking all
your time with as soon as you did do and
you just performing it locally. You feel what I'm saying,
every little spot inside your city.
Speaker 2: You done tore up the spots.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, and you don't get that
little and you feel like you got motion just because
you put it on Facebook or you put it on Instagram.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying. That's not gonna get you nowhere.
Speaker 1: Sat With that being said, if you become successful like
how Gunplay did and got signed to a label was MMG,
a grassroot independent label, but Rick Ross had smalls to
know that he had to actually, you know, compare his
company with other companies to be competent, be competitive with
artist as he did that, and then also get them budgets.
You feel what I'm saying when they get features, because
you can have all the features from one of the
hottest artists ever and still don't make it. If you
ain't got no budget, if you ain't got no marketing,
if you ain't got no no no real sponsorship deals,
if you ain't got no real or advertising deals to
pleasure with brands and if you ain't going on tour
and getting booked, you feel what I'm saying. Well, all
that being said, you hearing it from somebody who made
it to the top. You feel what I'm saying. A
Rick Ross MMG artist Gunplay letting you know that that's
why he didn't shore, because the big dog didn't want
to cut a button for what he had going on.
You know what I'm saying, And I ain't want to
know market them right. You feel what I'm saying. I don't
want to take his publishing. That's another thing that you
got to understand. It's power and data and it's power
on publishing. And if you're seeing you independent but you
ain't got no outlets for for for your publishing, you
feel I'm saying to make no money, then you just
wasting your time.
Speaker 3: So for all of.
Speaker 2: Y'all who don't understand this and don't know how this work,
this is when top of the food chain and changement
come in.
Speaker 1: There's what I've been trying to abscribe to tell the
local artists and columb to South Carolina for the last
four years.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying, but they just don't get it.
Speaker 1: And that's why the the latest biggest act that did
come out of color in South Carolina is some Southern
soul artists shout out the Southern soul, shout.
Speaker 2: Up to take the front. You know, n up and
you really want to.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you feel what I'm saying and shout out
the Southern and so Man, Consultian soul got it going on. Man,
you know what I'm saying, Like, you got some artists
that's coming out of there that's doing the boots on
the ground. You know what I'm saying. All this is
like that really that whole lay. But I just gave
a big old side out the Southern soul man for
them said, because they get it and they know what's
going on. So Hey, top In Club Podcast, man Ilhol Radio,
