if a major record company came to you with a deal of your life time would you? if you didnt have to change any thing would you do it? why not get more paper and more fans?

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW IT WOULD WORK CUZ IT WOULD NEVER BE HOW U THINK

THEY STEP TO ME WITH THIS GREAT DEAL RIGHT? GREAT DEAL WOULD BE INVESTING 5 MILLION IN ME RIGHT??? GREAT
AND I CAN DROP ANY KIND OF MUSIC I WANT RIGHT? ALSO GREAT

BUT
HERE IS THE CATCH
THEY WOULD WANT ME SIGNED TO THEM FOR THE NEXT 10 ALBUMS - THATS LIKE 10 TO 20 YEARS STUCK WITH THEM AND IF IT GOES WRONG IM FUCKED - A SLAVE BASICALLY

THEY INVEST THE 5 MILLION AND FUCK IT UP SOMEHOW AND I ONLY GROSS 3 MILLION IN SALES CUZ MAYBE AFTER I SIGNED, SOMETHING WENT WRONG, MAYBE THE PEOPLE AT THE LABEL GET OFFENDED, WHO KNOWS, BUT I DONT GET PROMOTED PROPERLY AND NOW I OWE THEM 2 MILLION
SINCE THEY CROSS COLATERALIZE THE DEAL I OWE THEM ON EVERY ALBUM - THEY ONLY GIVE ME 1 MILLION TO PROMOTE THE NEXT RECORD
I GROSS 3 MILLION AGAIN - THEY RECOUP THE 2 AND 1 MIL IS LEFT
THEY GET 80% ATLEAST THAT MEANS THEY TAKE 800K OFF THE TOP
NOW I OWE 800K, AS YOU CAN SEE I WONT END UP GETTING PAID EVER FROM THIS DEAL

NOW DURING NEGOTIATIONS I TRY TO GET MY LAYWER TO MAKE THE DEAL GOOD FOR ME BUT EVERYTHING I WANT OUT ENDS UP BEING A DEAL BREAKER SO THIS DEAL WOULD NEVER HAPPEN UNLESS THEY COULD TOTALLY CONTROL ME FOR YEARS
AND THE FACT IS MAJOR LABELS WANT TOP 40 HITS
SO NO WAY THEY ARE GIVING ME THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME DROPPING THE SHIT I DROP CUZ THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT MONEY, AND THEY ARE IN IT TO MAKE 100 MILLION, NOT JUST 1 MILLION
AND THE WAY MAJORS DO ACCOUNTING I WOULD NEVER GET PAID

SO ME GETTING THIS DEAL YOU SPEAK OF IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, IM BETTER OFF INDIE - THE REASON NECRO WAS NEVER OFFERED A DEAL IS BECAUSE MY MUSIC IS VIEWED AS NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS SO THEY ONLY SIGN PEOPLE THAT THE A&R FEELS IS GUARANTEED SUCCESS - SO THEY WILL ONLY SIGN RAPPERS THEY FEEL ARE MARKETABLE AND NECRO IS NOT VIEWED MARKETABLE

Ask me anything
