derpmonster 22,412 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Edit: on further reading, this may mean he only owns 50% and he will give all of that back. If so, that's great and change OP title please Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 74,287 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 GOOD Music is a record label started by Kanye, and he's giving his ownership back (his 50%) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brecht 7 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 But he wants 100% of his masters back so why not give it all away? Edit: someone already explained it. That’s great,! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilMonst3r 5,544 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I still wouldnt work for his label. I dont want to financially support a man who does not align with my values. I appreciate that he wants to help artists, I just wonder how long it will take for them to get that 50%. Is there a gap in years? Cause that can spark an alternative conversation I wont get into just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasclautmangos 2,746 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm sure a few of the artists will let us know if it actually happens. Until then, this is about as valid as when he said he'd help Taylor get hers back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumzy3000 7,382 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 None of us are really artists who belong to major label so we do not know what they go through behind the scenes. I feel bad for him but I do think what he says about the music industry might be true. It does seem like the contracts and all the legal and financial stuff behind the scenes is exhausting and artists are upset and stressed they can not own all their work. They put in the hard work to make the music but at the same time, the label does promote it and they have the connections and knowledge to make things happen. Still, I do feel artists sometimes feel like a cash machine who feel like they are stuck in a contract. Perhaps this is why Gaga was so ironically anti-pop music in the ARTPOP era and why she even said she felt like she was just a money maker. trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is a move to stir something for the sake of something. But how is saying you're going to give your shares back to the artist on a sub-label edgy?
