@jacobsawley I didn’t say this opportunity is value-less, but it’s not helpful at all. Most of these acts who play these big festivals can’t sell out a 100 cap room in a top 25 market. Doing festivals ahead of when they’re ready isn’t a good thing. Cart before the horse.

Back in the day, most artists would begin their career by playing for a crowd of 13 people — except it would be at a dingy 100-cap venue, not Rolling Loud. And the value was in the experience. It helped the act become a better performer. Festivals fucked it all up.

@BrevinKim Yeah but he had to get to that point with other music, context plays a huge role in identity

@acfreedmanlaw Don’t you get stuck in a deal you can’t recoup? Then potentially lose a lot of freedom as an artist

A loan you don’t have to pay back!
Unless they’ll make the deal significantly better without it, TAKE THE ADVANCE!
Also, trying to get your royalties from these labels and publishers is usually a nightmare, so get that money upfront lol

An advance is nothing but a loan.

@DonnaCWrites @djboothEIC I really can’t wait to hopefully get a sense of what Mac was like just as a day to day person. How he was an artist in life in general, not just in his music. I waited for him outside one of his shows when he was like 18 and I was 12 and HE came right up to me, it made my week.

@ActuallyNotBill On that new song Jay-Z says he told Kanye to quit with the red cap, for Kanye to put that on the album I think he’s admitting the mistake

@geminitoofly Imo thats why you can only trust the ones that have done it for a while, and have a respected opinion/track record

@VisualNostalgia Back when 12 year-old me would periodically check the stock market for no reason

@saucemanBSM great energy, some of the adlibs were louder than the main vocals but that's cool if that's a new style too
