Why Labels Won’t Give Artists Their Publishing Back For 20 Years
20 Years 🤦🏽♂️
When you sign a record deal, you are paying for everything.
EVERYTHING.
The label calls this “recoupment”.
Any money you earn, goes towards “recoupment”.
Which means they are always going to pay themselves, before they pay you.
If they even do pay you.
@therealsirmixalot understood this.
He owns his masters to his records.
He owns majority of the publishing.
So when his records were running the culture in the 90s, he was cashing out.
This was pre Instagram, YouTube, Spotify and Fruity Loops.
You have no excuse today not to make money from your music.
You have no excuse today not to own your music.
No one forces you to sign anything away, you are choosing to.
The artists of yesteryear didn’t have the education, technology or resources to keep their masters and publishing.
We do.
So why the hell are you signing?
Why do you want to sign?
Laziness?
Perception?
Clout Chasing?
Impatience?
Keep your publishing and ownership of all your songs.
Your kids will be glad you did in 20 years.
I wanna know
