I get the feeling that you guys want me to start an ILL label.

I’d be your A&R and one helluva gatekeeper.

I mean independents were definitely a good way to go before, particularly if you are niche.

Most indy splits were 50/50 you and the label. Major splits typically 90/10 in favor of the label... however you could still and likely get more on a major than you would on an Indy due to the sheer numbers.

And back when, even if you let them splash the cash on you limos blow private jets hookers and champagne, it was likely actually expensed as a loan you had to pay back... but if you never did make it back, no worries they write it off and you had an amazing time. But they were also getting high off your money.

But rather that than some bland life as a <insert mundane job here> nah?

Fame is fleeting, it comes and its all over before you even know it, then spend years of your life, getting plastic surgery or doing "whatever it takes" just to try and keep a grasp on a thread of relevance and get some of that ole attention back. Its the mundane existence that keeps putting food on the table and a roof over the head before and long after the party is over. Sometimes we have to do things that secure our survival before worrying about having fun and fucking hookers that have had 10 cocks up them that day, or having a brain turned to mush by the drugs, an alcoholic or have been compromised at some industry party where you took one too many drugs, got compromised and now only have a shitty deal to sign because they have video of you being fucked in the arse by 6 men. Nah mean?

Fame @2GooD Productions is a social construct designed to prey on people’s insecurities.

Nah, fame is not being able to go out without being recognised and bothered, its having journalists going through your rubbish looking for a scandal, its having the newspapers making up absolute bollocks about you if you don't support the "current thing". Fame is a curse IMO.

@Armani giving the thumbs up/down and cold hard truth to each artist.

Equivalent of giving his political leaders nuclear weaponry.

But sure. I support this.
