JumpinJack AJ Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 The cool thing about Will getting on a good label is that we'll probably hear alot more music (better music). When he waz on Columbia, i don't think he had much of a drive 2 do music simply cuz they had 2 much control and were way 2 much about the business, money, and fame. Of course Will dosen't mind that either, but Columbia didn't care about his art...only his sales. With the right label, we could see alot more music from Will without such huge gaps between albums...not 2 mention more cameos on other people's trax.

mfuqua23 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yeah. That's great news. That may be just what we need 2 feel the essence of hip hop again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It´s not about the money, its like the others said. Worldwide promotion + distribution, full control about which tracks should make it on his album and which make it as single. That would be the main aspects to consider I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Control over the music has nothing 2 do with big label vs. independent label. The control of the artist will vary from label 2 label no matter what the label is. The real reason 2 be on a big label is properly have your album promoted so that the artist themselve isn't doing ALL the work and putting ALL their own money up front. The bigger the label, the more copies of the album and the more locations it'll pop up in. For instance, Britney Spears puts out her album thru' Jive, a big label, and each music store will have like 100 copies of it on the shelves and on display. Jazzy Jeff releases his album on BBE, an independent label and u find about 5 copies of the album in music stores, and NO COPIES of it department stores. Of course that's not the best kind of example cuz they are 2 different kinds of artists from 2 different kinds of music and with 2 different kinds of fanbases...but that kinda sums it up.
