Frenetic Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 His deal with interscope is just distribution and promotion wise. Now as we know, alot of us have been unsatisfied with the singles released, or mostly the time they've been released and so. And the promotion. Now what if he signed with Koch? Koch distributes cd's. u get like 4-9$ per cd sold, but u have to pay for ur own vid's, ur own promotion and u have to pay for the guest appearances directly from your own pocket. But on the other side... YOU decide what kind of promotion you do, you choose the singles and u have more freedom to do whatever u want. alot more responsibility on the artist. How would that be?

PeaceAngel Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I think that would actually be a good idea! If Will could choose the songs he wants to release and choose how he wants to promote it, he would getting a lot more recognition than he does right now! He could probably afford to have his own videos and guest appearances too, so I think that would be a good move for his career if he did that. :word: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash trey Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Fair enough since money aint a thang for Will Smith. So I guess it would be a good idea. :2thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 That'd really be a good move for both Koch and Will, Koch needs to have a big name on there and Will'd have more creative freedom than he'd on any mainstream label....

Turntable Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 That would suck. He would sell **** just like KRS. Nope.. Will Smith? Were talking about THE Will Smith?Indie?Hell no! I would rather like see him sign too Def Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenetic Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 People say Koch is not a good label cause they never go Plat. But that's cause their artists ain't got so much money from the beginning. But Will is LOADED. he could easily afford a huge promotion tour.

It wouldn`t be on Tv or something. That wahts up with Indie Labels. It would happen the same way to like to KRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will's got the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) You think KRS got no money? It`s about televison deals and stuff with magazines. Koch ain`t got ****. And even if it would work out.. I just don`t see Will Smith on a Indie Label. Edited December 15, 2005 by Turntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) KRS got millions of dollars but there's no way he's got Will Smith money, he ain't making 20 million a film, KRS needs to be on an independent label or else he'd be broke, Kanye's selling 2 million on Def Jam and yet he's $600,000 in debt so I'd imagine how much debt KRS would be in with a gold record on Jive records, being on independent label is KRS' source of income, he had to go independent, he'd probably like to promote his stuff too but he don't wanna be broke doing it, all he does is rhyme, his only passion is hip-hop, he don't do anything on the side like Will does, it's 2 different situations, Will has enough money to start his own label, he don't have to sign to anybody actually, Will could actually help Koch become a mainstream label the way that Dr. Dre helped Interscope become mainstream, that used to be an independent label too...

rcpbball30 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 That is not a bad idea once you consider the amount of money Will has. Sure, KRS has some money, but it doesn't compare to Will, not many people do. As long as he was willing to put forth enough of his own money, it would be good, because he would really have no restrictions on what he could do. Signing with Def Jam wouldn't be bad either, him and LL could get on a track together, I would prefer Def Jam over Interscope, definitely.

JumpinJack AJ Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Koch makes sense 4 some artists...but not for FP. They distribute alot of artists who should be topping the charts and selling millions, but aren't. Most people don't even know that Boyz II Men and Montell Jordan released albums since they were on that label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 You know if Will spends all of his money to promote an album on Koch and it flops then we might not get anymore albums from him, he might have to go to acting full time just to stay out of debt, that sounds like a fantasy if he could make an independent label popular, but there's too much risk... btw, KRS had problems with Koch in 2003 when they released his "kristyles" album prematurely with less tracks than what he wanted so is there really creative freedom? Not to mention how is Talib Kweli's new album doing, didn't even know it came out? Exactly! It won't work, face it. :paperbag: Will should go to Def Jam, he should've started his career there in the first place and they probably wouldn't drop him even when "Code Red" flopped 'cause they didn't drop LL when "14 Shots..." flopped...
