no doubt... Quincy Jones saved Will n Jeff... they made sure they didnt make the same mistakes twice... we all can learn from them.

Jazzy Jeff has ALWAYS held it down. I've seen this awhile back but its so true. JJ is definitely one of my favorite producers of all time.

this is real man. ive been telling upcoming artists this forever. its the people behind the scenes making money. look at neyo he was making money way before he was singing cause he was writing. music publishing thats where its at. get ya ascap and bmi up . i can care less about ya million album sales let me see them royalty checks.

good looks Slik...this is realness...right now major labels can eat a fat one! You cant stop the rape once your'e involved with these companies. I think knowing the business is nothing but knowing that the rape is inevitable.

funny stuff, i like the 2 short video that pops up after the jeff one is done. its like the first or second to choose from.
first and foremost you should always ask yourself: how do you measure success.

Dope post...

That's EXACTLY what happens. It's also dependent on the deal. Most people are so enticed by the prospect of a record deal that they'll sign anything. Most of the times the label has enough leverage over the artist to make them sign the bad deal.

Man, that story about accepting the Grammy and crying afterwards cuz he only had $500 in his bank account was sad...
