How to something about the music business.

It was something about that.

I forgot the title, but it was a long ass title.

Oh, it was all about the music business.

That's what it was.

All about the music business.

And I read it and I understood the dynamics of how it all worked.

And I was like, oh, so the money's made if you got your own label.

It's not actually being the artist unless you're just a successful artist that know how to tour, that understand merchandise and all this other stuff.

you need the label, because that right there becomes bulletproof.

And that's when I said, okay, cool.

I'm just going to start my own label and just find distribution.

But I was like, how the fuck am I going to distribute it?

That costs even more money to create.

Then I found that they had things which you call joint ventures, where you can just partner with a distributor and give them a percentage, and they have that part, and you have the content.

And I was like, that's what I want to do.

No, they are.

They are.

Yes, we were.

Buying them.
