I have no interest in talking to like, oh boy in Madrid, trying to get my shit on the radio.

I don't even know what the, I don't speak Spanish like that.

So why would I, so understanding, well, wait a second.

If I do this deal with such and such major, and if you really had the leverage to do that and your song is already working in said places, that's where they can come in and amplify at a real level.

But if you're naive and you got to remember, this is, I thought about not saying this shit and I feel like I need to, because we're at this place.

Right now, the way that the music industry is built for everyone involved, not just the major labels, it's incentivizing the short-term bag.

So the business manager is catching 5%.

The lawyer is catching 5%.

The manager is catching 20%.

All this is up front of whatever you sign on the front end.

But they're not incentivized in the long run.

So if some shit happens to you, God forbid –

They've already... They might not even finish the agreements for your album.

If you do some foul shit, they already made their money.

But if they were partners and it was in the long term of your product, I promise you, your business manager, your manager, and your lawyer would want to own those rights for the long term if they saw a future with you.

So...

Bringing those people into the fold out the gate and making sure y'all see eye to eye, all that shit is like a relationship.

And we have to level the playing field financially and from an incentivizing perspective for everyone involved.

That's where I think this shit is fucked up.

It's not because the majors are doing bad deals.
