Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Exactly. This is not right at all. It's like Communism in a few senses. No it's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 No it's not Think about it. The way of Communism. Those on top dictate and change the rules as they see fit and get the biggest share of money and goods and everything because they're the top dogs and leave what's left to be spread among the lessers (in their opinion). They feel that they do most of the work and so deserve the biggest share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record companies help the artist grow to become superstars.. If Beyonce, Janet, MJ didn't have a label.. They'd be hippy no bodies selling their albums out their cars.. It's apart of the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apart of the business I agree with this statement. To reach a certain level of stardom an artist will ultimately need the support of a major label. It takes money to make money. Thriller was a good album, but it would not have sold no damn 25 million units if Epic wasn't giving crazy money to do those videos, promoting the hell out of those singles and forcing MTV to play MJ every hour on the hour. Indie artist have a freedom most major artist don't. But Major artist on major labels can build a stronger legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I worry about the American education system when our young people don't know the difference between capitalism and communism. As Game pointed out, what you've described above is capitalism, not communism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeon Dragon Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 If ya'll think back,remember when Janet was suppose to tour back during the 20yo era. Gil was saying that "ppl aren't believing in her" in other word the "suits" aka businessmen weren't believing in her and she was having a hard time getting a tour off the ground. It was because she couldn't find any promoters that wanted to invest in what she was tryna do for a tour. They felt fuckin with Janet was a gamble. Understandably so,I must say...considering where her career was at that time. They were tryna avoid what ended up happening with the RWU tour .. I honestly think that tour would have done JUST FINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
