a text he posted said $300m
Forbes said his music and GOOD are worth $90m+
His stake in his music is worth 90 million bro
CAUSE HE DOESNT OWN HIS MASTERS

You really just dumb
people are going to misunderstand ye? oh no how will he ever recover
I mean, Kanye will be fine but if he wants people to understand these new idea I don’t think it is helping. I’m not saying this to hate on Kanye.
Ur right, but I'm like 90% sure he's talking bout mainstream artist that generate labels massive amounts of money while not owning their masters and getting little back
yes, in typical Kanye fashion, he is claiming to be pioneering something that has already existed in the underground/indie scene
We'll see what happens but I don't think anything will change. Tweets are different from actions.
the actions can only happen once he gets in a room/on a phone with them. He’s clearly using twitter as a means to do that. This is the first step of action
We'll see what happens but I don't think anything will change. Tweets are different from actions.
If it’s one thing you should know is Ye about that action
did you ever think that maybe there is a reason why he is doing this? airing this business out publicly?
I promise you these people do not want to take a call with kanye west. But what they want even LESS is to go on twitter and see all of this
mmm fair
I do think hes in a unique position as an artist that he could probably get those calls though. at the end of the day hes worth an enormous amount of money
5 years ago sure I get the venting on twitter
but now when hes a billionaire and in those corporate circles already. I just feel like he has the ability to approach it without it being a public show
I know a ton of people see Kanye tweeting the way hes tweeting rn and dismiss it as crazy and unhinged and I feel like this is something that absolutely shouldn't get labeled like that
yes, in typical Kanye fashion, he is claiming to be pioneering something that has already existed in the underground/indie scene
he isn't claiming to have come up with these ideas, he's claiming that he's championing them
hence the prince tweet
n if he's bringing these ideas out of the underground/indie to the mainstream, then thas good
mmm fair

Even though he's a billionaire, he's still seen as Kanye West, the crazy rapper who is married to Kim Kardashian. He can't just call up these people to talk about these difficult topics. His tweets give them bad pr kind of forcing them to take a call with him to make up for it
At the end of the day its a business
And artists with 0 leverage have no choice but to take that advance and give up ownership and just accept the standard royalties
sure
but I think its far more common for artists who actually have that leverage to still make these mistakes
theres the two angles
one is that leverage needs to increase. its already increasing because artists can get their music distributed for essentially nothing now
two is that artist who have that leverage need to have the background knowledge to make smart choices with what they agree to
Shouldnt he keep this to himself???
You could possibly say this about everything he says publicly but this ye lol
people are going to misunderstand ye? oh no how will he ever recover
but thats not the point lol
its not about how it looks on Kanye its about him conflating these important things with what people view as crazy and delusional thoughts
yes, in typical Kanye fashion, he is claiming to be pioneering something that has already existed in the underground/indie scene
He's not claiming anything tho lol he just talking about independence for major artist I dont really see ur issue tbh lol
Yeah constant winning and predicting the future and standing behind what’s right really a reason to be turned off
Bro you should make a PR sxn where you can just worry about how things are going to be perceived all day cause I don’t worry about that s*** I think long term
enjoy voting trump!
Even though ye is fighting the good fight I dont really think much is going to be accomplished and he doesnt really need to show us all these updates of him just contacting people
This is a more tame rant and I dont think anything is wrong w him rn but I wouldnt be surprised if this was a maniac episode
enjoy voting trump!
Thats haram
easy to say ths when you have all the money in the world to do whatever you want
he should sign new comers to good if he doesnt wana see em in s***ty contracts
Def jam is an awful label and good is under def jam . Nah
Even though he's a billionaire, he's still seen as Kanye West, the crazy rapper who is married to Kim Kardashian. He can't just call up these people to talk about these difficult topics. His tweets give them bad pr kind of forcing them to take a call with him to make up for it
I agree but its like a cycle right
he tweets like this and people view him that way
because people view him that way he cant get what he wants
so he tweets like this
