A (black owned, operated & independent) Hip-Hop Experience currently located inside of @tgan_baltimore : 805 E. Baltimore St. — Baltimore, MD 21202 🔥🏆🔥
Imagine if that party (in 1973) took place in Cali or the Midwest instead of New York.. how much different would hip-hop be today? What would be some of the biggest and most drastic differences? 🤔
Maybe we trippin but.. why are so many grown a** men overly concerned with another man’s hair & attire? Ya’ll forgot how to just discuss hip-hop & dissect bars? Now everybody is barbers and beauticians all of a sudden? Wtf is going on? 🤔
“If you were born past the 90s, we don’t wanna talk to you.”
Method Man & Redman send a message to the crowd during their recent performance in Boston, & Method Man tells people who were born in the 2000s to shut the f*ck up when grown folks are talking.
Young artists: you don’t have to give up ownership of your publishing. A co-pub deal gives a publisher an ownership stake in your songs. All you need is an admin deal, which allows the publisher to collect your royalties for a fee. You maintain 100% ownership.
Not sure WHO needs to see this but.. well, it’s actually quite a few of ya’ll so let’s be clear.. MORE THAN ONE IDEA CAN EXIST AT THE SAME TIME.. multiple HIP-HOP museums, collections, pages, podcasts etc. — too many of ya’ll wanna be “the only one”.. which is weird…
Please.. stop confusing “the rap industry” with HIP-HOP CULTURE… they are not “one in the same” — sometimes they cross paths and collaborate but MUSIC BUSINESS is just a bigger entity that has helped AND helped-to-destroy certain sectors of hip-hop.. need we say more?
Rsonist from Heatmakerz says he always wanted to get a placement on a JAY-Z album, & Hov made a song over 1 of his beats but after Guru told him he was Dipset’s main producer, Hov erased the song 😭
DJ Quik on why he believes analog tape is better for recording music than digital, claiming it captures the energy and feeling in a room while explaining why the album Thriller sounds different on vinyl compared to iTunes.

In ATL will also focus on artist development, building community + health & wellness.. there will be workshops, there will be food, there will be activities, art, games and a POOL 😳🥳 see ya’ll soon?
A&R changed because the major label business model changed.
It no longer makes financial sense for a label to sign an artist with no momentum. And it doesn’t make sense for the artist either. That contract would be terrible.
Sign a deal when you need gasoline for the fire.
Royalties, playlists, AI, fake streams, rights holders, the artist middle class...
We get into all of it with Spotify exec, Bryan Johnson.
Not a puff piece. Not a takedown. Just clarity.

Some of these podcasts that discuss the music industry would benefit greatly from bringing in a cohost who actually understands the modern music business. A lot of bad information goes unchallenged.
