You know what I hear out of UMGs argument?
"Hey only we can steal from and underpay our artists."

Yo this documentary took an unexpected turn. Great work Yassine. Be careful out there man

It turns out, since 1996, a very small, intimate, and similarly-faith-based group of individuals started purchasing up radio stations by the thousands after Clinton repealed certain laws that made it impossible for one company to have a monopoly on telecommunications. Since Clinton repealed that law, we've seen every entertainment company in America get conglomerated into about 6 businesses. This is what happened in Japan and Korea in the 1950's, and why their entertainment industry is filled with suicides, burn-outs, 25 year long contracts that shaft the performer, and insane ticket-prices.

Now a very small cadre of Israeli-Americans such as Scooter Braun and others mentioned here happen to own about 80% of the entire U.S entertainment industry, and they intentionally kill the careers of, and promote careers of, people who adhere to their political alignment. This is why rap in the USA has focused on hood-rats and mass-killings and drug-dealing and why conscious EmCee's and intelligent rap like Non-Phixion and Immortal Technique are shadow-banned from mainstream listeners.

This video feels like it’s shadow banned

This is old school journalism. Better watch out as this is bringing too much truth to light.

As a musician of nearly 40 years, I had, and have zero interest in the music business.. I spent my youth working in it and trying to find success but quickly realised the whole thing was fixed, and had nothing to do with quality music or talent. Luckily I use the gifts God gave me to help younger people use music to grow and express themselves in a healthy way… I urge them to love music and not focus on success.. music has so much more to offer than money

I've watched this video literally front to back, three times. It is criminally underrated... Whatever the views, I appreciate you bro. This is everything I care about in long form, with a lot of connecting information no mainstream outlet would ever touch... For obvious reasons.

[rarlotus]

So much information in this one. This the type of videos that should go viral

[survivingthetimes]

Buncha billionaires fighting over money. Imagine that.

[DuckiesDad]

Yassine is COOKIN!!! You went deep, and I’m officially signing up for your patreon. The Israel part is going over a lot of heads though.

[remyxxx]

I've watched many HelloYassine videos, all of which I've loved.
This is journalism !...this is a documentary. I must say Well done man. The growth is Amazing 👏 🙌

If you make music, make sure it’s something you love doing and focus on the joy it brings you to create something. The moment you try to make money from it will change your relationship with it.

Not saying you shouldn’t try, just don’t let the idea of chasing fame kill your love for the music.

All of this to say, that artists will always be screwed over, a tale as old as time. Independent artists ftw.

UMG:We're taking our shit

TikTok: Ayite Bet! 😂 😂 😂

UMG: Chill Cuh Chiiiil 😂

[DeannCoates]

This actually proves, it does not matter where you are in this world, we "little people" are always trying to be mind controlled by puppet masters instead of letting us think for ourselves.

Bro dug to the centre of the earth for this video

[polluxcastor]

Yassine long form content is extremely appreciated and your subject selection is excellent.

[kowloonbroadcast]

man, this was a ride. thanks dude, great job 👏🏼

[connormcclosky]

Super happy to see you back with another video. Hope the algorithm picks it up a bit more soon. We all know your production value and ideas are at a quality deserving of WAY more than the 60k views this has right now. Keep it up man🎉

[cloversheartbeat]

WELL THAT JUST MADE ME FEEL MORE UNSAFE IN THE WORLD, WE HARDLY HAVE ANY MEDIA NOT UNDER CONTROL OF WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO SAY OR DO!
