Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage.

[melvinwatson]

Music industry is a dope game with lawyers and attorneys

[dreamsofkaia]

Most of our favorite artists are basically slaves to their label

[Tsudkyk]

Let’s take back the music industry. Support local artists, buy there merch and see them live.

This is from Joe Rogan's interview with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins. If you are a musician: aspiring, veteran, in-between, you HAVE TO watch that interview, it is amazing are scary all at once.

That’s what’s so powerful about social media and paying attention to your negotiating skills. If you have talent and people like you they can be sidestepped them, because they’ve always been the middleman and now that’s evaporating. It’s nice to see humanity start to take their power back. Once you sign they got that ass on whatever you signed. NEVER GIVE YOUR POWER AWAY.

Now imagine NOT being Billy Corgan and NOT being one of the best bands of all time. Makes you think twice about getting into this business.

[BaddieBossUniversity]

The music industry is the pimp game. Perfect business to study

[MrSilus]

He should tell ppl how they control some of your lyrics and the artists are used as tools to push out programming.

[Jaysmooth]

The music industry basically pimps you out in a way

[amor]

Prince, michael, witney etc
dmx song industry describe it so well

[RRRSoulEvan]

That’s why I stay independent. You make your own money, you do your own marketing, everything. As long as you put your hard work into it and smart with it. That’s why I’m mainly just listening to independent artist now. Fuck the mainstream cause they just make similar sounds and that’s more important too. You get to create your own sounds if you can make beats if not then find a friend to help you or just start learning to make beats your own. Period!

*Your Favorite Artists Are Being Pimped*

[HakeemTheDream]

When I seen the thumbnail to this clip I automatically thought it was going to be about a rapper, because they're always exposing the music industry the most. Now I see artists from all genre's are being screwed over with their contracts

[scottjohnson]

New Orleans, the Melancholy tour, you told us all how tired you were and voiced your feelings about this. Broke my heart because in that moment I knew what you were going through. Well Billy, we didn’t forget you or your music! Love you bro!

[darrylwayne]

If u want to know how to do it right in the music Industry, look into Russ’s story. It’s surprisingly inspiring to see how he held out for years until he built his own success without a label or contract

[thefucrew]

Billy is such a genuine guy.
I used to be security at The Metro, and even his personal security on Wednesdays where he would go look at up and coming bands.

[varunchandrasekaran]

lol you know Dorian's audience is young af when he gotta refer to Corgan as "an artist worth $60m".

[BluWaves]

That’s why you create your own buzz & let the record label come to you. Independence is key but note with social media you don’t need a record label to distribute your music. I do mine from my iPhone.
