"People forgot that the music industry is really technology."

"Publishing was the first music industry."

He makes some excellent points in this clip.

Its so true when you actually think about what he's saying. I'm a music producer and I make money from my music being in games at the moment. People aren't buying the game for the music, the music is just an asset of the game to make it better.

Now that's a music history lesson. That's the most realistic thing I've heard so far my whole life within the new music industry, Thank you will.I.am.

This dude is so intelligent; he put out great information for aspiring artists.

Hes really telling it how it is. This is the only interview I've heard of someone spitting BLUNT facts on the industry that I can sit here and watch happen myself. Ya feel me?

What makes the recorded music industry so hard for many understand is there was a brief "golden period" in the 1980s and 1990s when a few high profile artists with relatively lucrative contracts (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, etc.) actually did make millions purely from record sales. But they were golden, polka-dotted unicorns (too rare to mention). It was never like that for most.

Thank you, Will.i.am! This makes me think of music making in a whole new way.

Yes in the modern music industry it is so. But music from the origin was use to tell stories, educate, worship and as therapy, a tool for healing. LETS NOT FORGET THESE PURPOSE ALSO.

Its a reality as a musician. There is nothing better then getting paid to create man

Man what he said is so true
There are sellouts out there and then there are the people in music who love the passion so much to hear and love the fans who listen to their music
Share music never keep it to yourself

Finally a big artist who tells it how it is, smart man, I just don't understand how models like Google Play or iTunes even keep up, EVERYBODY just listens to music for free in YouTube or Spotify

huge facts and another testament to how you can't just go in with blind passion as an artist. understanding and knowledge are your best friend in any industry. learn the rules so you can calibrate yourself accordingly

I go everywhere for music! Youtube, Shoutcast, Soundcloud, Beatport, Spotify, and still buy cds! There are some if us out here who go more on than just youtube.
