Another baiting thread

AnonyNymous:

You're the only one that quoted me that knows what he's talking about. Lol. The rest are just openly displaying ignorance so I decided not to respond to them. In America, I like the way its structured though, because even though the big three have the most say in the release of your music, there are sooooo many benefits. They have networking, they carry out advertising for you worth millions, get you into high profile events, and so much more. When an artist is signed, they could be given about $2 million upfront, then a deal to get a reasonable percentage on the sales of their music, and royalties. When Prince was alive before he died in April/May, he made it clear to his label that he had zero tolerance for piracy of his work. As a Prince fan, his albums were very hard to find except paying for it on iTunes. Even on YouTube, any song, live performance, or even cover of a Prince song was immediately searched out and taken down by the label. There are so many benefits of their system that no African label can give you. Most Nigerian artistes make the bulk of their Monet from live shows, etc. Major labels will help you milk EVERY source of money you could get.

Aye, I hear you. The model you described above is no longer obtainable because of the change in demand . Most music buyers no longer buy cds but downloads on different platforms and that has cut deeply into the market share of the Music companies, so they no longer give advances like they used to in the 90s and 2000s.... They have what you call a 360 degree contract which allows a record label to receive a percentage of the earnings from all of a band's activities instead of just from record sales or money-making activities that the record label had a hand in.
Under 360 deals, which are also called "multiple rights deals," record labels may get a percentage of revenue that may have been previously off limits to them, such as:






•Advertisement
•Digital sales
•Tours, concerts and live performance revenue
•Merchandise sales
•Endorsement deals
•Appearances in movies and television shows
•Songwriting, lyric display and publishing revenue
•Ringtone sales

In exchange for getting a bigger cut from the artists they represent, the labels say they will commit to promoting the artist for a longer period of time and will actively try and develop new opportunities for them. In essence, the label will function as a pseudo-manager and look after the artist's entire career rather than only focusing on selling records.


Now you know artistes set up indie labels to avoid sharing profit with big labels.

The bottom line, is being under a major label doesn't necessarily guarantee success.

who is digging whose grave? is it u who don't know his left from his right or d man of whose track records had confirm his call. u guys would just open ur mouth wide and speak rubbish in d name of commenting. must u write. I pity u

No I pity you, who are always able to swallow hook, line and sinker every morsel thrown at you in the name of seeking salvation... Your cult of personality as opposed the worship of the creator has blinded you all to reasoning. Your search for quick solutions has led you to shamans, so called magicians and their bag of tricks....
You keep searching in all the wrong places and asking all the wrong questions.

Every new generation thinks their time is the last .. that their time is the most important in human history... Not realising that they are nothing but a speck in the eye of history.... Human ancestors have walked the Earth for over 6 million years.... I can assure you that there is nothing happening today that hasn't happened before in a different shape or form.


Anyone can read the Bible and make whatever ridiculous prediction they can conjure up and that is the magic of religion... The ambiguity.

Danimighty7:

Those ones you're mentioning dont have influence at all
Interscope Def Jam Roc Nation Ymcmb rules the American music industry

****Cries in cheerful ignorance****

Baba dem no nobi cattle which one be 'graze'?!

This guy should be Agbero minister and certainly not minister for sports...

There is no dark, darker than the distorted great light

The man is still digging his own grave

AnonyNymous:
Nigerians floating label anyhow. Nonsense.
In the American music industry there are only three labels: Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. Any other 'label' you hear about is actually a sublabel to one of these three, or an imprint. But in Nigeria you'll have one upcoming artist forming his own 'record label'. Lmao.

The structures are quite different so you cannot compare the 2 .... There are no big label companies you could compare with their American counterparts. Most Nigerian artistes form their label to push their own work and be free of a contractual shackle that Music labels often impose on Artistes.

My brother since I came unto this earth every single year is 'End Time'... why be so obsessed about a notion you or I do not have an idea about and live your life as judiciously as you deem fit. 60 years from now we will still hear the same old song.

PDBonline:


They are not special people. God gives people ability to do miracles when someone who needs it dares to believe Him for it. So it is not about the person who raised the dead but about the person who believes that God can raise his/her dead back to life.

We are not serving a dead god or an idea to be argued about. Our God is a God of love who does miracles to help us where we can't help ourselves because He loves us. And it doesn't matter how wrongly you've talked about Him and how bad you've lived, He is gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy and He will answer you if you call on Him from the depth of your heart.

The idea of miracle for miracle sake is just absurd..... Why try and give something that has a normal logical meaning into something supernatural. No one on earth has the power to raise a dead human from the dead. I repeat no one.

Maybe this already happens when we die. I always say that my idea of heaven would be to turn into some form of energy and be able to explore time and space, you would literally have the whole eternity to do it in! You would finally find out how life started on Earth, how our universe began and whether there are other intelligent beings in it.

You cannot properly structure FG's expenditure, some of which are needless wastes, going to the most inane and ridiculous things but you the Nigerian masses to pay for your lack of proper accountability...

Is alien life EVERYWHERE? Radical theory claims it may have become part of 'the fabric of the universe'

JuicyLucy:


Exactly my thought. It's the trauma that has led her through the life she led. Nothing to do with witch craft. She will have spiritual problems because what she went through as a child is enough to shatter the spirit within her.

She needs serious therapy to overcome her experience.

Yea true but the witchcraft narrative as absurd as it sounds is the one these people will go for....

factorial1:
...was about calling his attention to this.
Seun, please explain the science behind this. Thanks

^^^Very illogical statement above

Spiritual problems or is it psychological problems resulting from her trauma??!

LastMumu:


It is called _Penis Captivus and it is a rare medical condition that happens during sex when the muscles of the woman's pelvic floor contracts rhythmically during _orgasm and traps the _penis in it. It happens more frequently in animals than humans (particularly dogs), so there is nothing supernatural about it.

Educate yourselves... don't wallow in ignorance my people

Lets all just agree that all of us Nigerians are bona fide washers and be done with it

PDBonline:

Of course it was a big news but no matter how big the news there will be those who will not hear. Or do you think only what is shown on cnn is happening on earth? You only see on TV what they want you to see.

My friend stop drinking that zobo you are drinking... Do you know what kind of breakthrough that would be if it were true.?? Everybody and their dead mom will be lining up to get resurrected. The fear of death, of sickness will be forever erased because hey, we have these special people who can bring you back to life with a chant and a prayer.
Or is it not so?

I wont say mumu people because that is disrespectful and not my intention.... However , Sheeples, Gullibles, who cannot wait to gnaw at any bone thrown at them... Someone can raise a HUMAN being from the dead and it isn't the BIGGEST News of this century.. you want to know why?
By all means worship the Creator but do not pay any heed to these magicians and their bag of tricks.

Very nice to see this.. ATCQ are one of the top hiphop acts of the 90's.... All god vibes through and through...

Nice to see this on the music thread which has become redundant for years now... All the characters on here has moved to twitter

Only stupid people

omonnakoda:
I do not need you to have time for me .If you come to the forum to spout foolish comments then expect to be called out and shot down.

This delay is nothing to do with Nigeria particularly. What is the average time on death row in the US? So not hide under the brash ,brainless bombastic bluster to cover your ignorance
How many countries actually have a death penalty?.
Nigeria had 41 commutations of the death penalty in 2015

Go and take a breather outside bro and stop shitting on your keyboard...

omonnakoda:
Use your head . What is the average time spent on death row in other countries? Why must you always put Nigeria down.
The rational for the delay is clear the verdict could be overturned or a pardon granted. Of course one may disagree but do not slate Nigeria needlessly

'Put Nigeria down'?! Please I have no time for faux sensitive Nigerians.

The more FFK talks the more you wonder how he got his Degree and Law accreditation.... The stupidity and idiocity that comes out of him every time justifies his incarcerations.....

Why did this drag on for 20 years if he was going to be hanged anyway?! Nigerian justice

All these 'miracle' pasters in Nigeria are simply magicians with bags of tricks.... Tricks not miracles... Repeat
