In the midst of news that Universal will be buying EMI for a little over £1.2 Billion, Professor Green is letting the consumer know that some folks in the music business aren’t even doing their jobs to be able to worry about keeping theirs:
Why would your own record label hinder you? Answers on a postcard.
I just can’t help but question why some people have jobs. All I do is work, so I get extremely pissed off when people don’t do theirs.
Dignified silence is pointless. A rushed second single, the Remedy video a month late and now similar problems with the Avalon video unfold.
I don’t understand what part of having a cool job means everything is perfect… I’m trying to make sure I keep my job is all.
How would you feel if a company taking 25% of your earnings weren’t doing their jobs properly? Would you pay someone not doing their job?
Here’s the real, if you’re ready.
“A live gig = 10% to agent, costs and expenses, 20% management commission then 25% to a label who hardly even come to gigs let alone help.
That’s the industry, which actually didn’t seem that bad when just getting simple things done wasn’t a blood from a stone scenario.
If everyone at EMI is quaking in their shoes about their jobs because of the Universal situ, why not do your jobs properly? Simple solution?
A lot of artists feel the same but we all just bend over… F**k that.
You can’t chat to me about work, I used to pay my band with money I made from club PA’s because I wanted to put on a proper show.
Just to reiterate something for the stupid, my problem isn’t that they take that money, it’s that there are people not working for it.â€
It is a liberty but piracy forever changed the industry so it’s adapting… We need labels, labels need artists. We all need to do our JOBS
There are a lot of people who are amazing at their jobs @ EMI and even more frustrating is the s**t they have to endure for having an artists best interests at heart.â€
