Artists opinions on the 360° deal

‘Two days after Prince announced that he would release his new album HitNRun exclusively to Tidal, the singer revealed the reason he is sidestepping a record label and offering the LP directly through Jay Z’s streaming service. “Record contracts are just like — I’m gonna say the word – slavery,” Prince said. “I would tell any young artist… don’t sign.” 

“On the other hand you want that because if I'm an artist on Def Jam, and my album didn't sell that well, back in the day a label was so quick to shelf you. But now if he had a 360 deal, the label will say, Aight let's at least throw him on tour, let's at least make money off them like that. And now you're eating and the labels eating. And everyone's happy.” 

‘During his tweet spree, Kanye referred to the music industry as a "modern day slave ship" and said that he refused to watch his "people be enslaved." And while his slavery comparison might seem characteristically sensational, he's definitely not the first person to call out the industry's exploitation of Black artists, nor use the analogy of slavery in this context.’
