The document discusses the state of hip-hop music in Africa. It notes that in 1996, sales figures for Wu-Tang Clan's album in Africa were only 73 units, showing a lack of music infrastructure. However, hip-hop has grown significantly in popularity in Africa since then, blending with local sounds and addressing social issues. The biggest hip-hop artists now come from countries like Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and East Africa. Challenges remain in properly marketing and selling African music due to a lack of funding and industry structures.
Music can promote cultural identities and bring people together through shared values. However, the music industry also promotes conflict as producers prioritize profit over artistry. Additionally, many popular songs contain references to drugs, alcohol, violence and the objectification of women that may negatively influence youth. Studies show rap music in particular emphasizes masculinity through references to criminal behavior and the subordination of women. Meanwhile, music also has benefits like allowing self-expression and acting as a therapeutic outlet for many.
Hip hop originated in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York among African American and Latino communities. It is characterized by four main elements - rapping, DJing, breaking, and graffiti. Hip hop music emerged from DJs creating rhythmic beats by looping records on turntables. This was accompanied by rapping, beatboxing, and new styles of dancing. Hip hop has now spread globally and includes elements of storytelling, rhyme, and an instrumental "beat." While initially part of Black and Hispanic culture, hip hop music is now popular worldwide across various demographics.
Major record label vs Independent record label09foxemm
Columbia Records is a major record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment that represents many top artists across multiple genres. It has a large roster of over 85 artists and earns revenue from album and song sales as well as merchandise. In contrast, Sub Pop is an independent label founded in 1988 that launched the careers of grunge bands like Nirvana and helped define the Seattle music scene in the 1990s. As an independent label, Sub Pop relies more on word-of-mouth and social media to promote its artists due to a smaller budget, while major labels like Columbia can spend heavily on music videos, advertising, and promotion.
1. The document discusses the business of hip hop and rap music, including its origins in inner cities and as a way for black communities to pursue the American Dream despite facing economic and cultural marginalization.
2. It describes how major record labels initially kept rap music separate but eventually began acquiring independent rap labels in order to benefit from their cultural understanding and street credibility.
3. The document analyzes how the rap industry uses both grassroots promotion techniques and corporate strategies to produce an image of rap music as authentic while also managing it as a commercial business.
The document provides research on potential sponsors for an art festival in Oakland, California.

This document provides an overview of independent music and the band Hanson. It discusses how the music industry has changed with the digital revolution and file sharing, allowing independent artists more freedom. It defines characteristics of independent musicians, including intrinsic artistic motivation, building networks of support, and taking on business roles themselves. Hanson is used as a case study of a successful independent band, forming their own label called 3 Car Garage. The document outlines considerations and strategies independent artists can use for areas like sales/financing, promotion, touring, licensing, and online platforms to thrive without a major label.
The target audience for Linkin Park is primarily males aged 18-34 from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. While most of their fans are male, Linkin Park has a larger than typical female fanbase and unusually large Hispanic and Asian audiences as well. Their music appeals most to "Strugglers" and "Reformers" in terms of psychographics - those who feel alienated and value freedom and anti-materialism. To attract this audience in a music video, the video would use quick camera shots and fast-paced editing to match the energy of rock music, and feature shots of the band performing along with framing the lead singer prominently on stage in a scruffy look to fit the rebellious rock
The article discusses how the music industry is struggling due to declining music sales as people are buying and paying less for recorded music. It provides several examples:
1) Radiohead released their album "In Rainbows" allowing fans to pay whatever they wanted, including only 1p, showing that recorded music has become more of a promotional tool.
2) Several other bands are giving their music away for free to promote concert ticket and merchandise sales, which are now more profitable.
3) Album and music sales have sharply declined worldwide while concert ticket prices have soared, showing live performances now generate more revenue.
4) Record labels are making much less money per album as margins have shrunk,
The music industry in Britain has seen significant changes over the past two decades. Recording artists now rely primarily on live performances and merchandise for income rather than recorded music sales. Record companies have introduced "360 deals" where they take a percentage of artists' revenues from all sources in order to benefit from their entire income stream. While digital singles sales are rising, digital and physical album sales continue to decline in the UK due to high levels of illegal downloading. More than three-quarters of downloaded music in Britain is obtained illegally, costing the music industry over £1 billion since 2007.
The document discusses the relationship between artists, audiences, and the music industry. It argues that the major record labels that dominate the industry prioritize profit over creativity or artistic development. However, the industry is changing as artists and consumers gain more power through new technologies and platforms. Independent labels are growing as artists seek more control, and consumers can now access a wider variety of music directly from artists. While major labels played a role in popularizing some influential artists, the future of the industry involves a shift away from their dominance to a more decentralized, niche-focused model that better serves the interests of musicians and audiences.
A2 Media Music Industry & Digital Technologyiangbland
The document discusses how three musical artists - Arctic Monkeys, Beyoncé, and Lana Del Rey - have utilized digital technology. It explains that Arctic Monkeys gained early success through the social media site Myspace, while Beyoncé leverages YouTube, Instagram, and Tumblr to market herself and foster connections with fans. Lana Del Rey was discovered through blogs and understands how to create content that appeals to online audiences. All three artists stream music online and deploy surprise digital releases and social media campaigns to promote their work in the new music industry landscape.
This document provides research on target audiences for different music genres including drum and bass, pop, and high contrast/London grammar artists.
It summarizes the demographics of drum and bass listeners as predominantly male aged 13-21 from lower socioeconomic classes. Pop music audiences are described as mostly female aged 0-21 from higher classes. Psychographic profiles indicate drum and bass listeners are more likely to be "explorers" or "strugglers".
A survey of drum and bass listeners found alternative, dance, R&B and dubstep were other popular genres. This suggests focusing on music videos from these genres to understand what target audience enjoys.
This document discusses the marketing strategies of YG Entertainment (YGE), a major South Korean entertainment company known for launching the careers of popular K-pop groups like Big Bang and Psy. It summarizes how YGE focuses on developing talented trainees into skilled musicians, builds strong brand value for its artists, partners with global companies for international expansion, and activates social media marketing to interact directly with fans. Overall, the document analyzes YGE's approach as setting the standard for the next "Jobs and Apple" of the entertainment industry.
Here are some recommendations for gathering market research to address the Sudkurier management team's questions:
1. Conduct a media usage survey of Sudkurier readers and non-readers to understand which other newspapers, magazines, radio stations, websites etc. they consume on a regular basis. This will identify the Sudkurier's main competitors.
2. Design and distribute a reader survey to collect demographic data on readers and understand which sections they find most/least interesting. Include questions about time spent reading different sections. Consider focus groups to get qualitative feedback.
3. Pilot test updated layout designs with readers and get feedback via surveys or focus groups. Assess comprehension, appeal and usability of different designs.
The document discusses how the music industry has changed in recent decades due to digitalization and the rise of downloading/file sharing. It notes that major labels have struggled to adapt while independent labels have seen opportunities. Live music remains important for promotion and revenue. Digital sales now account for 29% of industry revenue, with streaming and downloads replacing physical formats. Issues around piracy and its impact on sales continue to challenge the industry's business model. The future will rely on new approaches and artists having more control over their careers.
This document discusses the claim that hip hop promotes violence. It argues that this claim is based on prejudices against black minorities, as hip hop actually spreads awareness of important social issues like racism and abuse. The document provides examples showing that hip hop lyrics often reflect the real struggles and experiences of artists growing up in violent environments. Furthermore, hip hop has therapeutic benefits and can help people cope with mental illness. While some genres may contain similar levels of violent lyrics, hip hop is disproportionately judged negatively due to stereotypes.
This document provides a target audience profile for a funk music video. The target audience is 16-35 year olds, mainly male, in the United States and other English-speaking countries. This audience enjoys socializing, fitness, music, and dining out. They have disposable income and are emerging in their careers or education. This demographic falls in the working class categories. The target psychographic groups are explorers seeking discovery and aspirers focused on appearance and status. This audience prefers popular music genres and consuming media like Spotify, YouTube, and socializing online.
Drum and bass (DnB) album covers typically feature large speakers, bright colors, and chaotic lines and waves to visually represent the music's fast-changing nature. Common codes seen on DnB album covers include sharp edges, signifying quick tempo, and labels like UKF that are known for DnB and dubstep. While there are some magazines focused on DnB, it remains a niche genre due to its intense sound and appeal mainly to younger males interested in non-chart music. Pioneering artists from the late 80s and 90s like Andy C and Goldie still influence the genre today.
Rome Love is releasing her remix of the single "Red Rose" to kick off the new year.

This document provides background information on Octone Records LLC, an independent record label co-founded by Howie Lipson and James Diener. It summarizes Octone's strategic approach of signing and developing artists with mainstream commercial potential before partnering with a major label to further promote successful acts. It details Octone's unique partnership structure with J Records, a division of BMG, which allowed Octone to maintain partial ownership of artists it developed and transitioned to the joint venture. The partnership was designed to give Octone ongoing involvement in artist careers and avoid being acquired by the major label if successful.
Sony BMG owns many music distribution companies, so all music sales revenue goes directly back to Sony. Digital music sales have greatly increased the music industry's income since 2004. However, illegal music downloading has led to a large decrease in music sales from 2007-2009. Kate Nash advocates for musicians' ownership rights and fair compensation from digital distributors like Google that profit from their music.
The document provides a detailed profile of the target audience for a new pop music video and ancillary products. A questionnaire found the primary audience to be females aged 16-24 who are likely current students. This audience falls into the mainstream or aspirant tribes, with a focus on the mainstream "townies" sub-tribe. The products aim to appeal to this audience's interests in social media, fashion, TV shows, and other pop artists.

Gangsta rap pioneer Dr. Dre was born in 1965 in Compton, California and grew up mostly with his mother after his parents split up. He showed musical talent from a young age and got a music mixer for Christmas in 1984, soon turning his home into a studio. He joined the rap group World Class Wreckin' Cru and helped pioneer the gangsta rap genre with his album The Chronic in 1992. Today he is known as a king of hip hop who gives back through philanthropic efforts and shares his wisdom and experience with younger generations.

Hip Hop Culture on Good Influence
Hip hop refers to rap music, a genre of popular music developed by Latin and
Afro-Americans in the United States in the 1970s. It was that time in the history of the USA
when block parties were getting popular because rap music was promoting the cultural
movement in the most influential art form. While many people have a stereotype of hip-hop
culture, they think that hip-hop culture symbolizes dark and negative elements, such as drugs,
gangs, and murder, but in fact, hip-hop is a culture with a lot of positive value and influence.
Many raps convey a positive influence, such as Drake's God's plan. Some rapper songs are also
persuading people to stay away from violence, receive school education, help others, take care of
their families and change their destiny. And hip-hop artists are a way for many underrepresented
groups to speak out. They use hip-hop music to express their social and political issues and
attitudes. And hip-hop culture brings people together in different ways.
In the context of the origin of hip hop culture, it has been observed that cultural aspects
such as break dancing and graffiti were known to be the first aspects that caught the greater
public attention. A teenage Greek American, in 1972, started a graffiti movement by signing his
name and address on the walls of the subway system throughout New York City. The same

sparked many actions, till 1975, that rendered the names of individuals by spraying colors and
paintings on the wall, which ultimately led to influential art dealers all across Europe, the US,
and Japan to display graffiti in art galleries. Meanwhile, turntable manipulation techniques were
being developed by deejays by playing short drum brakes, which created a rhythmic effect
known as scratching. In the US, rap first came as a prominent genre of music on the national
level by the release of the song "Rappers Delight'" by Sugarhill Gang in 1979. In the context of
the timeline of the hip-hop culture, the most notable event that led to the initiation of this
movement in the incident of Kool Herc holding his hip-hop parties in 1973. In 1979, the first
recorded rap song was released, followed by Curtis Blows single "The Breaks" massive sales in
1980. The last "old school" hip hop party was held by Kool Herc in 1984, and 'The Show" was
created by Doue E. Fresh in 1985. Later in 1986, Run DMC remixes like "Walk This Way" led
to the opening of hip hop to new audiences, and gangster rap was also formed at the same time.
Furthermore, in 1992, "The Chronic" was written by Dr Dre that launched him and labeled him
as a hip-hop icon in the world of rap music. Besides, the contemporary age of hip-hop culture
has begun in the 2000s. According to Complex, 2021, Kanye West is one of the successful

Hip hop music was originally played by live bands. However, producers like Marly Marl felt bands did not accurately capture the sound of hip hop that was popular in places like Harlem and the Bronx. That sound involved scratching, echoes, beatboxing, and breakbeats - elements that were difficult for live bands to recreate. This disconnect between the studio recordings and live hip hop events influenced producers to start using drum machines and samplers rather than bands.
The document provides an overview comparing the Harlem Renaissance and hip hop movements. Both emerged from black cultural expression and brought about greater understanding of black experiences among white audiences. Key elements discussed include:
- Both involved cross-racial cultural influences through art forms like jazz, poetry, and hip hop.
- Rent parties played an important social and economic role during the Harlem Renaissance, bringing communities together through jazz music.
- The Harlem Renaissance lasted around 15 years until declining with the Great Depression, while hip hop built upon influences from bebop and artists like Quincy Jones.
The document discusses diversity and representation in the music industry. It notes that the Billboard Top 100 in 2015 only included black, white or mixed artists. Representation is important for young people to see others like them succeed. While access to platforms like SoundCloud has increased opportunities for diverse artists, the mainstream industry still lacks diversity and does not practice multiculturalism. Independent artists are seeing more success and control over their careers. The industry should provide more opportunities for other ethnicities beyond trends and invest more in promoting diverse artists.

Defining Hip Hop
From society’s periphery, a generation created a cultural medium,
hip hop
, that served as both an expression of and an alternative to urban woes plaguing their lives, namely underemployment, poverty, and racial discrimination. Rap music and the associated fashion, language, and dance styles became hip hop’s modes of expression. For many African American youth, hip hop has been a part of their cultural identity since the 1970s (Rose 1994; George 1998). Today, hip hop’s influence on popular culture is undeniable. From its inception three decades ago, hip hop has grown from an urban, predominantly black and Latino youth culture into an international youth phenomenon transcending racial and ethnic lines.
The term hip hop describes urban youth culture in America (Smitherman 1997). Hazzard-Donald (1996) defines hip hop as an expressive cultural genre originating among marginalized African American youth. Forms of hip hop expression include rapping and rap music, graffiti writing, dance styles (originating with break-dancing), specific attire, and a specialized language and vocabulary. According to Smitherman, hip hop grew out of African oral tradition and other forms of black culture, as well as a long history of interaction between black and Latino urban culture, originating in the Bronx, New York (Guevara 1996). George (1998) offers this succinct description:
At its most elemental level hip hop is a product of post-civil rights era America, a set of cultural forms originally nurtured by African American, Caribbean-American, and Latin American youth in and around New York in the ’70s. Its most popular vehicle of expression has been music, though dance, painting, fashion, video, crime, and commerce are also its playing fields (viii).
Hip hop culture transcends the commercialized product sold to mainstream America through commercials and music videos. It is more than the music, fashion, and style that is now so popular among youth everywhere. Although these are its modes of expression, hip hop as a culture is rooted in the day-to-day experiences of millions of inner city teens. As Spiegler (1996) describes it, hip hop is based on real life experiences, giving it more permanence than earlier teen trends.
In the beginning, the expression of hip hop culture known as rap was the voice of the urban youth underclass. According to Smitherman, rap music was a response to conditions of poverty, joblessness, and disempowerment, which still deeply affect the lives of the majority of African American urban youth today. Not only was rap music a black expressive cultural phenomenon, it was also a discourse of resistanc.
2. Introduction to Hip Hop 101
• Hip hop is generally defined as the
culture, styles and discourses, while rap
refers to the music, considered to be one
of the four pillars of hip hop culture:
break dancing, Djing, Mcing(rap), and
graffiti.
RESISTENCIA: HIP HOP IN COLOMBIA
Resistencia offers a rare look at the Hip Hop street
Subculture in civil war-torn Colombia, while at the same
time exploring how traditional Latino music is being infiltrated
by rap. http://www.hiphopfilmfestival.com/film_resistencia.php
"Whoever likes my stuff, likes my stuff. But just know Slim Shady is hip-hop. I grew up
on hip-hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the
culture...that's me." - On the hip-hop culture -Eminem
3. Where it originated
Krs quote; And a lot of people caught offense to that: "What do you mean you are Hip-
Hop?" Obviously, that was not my point of view - that I alone, am Hip-Hop and no
one isn't. The point was that I declared that I am not just doing this art-form,
representing Hip-Hop like it's over there somewhere - distant from myself, I Am Hip-
Hop. Hip-Hop is my being! Hip-Hop doesn't happen until I do it. And that goes for
others. ---KRS1 Word Perfect Inner-view www.rapnewsdirect.com
• From a cultural and musical practice among
African American and Hispanic youth in the
Bronx, hip-hop has become a global signifying
practice providing new parameters of meaning to
locally and/or nationally diverse social groups.

4. How hip hop Assimilated into Columbia
• This is the initial emergence of hip hop into Columbia often had less to do
with the development of global communication systems and the marketing
and exportation of U.S. pop culture, and more to do with a combination of
unique processes of migration flows and direct cultural contact.
• The nature of hip hop in Columbia dramatically changed in the 1990’s when
the Us entertainment industry began to intensify the global promotion and
exportation of U.S. hip hop and rap through music markets, radio, television
and cinema, largely aided by the advancements and growth of mass
communication systems. Nowadays, for example, most CDs are not
imported, but instead mass-produced in Columbia by outsourced distribution
companies. This explains why the influx of Us rap has been frequently
played on Colombian radio stations and widely sold in stores.
• …..,The majors have consolidated their control of music industry not only
through “vertical” (aiming to connect companies further up and down the
production –consumption chain),” but also through ““horizontal’ (aiming
synergy related entertainment industries) mergers and acquisitions
strategies.

5. Negative contrast
• Hip hop to me there is a few drawbacks in Colombia, there is a new form of
mass industrialism which is similar to pandering. The spin-off of
consumerism is that it divides and splits the communities. The adjective
that describes the new form of mass industrialism is the catalyst
“production”. In this example the facts the hold authenticity and discourse is
production; 1. no major label local or international has signed any artist
since this article has been published. 2. The labels want the artist to sellout
meaning going mainstream. 3. the way money is made to make a cd to get
produced.
• Here in the Us today, you have to go under ground and a lot of the money
the made to produce project comes from illegal money. As in Colombia, here
in the Us there is not a lot of resources where you can go to get promoted if
you do not have it. But here in the US, there are a lot of indie labels, and/or
independent labels that the majors label either give a distribution deal to or
buy out because there ear is closer to the lower socio economic level. Today
in the US, it is hard to send your demo or package to a label they do not
want to be solicited by mail it is all by word of mouth or how wired you are,
example Jay-z will not work with any promoter only ones in the cities he has
been in and have give him a crowd. He charges a 100,000 for a show. If you
cannot bring those numbers (crowd), you are a spectator. Get out the game.
6. Also
The reason it divides the class, lets look at the Us first, here in the states we
have different generas of music that is socially acceptable because you
have anglo america that likes Jay-z pop style such as h to the izzo, you
have something to dance to it does not come across to political unless you
are Kanye West or Tupac for instance. When it sends a message that shows
the truth of the US than it causes controversy, the labels know that, because
bad press is like the law, it can make a project and give it life or not. It can
goes as far the Supreme court to fight; Bill of Rights Amendment I,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The example of discourse that hip hop can bring is look at the this situation; In
that case, Pennsylvania native Tucker, who died last year, claimed that Tupac's lyrics on
the track "How Do U Want It," from 1996's All Eyez On Me album, had caused her "great
humiliation, mental pain, and suffering." The lyrics in question included the line: "DeLores
Tucker, you's a motherf****r/Instead of trying to help a n***a, you destroy a brother."

8. Where does the line Draw?
• Where does the line draw? This comes from earlier when I spoke of division
does it mean that all people have to come from severe living conditions in
order to be authentic and for all of us to have a reason to listen to it.
Because we relate it to a human condition, instead of the music and lyrics
having a solid message instead of a formulaic fantasy that gives off the
thought you will be rich and make it out of your condition. That is a lie, to
me everyone has a rule to play in this world. As, John a Millis says, a that
some people are made to be poor and be pluralistic, as are some to be rich
and wealthy. But what if hip hop is the poor people’s movement. They
change because this is the only way they can make a change in there
current conditions and they are looking for a platform to express there
selves. As here in America we have are own sell outs as in Columbia, then
we may not because if you want to feed your family in these pluralistic
societies will make changes no matter the cost it cause on the family or if
that man was about marry if money is 20 miles out they will drive to go make
it. This is what mass industrialism has made underdeveloped countries turn
into by definition.
9. The Positive comparison
• The Columbian identity also celebrates the positive side of hip hop to
express the reality of those knowing the true conditions of true conditions of
true people, but expressing the positive that comes from rising above it.
You can still have a message to your music, but make the music appeal to the
people. By putting your own spin on your music by incorporating your own
identity and culture. As in Columbia a Group called Choc Quib Town strays
too from the established norms with regards to musical style, sound and
melody, a and then gains recognition for their musical experimentation with
autochthonous sounds from their own traditions and culture( which
incidentally is exactly what has led to their growing appeal beyond hip hop
community)
10. Final thoughts
• I could talk on and on about hip hop because it was I grew up on, I live it, breathe, drank it, go to
clubs to hear it, in my car, or where ever. It has given a lot of us voices to be able to speak to the
masses. As in the case of Columbia and here in the United States there is authentic issues and
discourses amongst classes in similar ways and not so similar. Why? because we here in the United
States have resources and options and can go and work with other artist abroad and incorporate
different styles. Still not be considered a crossover, but that answer is the candy coated version of a
response. From the streets, when your music is not underground, with a hot Dj or on a mix cd. You
may have radio, but street respect from working with Dj clue or Mic Boogie or ect,,,. You are nothing,
but a crossover artist with what we call crossover that is not authentic to be a record labels excuse
me “Bitch”. The discourses comes with what the labels deem to be radio ready/ friendly that is if they
edit your music or soften you lyrics. You know you have made it mainstream and the radio puts you
into format urban radio that reaches demographics of 16 to 25 the highest purchasing (consumer)
power in the United States. On the other hand, in Columbia you have no labels only certain
organizations helping these artist, as well as them working odd jobs to be able to make a cd to sell
the masses, they also are torn between whether they want to be mainstream or whether like Choc
Quib Town who has added there identity and culture to there music and lyrics. This is in the eyes of
there culture is a sellout because it does hold true to the worst human condition in there society. The
discourse is the division of the mass industrialism production. It has given a false dream that you
can reach the status of mainstream United States if you sell your soul, at the sometime you have to
feed your family may be you could do reguton such as Daddy Yankee, and have fame and fortune. Is
worth it for sake of argument is good for them to stay unnoticed by staying true there identity and
culture or is better to sell out. I pose this question this is industrialism and the effects of
consumerism all the problems that arise from what these underdeveloped countries introduce to there
culture, and the drawbacks that follow is like a bomb it drops and after the dust subsides they are like
ants out of control. No one gives guidelines or rules, it just go for yours. So here is my questions is it
working or is worth it? Is there is a cost? What follows is what Ludacris describes to get your own
label, and the (discourses)problems of being in the industry.
11. Tell like it is by Ludacris
• Ludacris Tell It Like It Is Lyrics
• [Verse 1]
Things ain't always what they seem or cracked up to be
Like all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry
Talkin' bout what they got, and they ain't got a damn thang
How you own three cars, but you don't own ya own name?
Get ya business right boys, the first class is in session
Get a entertainment lawyer in the music profession
Start up ya own company, trademark the name
That's gon' run ya bout a grand so start savin' ya change
Open a bank account quick, and then follow these steps
Sign yourself to yourself and start signin' ya own checks
Hit the booth and start recording at the speed of need
Whatever gets ya juices flowin' could be speed or weed
Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and plastered
Sell it to ya whole hood out the trunk, ya bastard!
Show all the non-believers what you destined to be
And in just a couple years you could be rich like me
[Hook]
But I can't hold my tongue
I'ma tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun
I'ma tell it like it is
Give it to ya straight, no chase
I'ma tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo face
And I'ma tell it like it is
I can't hold my tongue
I'ma tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun
I'ma tell it like it is
Give it to ya straight, no chase
I'ma tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo face
And I'ma tell it like it is
12. Tell like it is by Ludacris
• [Verse 2]
See, mostly all your favorite artists got some serious problems
The money could be the problem, but money can't solve 'em
Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy
Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy
I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame
And that type of shit alone will drive a nigga insane
Not to mention all the vultures, the scandelous promoters
Crabs will try to sue ya, magazines will misquote ya
Most of these label-heads, they don't care nothin' about ya
If you stop sellin' records, they'll act like they don't know ya
It's hard mixin' business with pleasure, so don't play
Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day
Rappers ain't above the law, but our life is so fast
That we got a Special Task Force of police on our ass
All that, and this is really just the start of it
[Tell It Like It Is lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Hip Hop, you really wanna be a part of it?
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
What's worse than havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it
What's worse than havin' some money is grabbin' and abusin' it
We never took no money from Chingy, thought I was cool wit him
I wish his ass well, but I don't want nothin' to do with him!
Some don't own they publishin', me I never fool wit 'em
I'm down for my artists, try my best to stay true to 'em
'Cause outside my label competition is irrelevant
Unless I'm still in competition with my president
And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova
''Cause the industry's shady, it needs to be taken over'
But the first rule to accumalation of wealth
Is Don't trust nobody but ya God damned self!
[Hook]
