For decades, record labels and the artists they represented, have developed a love/hate relationship. If the public bought records, fame followed. Fortune, however, was not guaranteed. Some of the more successful artists across music did not receive compensation to reflect their success on charts or stages.
In the most recent episode of BET Network’s Rules To This Sh!t, several industry heavyweights sit down to discuss the ins an outs of the record business. Among them, Oakland Rap pioneer Too Short, Producer LV, SRC Recordings Founder/CEO Steve Rifkind, D Dot and the late Combat Jack (aka Reggie Ossé) provide insight into petrifying loopholes that left many an artist broke and/or stuck in irreversible contracts.
