The Knowledge To Succeed: How To Get A Record Deal

[wdayrapco]

In the mid-90s, Tupac Shakur and I were close friends. We had an inside joke about labels and their deals that has lasted my whole career. I called it “asshole tax.” Every time a label treated me or the artist like we were stupid or they acted like asses, I taxed them $25,000 to $50,000 (for each offense). When I negotiated the Cash Money deal with Universal, within one week I doubled the advance requested from $1 million to $2 million in “asshole tax” at $50,000 an offense.

This is my own, personal, favorite quote from my book "How To Get A Record Deal."  You can read a free chapter about 360 Deals at www.TheKnowledgeToSucceed.com  (Wendy Day)

From 1996 through 2010, we offered a VERY popular FREE website called RAPCOINTELPRO.  It became outdated as the music industry changed, and it was a very costly website to maintain and keep updated...did I mention it was free?

We are replacing it with a more structured and organized site to educate artists on all aspects of the music business ESPECIALLY turning your music into money while you keep your own ownership of your artform.
