— is currently without a record label or a music publisher. Universal Music’s Def Jam Recordings and Sony Music Publishing are both out of contract with him, and many of his other business partners have broken ties in the wake of his recent behavior. On purely music-business terms, the situation is unprecedented.
Presumably, based on his recent comments about launching his own apparel lines, he will put the music out himself. But releasing music on Kanye West’s level requires major business partners — who will work with him? It is certainly possible to work within the label system on a per-release basis: Prince managed to avoid signing with a label for the last 20 years of his career — owning his masters and licensing some releases to majors, others to larger independents and others simply on the internet — although he did not carry the baggage that West does.
Some of the work is relatively automatic: Mechanical streaming royalties are collected by the non-profit Mechanical Licensing Collective, and he continues to be affiliated with performing rights organization BMI , which per its mandate cannot terminate a relationship with a songwriter.a BMI rep said: “Antisemitism, racism and hate have no place in our society, and we condemn the harmful and dangerous rhetoric from Kanye West.
Cdbaby still around? Will they let him make an account?
I say ,to you ogres ,leave the man alone
These crackers want to punish you on top of punishing you . Who the fuck gave these hiLLbiLLies that power
He’s already back
Just use YouTube Kanye - your music is great 👍
I mean Joe Rogan didn't even lose his job at Spotify or the UFC. Country star Mogan Wallen was welcomed back instantly. Roman Polanski raped children for decades and is praised in Hollywood. I could list 100's of instances.
I didn't know that could be an excuse for racism (or antisemitism, if you prefer).
He needs to commit to taking his meds first...
