and lmao @ anyone who believe that a label is gonna say "here's a million just for signing".

Anyone here who said that they'd sell out..do you know what "recouping" is??

You're responsible for PAYING BACK that money, they don't just give it to you. You're not Jay Z or 50ยข or any other rapper that's a proven sales machine who they're going to give you to entice you to sign on. You're nobody. More importantly, that million dollars (which they would never give you on your first, second, or even third contract) is not your money. It's a loan that you have to pay back with very very high interest. How do you think that TLC went diamond and between the 3 of them didn't have $15,000 in their pocket? by the time they were done with their contract, they were buried in debt, though they exceeded their sales numbers. And they're far form the only ones.

Not to mention that you can get signed and shelved, like MOST of the artists that get signd to a label. Do you know how many people I know that are signed to a label and their album is NEVER coming out?? And you STILL have to pay back that money that you would have already blown. You'd screw your self and not even realize it.

READ. Learn about the music industry that you want to get into so bad, because the industry preys on people that don't know the size of the corporate cock that's flying at the speed of rap right toward your anus. The label is a zero risk business, they NEVER lose. You will always pay them back, believe me.
