Nah son... All this means is the correction of the industry. They can pool around their blockbusters and still bank. The fat is trimmed though.

You figure back in the days a label could have a group like No doubt as a tent pole while BEP was still tryna figure it out. Even though BEP hadn't figured it out they were still given nice as hell advances. Still treated like major label artists. Because the label could afford the fluff.

Now a days you get Katy Perry. Budget is still big, opportunities are still big. Then you have let's say a colin monroe. While they are both on the same label who knows if Colin's budget is even open.

It was like that previous post about that producer airing MMG out on twitter. The idea that Meek Mill a successful upstart not being able to get his budget open because he can't make a hit is a very legitimate rumor. The label would much rather you spend you bread "figuring it out" then come to them with the hit.

so basically... the Button doesn't get pushed until you are much more of a "sure thing" or have a proven track record.
