"Take The Power Back: Black Artist-Owned Labels featuring Prince, James B..."


          

At the height of their careers, Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, George Clinton and Prince all formed their own imprints.

None of them are great examples of black enterprise since they were vanity labels funded and owned by the respective act's major label. Well, at least Uncle Jam, People and Paisley Park. It's not like the acts in question own the rights to the recordings released on these imprints.

fuck you.

What artist know about running a label or a studio?

Need that number cruncher on your team to make it work.

Not everybody who is good at doing something, is a businessman. Some people are just artists, doctors, lawyers, engineers, hairdressers, programmers or whatever. That doesn't mean they can run a business.

What we really need is to develop our own class of business folks.

West Indians (in the States) seem to have it. We don't have it enough overall though.
