065: Kanye, Taylor Swift and Joe Budden. What Can We Learn?

Episode Summary

Recent happenings beg the question: How much should corporations control and benefit from an artist's creations?

Episode Notes

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about bad record contracts, and who exactly is responsible for them.

Kanye west tweeted out his contract in hopes to build leverage in a fight for control of his masters.

Taylor Swift launched a petition against Scooter Braun for the same reason.

And while not directly related, Joe Budden has been making a lot of noise about his contract at Spotify too.

In this episode, I speak candidly about what a recording contract means, and ask a few questions that we should have been asking all along.
