Bun B consistently imparts his well-earned sagacity to the emerging cohorts. Presently, he extends his astuteness regarding exploitative record contracts.
In a recent interaction with IDEA GENERATION, the artist behind “Let Me See It” candidly recounted how an ill-fated agreement exacted a toll more substantial than he had envisaged.
The modus operandi of record deals, or any comparable agreements, typically conforms to this pattern, he elucidated. A voluminous contract, some 75 to 80 pages in length, is presented before you. Notice those conspicuous yellow tabs extending from its side? There are invariably three such tabs. The initial tab encompasses the requisites for videos and the like. All of those aspirations find fruition through this.”
He progressed, “Then it was like, okay, you guys want this kind of money in advance, and all that, and the checks are sitting right there. You see the check in front of you on the table, you know what I’m saying? So, you’re just trying to sign whatever they want you to sign so you can get that check. I’m literally signing my life away because I’m only looking at three pages of an 80-page contract. So there’s only three pages giving me what I want because I’m not paying attention toward endorsement.
Quite literally, I found myself inadvertently mortgaging my future as I confined my scrutiny to a mere three pages out of the exhaustive 80-page document. These were the solitary pages that seemingly catered to my desires solely because my focus was elsewhere.
