Meek Mill and Summer Walker have horrible contracts - here's why
from The Dr Boyce Breakdown · host Dr Boyce Watkins
Summer Walker and Meek Mill appear to have horrible contracts - what happened? Today on The Black Financial Channel, I am going to speak about the horrific contracts of superstars Summer Walker and Meek Mill. I read a long Rolling Stone article about the contracts and find it quite interesting that across generations, black artists have run into the same problems. As a person who has taught finance for a very long time, I find it odd that this narrative keeps coming up, especially when there are artists like @dee1music who actually LEFT their record labels to become economically prosperous in an independent way. We won't just talk about the poor economic terms of the contracts, we will also discuss varioius aspects of economic theory, just as ex-post vs ex-ante analysis and what this means in the world of music, contracts and negotiation.
