[uncleruckus0]

Very informative brah! I don't know if you plan on it, but could you talk about what a Producer with no Placements should look out for when shopping Beats to Majors/Big Indies? (rip-offs, not paying, jacking your publishing, etc.)

Thanks

[darnellphillips01]

This was a really good explanation of the music publishing business. A lot of people don't really know the importance of the conversation about music publishing. I learned a lot from this vlog and it has made me access my view of the industry as well. Epik really explained music publishing for anyone to understand. I know I will be posting this on my twitter page as well.

[skillard6662]

ASCAP vs. BMI. Your opinion?

[7poetsdream]

You tell 'em , Baby! You have become so astute & wise. A true entrepreneur. These ppl are lucky there is someone here to wake them up out of their airy-fairy pinky cloud dreams. Pay attention, Everyone! This man has lived it and done his research. That's MY Baby! haha

[mydadcankillurs]

please explain ascap....

[onepastthefame]

I've listened to this a few times and I have to tell you that you have some good points. I want to share this on my blog I'm developing. It'll be here bangersbyone.blogspot.com. I really don't know if you read these comments, but I really just want to share this. It's explained very simple and I believe that this approach is effective. Just do me a favor and check out my beats and let me know what you think. Thanks for your help. Keep spreading the light.

[Shack504]

Real talk, just passed on 2 deals this year, with the Inkredibles and Eric B & Rakim. But you deff gotta be wary, being indie is very legit right now.

Yo Epik can you give advice and tips on getting placements thanks

[Lonestar0725]

Bruh this is very helpful, thank you for this.. My question for you is, what book do you recommend reading about the business?

[SenseTheKidd]

@Lonestar0725

All you need to know about the music business - Donald S Passman

this is by far the best book about the business.. everyschool and major i've ever been to or met has recommended this book.

[Lonestar0725]

@SenseTheKidd Bet that. ima pick that up.

[RichofAE]

hes true about the having a manager thats a friend, they will try to do so much that will fuck you over.

[sippysq]

[thedrumlinellc]

I never knew you had to share you percentage with The (Artist/label) I always thought the producer's whole percentage came from the artist's ultimate percentage
