Prince even changed his name to a symbol to take back his ownership.” “And, everyone is just paying attention now because ‘Kanye said it.’ He’s getting all the credit when people like Prince and Michael Jackson were screaming how companies were taking advantage of artists. “I’m glad Kanye is using his voice on his platform to bring attention to this, but he is not the first one to say it,” T. Successful artists are expected to make enough for services like Spotify to profit, but even when they make more profit than expected, they do not get to share in the spoils. Tied into this argument was the rant on Twitter by Kanye West about masters and contracts, saying that corporations should be exposed for their predatory tactics, especially against minority artists.

“Spotify enriched themselves by not paying their creators,” T. This is proven by Budden, over the two years, remaining the lowest-paid on Spotify, despite the massive audience he brought to the table. “The Hip Hop style, culture and fashion are sought, and our creators are not getting the credit or compensation they deserve.” “We are in a situation where black creativity is a commodity,” T. Instead, Spotify used his success to purchase other content, not recognizing the value he gave the platform to be successful in his market.īudden also said he thinks black creators are not getting their due, while white creators have become more lucrative in an area he pioneered for others to have success. Budden said he brought many new people to the platform, but his audience and the unique product did not get the return for his time and effort. His argument is that the people profiting from content like his, specifically when it comes to black artists and creators, are not the ones creating the value. Budden says he brought a massive audience to Spotify, beating their metrics by more than 900 percent, and he didn’t realize at the time he was joining a game without knowing how it was going to be played. Spotify, when it agreed to the deal with Budden, was nowhere close to being a leader in podcasts, and Budden put in the work to bring a new audience to the streaming service.

Jay this week, largely based on the Joe Budden Podcast’s relationship with Spotify and a Twitter rant by Kanye West about content ownership. Joe Budden is yet to respond to Jones's rant, though it seems that saving his breath is preferable to debating with this brick wall of a human.A philosophical argument hit WordPlay T. Hell, he was already banned from a handful of platforms like YouTube and FaceBook over three years ago. Twitter's disdain for the beyond-conservative talk-show host has been apparent for years now, and every time a new spat like this pops up, the app's majority is more than happy to hypothetically spit on whatever he has to say.

In response to the very strange collection of people involved, Twitter reacted as they usually do in situations like these: sharing their distaste for Alex Jones.
