Fall Of A Music Empire With a title like, "Fall Of A Music Empire," it sounds like a made for television movie. Who saw the fall coming? For years, if an artist wanted to play on the big stage, they had to sign on the dotted line. If you look at the history of everyone from Louis Armstrong to Kayne West, they all had bad deals. That's a standard practice. Are some reasons justified? Of course they are, and that's where the biggest argument comes from. Before we get into that, let's think about the situation of New York City (R.I.P. to their music scene). That's a whole other story, be we will revisit it very soon. The whole point with New York is in how their established acts in Hip Hop are scanning around 50 thousand records sold. And I'd really look at pre-orders and returns and those numbers might be even lower.
