Forgot to mention that, for rap I usually go to Fort Minor.

 

Twenty One Pilots is by no means bad either.

oooh I used to really be into Twenty one pilots and Eminem, but right now I'm really kinda into hip-hop and 80s pop. I know, weird combination. I also like lo-fi and vaporwave because sometimes it can be so surreal yet chill.

Hip-Hop

I'm not really into hip hop but I like hip hop diss tracks that are lit especially the last one:

"Before the butt job you was a spongebob"

 

I don't really care who signed a 360 deal but from what I read an artist with a 360 contract makes money like someone with disability working at Goodwill.

I am into country music lately as well as Broadway though I'm still listening to them one at a time.

Im sitting down, bouncing my head and tapping my foot to Metallica - Wherever I May Roam and drinking some liquids at 3am. However I just got done watching a PBS special on Music and it was great. Like 3 or 4 one hour specials. The last episode was on Rap and sampling. Beastie Boys, Run DMC, PE, and the like. It was quite good. Songs like FIght for your right to party, and Walk this way, and Rebel without a pause.

 

One of the best bands is Volbeat, when I am cruising around the city thats what I listen to. Then when I want to get jacked up I will listen to Airbourne.

It would also help to know what you already know to make useful recommendations. I mean, I don't think recommending Queen, The Cure, or Michael Jackson would make much sense, 80s or not  

 

Echo and the Bunnymen?

Talking Heads?

Men at Work?

The Pretenders?

Marillion?

OMD?

 

And it doesn't get more 80s than Nena:

• Funky bass: checked
• Overly present keyboards: checked
• Cold war theme: checked

From what little I know about the larger music business, it depends on how you spin the 360 deal. 

If all you're going to do is make music (and you retain the rights to your name and creative work), then a 360 deal can be a good deal.

Essentially, you just have to play against the record lable's expectations. 

But generally speaking a 360 deal is a terrible idea, since concerts, merch and commercials are still the primary source of income for a lot of artists. 

 

Honestly, I don't see a lot of reason to enter into any deal with a lable. With the internet at your finger tips you can be your own producer, mixer and distributor. 

Even distributing physical media is easier than ever. 

 

The only tangible reason I can think off that could justify a lable is quality assurance, but that's only really a thing with smaller lables.

I guess the reason why some artists especially new ones that are one hit wonders sign up for a 360 deal is for marketing and promotion especially when social media is oversaturated. I guess many of them rely on "ghost writers" too.

Marketting, and they pay the costs for first round of studio recordings.

That depends a lot on the contract.

A lot of record labels don't actually pay for the studio cost anymore. They merely lend the artist the money for them to go to the studio. The price if the studio time is then deducted from the artists' cut of music sale (and merchandise and ticket sales with a 360 deal).

Studio time is also not that expensive anymore. Pretty much every kid with a laptop and $1,500 can create a fairly good studio. And studio time can usually be had for $100-$200/hour.

Of course you aren't going to get Alan Parsons levels of audio wizardry, but less has gotten into the top 10.

 

Marketing can also easily be done outside of the label circuit.

Marketing on social media can be done by everyone, and some of the most effective marketing (in my experience anyway) is personal advertisements via fliers.

I'm pretty sure this is how country music was created: 

"Hey you know how people like music?"

"Yeah"

"What if we made it not like that"
