MC Eiht and Vlad discussed the challenging dynamics of the music industry, with an emphasis on the significant risks and often low success rates involved in launching new artists. Vlad highlighted that record labels typically face a 90% failure rate with new artists, relying on rare hits to recoup investment losses. He illustrated how even artists who succeed, like Megan Thee Stallion, may feel under-compensated, resembling a flawed lottery system.
Amid the gritty realities of the music business, MC Eiht reflected on his experiences, noting the financial pitfalls and exploitative nature of record deals that can leave successful artists feeling shortchanged, while failed projects rarely see artists returning funds. The discussion ties back to Dr. Dre's comments labeling Eminem as the best rapper ever, surpassing notable figures like Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Cube. Dr. Dre's endorsement underscores Eminem's exceptional breakout success in an industry fraught with financial and personal hardships, amplifying the rare yet impactful triumphs within an often unforgiving business.
