Is it lame of me to actually want to take the label's side in this? And I say this as a DG fan (albeit one who liked Money Store better)
― Raymond Cummings, Friday, 2 November 2012 00:15 (eleven years ago) link
you wish they'd honoured their contract to preserve harmony w/ the label & wait til next year to release?
― ogmor, Friday, 2 November 2012 00:24 (eleven years ago) link
if it's been 5 years since your last album and the label wants to push the new one back, it makes sense to get frustrated and think about leaking it. if it's been 5 months it's just kind of an empty gesture of rebellion.

"how is that 'wtf epic' at all"
This is at signing them in the first place. Obviously Death Grips doesn't really care about being on Epic.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
And I'm not sure why Epic should care about them giving away their music for free either frankly.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 02:55 (eleven years ago) link
yeah signing them in the first place is the only move on the label's part i don't get. everything else is pretty standard.
― some dude, Friday, 2 November 2012 02:59 (eleven years ago) link
although majors release lots of niche stuff these days and they seemed to have realistic commercial expectations for them

― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:06 (eleven years ago) link
Not really. Unless you think that unleashing it on the web has somehow devalued their next Epic album.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:10 (eleven years ago) link
You don't see how a label that stands to make money (okay, probably not a lot, but still) by selling your album might be torqued off that you gave it away for free?
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:11 (eleven years ago) link
jon did you miss the bit where the label wasn't interested in releasing it for another year? Considering they've recorded three albums in the last twelve months, I suspect they'd be able to deliver another one by that point.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:16 (eleven years ago) link
They would still be releasing it though. I mean, its not hard to figure out how labels work.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:16 (eleven years ago) link
but by then everyone would be sick of death grips because they had released a bunch of similar-sounding music in a short timespan

you say "unless you think" like this would be a really weird position to take
― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 November 2012 03:19 (eleven years ago) link
If I'm Epic I'm more pissed that they cancelled their tour which would be in theory promoting the album Epic actually released than that they released another record on the interwebs.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:19 (eleven years ago) link
xp yeah I think it's a pretty weird position to take on a band that you signed on the basis of a free mixtape frankly.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:20 (eleven years ago) link
"but by then everyone would be sick of death grips because they had released a bunch of similar-sounding music in a short timespan"
That would probably be a good time to drop then, right?
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:21 (eleven years ago) link
Drop them, ahem.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
But, uh, tons of bands get signed on the basis of free demos. I'm not sure what your point is? They gave away music that Epic was supposed to be making money off of. I'm not trying to play captain save-a-major here, but it's not hard to understand why they're pissed off about it.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 2 November 2012 03:24 (eleven years ago) link
so basically you're confused by the fact that the label would want to throw its full marketing power behind each release, which it basically can't do if the releases are too close together. so then epic is stuck in this position of being like "no, ignore these free releases and pay attention to these official releases" which is absurd. you can't flood the market with a bunch of music and ask people to pay for half of it but not the other half.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 November 2012 03:24 (eleven years ago) link
lots of major label rap artists release mixtapes on the black market, sometimes even without the label's knowledge or explicit permission. but this was never called a mixtape, it was always called an album and was the album they'd promised to the label right up until they put it online. i mean it's a semantic thing but most legal issues are.
