Dear Major Labels: You're F*cked

http://current.com/items/91381785_dear-maj...

The mass-produced, cookie cutter, bullsh!t "music" that major labels spoonfeed the masses sucks, and so do their new media business practices. Now that these two factors have lined up, it's only a matter of time before the majors go the way of the dinosaur and Chrysler. This makes me very happy. Come, share my joy.

Pretty badass and I respect that they produced, shot, and edited it all themselves. That's how you do it now.

This video is very informative and direct, my name is Michael Bell CEO of Indie Label, Bell Time Records and you are right, my friend Dan and I taped my rnb artist Tamalaneh and we embedded her music video on you tube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgFvmmZ4pRg but even further we embedded it on Current Music and we aint doing too bad! So if you take the advice on this video you will get noticed at least and who knows how far you will go on a low budget, with sites like You Tube and Current Music, and rnb websites you will get your music heard and seen. Right now we are being reviewed and voted on to get airplay time so embedded is the way too go!!! Come and check it out, and while there please vote and review my music thanx, yes that was promo right now!! LOL

We make music videos inside a Brooklyn dollar van (share taxi) with real passengers. All of our artists are DIY and original. This is what real hip hop looks like and you can not find it on BET/MTV/Corporate Radio but find it on Youtube!

Chrysler isn't dead. Other than that, I agree with you.
