Phillip Scott reports on Prince calling out the predatory behavior of music execs not wanting artists to be free from them.
Black America is America! Without us there will be no America.
It would be América just without other races. America would look like the UK if there’s no black folks or native Americans.
@@icecreambeats101There will be no America without Black Americans.
America would be boring as hell.
100. And this country would have no damn style either.
Black 🖤 people are the original people of the earth 🌍
Black Americans set the standard and everyone else copies.
🗣️ FACTS FACTS FACTSSSSS
I remember Rod Steward said the more black he sounded the more records he sold. Elvis said something similar.
@@OllieMissouri-is6ei Elvis was a trip,I can see 👀 how he was trying to be blk,he stole some of them blk dudes swag and ran 🏃♂️ with it....he was so funny 🤣 to see 👀 him dance, and sing a song " he be mumbling, can't even understand what he said 🤣 😂 like prince on purple rain mumbling something 🤣 but it sounded good
He's right and it's true because they're greedy.
And they have an agenda to destroy US
Greedy beyond a reasonable doubt!
It's really slavery with a contract that's why Prince had slave on his face once
@@DavidWilliams-cl8gzExactly
Prince was preaching facts!! Rest In Power to that brotha!!! ✊🏾✊🏾
Amen!
💜🙏🏽
They don't like it because they can't control the Artist.
They feel like they are the one's who made you hot.. if not for them, you wouldn't be a household name... gotta read those contracts and have an exit plan in the contract..
Tell the little 🪘 drummer boys, to be their own boss. The drum is OURS.
@@OllieMissouri-is6ei it's all our's
That's so true as they don't like it when an artist is independent. I agree with Prince.
Their vultures .that kill artist Career.if they can't control them
They killed Michael for owning all the publishing They turning on Cube for his ownership of intellectual property don’t let em spin the story
When my grandfather went independent everything prince said was true enough said
Young dolph was independent too
When I think about what I believe happened to Prince, it brings tears to my eyes. And reinforces my belief, that our people need to walk away from this entertainment industry. We don't need Hollywood. It's nothing more than a modern day Plantation.
Exactly. It is demonic and evil
BLACKS NEED TO WALK AWAY FROM AMERICAN SOCIETY AN CULTURE PERIOD.
Yes sir a plantation with glits and glamour on the outside but full of darkness and demonic people in the back room with no soul
@@DavidWilliams-cl8gz yeah exactly it's all smoke and mirrors. Modern society is an artificial prison masquerading as freedom and happiness. It's all an illusion. They TRICKED us all. They played us but the worst part of all is we played ourselves.
@@DavidWilliams-cl8gz The matrix is real. We live stuck inside computers and smart phones. We are slaves to technology and civilization now. It's time to go back to the forests and jungles and get away from this modern civilization.
And Prince Rogers Nelson played 27 instruments fluently 🎸🎷🎹🥁🎻🪕🎧. He was actually a talented musician not just a performer
A child prodigy. Became a famous adult. Education is never wasted. Music executives what instruments do they play fluently?
And he was self trained
@@DavidWilliams-cl8gz my cousin is like prince
These executives love to screw artists over.
WE ARE THE CULTURE ...
Yes we are!!!!!
I think it's true.some People's hate when u r independent. because they can't get to control u. The want to put u into a box .
Michael, Prince, and Cooke. Exactly.
And it's always the same bullshit they OD or car reck or suicide all bullshit
Michael was attempting to purchase Marvel and the Star Wars franchise. Imagine his influence if he were to succeed? That would have been his retirement fund
Yes Hip Hop is a Black American creation, damn right.💖
So is Rock, Country, Alternative, and Pop! Black Americans created it all!
@@bharris4517 Yes, absolutely. Country music was birthed from R & B music.🇺🇸💖🎶💞
Let's not lie here It wasn't created in America 50 years ago.Speaking on a bit has always been an art form in many African countries it was used to tell our history,war praise or boasting. You call them rappers we here southern Africa is called imbongi,west Africa there call them Oriki or Griots.This art form came to America with the African slaves and it took off
@@ntandondebele2930FALSE! HIP HOP is a Black American artform🔴🔱⚫✊🏿🇺🇲. There is no HIP HOP in Africa before we created it goofy!
@@MichaelMoon863 So is soul music,blues jazz , country you name it came with African slaves to America, Now the reason why it took off there is because Hollywood is a global stage and everyone around the world is watching and the fact that black people have a God given talent.We didn't have that exposure here in Africa but through social media things a slowly shifting for us
Absolutely right brotha Philip. The nations always bitin off our culture and play like they made things up.
Prince was saying facts! These new artists need to listen to Prince and others who promoted owning your creations.
We have created 90% of thee world's music 🎶 with out a question of a doubt!!!
I love Prince music. He was one of a kind and there will be no one like him. May he Rest in Peace in the Ancestral Realm🕊️
in hell...He violated The Black Bible and will pay.
@@user-zt1pq7hq6yOnly the Most High God can decide that. You, me or anyone else cannot say who is going to hell or not. Let God handle that.
@@user-zt1pq7hq6yAlso that man probably made peace with God before he left here. You are not God and you do not have the right to say who is going to hell or not. You make sure your soul is right before you start condemning someone else and that is the REAL TALK.
@@user-zt1pq7hq6yworry about your soul and salvation! God will deal with each of us!
@@tracyr173 👏🏾
Prince was way ahead of his time, he was clued up. RIP Genius Prince ❤🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Great video coverage Phillip 💯 I hope everyone is taking notes 📝 And we need to protect and defend our culture
And each other
@@DavidWilliams-cl8gz that's protecting our culture protecting each other
Protect Black Excellence 👏🏽✊🏽Phil 🔥
Are U black American
Black Americans have not only defined cultural in America but in the world! Music and dance across the globe owes the creative genius of the American slave and their offspring. We need to stop allowing others to continue to cash in and appropriate our legacy as if they are doing something “new”. Black people, support independent black artists of all musical styles. There are black artists with musical skills and songs on par with the great entertainers past and present. But we allow an industry that has consistently abused and taken advantage of our people to determine what music and which artists we get to hear. There is more out there! Let’s give our artists a platform! Support black artists….!
Prince played over 30 instruments the guitar is just one of his favorite we all know. And we're trend setters. A lot of artists are figuring or figured out what Prince is saying. And yes, Prince did eventually go independent with his own lable. The label he's sitting by in this interview
been saying for a while how much of a rider prince is. guy was way ahead of everyone in the music industry with how he approached making and distributing music.
I have so much respect for both Prince and MJ. I love their music…. Rest in peace to the kings….
That why they killed him
We created all music genre in america in one way or the other.
Prince and Young Dolph Lead as Powerful Independent Artists . R.I.P. to them both .
Well said Phil. Rest in B1ack power PRINCE 🖤
Back in the dayz people thought prince was a punk, but that brother was straight as a arrow and had plenty of super bad women. Prince was on another level of the game when it came to being a musician and getting at the women.💪💯
He was my favorite, and I remember my mother telling me to take his album cover off my wall because he was gay! I argued with her so much that day, I got a whoopin! 😂
Garrett Morgan, the inventor of the GAS MASK, was FBA.
You speak the truth Phil never sign with anyone of them become independent
You taught me something that I could not learn about the record business. I am grateful and thankful to Phillip Scott, "Uncle Phil," for teaching me a valuable lesson about culture.👌
You need to Google prince and learn about his struggles with sony
Game Blouses! RIP Prince! May you forever purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka!
You hit it on the nose Phil! Prince was correct! His genius will be missed, but will live on!!! MAY HE REST IN POWER 🎉
❤Prince RIP 🪦 he was self made man ✅
And when or if you leave anything to your family make sure it states INPERPETUITY!
Yes he is@LEGEND AND JUST DOWN RIGHT A REAL ONE 💯💜🙏🏼RIPO. W. E. R. KING
The only original art forms in America are Jazz and Hip-Hop (and R&B ,etc. All having roots in Gospel/Spirituals!) are OURS, African American Peoples.
Rock and roll, country and blues.
The music industry kill Sam Cook Otis Redding Michael Jackson and Prince just to name a few
Sam Cooke and Michael Jackson were murdered. Otis Redding dead in a plane crash.
👏🏿💯💃🏿love Otis and Sam..Dock of The Bay..🤗
Don't forget the great Jimi Hendrix as well!
Michael Jackson was so the most powerful artist ever and took over the music industry including Beyonce and Jay-Z Rihanna Eminem elvis etc thats why they took him out
Thank you, Brother Phil. I always thought we didn't have a culture (taken away through slavery), but we always did.
(Wrong) We dont. Real black culture isn't a trend or a fad. Real Black culture doesn't depend on managers. RnB,Soul,Blues,Jazz,Neosoul.....are long GONE! We dont make these anymore..so it's true, we still don't have a culture.
''Black america is not only A culture, it is THE culture.'' BAM !
When Kris Kross wore their clothes backward, everyone in the world jumped in on that fashion trend. International runways are filled with our fashion ideas, and we influence every facet of entertainment globally! "Envelopians" only embark upon efforts that are exclusive and destructive to those with whom they encounter to their discredit. From freedom fighting to social elevation, we are the initiators of inclusive global social change. So when I think of supremacy, it is difficult to see how "them folks" consider themselves the standard. Shalom!
Perhaps, why he’s no longer here!!
I ask the most high TO CONTINUE to BLESS this channel for all the pertinent information sent out to the PEOPLE...thank u AFRICAN DIASPORA.....1 PEOPLE....1 MIND....1 LOVE ❤️.....1 NATION......1
Phil i appreciate and approve of everything you said!
They kills me with that no culture mess!!! 😂
Phil, on point,Sir!! Even you saying"You know What I'm Saying ". That's part of the culture. 😊
Guess what I found out about Jasmine Guy, she can't use the character Whitley Gilbert and she created it and developed it throughout the series A Different World, she doesn't own it. I was floored, because she could of made bank off of it. Listen to our brother Scott, he's telling you truth, these people have lived off our back, from slavery to this day, but they want to hide this fact, CUT THE CHECK!!!!
Prince, Sly and Jimi are all legends. Even in death, Prince made sure his music was protected and not used commercially and monetized. He was brilliant. Speaking of not monetizing, TLC is a perfect example of corruption and greed within the industry. They had a lot to say about Pebbles and Babyface and their corruption.
Happened to so many artist. And it is for that reason that for so many years Ive been saying if black folk want to get back at America all we have to do is LEAVE. This place will crumble and it deserves it
Look at what happened to Jimmi Hendrix too. He fired his manager and before the contract terminated the manager had Hendrix killed. The press said it was an overdose and upon autopsy more than a liter of wine was found in his lungs. That information wasn't told until Hendrix had been dead 2 decades or more. Artist should never sign a contract with those who'll gain more from their deaths than their lives.
Look at what happened to Sisco from dru-hill. Because he said the words “living la vida loca”. Even though he was really great friends with the people who wrote that song. They took half his publishing and demanded that they be considered co-writers of the entire song. If you look at the credits of the song. Their names are on it. The people who are not black do not want black people profiting on their own music and creations.
MUCH RESPECT TO YOU MR PHILLIP SCOTT FOR THIS CONTENT, PRINCE, THANK YOU AS WELL, MAY YOU REST IN PIECE!!!
Cosplaying our entire body, and that’s sickening….
He fought a long battle with Warner brothers over the Batman soundtrack and he was stripped of his name Prince, so he outsmarted Warner brothers by writing “the artists formerly known as PRINCE” to use his name. Prince finally won and got his name back and the rights to his music. He also used the symbol as his name and what impressed me that the newspaper where he lived was selling for $3.00 a copy and included in the paper was a free cd of his music. A lot of artist were only getting a certain amount for each cd that was sold. Every artists should own the rights to their music because the record labels will pay you a small amount for an artists masters and make more residual income in the future. Prince was that dude. Back when purple rain came out,Prince and Micheal Jackson were the two biggest black music stars in the industry.
Prince is very spot on what he's said kept it 💯💯💯💯rip to him totally missed u 😭😭😭😭
Modern day slavery, which is why prince put the word slave on his face to call it out. His album covers at that time did not depict his face, but illustrations instead.
“ You know legend die young rest in peace Prince and Pimp C” -Nipsey Hussle
You are right about the music. I was out one day. I heard this loud rap music coming from this car. Guess who was in the car? A middle-aged wte man! Also, some wte people love R and B, the blues, and jazz even more than us. Also, before integration there was Styx Records and Motown.
We needs to stop saying; "R&B and Hip-hop is for everyone" Now they're stealing our dances.
Greedy wow.
Same ole script,parasites being parasitic..
Exactly!! When will we learn.
he was murdered another one gone mysteriously
What ever happened to Dej loaf, she was independent.
I think you answered the question already. She should’ve signed
Ownership is the name of the game.
Speaking Fact 💯💯💯
True indeed brother Phil we as black people are the innovators of American music and culture scene as awhole. We are the flavor of America. Take out the black culture and inventions and America would be boring as hell. Like canada or Europe 😅
Great Message Sir!👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Color of law needs to be addressed
It's obvious ......these young rappers who were independent are the rappers that's been "deleted" in the past 5 ....10 years.....
LONG Live the memory & legacy of Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson......🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
You have to be independent from the beginning.
Hold up.. truth spoken, now all the new platforms are being bout out by the same people whom we are trying to stay away from. Crazy but truth.
That's why rich Blacks aren't allowed to own a $10 million franchise, it's too much power for 1 Black.
This is happening to me now. A play I wrote AND doing well internationally - my royalties, after all these years, is hardly enough to buy a loaf of bread.
I understand completely what you are saying and agree with it, although it's hard to avoid these people you talk of. I make and own my own music to enjoy the artistic freedom to make what I want, but just putting a music video up on youtube is already contributing to their machine. Great stuff as always. Thanks for the updates. Peace and love
The issues started when MJ was not selling the Beatles catalogue back to the record industry. The record industry was thinking that MJ can own the Beatles catalogue for awhile and sell it back to the record industry for a profit. When MJ said No then the issues came. He owned 70% of Sony and a lot of music catalogues. He knew the " Business of Music " in which the record industry didn't appreciate. Sony got back the Beatles catalogue from MJ's estate on the claims of getting MJ's estate back red.
I LOVE YOUR WISDOM
Yeah, Burna Boy wear clothes of your culture.
An Asian man told me that Bruno Mars can play Prince in a documentary movie on his life because Prince wasn’t Black. This is why BP need to gate-keep their culture.
Another thing I want to point is that alot of modern artist today are dodging record labels so much to the point where they had to create a AI rappers
FACTSSSS
YES PHIL!!! You hit the nail on the HEAD. 100%%%%%
The Library of Congress automatically returns copyright ownership to the songwriter after 35 years per the 1976 Copyright Act. Michael began writing and publishing when he left Motown 1975. He was taken in 2009. One year shy of 35 years. Prince began writing and publishing in 1978. He was taken in 2016. He made it to 38 years. George Michael began writing and publishing in 1983. Taken 2016. 33 years. 2016 was a year of losing many music artists. What happened exactly 35 years previously? The birth of MTV and many modern songwriters.
That is true Babylon and Sodom and Gomorrah wrapped up in one
Just as Africa can feed themselves without foreign Aid, entitlement need little work 🤲🏽🧎🏾♀️
And america cannot feed themselves people and children are starving in this country just because you don't show it don't mean it's not reality
Why they not feeding themselves ?
Prince has been talking about it!
Speaking out on this is why he is no longer living.
I started a record label back in 1990 and I did all the work. All I needed was a distributor and do you know that? They told me in order to sign up to Sprint and deal with them. I would have to give them part of my catalog
Black Artist been mysteriously deleted when they own their royalties, since Sam Cook ?🤔
And who said we have no culture?? SMH boi boi boi
🗣️FACTS LET EM KNOW PHIL
You are absolutely right. Thank you for speaking truth.
That’s why Prince put the word “Slave” on his face back in the day. People thought he was crazy. It was more like…tell me you’re not a slave to the music industry without telling me you’re a slave to the music industry. 😑
The music industry is a microcosm of Capitola in America. The least talented, laziest people sit at the top and profit the most while offering the ones who have the talent, innovation and work ethic crumbs.
It's very similar to the Hollywood strike.
One of the best examples of this TLC.
I Love and am so Proud of you. Young man ,I tell everyone about you , they don’t all listen, but it’s not because I don’t try because you are spreading the truth. Keep doing what you doing son very very proud of you.
Wonderful message brother ✊
Jazz, another black American created music. Don't forget.
The machine is so devilish
