Theory about Tez

[kbailey12]

I don't make a lot of posts, I mainly just look at the news and what you guys are saying. Recently, back when there was some hype for a C5 single and those Wayne interviews I saw a lot of comments and threads about Tez picking songs. Mainly like "tez better not fuck this up" "Tez picks the shittiest songs" etc. Mostly negative.

But my theory has to do not with Tez but who controls Tez. Idk names or anything but we all know the music industry is pretty controlled. They decide who to promote and what not and they usually pick artists who promote drugs, sex, violence, gangs etc. It's really just a fact. So my question is really, do you think Tez has as much impact on picking songs as you think? I personally think he gets pressured from the higher ups in Universal. Not saying Tez doesn't have input but these "higher ups" and billionaire executives from Universal want numbers bcuz that's money which then would pressure Tez to pick radio-ish songs and shit.

Just a theory on the song selection process for not only Wayne and C5, but pretty much all artists signed to a major label. Once an artist signs the contract ("sells their soul") they basically have no rights and are not part of the decision making about their image or promotion. Let me know what your opinion is!!

You lost me on the "Sell their soul" part but I get what your saying. Maybe for singles the Universal higher ups have more of a say but I would think for songs that do/don't make the album Tez has a lot more to do with it than Universal does

naw i do think its tez and not universal

i think universal and wayne himself both trust tez

cause he has picked good singles in the past

Same

I hope this topic don't turn into an illuminati argument

[kbailey12]

You can disregard the whole "sell your soul" comment. I meant it in a stand point of signing away your rights and input once you sign a major contract. And yes Tez has picked good singles in the past and for the most part pretty good albums. Thanks for the feedback!

Cortez and Universal probably pick the single together

i think its easier to blame tez so thats why we do

[Black00]

in today's music industry artists dont choose their work , you gott ba indy or something , so i dont care if its tez or anyone else , as long as weezy himself doesnt choose the singles and tracklists (same goes with every musician that is controlled by marketing etc) it's sad

He could sign to Strange Music to be able to choose his singles and songs on the album lol.

i just wish wayne would choose his own singles

he did twice as we know about, and those ended up being horrible choices (Prom queen & My Homies still)
