Video: Kill The Record Labels
Written by HipHopRX Denise on June 9th, 2009 in Business, People - U.S., Videos, Hip Hop.

Kill The Record Labels takes you behind the scenes with rappers and DJ’s such as DJ Drama, Lil Scrappy, Jim Jones, Chamillionaire, Green Lantern, DJ Lazy K, Red Cafe and others as the talk about the music industry and more.
For decades hip hop has been controlled by the record companies. They invest millions and profit billions from global cassette, CD, and now ringtone sales. Music moguls afford a lifestyle comparable to what we see on MTV cribs.
Eventually hip hop artist would adapt the record company formula, and start to strategically promote and market there own music. This has created a conflict inside the industry. The Record companies, in conjunction with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), have declared war. Offices have been raided, Mom and Pop stores have been closed, and many have been arrested. Hip Hop Artists, Djs, and producers have decided that the only way to survive in the music business is to “Kill The Record Labels.”
