Whatever happened with those African cats? I thought we'd see Livewire making moves with them, then again I guess we wouldn't be the ideal market for it lol.

360 deals are contracts that allow a record label to receive a percentage of the earnings from ALL of a band's activities instead of just record sales. Under 360 deals, also called "multiple rights deals," record labels may get a percentage of things that were previously off limits to them, like:

Concert revenue
Merchandise sales
Endorsement deals
Ringtones
In exchange for getting a bigger cut from the artists they represent, the labels say they will commit to promoting the artist for a longer period of time and will actively try and develop new opportunities for them. In essence, the label will function as a pseudo-manager and look after the artist's entire career rather than only focusing on selling records.
360 deals are controversial for a lot of reasons. First of all, they're often seen a cynical money grab by labels that are facing dwindling sales and high overhead. The charge is that labels have survived a long time without these kinds of deals, so it would seem that they're suffering from a failure to manage their businesses and react appropriately to the changing industry - asking the bands to foot the bill hardly seems fair. Other people object to the whole "band branding" notion that makes 360 deals so potentially profitable for labels. A great example is The Pussycat Dolls. Sure, the branding has been a huge success - but where exactly does the music fit into the picture?

Labels counter that these deals let them sign different kinds of artists because they don't have to be so focused on recouping their investment from album sales. They can stop chasing the instant number one and work with artist in the long haul because they don't need to rely on big sales figures alone to make signing the artist profitable.

Controversial or not, 360 deals are becoming increasingly common in major label contracts.

(Sounds like a fucked up situation) Unless she gets one hell of a huge hit thats in the big time of millions. All of that money from that 1million is going to get took from that.. .. man do yal know if she got any advancement. how many points do she get? who controls her masters?

Miss Info was the first person to leak the details about the deal. She insinuated that it was a 360 deal here.

All it takes it one viral hit to hit paydirt. Just ask Oakland-native Kreayshawn. The indie female rapper’s song “Gucci Gucci” went from youtube hit to hipster sensation in just a few months, sparking a bidding war with multiple labels. Today, insiders tell Miss Info that Kreayshawn has signed with Sony for over a million dollars. Will she live up to the hype? And if the music cant sell enough to justify the upfront payoff, does she have the presence to make the 360 degrees of shows and merchandise worthwhile?
I'd hit her up and ask her to clear things up or something.
