If she continues with her antics well into the 2020s, this thread should be renamed "The Danielle Bregoli (Cash Me Outside Girl) thread".

You're supposed to have parental consent but most shops don't seem to enforce that.

Seems to be the current procedure.
The labels these days apparently sign an artist (with little to no experience), push the first single hard (in Finland that's about 5000€ for decent airplay on Spotify, needs about 2 million streams to recoup) and if there's no interest, they move on to the next one.

Sad thing is, the artist doesn't see any money beyond the advance until the label recoups theirs, so the artist has to go on the road to get some cash. And that's where the inexperience comes into play: if the artist sucks, no gigs.

And people wonder why most bands/artists take the DIY route...

Re: the bolded, the record companies in the American have even found a way to get the touring money too. (((They))) call them "360 Deals" and it basically lets the label get a cut of all the artist revenue streams above and beyond normal record sales.

Slightly off-topic but the record label is still very new concept while music is as old as humanity. The internet opened Pandora's Box and was the death-knell for the music industry. I'm glad that they major labels are slowly drying trying to commodify and homogenize artistry/creativity(not saying that Danielle has any talent though ha).

Yeah, 360 deals are also in Finland as well, based on what I've heard, especially the big 3 (Sony, Warner and Universal, who pretty much own every other label).

Thank God for the internet and the way it turbocharged the DIY route.

Not sure where you are getting this info but tattoo shops enforce the 18+ rule like their lives depend on it...because it actually kind of does. All it takes is one report to the state from a pissed off parent for the shop to get shut down. Every shop I've been to has had teenagers who are close to 18, still 17, go in only to get turned away....and IDs are checked.

Most of my homies who had tattoos while underage got them from an unlicensed person who does tattoos out of their home with tattoo guns bought from ebay.

Does anyone have a link to the original Dr Phil appearance?

You just answered your own question, brother! You see, the Cultural Marxists want the dissolution of the family. Children that will be raised will be raised by the weaker and less rational parent, of course!

She also has a new song out called "Hi Bich" (yes, that's how she spells "bitch"):

"Cash Me Outside’ Girl Signing Marks The Official Split of the Music Industry

There are now two completely separate music industries.

And most don’t even realize this. It has been a long time coming.

One, you have the traditional music industry. I call it the Superstar Business. And it’s run by the major labels. For a while now, of course, they have been solely focused on how to make the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time. This year. This week. This day. This moment.

Their vision and strategic timelines have been getting shorter and shorter. Gone are the days where a Columbia records sticks it out through two failed (full length) albums because they believe in an artist – like what happened with Bruce Springsteen.

Now the majors won’t even sign you unless you’re already proven — with the numbers to tout.

If you hadn’t lost all respect for major record labels yet, well you have now. Atlantic Records just signed someone who is not a musician. Is not a rap “artist.” Is not any more talented than the next 14 year old kid who can kinda rap. But has a following. A massive one at that.

If you have been living under a rock the past week, you may have missed that Atlantic Records just signed (a 360 deal no doubt) Danielle Bregoli (a.k.a. Bhad Bhabie) — who got shot to stardom by her colorful appearance on Dr. Phil. The “Cash Me Outside” meme (and remix) was born. And in true Kardashian fashion, she has since gained millions of Instagram followers.

Atlantic records doesn’t care about art. Doesn’t care about musicians. Doesn’t care about artists. All Atlantic Records (and their execs) care about is money.

We live in a capitalist society. So this is all fine and dandy I guess. But don’t think for a second that when you (or your artist) sign to a major that you will get some personalized attention because you have some artistic purity or integrity. Or because you think your music is great. Unless you’re going to make them a lot of money this year, don’t even bother walking in the front door

Let’s remember that Bhad Bhabi charted on the Billboard Hot 100, not because she has millions of fans. But because she has millions of people who wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

Myself included. You don’t need to buy records today to do this. All you need to do is head over to YouTube or Spotify and play the song for free. And Billboard tracks every stream. 1,500 streams equals a Streaming Equivalent Album (SEA) purchase – hence the Billboard charting. Let’s note that although she hit #1 on the US Viral Charts on Spotify, no one is buying her song on iTunes – she didn’t even crack the top 200 trending songs as of Monday (2 weeks after the release).

Yes, she has millions of Instagram followers. But I consider fans to be those who would actually spend money on their favorite artists. Attend concerts. Buy merch in a non-ironic way (see “Cash Me Outside” sold out Ts).

Or maybe she does have fans. I suppose she is perfectly emblematic of American culture right now: Led by a bombastic misogynist as President supported by an aggressively anti-PC base.

What do we expect? We live in a reality TV nation — where people believe the way to “make it” in music is to either win a TV singing contest or go viral and get signed to a major record label.

When in reality this doesn’t prove to be a path to sustained success in the music industry.

And the major record labels know this. And really don’t give a flying fuck. They are set up that way.

The major labels are in the business of making money — not developing or showcasing talent. Period.

So get rid of that misconception.

And what is the other music industry existing right now? I call it the New Music Business. And it’s much more encouraging.

It is an industry existing completely outside TMZ culture. One that is not being written about by any of the culture rags. Or even Billboard very often. Because it’s not very sexy.

It is the industry of the independents. The working musicians. The DIYers damning the system and proclaiming they are not in it for quick fame and instant success, but because music is at the core of who they are. And they would rather build a career than chase fame.

There are literally tens of thousands of independent musicians, managing sustainable music careers, making middle class livings (or oftentimes 6-7 figure incomes), who you have never heard of. And Variety or TMZ will never write about.

Every creator on Patreon. Every artist touring clubs and theaters. Every musician running Kickstarters and PledgeMusic and IndieGoGo campaigns. Every indie artist making a living licensing songs on TV shows, commercials and films. Every artist making a music career happen in a creative way in 2017. There’s no one way to make it in the New Music Business. There are a hundred. And you haven’t heard of 95 of those ways. None of them have to do with getting signed to a major record label.

Because this is the new industry we are living in.

The “other” music business. The New Music Business is not supported by the major record labels. It’s not about a hit, but a career. It’s not about capitalizing on hilarious memes, but building relationships with fans.

I don’t care about Bhad Bhabi. And neither will anyone else (especially not Atlantic Records) in 3 years time. I’m not going to trash a 14 year old. That’s not cool no matter what you think of her or her perceived success.

Getting signed by a major record label is NOT a marker of success.

When 99% of all acts that get signed to major record labels fail (i.e. do not recoup the cost of their advance and get dropped), the odds are actually worse for you if you attempt to work within the traditional music industry. You might as well go and buy a lottery ticket.

So, both of these industries are existing. Simultaneously. One run by musicians defining their own career destinies. And the other by money-hungry opportunists. Which do you want to be a part of?

[DJ-Matt]

Ugh, once Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler sold Atlanic to Warner it went downhill fast.

Gone is the label of Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin.

It's really sad if you know the history, they were THE R&B label back in the day. There would have been no Motown if Atlantic never existed.

I made it through 0.75 seconds of that attrocious noise. Something about "Bitches" in an ear-splitting squeal, while an electronic track played underneath that sounded like sloth and sodomy.

Not sure who wrote the lyrics. Some demon I suspect.

Here is a true story. A couple of weeks ago I was spending some days in one of the East Coast's most iconic seaside towns, very beautiful and very quiet at that time of year. One evening I was walking to that town's ritziest restaurant for a solo dinner, as you near it there is a place past the Citarella where the main drag takes a slight turn. It had been a gorgeous, seasonably warm day -- the very last of the real warmth -- and a perfect evening outside. I was rounding that turn when on the street corner across from me I saw a hot young girl in a car, an open-roof convertible. She was wearing an expensive pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt and playing a song, LOUD, on whatever superb audio device she had installed in that vehicle; the song was Bhad Bhabie's Gucci Flip Flops. I looked at her, smiled, and nodded to the song; and she laughed, hard -- the most girlish laughter I've ever heard, the laughter of a young gal with looks, money, and not a care in the world. She pushed the gas pedal and drove away but in the stillness and purity of the air I could still hear the chorus:

Gucci flip flops, fuck it, hit your bitch in my socks
This a big watch, diamond drippin' off of the clock

It lingered in the air for a few moments, then faded away, I walked on to the place I was headed for some blissfully mediocre fish. It was a moment I will never forget.

[GlobalMan]

Lizard, thank you for injecting some beautiful and much needed humanity, I knew I couldn't be the only one who sees it.

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

It's story time with Danielle. Truly the Aristotle of our time.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

Maybe it's just the makeup, but at 15 she already looks more like 25. At this rate, by the time she's 18 she won't even be usable for porn.

[Tex Cruise]

I actually found that interesting enough to be listenable. Just once though, I don't want to hear it ever again.. That's still far above most songs I hear these days.
