Also in addition personally I think Lyor Cohen is a smart guy and it's a good look for him, I think a lot of international artists will get signed in addition to the talent that was already being signed at WMG. Not only will he get to oversee American hip-hop but also hip-hop from around the world and also oversee genres and styles of all recorded music on Warner Music Group. That's a lot of artists, fam. Maybe finally we'll see something other than "this is why I'm hot" "Crank dat" or "meet me in the mall, it's goin down"

seed: Warner isn't just warner bros records.

Most of the losses have come from the relatively new Warner Brothers Records which is not all of WMG

WMG includes Atlantic, Independent(Asylum/Eastwest) and Rhino which regularly pull in profits.

However, labels like Maverick which are under WB Records Inc. regularly lose money because they take chances on artists which other major labels might not sign.

As a company, they have been losin' money, but their major labels have been doing well.

It's difficult to explain that. But take a look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Music_Group

And you can see all the sub-labels of WMG.

Lyor as a businessman did lots of good stuff when he was at Def Jam, he isn't always like the rest of the people you see in the industry:

I know lots of wiki links and all but do the research yourself, Lyor is okay, he helped a lot of classic artists get on and make money.

Lyor hasn't done shit to earn a pay check while at warner. Instead of being shown the way out he gets an extension with a pay increase. Aside from illegal downloads the reason why the industry is collapsing is because of incompetent leadership from the executives like the ones who gave an extension to Lyor.

Basically another case of a ceo getting a promotion while running his company into the ground. God bless America. But on some real knowledge, Record labels will be obsolete in about 5-10 years anyway so get your independent hustle up.

Damn he still getting paid while the industry is fucked... shit I need a job with that man for real!

Man fuck these industry bitches...they want to claim that they don't make any money but let us not forget that they're publicly traded companies and that's where the money comes from but record sells are needed in all but I'm tryin' to keep my independent status as long as possible. It's hard work but just keep grinding and success will follow.

Good for Mr. Cohen, but historically, he's fronted on various Def Jam artists during their tenure: LL Cool J, Public Enemy for sure, 3rd Bass, Ja Rule, even Jay-Z & Dame Dash... more executive money, less for the artists.. classic..
