A record label specializes in manufacturing, distributing and promoting audio and video recordings, on various formats.
Major record labels don't care about putting out 'great music'. They only care about making money. That's why they normally focus on signing artists who are eye candy (ie good looks, sexy, good dance moves, dresses nice etc..)
Even though most record labels are out of touch with what most music fans want, they convince their artists that they are in touch with what music fans want. That's why most artists end up being hated by the same music fans who used to love them.
Record labels love to prey on naive artists (who don't know a lot about the music business) because they're easier to milk for everything that they're worth.
Record labels (and their middlemen)usually bribe radio stations to play their artist's songs (i.e. payola).
Most record labels are very corrupt.

If you sign with a major record label without knowing anything about the music business, you're gonna get screwed.
Sometimes it's better to sign with an "independent" record label.

When you're being the Grand Diva of pettiness, just like Patti LaBelle is the Grand Diva of Soul and R&B. You exhibit your pettiness through fascinating creativity and an unmatched dramatic flair.
Qwettah wrote a status message telling EVERYONE about Reina's accidental nose dive off the stage during her talent show performance, attached a pic of Eddie King, Jr. singing , with the caption: "Nights like this I wish that Reina would fall!!" She is sooooo Petty LaBelle!!

Refers to any record/song whether MP3, vinyl or CDR that is not signed to a record label. Often times white label tunes will be remixes usually samples illegally to show off a track and sell it to a record company but with no information about who made it so that no one can be sued - though everybody knows who made it. The production usually includes his or her contact information on the white label.
"A tune that is not signed to any record label, though you may find later that the tune gets signed to a record label and released. There are usually limited copies of it."
"The name white label comes from the fact that most promo records used to be sent out in an unfinished state, with the label completely white. The term incorporates any record that is not a finished product, including promos, test pressings and dub plates."
