record label 

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.

Record Label Syndrome 

The act of theoretically spending your money before you've made the product.
Singer - "Dude, when our album sells 4 million copies, I'm gonna buy a boat, the music video is gonna have explosions and a Lil' Wayne verse and..."

Producer - "Have you started writing the songs?"

Singer - "Nope!"

Producer - "You have Record Label Syndrome"

WSDMGC73’s Record Label

WSDMGC73 releases are credited under “8429551 Records DK,” which is not an actual record label but DistroKid’s generic auto-generated imprint for user uploads. It provides no contracts, no promotion, no A&R, no budget, and no professional backing. Any artist using DistroKid receives a similar placeholder tag. This means WSDMGC73 is fully self-uploaded, unsigned, and unsupported—consistent with their non-organic streaming patterns and the absence of real industry or street-level presence.
“ WSDMGC73’s Record Label is just themselves hyping themselves — the same way their ‘fans,’ ‘collective,’ and ‘hype man’ are the same three people behind every upload: Lady Dlow, Lil Dlow, and 30kTorry.”—South-LA local

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
