In Kanye's world, here's what artists would get when they sign a record deal.

has a new vision for what record deals oughta look like in the music industry -- and his guidelines are heavily in favor of the artist and making them money.

For starters, Kanye says the artists would automatically own the copyright to the songs and recordings they churn out for a label in his ideal world, and that they'd lease them to companies for a maximum period of time of just one year. There's more. Kanye also thinks artists shouldn't need anyone repping them as they navigate their own deals -- as he feels if you're working in music, you should understand it from top to bottom, with no help. He also wants contracts to be written in plain English, not lawyer talk. He says lawyers are supposed to make things easier ... not convolute the process.

My worst experience w/pop🎶&the radio?Back in late 1990s,afteTowerRecords,I worked TradeJoesgraveyardstocking. It was policy to play the worst pop🎶s you ever heard,thank God only two an hour?,wellyeahBUT,at nightwhen 🎶isnt playing all there are?,loud blaringcarcommercials etc👎

If youre lucky enough to grow out of all music, as you get older, except classical,what indeed are the possible benefits?You have your own thoughts,in your head,that aren't randomly interjected all day w/bs'dream of Californi'--'hit me baby1more'--'this is why Im hot' as an adult

Doesnt makesense to me, how, people can still enjoy🎶from 1960s,1990s,(I'll always love 1980s music,only exception,all of it), &listen to music from 2000-2010 too etc,listen to all of it for10-30yrs,&want to hear those songs even one moretime. As I got older?Grew out ofALLmusic👍

If it was up to me? All music would be illegal except classical music. The fact most people don't agree past age 30 by the latest is the problem.

fisheyed foo

We should make popmusic illegal because its probably an unknown leading factor in violence in America. From?Kids playing the stupid music like literally a quadrillion times,then like?,OKAY NOW?,1000more times... end the madness,end,the,madness... . Parents dont deserve that abuse

I feel bad for this guy. Mental illness is real. Get off social media and quit 'walking for president'. You're not gonna win. Kim isn't going around supporting you in your walk. Take your meds.

I could tell you where pop music really comes from, but you wouldn't want me to tell you. Roughly its from a combination of really powerful drugs involved in experimental satanic rituals w/human sacrifices👎.

Why shouldn't pop artists be treated better? They're all just lip synching underground dungeon torture music out of context. I mean, if they had, real original work, THEN, maybe he'd have a point, but they don't so he doesn't.

How about instead? We make all pop music illegal BECAUSE ALLLLLLL THAT BS is hell of annoying anyways?

Yeah, filling his own pockets!

Wait isn’t he running for wesident....he is beyond irritating

This dude is only doing this for himself..he don’t care about other artists...that’s why he’s on a rant trying to get people behind him

*Guess what ye,*Nobody cares

some of them read fair to me but will they come true idk

And no one cares

TMZ removed their comment section on the website so people cant challenge their BS lies...

So he doesn't want to be president anymore?

Is he finished running for president
