VideoFACTS (Artist Welfare)...

As a Canuck in this music game, its lovely knowing our guv't is willing to give us free money to help elevate our "careers" and help a few bitches recognize the faces become groupies and all that good stuff. Here's where they fucked up the game tho........number one once you're a self-sufficent band like sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Our Lady Peace
Throughout their career, the band has sold over five million albums worldwide,[1] won four Juno Awards, and won ten MuchMusic Video Awards—the most MMVAs ever awarded to any artist or group.
- .....or even Snow yea the guy who sang INFORRRRRRRRRRMA sumthimsumthimsumthimasumthin A licky boom-boom down, yea that 40 year old white dude who has the guiness book record for highest selling reggae single ever in the US, yea he's still gettin artist welfare like really you're gonna give these dudes money to put out music videos??

Who is really buying a Snow album??
Our Lady Peace are now grown ass men who should be paying for their own video or wtv label they're on should be paying instead of ttaking money from what could be the budding career of a young and upcoming musical talent. Here's the problem with rap, we've gotten so fucked up in the releasing of club tracks and having huge singles to sell an album as they do in the states. Here before you can even apply for a factorgrant you must have a product that has sold over a certain amount of units. NO RAPPERS HERE SELL ALBUMS.....Kardi was the great hope until Drake came along and he sold like 11 000 his 1st week, which by our understanding horrendous. Well there's also a problem with the few dudes who ARE getting grants and still haven't released any material for fans to pick up besides a mixtape, or to establish a career from after getting guv't money and thats almost more of a shame than having to wait for the buzz from a rappers "single" on radio only to have to wait to see the video next June or wtv adam bomb said on Canada Sucks when the song is irrelevant.

Fuck My Buzz Tho right????

Biggup to Crystal Castles for gettin a factor grant tho, I like their shit
