The Industry Is Now a Song Business

Steve Stoute – aka “The Commissioner”-- joins Rich Kleiman for the newest episode of Boardroom Talks for a raw, unfiltered conversation on culture, music, and the rise of fame over talent. From getting his nickname from Nas to advising icons like Jay-Z and Jimmy Iovine, Stoute breaks down how hip-hop reshaped business, and where things are headed next. He explains why “fame doesn’t need talent anymore,” and how that shift is changing everything from music to media to personal branding.
