the irony of this list is if you are doing all of these things you do not need an a&r at all or a label for that matter.

leverage for them to own you and your music while you give them a larger percentage of your money? no Thanks. I look at a guy like Macklemoore no label backing #1 song in the country right now. That is the way to go. Its more work and sure he got lucky because that won't happen for most but you really stand to put more money in your pocket being indie. Do you want money or fame? Labels will help you get fame but that's about it at this point they expect you to do everything they are supposed to do before they sign you and if that's the case and I am already doing all of that work or have a team that does then wtf do I need them for? Screw labelsyeah this list shows that A&Rs basically demand that you do there job for them... but Honestly its for the better because if they chase you, then you have leverage.

True but he is not signed to a label. Distribution and being a label artist are two totally different things.Actually Macklemore isn't fully independent. That song was promoted by Warner Brothers, which helped it go to #1.
