God's Plan

Republic, under Universal. He shrugs at his own success, and still spends the record on himself.

Republic released it. Universal owns Republic. The line people repeat is that the result was not his scheme. The rest of the record is still a tour of what the scheme bought.

Hear the one true sentence. Do not let the shrug become a way to avoid thanks, or a way to avoid the bill.

24K Magic

Atlantic, under Warner. The band is serious. The sermon is spend it, flash it, repeat.

Atlantic released it, inside Warner. If you listen only to the players, you hear people who know their instruments. If you listen to the words, you hear a pile of money being waved so the room will look.

Keep the standard for the playing. Do not keep the standard for the wave.

The playing could be handed on. The boast should not be.

Live historicallyThe next time it comes on, name one player you can hear, and one boast the house does not need.
