What's really the point of starting a vanity label if an artist is still signed to a major record label? I just don't get the point in all of this?
Okay, I will just list down a few important vanity label objectives below:
- to give an A-list recording artist more creative control so that they won't think too much about leaving a major record label to start their own organization.
- some (but not all) A-list recording artists have good business acumen hence a vanity label can bring more profits to a major record label when they sign new artists.
In other words, are y'all saying vanity labels are just a way of funneling money to the top using the clout of an A-list musician?

What you pointed out is partially correct except other artists on an imprint or vanity label can sometimes surpass the clout of an A-list recording artist who established it.
For example, Drake vs Lil Wayne (Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records).

Isn't Young Money Entertainment just an imprint?

So what exactly is an imprint record label and whilst on that can y'all oans also define what is a vanity record company?
