Random question/thought..

 

We know how major lable deals sap all the money out of artists record sales, how much percentage of his record sales does Tech get to keep? Any ideas? I wan't to say 100% but I'm thinking Trav would get a cut? Could be wrong.

 

Randomly got the thought when listening to Immortal Technique, the dude makes a fuckload of money and doesnt sell as much as Tech, so it got me thinking about how loaded Tech must be after he drops an album, plus relentless touring.

 

Immortal Tech:

"100% independant I'm the fuckin' boss, I sold 80,000 off a quotable in The Source,
The hood is not stupid, we know the mathematics,
I made double what I would going Gold on Atlantic."

 

"And that's the reason that I only trust my fam,
40,000 records sold, 400 grand,
Fuck a middle man, I won't pay anyone else,
I'll bootleg it and sell it to the streets my self"

 

With that being said, Tech must be killing it in the bank every record drop.

Major labels, depending on the deal, leave an artist with between .50 - $2.00 an album.

And a few cents per single.

So most artists only make 500k going platinum.

Eh.. food for thought.

Id imagine tech n trav get a small cut from every record sale on the label, whether its scoob, kutt, kaliko...etc..  anyone agree??    *even though it probably goes right back into the label
I thinkin it was biancas n
Biatrices when Kutt talks about signing to strange for 5 or 6 mil.

yea true that but u gota give big ups to trav cuz he paid to get tech out if all dat legal bullshit he got into with da other record lables..i think a lot of people wulda looked at techs situation and said good luck with that buddy...but fuck it.it doesnt matter, we got strange music!
Siikez said:
I wouldn't say that much, Tech and Trav are equal, without one of them Strange would fall apart in particular areas. Tech would make a bigger impact if he was to be taken from the equation. Trav's the business machine, but I think if Tech needed to, he could use what he's learnt from Trav to keep Strange movin'. But Trav can't pick up a mic and rip it if Tech left LOL. Though I'd like to see Trav on the mic, Lol!!
