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.

I thinkin it was biancas n
Biatrices when Kutt talks about signing to strange for 5 or 6 mil.

JJ diaz said:
well that depends how much they sell.. id like to think that they get da same amount for each album sold and merch too...but obviously they not gon b making da VP money...in da end though its probably Trav da makes da most.. if there was no trav thered be no strange music

So then that leads me to the question, I wonder how much of a cut the likes of Lynch, Kutt, Kali, Jay, and Scoob receive per album/merchandise sold?

I don't know why Roca Wear is being compared to Tech N9ne Merch, there 2 different things on is a clothing line and one is a merch line. People that don't listen to Jay z wear it, but do people that don't listen to Tech wear shirts with his name?

 

Also there is someone who fucks with Tech in the merch game, and it's ICP say what you will about there music but go to one of there shows and you will see who sells more merch.

does tech really sell 5 g's every half hour. cuz that would be like 80 mil a year?

SCENARIO said:
Umm you might wanna take another listen to that interview there buddy. Trav made his millions in the furniture game n met tech thru a clothing line later on that wasnt as successful. But he did learn alot about clothing production and got a million ideas..lol

Deff not. Lol. I've always seen that line as just a bragging point by Tech to show he doesn't know how much he makes from merchandising but still gets payed, since the song is about people sitting on their ass crying about others, Tech can sit on his and make a healthy income off merch lol.

i know what kutt calhoun line yaw talkin about..if im not mistaken he saids "heard he got signed for 5 or 6 million" it was sayin what ppl are just sayin when they talk about him and stuff. like how ppl see u come up and they say all kinds of things about u..when u get to something better than what u was doing or what they doing. because if he signed for 5 or 6 million..i highly doubt he'd make that song sayin SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE.. lol when he sayin his fam and him need the ppl to buy the records!
You're a fag nobody cares about ICP whether its their music or their merchandise or if their a gang or anything.  The only people that are gonna buy ICP shit are juggalos whereas like people stated before plenty of people wear Rocawear that don't know about Jay-Z and even with tech i'm sure there are people who buy his merch cuz they like the music but aren't necessarily technicians or follow him a lot.  All i'm trying to say is a "juggalo," whatever that is, is gonna buy ICP shit whether they like the music or not lol.
