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.

that line trips me out cuz 50 cent got signed to interscope for 1mil and drake got signed to universal for 2...kutt got signed to a back then almost unknown independent rap label for 6 mil?? I havent heard da song in hella long but i think he was rappin bout rumors that were goin on
Mike Howard said: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
A-Mac said: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?

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.
