how much exactly does touring get an artist though? when these artist play 2k capacity clubs how much do you really think they are making?

Tyga does bigger shows/anchors tours also. He probably takes home a couple mill a year when every bite out of it is taken. I don't think Ace is seeing that.

:stopitslime:

You can't tour forever....

that's why it's IMPORTANT to have your PUBLISHING..that's a check for life

now i see why that "ROLEX" just decided to WALK OFF THE CLIFF of ace hood's wrist...cause he ain't wanted to be associated with that dumb a$$ fukk nicca

talking that "i ain't even looking for the (advance)..i'm just thier for loyalty"

:comeon:

oh okay...............see if your new landlord accept LOYALTY as payment...

talking that me and Khaled are riding for life..we get money together..SMH

Negro please..........

just like Charlemagne said....."i bet Khaled GOT YOUR ADAVANCE" :russ:


see this is why DIDDY, BIRDMAN and others continue to EAT....cause thier is always some another DUMB FUKK born to feed them.... :salute:

You can tour forever if you're that good of an artist. Tyga nor Ace is, I was just saying that their situations ain't exactly the same when compared cause Tyga is bigger artist than Ace so FOR NOW he'll be aight. You right though neither of them in good situations.

Yes, was impressed with his humility and sense, that said...I thought he was going to explain/elaborate on his record deal situation not just move past and not explain shyt about why he doesn't get advances or royalties....

Assuming they're not just forever lodged in the bushes, he's not gonna see royalties for an album that drops today for like a year regardless...that's assuming he recoups, i'd be shocked if he sells 50k first week so it'd be no shock if he didn't....getting no advance (which ain't shyt but a loan drawn against earnings on the back end) helps with that, but who knows....that accounting takes time...khaled no doubt prolly owns a nice portion of his publishing, but if he retained some of it he should get publishing checks from radio play before any royalties owed get distributed

I know royalties are a long term thing, and I get he may not see them for a minute, but it was just that he didn't try to clarify any of the business dealings, giving credence to the 'bushes' theory, and why these dudes need to be more financially/business savvy.

How does a rapper or producer get their publishing tho?

By not selling it or giving it away. The part of a song you create (lyrics, beat, arrangement, chorus, etc) is your percentage of the song or your publishing. By keeping it & not selling it (as many artists do for various reasons) you can still earn money from your music being played for years after it came out

Tyga is doing Rock The Bells and POWERHOUSE size shows all over the country.

I feel bad for Ace Hood. Even worse for anyone who actually thought Ace Hood had a Bugatti, the watch was worth what he said, and that all rappers have big money.

Yeah, that's one thing nikkas need to drop. That nikka mos def got a real rolex.
How could he even get away with rocking a fugazi when nikkas in his video got 100k on they wrist. Ross, Wayne bird man etc

And Tpain is a clown for announcing on radio it's his Bugatti.

He thought it was gonna be a struggle single. And then got salty when it became one of the biggest records if the year.:aicmon:

60k could have been flipped into 160k if done right, but nikkas gotta stunt. 5 years from now he's gonna wish he had 60 bucks.
