it's all about your paperwork.. people saying this couldn't happen.. do you know if he owned his publishing.. or what his cut of his album sales was... or what his ringtone money was... how much he was getting on tour.. how much he's getting now.. features.. and remember this is all before 360 deals.. so the label wasn't touching none of that ringtone money.. do you know what stocks he invested in? what savings plan? what other businesses he bought? what real estate he flipped?
i say this cause these listing people never know that shyt.. and neither do we.. really neither does the IRS.. A LOT OF TIMES, artists ask for money in cash, so there's no receipts or paperwork saying they made the money.. i remember fat joe had rza produce a song and rza said he needed it all in cash for taxes
