So independent albums don't flop???...are you kidding me???....."oh i sold 15k but I'm on a independent so it's ok"....

.....think the world works like that bruh's....
yes the world thinks like this
it's called business
if you spend 100 million, making back 101 million isn't shyt
if you spend 30 million, making back 101 million is fukking amazing
being indy = putting less money and resources into your album
therefore you are expected to sell less.. and you're also making more cause you spent less
so jay-z doing 80k with a 5 million dollar budget is a lot different than me doing 80k and i spent 10k on mine
