Rappers get popular on the internet, folks come to their shows, merch gets sold, artists get paid.

It's why 360 deals exist.

Hell, imagine if Q got booked for 15 shows over 3 months to perform his "hot" single, at even 5,000 per show.

That's a quarter mil.


Label may see none of that.

Why would an artist complain about record sales?

Age of the Record Label is dead.

We all know at this point that artists get money off shows and endorsements unless they're independent and get all proceeds from sales minus album pressing and paying for artwork.

Ain't nobody trying to sell albums now. It's all views and streams.

Only a label would complain about "record sales".
Quarter milli?

ive never bought a single in my life, because its on the album i plan to support. never really understood it then, def dont make sense now

dudes in here still asking for Ab, stop :russ: dudes a brick layer with a very small following. him and Jay Rock probably dont make the company any money at all

its a shame they are slowing Rashad's career down, Q gonna drop regardless he went #1 last time. but i fear they will stall on IR's career because hes never gonna do big numbers
