Who's a bigger crew in Hip Hop right now? YMCMB is the only one I can think of otherwise. Beside that, look how popular Kendrick and his crew are right now
nah, i think iggy got that white girl and gay dude cult following.

Iggy should have sold more given how mainstream pop she is. For her thats a low number

Yes YMCMB, is way bigger and so is Maybach.
I honestly never heard this bytch song on the radio. I said this in another thread but white bytches don't like rap like that and gays listen to nikki
schoolboy q sold 135k first week and he barely gets radio play, asap ferg sold 35k first week with no prior material out and work and shabba didnt chart higher than 30 on the U.S RAP&R&B charts.
she has that song Fancy at number 18 right now on the U.S billboard charts, its number 1 on the rap billboard charts and number 5 in the UK, shes had a few songs chart in the UK.
and you dont need tons of radio play to gain a decent lil cult following.
i dont even like her but its believable she actually sold that much and it wasnt def jam buying her shyt.

you forgot about that good ole 360. Future prolly getting 40k-50k a show.....What % of this does the label get? Throw in single sales. Honest peaked at 55 on hot 100, move dat dope currently at 60. Single sales for those, plus spotify and pandora money and that's easily another 200k minimum
Yeah man you right, I totally forgot about the 360. Now everything makes a lot more sense as far as the label making their investment. Now I gotta do my research on what typical 360 terms are like to really make sense of the numbers.
EDIT: so it looks like the Label gets 10% of touring after expenses, and 10% of any other type of income like merchandising, etc...
Future is about to go out on a 45 date tour to support the album, so if he's doing 50k a show that's $2.25 million gross (honestly I think that's a bit high). Then you have to deduct expenses, like travel, hotel, staff, stage props, etc... I'd say we're looking at least a million + in expenses. So say he walks away with 1.2 million from the tour, the label takes $120,000 from the tour.
So the question is this: how much does the label want to make on a project to consider it a success? If they spent 400-500k on future, if they make back 750k are they happy, or do they want to double up and hit a mil? Based of my rough estimates, Future still has a uphill battle to recoup, but if his album can get up to 100k units and his tour is successful, and say there's some other revenues we don't know about it seems the label will be in that 750k-900k range... Not bad I guess

@ Maybach being a bigger crew than TDE. If you add up the sales of the last 3 releases from Maybach you're still not at Kendrick's first solo album. If you take out Ross, all the sales of everything else theyve released wouldn't reach GKMC.
yall kill me with all these "profit and show money" numbers y'all just put out there. lol
hilarious...
Camron is real winner out of all this. If he can produce enough capes for all these rap nyggas fans, he should top Forbes next year

This is basically how Flo Rida is eating these days. His albums sale like Future's just did, but he has single hits for days and his label seems more than happy with him.
