I remember when Howard Stern and Em were both launching their stations on Satellite radio around the same time mid 2000's. Only difference is that Howards earnings were made public but there isnt much out there about Ems earnings. There isn't even a Wiki page which I believe was done on purpose. I'm assuming its because Shade45s success would really look like another case of the whiteman eating off of Black culture yet again. Tho I cant front, irregardless of Em being a respectable emcee and still being a big deal in the mid 2000's, it did look kind of off that such a platform would go to Em first and not someone like a Funk Master Flex or a P Diddy (Thats why I feel that on the low Diddy had to do something to counter Shade45's success and the end result was Revolt TV). And Shade45 is still popular till this very second. I doubt Em got anything close to what Howard was getting annually but i wouldnt be suprised if it was around that range. Not counting that mans money like that but as popular as the station is, I do respect how there is little info out there about how much Em gets for Shade45. Its one of the best examples of "Quiet Money."
