Without Live Nation there would be no Roc Nation?

Basically, Live Nation is the Jew $$$ financing it

Those box office sales >>>> 150k, Live Nation gonna make sure they're making more money then Cole

Live Nation is the one taking the risks, putting up the $$$ and using their resources to make the show successful..

Cole isn't a "risk" with ticket sales, hasn't been for years now

Headlining his first arena tour is a risk..

Live Nation or AEG finances all the tours and have the same deals with Jay Z, Nicki, Chris Brown, Trey etc

But you blast Drake

Just because you didn't do massive jail bids or sold drugs or caught a body, don't mean that you never faced adversity.

Anytime you go OUT YOUR WAY to say something that can be perceived negative about someone on twitter/instagram.....its for malicious purposes

Meek didn't get asked "Hey Do you know if Drake writes his own rhymes...and what do you think about that??"

Stoo trying to parse a diss as being benign ....idiot

Cole is way more suburban white bread than Drake ever was.

Drake at least tells you ACTUAL stories that relate to ACTUAL emotions with ACTUAL women

J Cole couldn't get any more "project window" if he tried.

One writes his lyrics the other uses ghost writers and reference tracks... Can no longer compare Drake to Cole or K-Dot

Well thats the point. I used to work at a music venue. Here's how it goes:

-Live Nation pays the venue to rent the arena for certain amount of hrs. If the concert goes longer they have to pay the venue at a higher rate because that means more money the venue has to pay its staff workers.
- Live Nation has to pay insurance incase shyt happens and hiphop concerts have a higher insurance rate
-The venue pretty much makes its money from food and drink stands...and maybe 20-30% off of merchandise sales
- Live Nation has to market this concert to make sure they get the most tickets sales possible. Usually when they hit a little past that goal they say the show is "sold out". It would be hard for an artist to go on a country wide arena tour and have to promote it in every city it's in, even when they are not there.

Artist usually get a flat fee + % of merchandise.

Arenas cost a lot to rent.
