Artists need to start creating sites and selling their music directly. Because I keep trying to tell people. Streaming isn’t real. That isn’t sales. The main people who get money from these deals are the label and the streaming service. There’s no way streaming can equal a sale when u get unlimited access to music for the price of one album. lol.

I think Roc and Alchemist made like 50k in a day just selling out the vinyl for their album. Surprised more artists don't go with a direct to consumer model.
Most artists are just trying to create art, or have plays set up for them, ESPECIALLY the ones who came up with a label doing everything for them. These guys for the most part aren’t hustlers or businessmen like that.

This is why I be telling these clowns to stop celebrating these artist streams and acting like they are the same as Album sales

Music sales these days are super inflated becuz they count these bullshyt ass streams. Drake fans be using this shyt alot to act like he be selling way more than he actually is

And the artist ain't even getting that much money off of it

How does the money compare to internet streams? Like, how much money does a billion radio spins translate to?

IDK WHAT THE RATES ARE
BUT I HEARD IT WAS A FEW CENTS PER PLAY.

I DO KNOW SONGS GET PAY BONUSES
IF THEY GET 95K PLAYS
IN A QUARTER AND THE MORE PLAYS
THE HIGHER THE BONUS
ON TOP OF WHAT THEY WOULD
NORMALLY RECIEVE.

:devil:
:evil:

Sounds right.

I remember some artists saying they only get pennies for streams

I think it's great Snoop did this.

Facts are important.

Alot of rappers fronting like they have 3m in cash but don't are gonna have to deal with this truth. If Snoop only profits that off streams with millions of followers, these other rappers aren't popping like that.
