People buy accounts at services that generate money to owner of the music :why:

And rap shows are bigger and more expensive than ever. Went from big legends at the Apollo to random artists at the garden
It still doesn't invalidate his point. Music itself doesn't make money for artists anymore.

It does if they own the music.

Rappers in the 90s used to say they didn’t get a cent too.

They say stupid shyt like I have 50 million streams and only made 20k. 50 million streams equals 200k to the owner of the music and is approximately 30k sold. Which is more than those you get 50 cent per album sold that rappers used to say in the 90s.

You claim to like facts (although your posts don’t prove this) Google is readily available.

No it doesnt. Put it like this. If u owned the music in the past. U would get FAR more than u would EVER get right now by owning the music.
How would you compare.

1 million in streaming equivalent sales pays out 19 million on tidal and 6-7.5 million on Spotify and somewhere between in Apple. Now of course 1 million streaming equivalent sales is 1.5 billion streams, is that as easy/hard as selling 1 million physical back then? Perhaps not in the short run or if your shyt is trash.

I doubt that the owner of the music made anywhere close to what tidal pays, and is lucky maybe close to Spotify after paying physical distribution and production costs and paying Best Buy and other stores.

Again you can google everything instead of saying “my man said, so this is facts”, :snoop: no pun intended

nikka because the price of streaming service a whole month is less than the price of ONE CD back then. Thats how I know it's fukking as simple as that and also the fact that I'm on all streaming platforms as an artist.

What does that have to do with anything?

Are you saying that the average person bought 12 cds per year? And that the price one paid for a cd as what the owner of the music got. As if cds, logistics and Best Buy distribution was free :why:

The industry is breaking revenue records every year, of course, legacy acts get played but it still indicates that people spend more on music on average (or that there’s more people which is the same thing).

So if you are on all platforms then you know the payout splits. What you might not know is that every steam is not equally valued. Eg if you stream 300 or 300 million.

Number one. The Lox wasn't rich suburban kids. Jadakiss had a better life than Styles and Sheek hands down but even he wasn't rich. Styles and Sheek were far from rich. I know people who actually grew up wit these cats so there's that.

Man U wasting your time. Aint nobody from over here would ever even ? YO. The rep has been solidified.

50 said it on GRODT.


These guys just getting internet jokes off.
