Tyga Exposes YMCMB 'I never got a check from them...EVER"

[Mac Casper]

Record Label Accounting


Advance Budget: $700K


*album sells 750,000 copies, 1 million in singles*


Gross Revenue: $11 per album ($8.25MM); $1 per single ($1MM); $9.25MM total

*let's say the label takes home 70%, distributors/retailers take 30%*


Revenue: $6.475MM (don't know the tax structure, won't get into it)


Artist Royalties: $0.40 for every album sold x 750K albums = $300K


*$300K (royalties) - $700K (initial budget) = -$400K (you still owe despite the $6.5MM you earned in total )

"Hey hard working man, I see you've earned a lot of money over there . . let me ACcount it for you"

at selling 400,000 albums and not recouping your budget. Rack City alone sold 2 million singles. Where did all that money go? How much do you think Baby really spent on this kid's project? These guys over at Cash Money aren't oblivious to the music climate. They're very good at their job....they're not gonna put 5 million dollars into Tyga's album knowing he wont move more than gold. They probably spent less than 500K.

the rack city video alone was probably close too that
they spent more than 500k

Why do people always assume that every rapper on the radio is eating good off of show money? Do you even know how show money works?

If you think any rapper is seeing more than 50% off of their show money unless they own their own touring/management company, then you will be sadly mistaken.

Doing 100 shows a year doesn't mean that you got money. By any means. And depending on his deal, they could be using his show money to recoup his advance. And you act like his albums don't be loaded with features and high end production.

But go ahead, you keep believing that doing shows every night while performing average sales wise on a major means you got hella bread.

What can I say? nikkas standards are getting lower and lower. 10 years ago, cats wanted that endorsement money, shoe money, clothing money, record label money. Now they happy with watered down show money and some nasty ass bytches.

The bold is exactly how it works, it's not restricted to Birdman. But again this is how it's been since the inception of the music biz, shyt it probably was worse back then. Its artists back then that went Diamond (TLC) that aint got shyt to show for it.

With all this "I'm getting money" shyt going on, standards got lowered. Back then, cats wanted a piece of the pie and showed some business sense. Now, they happy with show money and nasty ass bytches that are porn rejects. Tyga, for example, is happy wifing up a stripper. A stripper. Back a decade ago, if you wifed a stripper, cats clowned you to oblivion. Now, you get props. In terms of standards, this is ass backwards. Tricking ass nikkas are getting burn and props now.

Every contracts has the exact amount of albums you need to sell in order to re-coup...

But this is Cash Money we're talking about... & they have a history of not cutting checks...

 

[wingzboy]

Exposes? Cash Money doing their artists dirty is something everybody knows about. The fact that its largely ignored and people keep signing with them is the mindboggling part. Its even worse when you see Birdman flaunting his new whips and shyt while have of his artists hadn't seen a check in years....

I'm sure they take care of Lil wayne, Drake and Nicki Manaj but I'm sure the rest of their artists get the treatment....

They do. But over at Cash Money, that number is ridiculously high.

Tyga hasn't even sold 500k worth of albums yet and he's 2 albums in already. That's 2 album budgets, 2 sets of production, 2 promotional budgets, 2 everything.

Tyga gonna be performing at Sweet 16's along with janitorial and butler work at Cash Money offices until he's 40 to make that money back.

I mean i knew they were stingy hence mannie fresh,juvie,bg and countless others leaving but man not paying one of your biggest stars.

fresh prolly the only one who didnt get paid..

juvie got paid....alot of his money got garnished kuz of all the kids the nikka got...look how many times he left n came back...if it was that bad why come back??



bg a junkie...like all fiends after they come down off their high...they wonder where the money at...

if im beatrice n slim..and i know i got a junkie on my team...u think ima give em everything n let em shoot it up....or give em some..n the other in drugs...

mannie the only one who got fukked imo...them other 2 had addictions( raw doggin groupies and narcotics)....

it took fresh how many yrs to grow some eyebrows and raise ??

if it wasnt 4 jazze pha comin in...mannie would still be there...

it was cheaper to keep fresh...look at how many albums it was nuthin but him on ..jus like with beats by the pound......the ppl snoop brought in with him...


made them aware that they was worth more than wha they was gettin...


dr dre was the same way til cube n suge got in his ear...
