What Magna Carta taught us

[T-K-G]

He sold a million digital copies of an album to a phone company, making it so the album had no chance of leaking before he could sell it or release it because he sold them before he even released it, and in the process made the major labels take a back seat to distribute the album. It's a common belief that artists get like $2-3 an album tops from the major labels, he got $5 from a phone company for something that technically didn't even physically exist and that ended up leaking almost immediately after Samsung users got it anyway. Not sure if he got the whole $5 million but either way he's completely altered the way major artists will at least consider promoting and distributing their albums in the future. I know some people have named other artists that have done something similar but it wasn't this exactly, nor was it on this large of a platform for the entire world of hip-hop, entertainment, and pop culture, at the very least, to see. That's something new that I've taken from it.

that's not a new rule, that's a one time gimmick that jay-z got away with

give me a RULE

...That this album is all hype....J. Cole, Joey Bada$$, and Mac Miller dropped better albums.

...That I'm more interested in Jay-Z, the sports agent.

I've been thinking about this as well, someone " @ big business" Idk how to do .
Is there some server that can be hacked?

Obviously these are the spots, although the pic is old I would assume the same rule applies. Question is like you say, what incentives do you have to share it with the world when you could get caught doing it. Pay a big ass fine and maybe do some time.

so where does @big business come into play
