Exactly...He has dance singles that usually gets picked up by movies and you know that means $$$$$$$$$$$$

doesn't mean much if the artist doesn't own the mechanical or performance rights to the song [royalties]

Im sure he owns both. Its so much money to be made in video games/ movies etc. Even if you get 5% its still A LOT of money that you will be seeing.

And there you have it.

This is a epic fail...dude has 3 huge singles with pop artist, and was on probably the biggest tour of this year so far

1. Can't Believe It ft. Lil' Wayne
2. Chopped & Skrewed ft. Ludacris
3. Freeze ft. Chris Brown

and barely going gold...

This dude does nothing but sell records for other people

Its not a fail. Pain said he'd go gold. So with that being said, Jive must've felt the same way and only shipped minimal amounts of albums. I'm shocked he went Gold. I could've sworn he was at 200k some weeks ago. This is the gift and the curse of having huge singles. People just cop the singles and digital downloads for .99 cents. They'll just cop all of your singles since it will be cheaper. Flo Rida is the same way.

He doing pretty good when you consider the fact that everybody stopped playing "Freeze" in feb. when Chris Brown got in trouble.

If he doesn't, the music industry is dead.

A lot of rappers getting lousy deals now-a-days. Hope dude isn't one of them because mechanical and sync royalties will have him set.

What are you talking about? Nobody can sell right now.

finessesosa · Apr 12, 2009

honestly i don't think rappers care about sales anymore.they shouldn't, there's so many other alleys to get money in.

nowadays its just for the sake of their "core fans" picking it up

joegalvan · Apr 12, 2009
