this is one of the most entertaining things ive ever read on the internet. nice job shade 8).

You can get it digitally or purchase a DOD physical disc of it from: www.PutYourselfOut.net

as for sales, you are pretty much correct.. The majors will leave you with $1 a unit (what I got for II)..
Independently however, depending on the project, I can earn anywhere from $5 (minimum) to $9 (maximum)..

BTWBTH and NUNETIME brought us the most operational capital we ever seen in 2005 and then the
06.06.06 free release of "GTA3" caused a relapse in sales of both.. providing for the 2007 year.

The beauty of independent sales is that even years later.. you still collect that $5 a unit, not the typical $1..
so I can still promote an older release and end up with unexpected change just cause a new interview released or
somebody was talking about me in a store, on the forums (lmao) etc..  Majors stop promoting after a "cut-off" point..

Indie has no "cut-off"... Indie has no real rules, for that matter!

...and indeed the trick is to gain mainstream appeal and then go independent..
It is for this reason I am able to keep touring internationally while most other artists are stuck in their backyards!

PUT YOURSELF OUT.

I have answered this but it's all good..
This is Dr. Dre we are talking about.. so if you can't mention one you can't mention any!

a typical disclosure agreement lasts upwards 10 years.. just FYI..
Publishers commonly use them to protect publishing information..
in some instances you may receive a performance fee and sign a confidentiality agreement in return for your work.

man a lot of your fav. artists on the west (and PERIOD) are struggling to make ends meat in the industry right now...this guy is on his fucking grind why can't anyone respect someone's hustle...this guy is touring, making music, etc. ...  and making a living off of this shit...the guy has a lot of industry knowledge telling by his posts and just off knowing his past....man a few of you guys hating would be better trying to network with dude instead of trying to hate so hard lol

all i know is i'd sure like to be touring the world doing what i love and making cash...even if it was decent cash...

anyways...the guy is at least coming in the forums and providing us all with some entertainment....thats more than even some of my fav. artists who have more time to waste and are prolly making less money...lol

thanks mang!
