Uhm, not trying to kick off the "profit" discussion again Lunatic, but I have to agree with everybody who criticized what you said. Nobody said you are wrong, but the way you talk makes it seem like you KNOW, when you really have no clue and are assuming based on what you think makes sense.Oh and I can see all those guest appearances being done for free, but you do realize that as long as an album hasn't recouped all the marketing/promotion costs, it is not making profit? If you press up 3000 cds yourself and sell them out the trunk, then yeah, you're making profit. Buzt there's a whole team involved here, they filmed 2 videos, they had the KCNN episodes, etc. Again, I have no idea how much money was or wasn't made, but neither do you, which is why people jumped on you for your comment.

Anyway, unless the album cost $0.00 to make, there was not a profit of anything.The only people that should care about sales are the people with a financial interest in the work. If not, who cares.

I just see comments from people saying wow who are the 3000 idiots that bought that album and shit like that. If I dig the artists and their music, I support them and buy the album. Simple as that.
