They don't care about money, they care about there music not being diluted.

I respect that a lot. But what about they families? I'm pretty sure that they can make money on a major label, but not be forced into "selling out" and going "mainstream".

Actually people would be surprised how much you can make independent. Lots of indi artists make from 7-10 dollars per album whereas major label artists make like 1-2 if they're lucky. Sometimes it's less than that.

Oh I know that much, but I'm talkin' about pushing units and heavy promotion and what not. Something that a lot of indy artists lack.

True, but they can still make the same amount of money if they have a solid fanbase (like dp & many underground artists do).
Don Breezio:
yeah if you look at a lot of the more underground artists they arent as 'poor' as they sound...once word gets out that they are good it all goes up hill
SGV:
If you think cats on Indi's are broke, go to the South. Lil Flip, Master P, Baby, etc all were balling before they were major. dp has a following and a fan base. They're gonna sell consistent regardless.
kottonmouthninja:
dont they hate white people or something? i dont know much about them so educate me, and also they are stupid for not takeing those deals they could atleast drop one album and then never talk to them again, im sure they wouldnt mind alot of money i mean you know how many rappers would die for a chance to sign to one of those lables? anyways someone educate me on them.
