M.O.P. leaves Dame Dash

This might sound like a stupid question, and it's something I've been wondering for a while, but how do these artists survive when they're on a label for so long without putting an album out or whatever? Do they get weekly/monthly wage from the company or something?

I know you get money for the concerts you perform at. They probably also got paid for their appearance on Damage Control. Other than that, I dunno though.

Concerts and mixtapes. Doing one show makes them probably $15,000 a piece, and they have put out a few CDs since the signed to Roc-a-fella only in the NY/New England area.

15,000??? MOP, by themselves would perform at a club that could hold 200 people at 20 bucks a person. thats 4000 bucks before any expenses. theyd be seeing a few hundred a show
