Yo.. that's pretty dope how you have a tradition every year of taking out a few weeks and listening to all their albums beginning to end till they get old. I don't have any tradition like that, but it's a good idea. My tradition in that regard is to play albums based on the season that they first came out.. here's a few of them...
Winter Time: Nas - God's Son album
Early Spring: Daz - Revenge Retaliation and Get Back
Late Spring: Warren G- Take A Look Over Your Shoulder
Summer Time: Warren G- G Fun Era, Dove Shack, The Twinz
Fall Season- Outkast - Stankonia, Dido - No Angel

lot of money with an indie project?!?!?!
you know you make more money with one cd sold independently than with one cd sold on a major record company right ?
that's the reason why a lot "big name", platinum artists are actually broke and signed their careers away to major labels while a lot of independent rappers are ballin.
-
that's right, but major made 500k+ from an album and an indie company max 100+/album.
-
lot of money with an indie project?!?!?!
Yes. If WB would release a project by himself, all profits would go to him.
Unless your name is Mariah Carey you will not make a lot of money as an artist on a major label.
-
unless your name is Ice Cube you won't make a lot of money as an artist on an indie label...

lol a lot of people are making shitloads of money independently... Mac Miller & Tech n9ne being the best examples. ICP, Odd Future too. It's way more advantageous for an artist to be on an independent label than on a major unless he has negotiated a good contract, which doesn't happen too often, especially nowadays with the 360 deals. If you sell 10k independently, you'll as much money as if you sell 100K on a major.

You don't know what you're talkin' about, for real.

SHIIT, that's an impressive roster! :D
-
honestly I like Wish but I don't think he could have carried an album by himself...it would have sold because Bone had a very large fanbase, speaking of I need to bump Flesh's first album again, underrated...

you're talking about Real Talk Entertainment, which is very different. I'm talking about being Independent in general. It's way more profitable for an artist to be independent than to sign on a major in general. Not in terms of career, but in terms of money. Some local rappers are richer than platinum selling artists.
Real Talk Entertainment is different, the label belongs to Big Hollis, and the artists that put out albums over there are not signed on the label, I'm pretty sure Big Hollis pays them a good amount of money, records the album with them and keeps most of the publishing rights. So that's a win win situation for them. Kinda like how you would pay someone for a featuring but instead you pay them for a whole album.
you should learn more about the independent game, cause it seems you don't have a clear idea of how it works. look up Wendy Day.
http://www.rapcoalition.org/Wendy%20Day.htm
One of Wendy's priorities is to consult with and help build regional and national independent urban record labels so hip hop artists can regain control of their own art form. Consistent with this goal, Ms Day has negotitaed some stellar distribution deals in urban music. She has played a part in Eminem's deal at Aftermath/Interscope, Master P's No Limit deal with Priority Records, Psycho Drama's deal at Suave House, DJ DMD's deal with Elektra, Fiend's deal with Ruff Ryders, UGK's renegotiation with Jive Records. She negotiated the incredible joint venture deal for Twista with Atlantic Records in 1996, which both The Source and Rap Pages magazines called "the best deal in the history of Black music," until she topped her own record with the now famous $30 million dollar deal for Cash Money Records with Universal. She focuses on complete control and ownership for the independent label in all of her deals. Master P was the first artist to keep control and ownership of 100% of his masters for No Limit. Cash Money is the only other label in urban music to own 100% of their masters, contrary to what the press says about Bad Boy, Death Row, Roc-A-Fella, and others. The money Wendy Day earns negotiating these deals goes immediately into Rap Coalition, and is solely what funds the not-for-profit Rap Coalition.

Ok, that's proof that indie/artist label can make good money, and the owner of the label (Master P from No limit for example), BUT as an artist?!
i'm not sure about that Snoop at no limit get MUCH better money, than Snoop on priority later.
