Quote from: Jrome The Damaja on January 19, 2006, 05:51:33 PMHis comment about going platinum is so true. Who gives a fuck if you sold 3 million albums, especially if you're only seeing pennies on the dollar from it. Record sales don't mean shit. If you're independant, you can sell 100,000 and make as much or more as some of these artists on a major pushin platinum. Yeah, like Tha Eastsidaz...their first album went Platinum and the second one went Gold, and all Tray Deee and Goldie Loc received were Dogghouse chains and $40,000 cash.I'm willing to bet that most of the wealthiest thugs in the game right now are the independent cats selling a tenth what these mainstream rappers are selling. Especially in the bay...look how well E-40 and JT have done all by themselves, even though they've been on major labels at different times.

One of the South's hottest emcees and one of the illest from NY on Cube's album... NICE! Finally, an old Rapper with sense.
