Up in Smoke Tour brought Dr. Dre $40 million, that same year U2 and Madonna cleared $60 million - there's no stopping a true artist

touring and that x factor money.

exactly, touring is where you really make your money at. Artists who release albums on major labels don't make much of them. Money for videos, beats, features, everyone getting a cut of the sales, when the artist finally sees the check from the album they gonna be like :wtf: :why:


I remember Snoop saying he will make millions for life just touring of his old shyt

plus cacs love snoop as much as black folk, and it's the new generation too, they discover his old shyt for the first time then they hooked for life, then Snoop performs gin n juice, aint no fun.... all over again to the new gen of fans. Doesn't matter if his new shyt all flops when you have as many classics as he does

Until Educators, etc. generate the revenue entertainment figures do that's a naive POV

These guys are only getting a piece of their pie just like any other occupation

what is a man's worth? is his worth in how much revenue he generates? or is it how valuable he is to society? i say the latter dude. if every right-wing radio show pundit and dre beats headphones manufacturer decided to leave post for good what would happen to the world? if all of US defense forces and educators decide to leave post for good what would happen to the world? f*cking ANARCHY! haha. i see what you sayin, that's the way it is, but it's not right.. and, let me just remind u, there are plenty of athletes/entertainers who nobody cares about that are multimillionaires bro.

Didn't say it was right, but once again where are you supposed to find the money to pay evey professor a million like you pay damn near every basketball player a million

Anybody equating self worth with money lost anyway

maybe from the damn near TRILLION dollars that the government pours into the educational system every 365 days? i'm sure you could find it in there somewhere bro, ha, it's a start.. the government spends 10-15k yearly to send a child to a public school full of second tier bottom of the barrel teachers, because the sensible intellectuals who were probably born to teach don't want to pursue a career that requires so much effort for so little reward. those would-be teachers probably became benchwarmers in the league who nobody knows, now happily part of the 1%. :smile:

oh, and "every professor" doesn't deserve big money. this goes back to my original point, you earn what you deserve. a naive concept? yes, but the right concept..

Anarchy would happen if we didn't have an overpriced military and an inefficient education system? You're brain washed
