I read that he wasn't in the Run DMC contract. Also, artists weren't really making dough like that back in the day. We're talking about an era that artists used to brag about driving Audis. If you mentioned an Audi on a trap record today you'd get laughed off of socia media.
The tours didn't slow down, Run didn't want to tour. Run had a rich brother that set him up with a job in Phat Farm. Run also got into church and aligned himself with that crook Bishop Jordan so that was another stream of income. Steven Tyler said during the last year of Jay's life, Run DMC pulled off the tour and he offered them even more money so they could stay. Run didn't want to do it, but DMC and Jay did. I can't blame Run because he was in his late 30s and financially set. He was probably tired of touring. DMC and Jay needed the money though.
That's PART of the reason the tours slowed down
In what world are ki's of soft going for over $100k a piece??
You'd have to hand to hand every gram for a hundo and you'd still be three quarters of a million off smh.
These inflated estimations make it look crazy, it paints a picture that you're Pablo and the next thing you know you're jumping on 10 callender's like it's some kinda deal. Scust.
