I don’t know his deal seems like he doesn’t own his publishing. That’s not bad money though.

That’s $108,000 a year off just one streaming platform you also have Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, YouTube, Amazon so if he did he’d be looking at a quarter mil at least yearly.

Wu-Tang also does 5.6M monthly so he’d get his cut from there for the songs he performed on.

I don’t know his deal but he questioned where some young rappers were getting $ from some of them stream so much they get a nice check even after splits.

WHAT PART DONT YOU UNDERSTAND
ABOUT SPLITS?

METH WASNT A INDEPENDENT ARTIST.
90% OF THE 9K GOES TO THE LABEL FIRST...

THEN THE LABEL TAKES THEIR RECOUP SHARE
FROM HIS 10% OF THE 9K.


RAPPERS TOLD YALL FOR DECADES
THEY MADE THEIR MONEY FROM
TOURING NOT RECORDS SALES
WHICH IS WHY LABELS CAME UP
WITH THE 360 DEAL.



:devil:
:evil:

I hope he wasn't serious

I hear you on not believing certain ppl.

But Method Man is known to speak in facts with integrity.

I believe him. He probably got some money, but not huge money.

A lot of those artist from that era selling their masters. I don’t see Meth touring at this point as a solo artist. I know the Wu just toured last year and he wasn’t present. I guess he has other streams of income or invested his money:yeshrug:

He's a full time actor who raps on the side. It's worked well for LL, Ice T, and Will Smith.

He had acting commitments. He made the shows he was free for. I saw him in DC.
