LOL...BWAAAAHHHAAAHHHHAAAAHAHHAHAH....LMAO!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Doing Corporate Law, In-house Counsel, M&A, Securities Law, Criminal Law for 30 years >>>> Being on Koch records for 5 years

You CANT be motherfuckin serious

what are y'all stupid being on koch now E1 better than be on a major that controls all the rights to ya music. You guys know so much but don't really know anything i guess you guys aren't doing entertainment law or copyright law.

 

[Maalik]

these guys might disagree...

Not that I care about this argument but...you gotta much better chance making it as a lawyer than you do as a rapper on Koch. Jim Jones & BG are two artists out of hundreds....

you only gonna be hot for a few years, might make $1-2 Million independent if you lucky & that's IT for life. For the next 40 years...you gotta invest & hope you dont run out. As a corporate lawyer in BIGLaw that graduated from a T-14.....you looking at $150,000 starting & a six-figure salary over the next 30 years.

Steady source of income >>>> Lump sum

 

[P. Town]

So niggas really out here checking for the new BG or Jim Jones track? Ok

B.G., yes...

 

[birdcallaveli]

smh at nobody caring about jimmy jones or b gizzle.

 

[ShencotheMC]

B.G., yes...

Really now? I didn't know that, thought he was washed, but alright

 

[kingofharts]

Wooow....reading this was crazy enjoyable.

I would just say that if Cole really did sign a 360 deal, then neither he nor the label would necessarily be in a rush to push out the album since they're both eating off his touring. Which he seems to be doing pretty well at.

Nigga....u really think Baby D & Big Noyd getting royalty money? You really think J.R. Writer got checks coming in? When the last time you been to see Kurupt or Larsiny Family perform live? Get it through your skull, rap is a hits business. If you dont become successful enough to generate 7-9 figures, you just gonna end up with ONE nice check & a few years of doing shows which WILL NOT pay for your retirement 50 years from now. You were better off becoming an Engineer. Niggas really think Crunchy Black got a 401k off this rap shit. Like O.J. the Juiceman making more than the average Doctor over the course of 20 years....SMH....Niggas on here is retarded as fuck.

Thank you...some of the most ignorant shit I have ever read was that nonsense about being a Rapper on Koch>>>>>>>Public Defender....

I could see if niggas said a successful rapper (e.g. Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne) >>> public defender. That makes sense. But the average rapper on Koch....LOL. Niggas must not have looked at Koch's artists. Trick-Trick or Sha-Stimuli (e.g. exactly LOL) is the average artist on Koch.

Now here I was thinking if I pointed out the concept of average twice, that it would prevent some simple minded fool from reaching. Like everybody caking on an indie label. If that was the case, why would anyone still sign to a major.

I guess everybody who opens up a hot dog and pork and bean restaurant gonna expand their franchise to McDonald's status also, huh.

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

the average salary of a public defender is 60 to 110k...a year.

after 20 years of work...

im sure jim jones and b.g. can see that after a month or two at the longest....

Well of course not everyone knows there is like 15 ways to make money off of music. Their are alot of misinformed people out their like yourself. Plus rappers since they are really self employed can put away a larger amount of money away in a Solo 401k,SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA than a regular 9 to 5ers can. Niggas just to stupid to do that plus you can get benefits from ASCAP.
