Nipsey Hussle selling first 1,000 hard copies of Crenshaw tape for $100.00 each

[blackrain]

money aint the only way to show appreciation or value... its art, no one owes u shit... u lucky to make a living doing what u love... u niggas too caught up in the business...

It's not the only way but it's the way to keep the rappers you like able to make music you enjoy. That's what so confusing about rap fans. Niggas will complain all day about the type of music they like not being made, then complain about paying for music in general as if the shit doesn't cost money to produce and put out.

Bullshit logic in this case... Ain't no one complaining about paying for music...

The argument is that u a dumbass if u pay $100 for some free shit...

That was in response to you saying niggas too caught up in the business. It's the music business, there's no way to not get caught up in it because that determines if you'll keep hearing the rappers you like or not

You niggas kill me with this broke nigga mentality. I dont care how much money ive got. Aint no way in hell im droppin a hunnid on a disc.

Nigga my pops would beat my ass if he found out and im a grown ass man.

Fuck outta here with that BS Nipsey.

All talk.

Niggas pay $70 for a floyd mayweather fight they can get for free.

Your bitch ass would pay $100 for the album if you had the chips and you were a stan, you just don't fit into those 2 categories.

Props to Nipsey for being a smart business man..

Niggas buy $250 jordans... $300 Lebrons... $250 call of duty limited edition games and shit... But if a NIGGA come up with the same strategy, niggas wanna bash it.

Fuck niggas stay broke.

Jay Z bought a copy......i guess broke niggas rather download it.

Nigga jay z can buy nipsey to perform the whole album in his living room.

So he brought cuz he has the money? Or he brought cuz he's willing to support great artist?

Nigga bought it because he can relate to short changing his fanbase telling em he had to dumb down for them and now he dont even need em to go plat. Well Nippsey better see if samsung gont slide him the money for all of his CDs in this recession. Thats a mighty expensive weed plate right there.

mixtapes drop everyday... nipsey made this an event...

*bumps who detached us*

 

[kingofharts]

I dig the move. What I don't understand is why he still feels like he has to give away free music at this point.

Guess the show money must be nice!

He should just do a one record indie deal like Kendrick had with Section.80 and Overly Dedicated. Sell for 10 a pop. Hell, even 5 for the struggling segment of your base.

With the social media #s he has, I'm pretty sure he could do >50k easy.

Pusha and Drake are signed to major labels...Those labels distributed and printed those tapes...This nigga did this himself...His clothing line is his...His concert revenue is his...Say he spent 5 dollars per hard copy...5,000 outta pocket plus the discounted ticket/shirt/hat...So, let's say he spent 10-12,000...He just turned that into 100,000 that is HIS...By selling directly to his fans off paypal and in person...In days...Nigga...That shit...Is amazing.

Now..Let's look at it from the fan perspective...

If he just sold this tape for 10, cool...Then let's say separately...The shirt was worth 20, the hat 30, and the concert ticket 30...And those are bargain prices...If you bought all the items separately you'd be spending 90 dollars...He only actually made 10 dollars off a 90 dollar discount package...Have you been cheated?

...and you're absolutely sure he made 100k? You either spoke to him or manage his Pay Pal account. Which one?

 

[YamoleySensei]

Does that Negro even have 1000 fans?
