The label did great business.

You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, if you just know what you're getting into.

Like, I see these artists who catch these TikTok songs or whatever, and I'm like, why would you sign?

Like, I'm looking at Seduce right now for me, right?

Dog, I've made... I mean, it came out September 24th.

I've made...

200 grand off that you know what I'm saying I spent zero dollars on it we made it in my basement Capella pulled up to the studio you know what I'm saying it's like beat was 20k you feel me it's like you know it's like own your shit artists are getting so fucked with these royalty percentages they're getting 18% at best you know how crazy that is and here's the other thing that's crazy here's the other thing that's really crazy me and my boy were talking about it right

Music is one of the like, correct me if I'm wrong, if y'all can come up with something else, then go for it, please.

But what other product do you know that, besides movies, that...

The budget for it might be $250,000 to make the album.

You sell it for $14.

What other product is the cost of goods more than what you sell it for?

Like when I sell merch, right?

The t-shirt might cost $6 to make.

We sell it for $30.

If the t-shirt costs $30 to make, we wouldn't sell it for $2.

It's a losing game.

Music is like...

If you got to rent studio time, you might spend $2,400 in the studio for a 12-hour, 24-hour session, four grand to mix and master, you're 6K deep, 20K for the beat, 10K, whatever.
