wait...your not getting any money?...fuck that

Ysdat 09-24-06 03:11 AM

congrats bro.

Check your contract.. what does it say about royaltys? Are they signed to a major with a distribution deal? What have they signed there label as? A label or a person? Better check that bro, cause some labels sign people they see comign up just to shut them out, sounds weird but it happens.

Past Tense 09-24-06 03:52 AM

*edit

i took out the contract

it was here

KempoMRK 09-24-06 09:51 AM

Good shit man, well done. From what I read the contract looks alright, only problem is they own your music. But other than that, tiiight.

schema 09-24-06 02:00 PM

thats standard...plus it says he can buy all the rights to it for 3 grand...

The Jett 09-24-06 02:31 PM

PS:They have a way better set up and sound then me

Nynth Degree 09-25-06 04:26 PM

Let 'em provide you with massive amounts of drugs so you can go out and act in a violent manner, hopefully getting you more gangster cred in the process.

Like Death Row did with Big Lurch. :thumbup:

.Eternal. 09-25-06 04:31 PM

congrats mah ninja .

Phenom-in-all 09-25-06 05:11 PM

I never got cash to be on my label either - I was jus happy I was making music for real. And the money from shows and cd sales has been alot more than I thought it would ever be when I started, so looking back - a signing bonus wasn't no thing then, and it still isn't. Congrats man - get your paper.
