Socrates to properly awnser your question
 

First of all on major labels the new rule states artist get 8 dollars per cd album sold not including one track cds with the song, instrumental and accapella

and the rest of the money gets split between publishing, writing, studio and other shit

Oh, ok.

say what?????

i dunno about that one. The rapper would make more money than their label if that was the case, and that's definitely not gonna happen.

Nobody's in business to make you rich

Holy fucking shit NO!

lmao... maybe if you're lucky u will make about $1.25 per CD.

that is not true because most artist get 20%of all cds they sell
that means that if best buy decides to sell your cd for $10 when your usual price is 15
you only get 20% $10 but most cds sell for 15 that the average

so 15x 20% =$3 per cd but you have to take in acount coupons plus they will charge you studio time (hello why wouldnt they thats a way for them to make money ) and then there is promotion every magazine that your in aswell
all that shit u have to pay for

After all is said in done, the average recording artist on a major deal will make $1.25 per CD... if not less.

lockness and the other guy, uhh no man, you get about 15¢ per CD on a major. Jay Z owns half of Rocafella records and brings home 25¢ a CD and that's a record.

a dollar + per CD??


no way man, I wish
