let me fill u in on something

to get a vinyl of a record pressed, it costs you like £25 maybe more, and the average vinyl will only sell for about 10-15 at the maximum.

1,000 copies of a CD costs about £650 to have pressed, printed, jewel cased and shrink wrapped, meaning if i work my arse off, and get to sell all of them(well not all as about 100 or more will be used for promotional uses) i can make the money back and make some to keep me living.

now thats only sellin for £3 per CD(around $5)

but that doesnt include costs for beats(which ive been lucky so far n been made them free) but theres 3 beats im having made costing me £100 each, then theres mastering costs of my tracks on top.... and costs for video for one of my tracks, works out at no profit at all in the end.

so yea, well done on attempting to be smart, but when somebodies in the game, you cant out smart them kid
