Says Em gets paid 18% for his physical sales. I was just thinking, man, that isn't a fucking lot at all. When you consider it's TOTALLY HIS work. I mean, artistically...

I mean, not just Em but any true artist. To consider they're basically the sole creator of this 'product' which gets put on the shelves, to think they only get around 18%. Terrible.

Yeah, don't they pay for all his beats and collabs and shit.

Yeah but on the flip side because Em is on a label he puts in very little to no money on said product. Hence why he only makes said amount.

yep, if he wanted all the money, he must go indie, but then he must pay producers, promos... all himself. It's the same

Ah yeah well actually the promotion must be huge.

Plus he's now the kind of rich where it's no longer worthy of keeping track lmao. It's pie in the skie money, so it's freedom all the same.

Doesn't he have like 130 million in the bank?

[Emadyville]

18% is a lot for an artist isn't it?

[XLJ]

Em is worth around 150-170 million lol he is fine fiancially. Most artist dont make much off the albums. They make there money on tours, endorsements and owning record label etc. Em made a lot of money off 50.

[slimsoxshady]

for an average of $12 per album
5 mill sold worldwide = .18 * 12 * 5,000,000 = $10.8 mill

i think he's doin just fine lol

[slicknickshady]

18% is dang good. Artists are usually lucky if they make $1.00 per album sold.

Tell Eminem to go independent, then he will make more money.

I knew it

[deaneedog]

Fuck yes %18 is an awful lot . Surprised he gets that much if its true. Think about it Recovery took like 1 year and has sold 4 million worldwide. They probably make like $10 per album thats $1.80 per album in his bank. Times that by 4 million = 7.2M For one years work
