Who said rap artists make mad loot? Incorrect! Because the fans expect their favorite artists to be crazy compensated and living large, this sets an amazing amount of pressure on the performers to appear wealthy. And it is not just the followers; the business slobs have expected the artists to get the dinner check. There have been times people cop an attitude if the artist does not pay for everything. This is small minded and badly informed because the artist is definitely the last to get paid. Everybody receives their cut first: the label, the manager, the lawyer, the accountants, and, of course, the IRS.
Sadly, when an artist gets signed to a label package, particularly a rap artist, he or she receives somewhere between 8% to 13% of the retail sales price, after the record label recoups the cash it puts out (the advance, the sample clearances, the producer advances, usually 50% the cost of any videos, any cash outlays for the artists, etc.). The artist has to sell units to make any money back.
So it is not totally impossible. Performance royalties are cash that is paid for the performance of your track. The money is paid primarily based on the proportion of ownership of the song. So if you own 100% of the song, you get the complete check. If you own merely the music, which is half the song, then you get half the cash. If you own the music with a sample in it that claims 50% the track, then you get a check for 25%. Performance Rights businesses consist of ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC (which is still quite small). They police the radio stations, night clubs, concert events, etc (any place music is played or broadcast), all of whom pay a fee to play the music which the performance rights organizations collect and split amongst their members in line with the amount of times a record is played. Although the formulas change annually based on play, a Top 10 song performed on commercial radio can earn an excellent chunk of change in the tens of thousands of dollars range.
So there you have it, the real thing on how much money an artist tends to make. You can subtract out now another 28% to 50% of all income, such as show money, (depending on the artist's tax bracket which is determined by just how much income was created within any given calendar year) for the IRS who receive money quarterly (hopefully) by the artist's accountants. If the average artist produces a record every couple of years, then this income must last two times as long.
Once rap artists launch a record, the pressure is on to portray a successful image to fans, friends, families, and people around the way. Individuals expect the performers to be well dressed, drive an expensive car, etc. Consider it. Don't you expect artists "to look like artists?" Would you admire Jay-Z as much if he drove a busted old 1990 Grand Am instead of that beautiful, brand new, top of the line Bentley?
