I've never understood the whole beef/jealousy issues on Strange but then again I don't know the behind the scene happenings. It's Tech's label, he's the headliner and main act, he's the best rapper, they are his sold out shows, they are his fans who more than likely only know about you because of him, he's the one selling records, he's the one with massive pre-orders, he's the one selling a shit load of merchandise, he's the one working with major artists and getting praise from them, and the bottom line is he's the one who is priority number #1. Granted the other artists deserve promotion, etc, I get that, but it's obvious that someone like Snug Brim isn't going to get the same treatment as Tech does. Day 1 homies mean something but it doesn't mean you get a hand out or are deserving of anything just because. Make a name from yourself and grow a fan base. Make your own money, sell out your own shows, make good music and appeal to fans. Easier said than done, right? I like Skat, Snug and Kutt but I highly doubt they will ever be in the public eye again at the level they were when they were signed with Strange. It's not that hard of a concept to understand.
Tech didn't have to put Krizz Kaliko on his song with Eminem, but he did. I find that to be a huge gesture and a sign of respect to Krizz for being (in my opinion) the #2 guy on Strange and being Tech's wingman. I personally think that Rittz is easily the second best rapper on the label but Krizz is an amazing all around talent and I'm sure he's making pretty decent money.
I remember on Absolute Power, Kutt had a line on Bianca's and Beatrice's talking about himself that went: Heard he just signed a big deal, an estimate 5 or 6 mill/ ...... That line always made me wonder how much he was making.
But like I said, I don't know everything that actually goes on, just my opinion.
