that major money is way better, even if you get shelved. the biggest sellers in the bay do less than 20k. lets say if you blessed to hit 10k and you getting top dollar about 7 bucks per and you drop two projects in a year. that gives you 140k, subtract about 30k for manufacturing and posters and flyers. subtract another twenty for street team and radio promo. subtract 10 more for miscellaneous. leaves about 80. lets hope there is no executive producer. now with 80 grand( you did not pay taxes but fuck that we from the turf) and if you live a teenage lifestyle, still got a room at your moms house, some clothes at your babymomma's and she on section eight, no rent, no real address. then you can floss with a cool whip and few grand in your pocket when you hit the club. but only the top of the food chain can get it like that. and even then one check from the majors erases all that. if it is really about the money, go major, if you want to be famous you can do it indie but it takes hard work.
