Yuk Makes More Off Publishing Than Most Bay Rappers Make Per Album

[macdrebaby]

Shouldnt be very surprising, that song is one of the most popular hiphop tracks of all time. You can go to any coast in the USA or any country and hear dudes rockin that track come 420.

^^ i still like his music hes still my fav rap artist but im talkin from the quality of music thats been comin out as of late from Yuk aint as good as it use to be..ur right i dont know everything about Yuk probly dont even know half the shyt he went through BUT what i do know is that his music hasn't been that great and i think every1 here knows that..

You really need to speak for yourself. I think "West Coast Don" was a solid ass album. And even if his music isn't as good as it once was, doesn't mean he isn't working hard. The rap game in general ain't what it once was, that don't mean everybody is lazy now. Shit is just going in a different direction.

If you sell 300 CD's at $10 a pop thats $3000. If you aint pushin 300 units your first day your album comes out then you should probably stop trying to make music money. That is unless your just starting out.

whos profiting $10 a cd these days??? unless your gettin em made for hella cheap and selling em for $12 a piece

since yuk is eating good off his publishing, he should invest it into better professional "mixing & mastering" on his albums..... west coast don sounded like crap and still does, he shouldve learned from mdmp.

That check covered Yuk's weed for 2 hours.

GWOP BOY IS GROWING ON ME I SLAPPED IT IN THE WHIP AND IT SOUNDED DOPE

 

[Ghetto Graduate]

Yuk gets that off 1 song or for all the shit he wrote? I wonder what Chris Hicks gets since the luniz was signed 2 his production company.

 

[kontac]

Jay King also getting his bread since he owns the publishing off the original song that was sampled.

 

[coondogg26]

cool so he gets like 2.5 g's 4 times a year? thats $10000, chump change. I know yuk got money comin from other places but this aint that impressive

As big of a hit as it was, it's not like the Luniz had a song as big as The Rolling Stones or somebody.

So yeah, it's not a huge, impressive amount of money (never said it was), but when you think about it in terms of what I mentioned above and the fact that the song is 14 years old, I would say it's pretty impressive.

Also, just a heads up for people... The check won't be same every quarter. Each check could be more, could be less.

 

[LONDON]

No. Quarterly.

$2545 quarterly sounds like good shit, good living and thats just off just one tune, thats big, not even mentioning the royalties and publishing he gets off his latest albums and tunes, thats big

 

[coondogg26]

^im not tryin to hate, but 2.5 g's every 3 months is not good living lol. I know Yuk makin money off other shit and this aint his only money

 

[KEEPIT100]

Royalty statements and publishing checks are sent out every 6 months oct 1st then again in April.

Isn't it 6 months after every quarter? I might be mixed up.

 

[italianstallion]

[Justin]
