      DMX, Jadakiss and Drag-On (Opposite of H2O). You can't forget Swizz Beatz either. Damn! If anybody from Ruff Ryders is reading this comment, I'm here and I'm ready. I got beats galore and many songs to go with them. I'm just getting warmed up y'all...

    People were sharing mp3s heavily all the way back in 1997, 2 years before Napster. The music industry knew about it but was late to respond. CD burners got cheaper in 1999-2000 and a lot more people became interested in the internet then. The industry spent too much time ignoring it, then fighting it, instead of embracing it.

    I didn't realise how many people were eating off of DMX and he never really complained about it. It's insane. Rough riders could not sustain itself without the DMX hits yet DMX had so little leverage. It's almost as if it benefited them that he was on drugs and disinterested in the business side of things most of the times. I think that there is a lot to come out about all of this. You can see that DMX feels a way about it but his loyalty won't let him air it out.

In the flesh he didn’t get his flowers from the folks he really wanted them from . He saved many with his poems and prayers . DMX was here for a special purpose to spreed the word of GOD .

I met him a few years ago in S.C at a car wash and then a few days later he walked into a bar. Lucky girl. He was so nice and just seemed as if he needed a hug, he always seemed that way to me. Always prayed that he got back on his feet. Prayers up.

    Jin would have been successful however I don't believe he should of signed with the Ruff Ryders. I believe Aftermath would have been a better fit for Jin because Dr. Dre had already had major success with Eminem. Breaking a non-black rapper in hiphop at that time wasn't easy.

And not only that Jin album dropped in 03 I believe and guess who the game on smash in 03? 50 cent! 50 killed the game that year and I get the whole Napster situation but keep it real wasn’t nobody buying Jin album cuz it was trash, ruff Ryders still legendary tho!

My buddy was in deep with them, and one time I was going to a meet up and these three guys tried to run up on me cuz they said I cut em off.

      I never realized that until I read your post. I didn't believe you so I did some research. You're absolutely correct, outside of platinum selling or artists who have been around for decades, there are very few who make a dime off the actual sales of the album.
      I always assumed that the royalties, which are between 10-20% on average, were pocketed by the artist. Hell, that's not even close to being true. Before you even start looking at the numbers you have to acknowledge that the 10-20 percentage isn't calculated based on the price a consumer paid for a record, but the price the label sold each unit for to the vendor, which is less than half of retail price. Once that amount is calculated, the label usually takes anywhere between 15-25% of the total royalties for packaging and shipping of the record. After that's taken, recoupable costs are taken. These often include promotional costs, production costs, video costs, payment to any backup musicians or backup singers used during production, money needed to shoot a music video, and quite a bit of tour and travel costs.
