Do venues you rent express concern about a higher risk of violence because it's a rap concert?

Asked by Timmo almost 10 years ago

Really, the whole violence is all cliche. I mean we do have incidents, but nothing to extreme. It really all depends on were and who you have, for example New York has a Hip Hop Police, if you bring a list of certin artist to town you have to notify these authorites in advance. This doesnt go without saying we don't have incidents, but real " Violence " Is rare.

How does the cost breakdown work for big acts? Like if it's reported that an artist got $100K to perform at a venue in a major city, how much of that does the artist pocket, how much goes to agents, managers, crew, etc?

Asked by Palous almost 10 years ago

The artist get's a flat rate, let's say I bring Drake. It'd cost me 250k just to get drake to preform, at that point the club owner is just happy with the fact I got Drake preforming at his club and makes me pay nothing on the Venue. Drake get's a for sure lump sum, The owner gets bar business, I catch the door money.

Asked by hater almost 10 years ago

Mixtapes? Sorta, alot of online promotion really is the only suggestion I can give you. Along with paying more established artist for features. It's all about who you know, and money certinally talks in a industry all about money.

Do you think there's ANY concern about violent rap lyrics setting a bad example? I'm not saying they directly cause violence, but put it this way: would you want your kid listening to hardcore rap?

Asked by TEP. almost 10 years ago

It's all about how you left it effect them and perceive it. Personally? I'd love for my children to grow up around the industry so they can get a feel from it from the Jump. I'd love to see my seeds carry on my legacy.
