i bought an overpriced voir dire shirt at the voir dire tour i also bought tickets for. we need to stop acting like this is the only possible way to support artists in defense of bullshit exclusivity deals

I’m sure Warner Records would’ve loved a bandcamp release.Lol.

they were willing to let them put it up a month early on a bullshit NFT site, it's not that crazy an idea

alc absolutely has the pull to do what he wants when it's his branding on it

from warners perspective whats the difference between the NFT and a bandcamp release?

How u know them niggas is millionaires? Lmao

I could be wrong but wasn’t the nft like a front end payment type of deal ? Assuming Warner was cut in on it then the main difference for me would be recouping at a higher rate ? First thing I can think of off top

I also can’t imagine a major wanting to deal in a space such as bandcamp but 🤷🏾‍♂️

😂😂😂😂😂😂

youre the one gassing this literally noone cared until you mentioned it for cheap engagement

Alchemist over here exposing his studios address in the instagram stories. Guess I'm gonna go over there and sleep in his studio tonight

People that dont do music don’t understand:

1. How much money you REALLY need to be comfortable (which isnt a million dollars)

2. How long it takes to reach a million dollars

They better put Alc version on streaming. It's the least they can do after that botched ass rollout.

erm actually ass comment

if you don't think alc is a millionaire you're just delusional

this was an entire discourse on here when it first dropped. wtf are you talking about

what do you think they make on merch and touring like fr. they make bank. wtf do you think the margins are selling $50 screen printed shirts and playing 2k venue shows every other night

they're not session musicians doing bar shows they're doing massive international tours and have hundreds of thousands of listeners and fans

3. How many people get a cut of your pie before u even get your slice (esp @ this level)

notice how no one answered this #Nooticing..

The way artist merch and fulfillment is setup at that level they prob don’t have huge margins on the merch and touring is expensive af in 2025 but I’m sure they do well.

I’m sure Alc is set up pretty nice but Earl is young and lives in California with two kids lol he has to secure whatever bags he can get tbh.

I respect any artist finding creative ways to deliver their art without compromise and still collect a check.

its irrelevant now but you wanna talk about it for some reason

i think its a safe assumption that earl is a low fig millionaire

I mean.. it WAS compromised though. we got like 3 different versions of the album with some of the best tracks being NFT site exclusives . and I remember Mike saying you make stupid money with Alc with merch etc and Earl showed him that. i think people underestimate how much they make per show with merch

cus i'm happy we finally got the definitive version we should've gotten two years ago why are you acting so hurt and sassy about it is what i'm wondering are you getting Gala payola?

It wasn't compromised you just didn't want to listen to it on that site lol album came out with the all songs it was supposed to have on it. Does the artist also have to put your airpods in for you? lol
