T-Pain will outsell Plies 10-1 --- Sprint got T-Pain cheap by promoting Plies
I went to school for Music Business Admin, so here's a basic breakdown on how he's gettin paid off that deal
1/4 of the 6 figures goes to Producer
1/4 to manager/promoter/etc
1/4 to T-Pain/Plies each
on top of all the FREE Promo concerts/ringtones/etc Plies is Contracted to do now, that he won't see a dime from...he'd probably have been better off doin his own thing, then a corporate sponsorship where he loses control of his shit.
#1 reason i'm not feelin Plies is probably cause i don't like artists who shoot at their audiences..lol
"Plies was arrested on July 2, 2006 for illegal gun possession while two members of his entourage were charged with attempted murder after a shooting broke out at 238 West Nightclub in Gainesville, Florida. Plies was performing a concert when he was informed that his show would be cut 15 minutes short in order to give time for Lil' Boosie Bad Azz to perform right after. In response, Plies' entourage started to fire at the crowd, resulting in the injury of 5 people with non-life threatening wounds. Shortly after, Plies was released after paying $10,000 bail."
