9 million in two weeks...Jay-Z

Look, I think we all know they make money but for all you delusional cats that 'think' math is your strong suite 'cause you did a couple of 'things' listen up and take notes. This will explain to you a little more about some of these artists have discovered how to get it. Now this is just Jay-Z and Jeezy. This might also help some of you understand how silly that other 'rumor' about certain people having WAY WAY MORE MONEY than him really is. They are probably neck and neck at best. Could you imagine what the Bonos and Rolling Stones of the World are doing for 'em?

*This is also motivation for all of my friends who are out there getting it in this industry. I know ya'll can get some of this. Go to it.

Billboard Boxscore made a recent tally of 2010's top grossing shows thus far, and Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 tour took eight of the top 35 spots. Of the eight, Jiggaman's best-selling show closed out at #10 overall after it grossed $1,322,831.

To give some added perspective on how much an artist can make in two weeks of touring, Jay-Z's tour, which featured Jeezy and Trey Songz, grossed a total of $9,731,218 between March 11-24. Hov's recent deal with concert-giant Live Nation, who famously signed him to a "360 deal" worth a reported $150 million, and also organized his 2008 tour with Mary J. Blige, which grossed $34.5 million, is likely responsible for the rapper's high live performance profits.

"With everything else going on in his career, maybe he hadn't focused on tours as much as he could have," a Live Nation VP told Billboard. "But we always knew he was an amazing live artist and the kind of artist we could work with to get to where we needed to be on the live side."

Jay's next day is his headlining gig at California's Coachella Festival, which takes place on April 16, before he heads out to Europe and Japan.

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

Pictures/Women. I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

UPDATE: The Internet World has evolved. I will leave the disclaimer up however as most of you know, press is press to most people.

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
