Iono tho. People waiting hours because they love your music and you just late because you don’t want to pay bills?

I think folks get it twisted because artist and actresses are paid big money. But it’s still a job. You have to show up.

but I also get the frustration of doing shows you aren’t paid for.

Hell.. I remember OutKast telling us in college they didn’t get paid for a huge show in DC for the radio station because they threatened not to play their music if they didn’t perform for free... and the DC area is usually the top market for record sales for artist back then so they played that show and were mad bitter afterwards.

which brings me to JayZ “you won’t play my hits? Well I don’t give a shit”
