It’s was still monopolized plus you have to look at the fact that it’s a physical copy so payments had to be made to everyone involved in making that cd possible from the artist, photographer designer etc.

The company he talking about is Southwest Wholesale. The majors shut that down a while back. That's how so many southern rappers were millionaires before most heard of them. They pressed up everyone's cds and tapes back then. They were making so much money the majors pulled the strings and shut them down.

You probably got it from my team. We were the first one pushing Clue in Philly retail and wholesale and got them before some NY stores. We supplied all the mom and pop record stores too. We used to be at his mom house the night before he dropped. Shouted out “Philly the Year 2000” store my homies had. We did the Greek, Black Family Reunion, Penn Relays, Odunde and Unity Day before the market got saturated and people started bootlegging. We had the original Clue tapes directly from him

Math You doing a good job with the questions .

DJ Clue the Perfect Storm, that mixtape was crazy...

Clue is part of the soundtrack to my teenage years

“It’s all a blur to me bro” 😂🤣😂🤣 I felt that line cuz I’m tryna remember as he’s saying it as well.

I dig that Kanye did a stem player. I feel like once you’re known, and are free of a contract, there’s only one way to go. How do you get your music directly to the consumer should be the only question. How do you integrate your bars into their everyday lives and minds appropriately? I have my ideas on how I want to do this myself lol

Khalad went platinum in 2020 off of sales and streams combined......Clue was straight sales if I'm not mistaken 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm 38 from Norfolk, VA & to get a clue ? Tape was a big deal
