unique way for producers to monetize

the people that want a surprise gift from Pharrell every month aren't aspiring producers ... that's what I've been saying
And what is it that he's doing to the people who are fans of his whole lifestyle and existence? Their getting a piece of that, souvenirs,
memorabilia, keepsakes. Do any of ya'll know about celebrity fan clubs? This is common type of thing in that realm, but not
something you expect from a beat technician. The point is that you can ascend from that to making real money if you choose
to make yourself the brand in that way. I myself am not trying to be TMZ fodder so this wouldn't be my goal, but it gets your mind
thinking outside of the box. What other methods could you co-opt from other professionals?
 
A win is a win. If you can go from giving out free beats to artists you would never listen, just because thats the way it is ... to making Kim Kardashian money ... **** imaginary "selling out" rules
 
"Selling out" is relative and to the people who actually would pay for this the stuff isn't crap. It is all about the perspective of the customer. No different than selling a t shirt at a show. I don't see anything wrong with diversifying your portfolio. If people are willing to pay as long as you are giving them something of value to them it is a win win. If it is crap and there is no audience for it then they won't sell anything but the true NERD fans, said in the most respectful way possible, of Pharrell will eat up something that he selected himself.
 
Its funny how niggas won't buy music, but will call someone a sellout.
 
Pharrell is selling a new fragrance called "Girl".

It is for girls and guys. It's only $135 a bottle too. Who is up on this?

Because they are upstanding young men who care about your wellbeing, El-P and Killer Mike are offering RTJ2, their second album as Run The Jewels, as a free download, just as they did with last year’s Run The Jewels. But as they did with that album, they’re also offering you plenty of chances to pay money for the album, if you feel like it. There are plenty of different bundled versions of the new album available for preorder, ranging from the $10 WAV/FLAC digital package to a one-of-a-kind $5,000 super duper collectors deluxe edition, which includes four LPs of master discs, both the master and instrumental versions, as well as a rare test pressing, a four-LP teal and rare vinyl version, a CD, a T-shirt, a signed poster, and a vinyl insert poster and sticker sheet. Or at least, the $5,000 version seems to be the most elaborate one that anyone would actually buy. There are some deeply fantastical editions of the album available too.


For example! $75,000 gets you the “I’m On The List, *******” package, which gets you and a friend guest list privileges and backstage access for up to 10 Run The Jewels shows: “We will pretend to like you and will introduce you to our friends as our ’friend’. Run The Jewels requires a half an hour before stage time to not have to deal with you and your ****ing yammering in order to do our pre show stretches, vocal warm ups and crying.” Other, more expensive packages include the offer to fly to your city and show up at your kid’s show-and-tell during school, they offer to house sit for you, the offer to re-record the entire album using nothing but cat noises, and the offer to start a private detective agency. It runs all the way up to a $10,000,000 package, for which Run The Jewels offer to “retire from music, making only one song a year for you personally.”
