my buddy and I were watchin the joint venture movie the other night and dopumentary, and we were wonderin, how much money do you think the kings make a year? i think in the last 3 years or so since they've became a lot more popular they've prolly been pulling in 100+-200k a year? i mean they dont sell a tonnn of albums but im sure suburban noize doesnt take as big of a cut of their profits say like capital did

Got K2K on torrents at fuckin 2am 6/6/06.

As someone who liked Joint Ventures, I was slightly dissapointed with k2k. Still good tunes , and it will probably grow on me as no. 7 did.

MMM just reseed after getting a file on torrents, then your giving back. I reseed everything for 48hrs, then hopefully by then someone else will get it and do the same.

I would say they each clear about $150,000 a year, that would be my guess...

Remember, they make ALL their money off of ticket sales (GO TO THEIR SHOWS) and also on merch...

CDs don't make a ton of $$$....


Anyone watch the TV show "INKED" on A&E about Carey Harts tat shop in Vegas?? They have Big B on there a lot...He's a low cash MFer too. He drives an 88 Suburban, lowered on 20s and has a pretty cute wife and 2 kids...

Its a trip, they are far from rich. I imagine Kevin Zinger and Brad X (daddy x) make the majority of the $$$ to be had.

P.S. We keep it Kali on a sunday afternoon ;)

P.S. We just some stoners reakin havoc from the west koast.

Yah I'm sure he does...He runs Subnoize, the other guys have shares in the company but Brad is the big cheese...

That means he gets a take of all the bands on the label, not just KMK, where the guys in KMK only get what they get for their shows/records etc (well each guy has something like 5% ownership of subnoize)

I don't think its him being greedy, just how it worked out...Kinda like how Zinger is the top of the SRH empire...


MMM


P.s. Ima host Koast II Koast right now.

yeah i think daddy x brings in more money, hes more involved with the record company, when my friend interned for sub noize he said brad x was there daily working most of the day, always busing and doing something,

I wonder how they feel about all the illegal downloads? I get the vibe that they would be cool about it, as long as their music gets heard and were comming together to fuck the industry.

yeah they seem to be cool, i remember when chucky was startin to make the dgaf clothing line, he said he didnt care about all the stenciled DGAF shirts out there as long as people weren't out there slangin em trying to make money, so i could see them being cool about it, their message is being spread, and with how trendy they've become they prolly make some descent change now days

I was at the DMV rennewing my license and saw some 16 yr old kid and his mom, he was wearing a tight srh shirt. I doubt either him or his mommy had a clue as to the true meaning, or to the DGAF way of life.

Still, all of us, at some point didnt have a clue either.

Badass shirt though.

Yeah I think they make some good bank.my guess is more like 350-400k each annualy.

I've been down with the Spade since 1996, before the kings even had a record or SRH even sponsored them.

I used to race motocross and I sent SRH my resume when they first opened...Zinger hooked me up fat, boxes of free shirts and hats and pants, etc...

If it wasn't a security risk I'd post pics of me at 16 w/SRH spades everywhere...

Everyone used to be like WHAT THE FUCK does that symbol mean? hahahah...


SO yah Ive been spaded and faded and jaded since late 1996...Ten Years Deep mofo's...

I didn't listen to KMK until late 1998, after I stopped racing. My pal showed me Royal Highness, I liked it and saw the SRH logo on the cover and was stoked that Zinger and Carter were helping them. I've been a hardcore fan ever since.

i actually asked my homies from last laugh if they cared about people burning cds of theirs and giving them to friends (i made 100 promo cds, with labels on them advertising a party bus i was taking to a kings show, and passed 'em out at parties) or making their own shirts, they said subnoize don't really care as long as your not making money off it...which never happens, i always end up shellin' out about $300 extra for the bus ($1000 for the bus, and $700 alcohol, hard to get people to throw that kinda bread)

although i'm sure they were pissed when no.7 got leaked a few weeks before release on torrents...

2 reasons:

1) DOT Safety inspections on the buses
2) Dopers are well known to smuggle shit on buses...

When yer medical, you got no worries about the CHP, they will hand you your recco and say have a nice day (if you're not medicating while driving, thats still a DUI)

Hey HTD, you need to get medical and then go down to HNC in Corona... I was just there, off Main St/Grand Ave... good meds, good vibes!

HNC, healing nations caregivers....

They had 8-9 flavors, real OGK, real Bubba, bomb trainwreck, juicy fruit and some kiefs/hash....


Pretty decent, 75/8 for the kush's down to 45/8 for the cheaper shit...


Go to medicann and get yer recco and then hit it up!
