Not surprised. I’ve echoed similar thoughts here before….Damn shame…. Roots records don’t really sell like that though, do they? Xscape had 3 platinum albums one of them crying about a 30k check stolen for one yr of royalties… I’m wondering how much the Roots get… especially since they’ve had label issues since Geffen… most of their money comes from tours and Fallon…
