He could beat Q-Bert and Roc Raida simultaneously in a battle with one arm tied behind his back and I'll still shit on him. Quietly of course.

Put EVERY crazy show cost you can in the settlement. Keep it gangster. The promoter I work with has two outdoor venues where we do summer concert series. You should hear some of the stuff we tell the artists tour manager and production manager. If it rains we tell them we're charging them for washing their busses and trucks! LOL. You gotta have fun with this shit.
