Seriously though, this is why rappers need to have an entrepreneur mindset in this day and age cos album sales aren't what they used to be.

Some washed up rappers always try to relive their glory days by always posting clips and pics of their old stuff on IG, meanwhile they got nothing else going on and you can tell they are struggling. They thought they were gonna be young, successful and fly forever. I remember when Guru (RIP) even said that back in the day he seen some rappers who inspired him working as baggage handlers at the airport. Some might be lucky to tour overseas and make a good living off that, but you gotta have multiple streams of income going on or else you gonna end up like this.

Way more successful artists than Black Rob have had financial issues.

fukk, no one is checking for Vanilla Ice in the industry but even he got into property or something and is doing well off that cos he knew he didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in the rap game lol.

Dude is 44 but look 64

4 kids with different chicks who was looking to secure the bag in the first place

rappers/athletes think these women really love they ass
He's 52 and had a stroke a few years ago :mjlol:
They probably didn't want to be with a broke artist who was locked up for a few years when they're trying to raise their children though :francis:

The most financially successful rappers need a hustle mentality.

Rap is constantly changing and you're not going to go to Vegas and own that circuit like Celine Dion or some shyt. Rapping is like playing in the NFL.....hit a lick and then use that bundle of cash to reinvest and create other streams of income.

$450k for 10 albums?

Damn. Better off just working at the post office. Would have made more $$$. Pointless to sign a deal like that if you're worse off than an average Joe.
Future was signed to a crazy deal like that - and he dropped music like a mad man - there was a point where he was dropping yearly albums and a mixtape every single month :mjlol:
Black Rob just didn't have the hustle in him :hubie:

I always wonder how these d-list rappers make a living especially during Covid. Dude had one hit 20 years ago. Cant do shows, streaming money is probably 20 bucks a month

That album he did with Duckdown was good, really thought he was going to go on that indie grind after that.
