you're missing the point... the avg funeral cost $7-10k and it's not like you have to pay it flat out in cash.. funeral homes have financing and plans and shyt.. they understand everyone in america and most people, don't have 10 stacks laying around in case someone gets in a car accident
what people can't seem to understand is with rappers only... you don't see this with other genre's... you def don't see it with other famous entertainers
when you making even 1k a show... 500 a show.. it's very hard to imagine, you don't even have 10k to your name.. 5k to put half up... 2k for a downpayment... not enough money to even have a funeral service.. let alone some life insurance.. ESPECIALLY when you rap about either the streets (should be aware how quick a life can end) or money (shouldn't be rapping bout money knowing you ain't got any)
so either these rappers are flat out stupid, and haven't seen this play out with 20 other dudes, and haven't learned, hey maybe i should get insurance or at least put away 5k.....
or the families are just money grabbing... knowing they could pay for a funeral.. but are like "lets see if we can have the fans donate the money"
either way
