So weird how people hold black artists to random standards no one else is held to. Jay Z is an artist first. He's still releasing music, still recording. Dr Dre hasn't been fully focused on music in years, hasn't released a proper album in years, and doesn't even write his own music.
Why would Hov pass on tens of millions of dollars from touring? No one asks the Rolling Stones why they're still touring. In fact, as of July 2017 the top ten tours by revenue that year were:
- $151.5million – Guns N’ Roses
- $118.1million – U2
- $98.2million – Justin Bieber
- $88million – Metallica
- $68.2million – Depeche Mode
- $60.5million – Red Hot Chili Peppers
- $59million – Adele
- $57.2million – Ed Sheeran
- $54.5million – Eric Church
Half the list is made up of legacy acts. Half the list are dudes in their 50s and 60s, still touring. Bono has significantly more money than Hov or Beyonce and still tours. You'd never hear anyone say "Bono needs to stop touring and get his paper" or "why is Bono slaving for Ticket Master."
- $52.7million – Bruno Mars
Some people like their job. Some people like touring. There's nothing wrong with it.
I'm with you on the some enjoy touring bit. But travelling consistently on the road on a bus
at that agetouring with a bunch of stage hands
and back up dancers I'm all for everyone one is equal no one above another
but
You think MJ at his age almost on his death bed wanted or needed to be touring before he died
I wouldn't say they need money the way you and I would see it. But those contracts, and the type of upfront money they receive, not to mention they really don't work for themselves
But other people i think necessitates this never ending modern day shucking and jiving.If it was for the love, think it would be just condensed tours/ but just my opinion.

I agree but Tidal Hi-Fi is
Think better analogy/ comparatively the entertainment "industry" is like the MOB or Military/ the focus is on the fact that once you join
they own you
And your services will be rendered for as long as you appear to be useful to them/ and of course thereafter they've raised your market value they OFF you and make money off your death and demise on the way down

dap + rep
shyt is disturbing, yet comical
Hip Hop is fukking wrestling, brehs. And I don't believe The Undertaker is a real deadman. Hip Hop is a reality show. It's real people exaggerating their real selves when the cameras are on. The 3 are very similar. All 3 look goofy as fukk to ppl who aren't into them. And all have people who aren't sure where reality begins and ends.
Jay has been exaggerating his whole career. And people aren't sure which claims to hold him to, and which to not. Jay wanted to retire yes. Then he did, like 7 years after the first time he said it. And he came back. Maybe...he was lying then. Or maybe he changed as person and doesn't WANT to quit? Who knows. Oh he's not a billionaire? And? Oh he falsely has people who look up to him based on what he says he achieved? This makes him a fraud? Okay, well how many rappers were actually drug kingpins, how many actually caught bodies? Not many.
I get a lot of the points here. And I get em but I still can't help but think there's a lot of people who are trying to call Stone Cold Steve Austin out because it turns out he didn't get much of that beer in his mouth. Just be entertained, man.

idk man..... from the jump people knew he was a minority owner. I remember when I heard he owned like less than 1% of the team my reaction was "Damn I thought he owned 4 or 5%" I personally never thought he owned more than 10% and i dont remember ever being led to believe that. And Hov is my favorite rapper ever so I follow him quite a bit.
Maybe naive people thought Hov owned it but anyone who was reading the articles at that time, they always referred to the cacs as the majority owner. And this was before Prokhov or whatever that russians name is
The work it self is rewarding. Not everyone want to be laid in bed all day watching Netflix or playing video games. The rush from a receptive audience is a great feeling.

IT AIN'T $HIT!!!!
Getting 200 mil to perform isnt beneath anybody even a billionaire just like getting 200 mil to sit court side & look like a owner
Jay was used but never owned
If you’re given/fronted an advance and the expectation is you’re contractually obligated to tour so there is a ROI on Live Nation’s investment (and a profit for subject)
It’s not that’s its beneath you it’s a requirement.
