Hip hop doesn't force anyone, if you act like you're ballin then hiphop forces you to keep on ballin.
Look at Duckworth and Jermaine, no one is forcing them to ball. No one told Dame to come out dissing poor people, dissing people with jobs or showcase a baller persona. Dame sold drugs to flash jewlery, went into hiphop to flash jewlery and now someone forced him?
Other than that, Dame was worth about like 200 million he just didn't know it

.
Cause Roc-a-wear was moved for 204 million, he sold his share for 20 to Jay.
Roc-a-fella was worth 30, he sold his share cheaply, Jay's discography worth 50. That alone is 150 million in net worth each (minus Biggs share in Roc-a-fella) + what having Jay-z under contract was worth. Dame was not smart enough to know it though. Net worth is a theoretical measure of how much cash you could get by selling everything you own, if you underestimate it and move it cheaply
