That's not always true breh.

With the run lil Wayne had, you'd think he had to have atleast 100 mil in the bank but dude had a few mil and had to take birdman to court to recoup SOME of what he was owed. Wayne had periods where he put in mad work and only received a car for his efforts. Imagine how weird it would be seeing Wayne so broke if he died at the peak of his career before getting his money straight.

There were alot of rumors about pac wanting out of death row because he wasn't getting paid, which fueled theories about suge having him killed. Dr Dre left damn near broke.

Crazy. Dre left Death Row almost broke?
I never knew that. I know NWA had some good money deals.

Crazy shyt.

I wonder how retirement packages work in the major music biz.

No they didn't, cube left NWA cause the money wasn't right, then dre left for the same reasons and ended up in a worse situation.

Aftermath was damn near a failure after deathrow, dre struck gold with Eminem

Finances is a terrible way to judge popularity, Drake has been the hottest artist in hip hop for a decade and he was rumored to have had a terrible contract for a long time.

NWA had notoriously bad deals which is why Cube left. Thank Jerry Heller for that. The only one really getting paid at Ruthless was him and Eazy-E.

Dre left Death Row with basically nothing but he didn't try to pursue anything financially. He pretty much wanted to wash his hands of them.

There is no retirement deals in the music industry. Any genre. Which is why so many artists branch off into acting, fashion, modeling, etc.

Drake only makes 11% of all his earnings.
