A lot of beat producers don’t get paid nearly as much as people think.

from a production deal that didn't amount to jack shyt. surprised they didn't go after him. All he did was put out that 2 man group that never popped and tapes from him and Dom. This dude had charting monster songs and was flat broke.
I tell the coli brehs to stop believing everyone in entertainment is eating. dude is easily a top 10 % of active producers. so think about the realities of the game. Most producers don't have more than one monster hit. it's a fukking grind.
different era the supply is outpacing the demand today. the cost of entry hit the floor. game is saturated. there has never been this many talented unknown producers while there has simultaneously never been this many horrible non artists clogging up the artist lane.A lot of beat producers don’t get paid nearly as much as people think.
it's like we can't have it both ways.

Very good breakdown:
What you got to do is take that advance and see if you can buy some real estate or some kind of investment. When HitBoy said he was paying rent in Beverly Hills you know that ain't cheap. Not surprising I heard dude moved to Fontana for a minute.
There was another story Kenny had where he said he knew someone who got signed, bought a couple apartment buildings and never released anymore music.
Additionally, like others have said the money you make from making beats today is watered down bad. I remember somebody in some Discord saying they got placements with Future and the Weeknd for $40k total a few years back. That's a once-in-a-lifetime type of placement and you get $40k for that?
A lot of regular folks with careers make so much more money than many of these cats straight up. I know that for a fact.
That was before BeatStars where now you got cats/kids out there selling modern beats for $20 per pop because they think selling 5 of them is big money (can buy some hypebeast shoes).

Mans moved everyone in and they drained him until he was penniless
I'm glad he's telling his story but at the same time,
I don't think its wise to tell everyone how heavy your pockets are now.
He kept reiterating that, every 30 seconds.

I took it different, I believe he was stating he is much smarter with money now. Therefore he has more of it.I'm glad he's telling his story but at the same time,
