Money management and/or investing is how one would be able to do so...



But that's just one aspect.

Eve gets minor acting gigs...

Juelz invested in that Slow Bucks clothing line plus although he hasn't been on tour, he does get show money for the appearances he does.. not to mention he prolly made a nice lil sum off of "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" which was independent money

Not sure bout the others but they come from an era where you actually did make money off of albums when people actually bought them so I'm sure they still have a nice lil money

Some saved money and can haul a check here and there when they need it
Some get street money

Some go back to living normal

You'd be surprised, you could live a good modest life off of a little 3 year run

Yet another reason why Hov is the best. He has mentioned how artist get addicted to fame and lose that drive and focus to reinvent themselves and put out quality work

how do you get fame from music, but then get lazy to put out music?

 

[Rohiggidy]

its not about making money. How do you consider yourself a musician and only release one album in 10 years.....rihanna is a beast. Pac was a beast. Wayne ans ross putting out music
