How much does your favorite rapper make per show in 2014?

I'm talking concerts, breh.
Drake is bookable for in and around 25k a pop.
He's one of the hottest guys (no homo though) in the game right now let's be honest. Believe me if you want but I know a few guys that do this sort of shyt as a side hustle
I dont think that number is too unbelievable. Despite his popularity dropping (according to album sales) hes still doing better than most of the "hottest" hyped rappers right now. He can still get headlining festivals spots overseas and shyt.

I can't say I don't believe you but what kind of venue are we talking about?
I've always said to myself though, If these dudes have nothing going on a certain date would they really turn down X0,000 dollars. Like if Juicy J tries to get 50 and I told him I only got 25 and he has nothing else booked would you really turn down 25k?
Exactly. That's just the artists fee, yes it's negotiable based on the venue you're hosting.
But I've been to 5000 seat capacity places that hosted drake and sold tickets at around 40 each.
Add in hotels, flights, tables for later, security etc. and you're still more than doubling your investment.
Guys in here believing 500k per artist
Lol true
There's definitely some rappers who will do random shows off the books in secret ..i heard of a few playing overseas then doing an extra show or two on the low to a couple hundred people

So I can really get Drake for less than 100k? That sounds like just printing money, even the worst of promoters can get a 5k venue filled with Drake
E-mail his management breh.
But 25k is a large investment! You're not gonna just have that shyt lying around
You're right I don't have the moneyE-mail his management breh.
But 25k is a large investment! You're not gonna just have that shyt lying around
. But what's stopping people who do have the money from just doing this [obviously some do] but in general I feel if more ppl who did have the money, knew some shyt like they'd quit they're day jobs lol. But then again that goes for any opportunity in life 
You're right I don't have the money
That's just it my breh.
You willing to slave away on a 9-5 your whole life or are you gonna take that chance and work your way to something bigger

fam 5000 people??? i've done shows with 20k and i'm not even known
this list is STADIUM tours... drake on his world tour is not doing 5k spots.. he's doing the united center and basketball arenas and shyt
you are not gonna be able to even book the damn united center for a drake concert for less than 25k. cause you paying the stadium, the workers, the insurance, plus everything you pay to ALL THE ARTISTSSSSSS.. with an S cause you doing a tour.. so there's about 5-6 FAMOUS opening acts too
they talking bout that type of shyt.. not... "yo i got club love in dc booked, how much for drake to do 45 mins" type shyt

Call me Dad
you know what a headache this shyt is???You're right I don't have the money
like i said i did the 50 concert 2 years ago.. about 20-30k people out there
i know the man running it so he used me to help him do and get certain shyt.. trust me artists are getting paid this 100k and up easy... plus everything they want on their rider too is all out of your pocket
anybody get hurt or an artist gets hurt.. that's out of your pocket too.. so you gotta get everyone insured and the venue insured on your dollar
next up you gotta get security.. something big like that you'll need at least 150 people, probably more.. plus cops.. which you also have to pay for too
we ain't even got to booking the rooms, making sure they like the rooms, hiring regular workers, food, people to set up and tear down, cleaning.. etc etc etc
someone with 25k just laying around, really needs another 25k plus for all the extra shyt... then be the main man doing all the watching over.. cause NONE of this is gonna run smooth as you think
it's not, call drake, pay him, call venue, pay them.... tahhhhh dahhhhhh... show
rich folks ain't doing that shyt.. especially with no damn rapper and their type of fans

A lot of that sh!t just looks like numbers on a piece of paper...demand would play the biggest role... even if Chingy was actually was on some "25k or i'm not getting out of bed" sh!t, how many Chingy times are people trying to contact Chingy for a show, at any price now a days? Compared to somebody like Yo Gotti who they have at 20k, but is basically perpetually touring the south and midwest at this point
