The problem is rap nikkas don't position themselves to where they can eat as good or better by retiring from rapping. If Jay-Z stayed retired he wouldn't be as relevant as he is today and he wouldn't get the same deals outside of music that he's getting. This is why we've never seen a rapper retire and stay away. We've never seen a nikka who was still moving a lot of units walk away from rapping. Even Snoop's old ass knows the music dictates the opportunities which is why he continues to make trash just to stay visual.
I can't wait to see a nikka in his prime or a little past it like Wayne walk away while they know they can still go platinum, that will be a huge step for the culture. I don't know why they can't set us real businesses that they can eat off of forever while they're relevant. Making 300k a year from your business beats what Master P is doing to his legacy right now.
While what you're stating is true for the majority of hip hop artists former & present, Master P would be one of the exceptions here, as he probably makes $300,000 or more in interest from his various investments and enterprises doing little to nothing at all. For a few select rappers it's not about the money or financial security, some are just addicted to the status of fame & stardom. Personally, I think Master P misses being in the spotlight and is trying to recapture a prior period when he was on top of the game.

....id hold that against most people if P didn't remind me of one of my uncles who love a good scam,matter fact ain't no such thing as a bad scam ol con azz nikkas

...I assumed he wuz tryna scam oprah but tried to give em benefit of the doubt,I give em props on foolin oprahs azz tho
going today...dude is like a decade plus deep into being a business failure on just about every front, to the extent of being forced into involuntary bankruptcy and having his assets seized and auctioned off over 240k he couldn't pay the crew of one his failed movies (
...the jokes write themselves, but yet he's up there reserved like he's interviewing Obama...the whole time Percy's daughter's video looking like a high school AV team put it together
