Of course we only see the flashy videos, the superstars and top of the top lifestyles via the media....but once your run is over....it seems like these nikkas be struggling :mjcry:

Not saying they're all broke but alot of these nikkas we envision as millionaires are probably thousandaires....:ohhh:

Like....I really wonder how they survive after the sales dry up and the concerts slow down....I guess they just perform at small venues and live modestly .. still pretty dope though

most mainstream rappers and mcs get like a good to great 5 year run. that's usually the maximum
it's all about money management
a person can make all the money in the world, but if they don't know to manage they money when they make that money they ain't gon have shyt
i don't care if they a doctor or a janitor, you gotta know how to manage ya money

hip hop and rap music is always changin' and now even faster than ever with the internet.
i think mcs and or rappers have to just know how to save they money and entertain other venues when the money in hip hop and rap slows up

as you said, there's usually always those more small scale venues and shows but it's about managin' ya money right whether you a made man or whether you a nikka just tryin' to get by in the struggle. always gotta save for a rainy day
