Is being a 'Streamer' the best way to eat off hiphop now? :

How many streamers eat?

It seems as if 4-5 guys eat 90 % of the market


People always do this they compare the top podcasters vs an average rapper, no Kendrick and Drake vs Joe Budden and Kai

It looks like a small group of young black men and women eating but on the whole it is very very expansive. Mostly Gamers and dudes are really blowing up like KSI and stuff. It's good they can eat but like they said earlier in the thread you really need some sort of electrifying personality or theme. I also noticed most are early to late 20s so these are young heads.

I think at ground level no K Dot level, you can still turn a handsome profit knowing the start up investment was easily attainable. ie. Less than 250 dollars.

But if you go into other things it has nothing to do with rap or rappers.

Gaming streamers been here for decades.

Then you have like 100k content creators, people streaming talking about trips in Japan, talking about food, news, politics, sports, the Bible, every tv series out etc.

And in all those different fields there’s a few cats that dominate.

That’s why I’m assuming that we are only talking about those that have some type of affiliation with rappers as the question was “in hiphop”. Otherwise we might say that becoming a partner at a white shoe law firm or a portfolio manager in some fund is the best way to eat

You made a dope point I thought you were talking about streamers in general so I dropped a couple examples. You mean within hiphop then you are correct there are only a few and mostly non-black like Adin Ross and that Jack Doherty guy. A few KSI, Ishowspeed, DJ AK, Kai Cenat keeping it within hiphop.

I think hiphop might still be a niche in streaming not podcasting. Podcasting you need a set-up money for streaming you are good to go with any equipment.

Online is flooded with content creators. I still think there is niche in there I feel like a 'Boondocks' type hiphop thing will take off as well as all these new avenues popping up. It's looking like being behind in the backstage is more profitable than being on stage within hiphop these days.
