I think if the goal is to "eat off" Hip Hop, then you're already getting off on the wrong foot.

Real answer is 'Streamer' however these boys get an audience is amazing but the set up is basically any recording equipment and software app which is basic and they make millions. The top boys in streaming are branching out too Kai Cenat is doing a new show 'Streamers University' and etc. I do not think it takes too much skill to chop up your opinions and reviews products and music. Just do not know the formula to be successful.

I wish it was 'Other' I would say I believe 'The Boondocks' got cancelled or Aaron retired too early. There are many mini hiphop animation online at the moment dealing with scandals and viral stuff. With Aarons writing and knowing the value of the Matt Groenings and Seth Mcfarlane and co. There is money in the culture with that. I have a few applications and skills there and been working too. A Videographer who is into documentaries and biographies is probably a niche way to earn in hiphop.

Spoiler: My sh1t is just too slow and I am thinking of using AI to level up on it.

I dont understand but whatever. If your goal is not to make money and own your own home off a profession or path you love then it's a little sad.

No one should be picking a path that they think they could make the most money in, in Hip Hop.

You should be doing what you're actually good at. Not chasing whatever because you think you'll make the most money doing it. Most people who try that, for that reason, fail.

I hear that viewpoint for sure, but I disagree with it.

Of all the words A man can say "What could have been are the saddest'

I hear you though, I'm just a different type of mover I do not mind taking several losses for that ultimate goal.

Taking a loss for a goal is one thing. That's different.

But saying, "I'm gonna be a ________ in Hip Hop because that's where I can eat the most", is literally what a vulture is. That doesn't mean you're actually good at that thing. It just means you want to exploit the culture in some way, for a check. The intent is the problem.

OK I get you.

But I clarified in the first post. What do you think is the best way to eat off hiphop either generally or specifically for you due to skills or what not?

It's just a simple viewpoint. What is the biggest way to make money off hiphop today? I thought it was streaming I wanted to hear different opinions on the matter. That's it I'm not sure what you were taking from the question. Anyway I appreciate the input.

But I think so what if someone has inadequate abilities for their "goals" I don't believe that should ever be a deterrent but you do and we agree to disagree.

You dont think Streaming is profitable or worth it? Interesting.

They make a lot cash and get a lot of clout too. These streamers got all the chicks and checks well I assumed lol.

Personally I do not understand what Streamers actually do or what type of benefit or entertainment value you can get from it. It's this generations thing though and Podcasting is still there but I think it is dying down a little.

Thanks for the input though, it's real.

if you have something that interesting to say, sure.

in general most people are not built to be streamers.

I hear that similar to podcasting you need something and a little character or likeable personality trait like the young Ishowspeed lol.

I was looking into it just to know roughly what the ground level streamers make, even if they are not popping and it was very decent to think with no real start up budget spent.

A streamer with 1,000 average viewers could potentially earn around $5,000 per month

The other streamers the top names make hundred of thousands to millions per month, but they are all very young in age.

The afrocentric community have a big presence online, this is something I am passionate about along with hiphop and arts. There is a world of information people are compiling revealing beautiful history facts with all the research done. example : Louis XIV The sun King was actually black and so was King James I who ordained the Bible was also too black. It's fascinating and I thought perhaps I can compile the best data and excerpts present it in animation format and do this forthrightly through social media platforms and streaming.

Spoiler: Example like this : Just telling black stories.

As a Man I am not interesting lol for sure, but in cartoon character and AI voice apps it's something to think about when I can take like half a year off.

Props Bro.

“Being talentless is the new talent” Murda Mook

All these steamers/podcasters/content creators are breaking the bank, talentless as fukk, . All you need is a personality that people are drawn to and you goody, people are easily (and cheaply) entertained nowadays, everybody’s madd stupid today lol.

, can’t knock nigs hustles tho, I ain’t never been no hater, I love seeing my people get to it legally and on the up and up, however they do it, 🫡. My little cousin (she’s like 32) is a huge huge Kai Cenat fan, all she post is his shhit on her Facebook. What does son even do? What is she even a fan of?

I think he had a personality then after a following he had celeb endorsements, rappers, etc.

How he actually blew up I still do not know. I know Ishowspeed does a lot of stunts and spectacles but not sure about Kai Cenat. He seems quiet and smart. He is branching out into putting other people on and is very God fearing.

He's estimated at 3.6 million monthly from just a 250 dollar recording equipment set up.

All other forms of hiphop income pathways you need a lot of investment to get off the ground most people dont have that spare but with streaming you can get set up with what you do have. In my opinion though, perhaps Videographer too since you can buy a fine camera for 400 and sell your content and footage to media outlets and etc.

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
