Known rappers that ain't touring, never sold much records, no side deals etc.

[L. Deezy]

He's working on music and chilling. I tried to book him a couple years ago for a show in DC. $5K for a show. If he does that a couple times a year I'm sure his pockets are straight.

Rappers have spending problems, not income problems.

Interesting.. what venue were you booking him to?

I should promote a show just to see if i can

 

[L. Deezy]

I heard Cormega will perform for free if you tell him he better than Nas 3 times... lol

 

[ISO]

Is AZ in this category?

I'm sure I read his girls rich.

I wonder how some of these rappers stay afloat.

Like where the fukk does Craig mack work nowadays?

Nah, I heard AZ was making Doe or Die II. He also makes appearances, recently he made a song with Raekwon.

Anyway I heard Cappadonna (Guest starred on Ironman, was involved in many Wu projects) was working as a taxi driver.

Try Adams Morgan & U Street. Small venues, but I know local acts are doing pretty well there.

Nature moved to Marcy *** *** **** **** nothing else to say man Nature moved to Marcy

Spoiler

...no endorsements, no album/mixtape out at the moment, no tv show deals, etc.... They just away from the limelight and are not "current" or "hot" right now.

How are these rappers eating and feeding their kids right now? I know they cant be living of "royalties", and the little savings they must have.

Examples: Foxy Brown, Keith Murray, Mr. Cheeks etc.

Alot people perform at the most random places such as the Palace of Auburn Hills during the halftime of Pistons games.

Within the last year they've had: Wyclef, MC Hammer, Tone Loc, Fat Joe, Naughty by Nature, and Busta Rhymes just to name a few.

As well as: Morris Day, Debbie Gibson, Bobby Brown, Sheila E., Gladys Knight, etc.

I hooked up Saafir's phone and Internet, that nicca lives on 98th and Dst in a duplex, in the HOOD, and that was BEFORE he got strapped to that wheel chair full time. I've worked at Tajai house, from Hieroglyphics fame. But them Hiero niccas got a global following, they always working.

That was years back. That nicca even had a phone number he gave out to fans, for support or if they wanted to donate. Some chick answered the phone and said, "Love is Love". When my brother worked at FedEx YEARS ago at the airport, the DJ from The Coup worked there.

Why is Saafir in a wheel chair?

That dude has a spine problem. Really bad, he was walking real crazy when I worked at his house, that was two years ago. About a month ago, Shock G from digital underground g said he was paralyzed now. I saw the nicca walkin like, "what's wrong with this dude". But he not at all now
