gorillas money, and he tours constantly.

I think that's crazy how him and the other people from Hieroglyphics are able to tour. I aint think they had that many fans, but then again, most of their fans are probably the stoner/skater types, right?

I know BCC and Foxy personally.

The members of BCC are able to tour yearly overseas and that's where the bulk of their income come from. I'm talking places like Japan, Prague, Italy, Argentina, and other countries you'll be surprise to know there's Duck Down fans.

Unfortunately, Foxy and her brother Gav (Pretty Boy) is living in their BK childhood home, and doing terrible. Her poor mother is not doing too well, and their aunt is holding down the house...I won't divulge more, but Foxy fukked herself over with her stink attitude. Can you believe when the camel opened the Barcalay Center with those concerts, he invited her to perform, but the chick never showed up. Oh, and she's really bi-polar.

:ohhh:

When my brother worked at FedEx YEARS ago at the airport, the DJ from The Coup worked there.

If you're talking about Pam the Funkstress then that was indeed a LONG time ago. She been touring with THE COUP(they just released a new LP) and she runs a pretty successful catering company in the Bay Area.

if they didnt have bread they would still be trying to rap

Nah, I don't think these rappers that are on the downside of their career would try and get make new music, as it would flop... These dudes aren't delusional lol.

Like if someone like KRS One faced hard times financially, you really think he would try and make new music? Dude's music wouldn't sell in 2013.

Odds are they would have to find a 9 - 5 or some other hustle...

LL Cool J is dropping a new album... dude is probably made this album out of love for Hip Hop... basically for fun :jawalrus:

Cat's like Naughty By Nature, Arrested Development, Tribe etc will be doing fine. When I was living in Aus they were coming through touring almost yearly, playing in stadiums for festivals, then doing side shows etc. Acts who were big in the 90's should be able to continue eating by touring around the world.

I always wonder about cats like Paul Cain though, who are basically mixtape / guest artists. Surely they can't be eating.

How well is Del doing? I've always wondered how he made his dough. Aint he a super pothead?

Del can TOUR, none of them HIERO dudes really sold records like that. But, they are one of the few WEST COAST artists that can TOUR the East Coast AND overseas. They have (along with DEL) a heavy indie fan base. I worked inside Tajai's crib, on the outside its a regular, older two story house on 41st ave. on the inside, plush. Them Hiero dudes were always smart, always. Deal might just be a super pothead, but I know he used to use shrooms heavily too, been that way since skyline high school days lol. Del does a LOT of shows. You wanna know something though, the BAY AREA don't really rock with Hiero like that, that's what kills me. But, they have arguably the greatest album to ever come out of the Bay Area.

I've noticed. My sister's fiance is from the Bay, and he fukks with people like Keak da Sneak and Tha Jacka versus Del. Do you know how well Pep Love is doing? Aside from Del, he was always the best lyricist in the group.
