Sitting here watching Backstage documentary and...

I respect your post but at the bolded. Multi-millionaire is a stretch by miles. They might have some dough but come on son.

nah I know Dom's people, one of my close friends from the Bay was his on his team for 3 years. Dude is a multi millionare.

Ive worked with Currency twice, that nikkas a millionaire. And it's pretty well known that Nipsey is a millionaire. He posted his royalty staetments on IG recently.

I know yall dudes have a hard time believing it but you dont have to have the blessings of a major to make millions. It's not that hard in this game.

 

[Bugsmoran]

he didn't acknowledge him

Lol that wasn't no diss. Since Dmx first debut he always said Scarface was his favorite Mc of all time

Doesn't mean he don't fukk wit Nas. Remember he was on Nas - I Am album in 1999 and did the movie Belly wit him

ok other than currency they don't even release music much and when they do they don't tour or do anything other than maybe sell merchandise. How the HELL are they making MILLIONS. Maybe hustling or whatever they do on the side but from the MUSIC hell the fukk nah! They ALL pretty much regional acts. If they come to Detroit, DC, Miami etc...they are performing at CLUBS at the most.
Please, if you have time, explain what moves that Dom or Nipsey have made that made them MULTI-millionaires y'all cats throw that millionaire word around too much just cause you see cats making a couple dollars and posting it on social media.

Nipsey

nipsey might be

idk about the other
just because you touched a million doesn't make you a millionaire

hell considering that he was working with him in 1999 you would think that should have motivated him even MORE to mention him
but knowing X, the only reason he mentioned Jay was because he knew it was Rocafella's documentary

And It was "The Hardknock Life" Tour Dmx was on

You damn right that's the only reason he mentions Jay

he didn't acknowledge him

At one point in the documentary you can hear Memory Lane blasting in the background.

I worked at a major label for two years in marketing, and I booked acts at a very big booking agency. I'm not talking out my ass. Dom tours alot, when he tours he plays pretty big rooms. Nipsey same thing. These dudes are global they arent local at all. Between sales, merchandising, placements and licensing you can clear a mil in a few years independently. Especially with a loyal fanbase. Thats not some amazing feat at all. How much u think they are getting a show? Just out of curiosity, how much do you think they make?

The internet really has opened up the world for hip hop artist its something i think is really a beautiful thing.

You not just talking about Cali, your talking about the world, they why these cats vids all do a Mil plus everytime. It's the whole world consuming their brand. that adds up very quickly if you ride the right bolt of lightening.

I'm with you on this....I don't think the average man really knows the true worth of a million dollars. When you see these doctors living in these big ass houses and driving these dope cars, you probably think to yourself "hey, that's a millionaire" when in reality he making about $250k a year tops. That's not including deducting their expenses and shyt. So on the outside looking in, these rappers might live a lifestyle that suggest that they are "rich" but being a multi millionaire liquid is a totally different ball game. I don't think there are many multi millionaire (liquid) rappers in the game.

all I'm going to say to all this bullshyt is nikka PLEASE and outside of Cali they MIGHT get 10000 a show. Neither Dom OR Nipsey have had a damn song in rotation in YEARS or EVER. Who exactly do you think is going to book them like Ol' Otis said Just because you MIGHT have touched a million doesn't make you a millionaire. Stop believing what these artists tell you cause like you are claiming I PERSONALLY know cats like Trick Trick, Proof(RIP) Royce and countless other Detroit artists who had commercial success and them nikkas NOT no damn multimillionaires. Them nikkas have bills, child support, drug habits etc...just like any body else. You're delusional

You are EXACTLY right. I doubt if in 2016 Dom or Nipsey even made 200,000 dollars but now they multi-millionaires. and dude said they booking stadiums and shyt

These dudes will believe that nikkaz like Gucci and Dolph are getting 20k a show but think it's when told that dudes like Nipsey and Dom can do the same. Only thing different between YG and Nipsey is that Nipsey hasn't dropped an album and that's because he makes more money staying independent...he doesn't have to drop an album and people find that hard to believe.
