As long as they have a fan base, they will always eat.

 

[King Jove]

rappers make money off touring now.

guys like kanye and drake can headline major US tours but the rest play at a ton of small venues and festivals.

they're not as rich as they proclaim to be in their raps, but they're still doing better than 90% of people.

people aint buying music anymore

and all the time fan base does not equal dollars

 

[Gold]

The same way any other musician makes money... touring

 

[EndDomination]

Touring, initial money from contract, depending on the deal they eat off of streams/album sales.

Brehs answered it for me, but it's primarily show money. As I said, I you gotta fan base still, you'll always eat.
