Being on contract to perform in Vegas every X days is seen as a way for artists to get some cash as their careers slow down

thats not whats going on here at all though. This is a monthly residency. Trey songz, Chris Brown, etc all have them. Basically TI will show up once a month for the next year, maybe twice if they booked up for pool parties as well. Perform a 30 minute set, then feast on the best groupies this WORLD has to offer.

You are thinking of the Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Britney spears SHOWS that happen multiple times a week. These are multiple hour shows with dancers, props, etc. Think Disneyland shows but with Britney Spears :heh:

And Vegas has done nothing but revive most of their careers (the ones with the shows)

It's worth getting out your system. Once you experience it move on with your life. Living there and taking up residency is :trash:



I've been to vegas maybe 10 times for sure and I have friends who haven't been and they are hyped to want to go annd everytime I ever went I was less interested. 5 of those times
I skipped the strip all together.
I feel like im being financially raped every time im in Vegas...
...just a dirty feeling.

:whew:Glad that's not what this is.

That might've helped Jlo and Celine Dions,and Britney Spears careers but they not musical greats like T.I is,or rappers....This would've been a bad look,its too soon:mjcry:

It seems like the older artists would rather go overseas and tour than pick up a vegas residency.
thats an option too. i think the Vegas Residency you prob get more negativity from fans because they are all american and we say whatever the fukk we want...but if you go overseas you can be blind to how cold you are in america...they will still treat you like a god overseas even if you only had that one hit 25 years ago. in america you get clowned for it.

Drais is a dope club. Always have a good time there. Stage area/where the artists perform is very much over the top Vegas.

These guys actually get well paid to do these. It gives them an artist who people will be like 'yeah fukk it I'll see TI' then spend 18 bucks a pop on drinks.

Tidal ownership + residency in a span of a few weeks, gotta :salute: that's a lot of work that goes on to getting both done, behind the scenes.
