99% of rappers only eat from show money. People like jay, eminem, drake, kanye, etc are the only rappers who are actually rich. A lot of nikkas are about to go out sad.

NONE of these rappers NEED to perform to stay paid.
Every artist on this list outside of Cardi B was popping before 2010.
Every last one of these acts could have retired 5 years ago and been good.
Put together a list of up and comers and new brands and then discuss/ponder:

Griselda
ASAP Mob
YBN
NBA Youngboy
Young Thug
Maxo Kream
Cassanova
Rod Wave
Payroll G

just to name a few and 90% of the battle rap circuit is gonna dry up.
Can you imagine a battle rap with facemasks and 6ft of distance between everyone???

Not trying to knock any of these artists hustle I'm just trying to make a point of new groups and brands who are more than likely going to be impacted by the pandemic. And once again STREAMS alone aint gonna keep you afloat and not all these brands have lucrative merch and accessory lines.
And if you are signed to 3-4 different people that pie gonna get real tiny.

False. Internet changed things. Set up a youtube, twitch, run ads thru your ig etc etc etc.
