Theres plenty of money in rap if you are talented, make music people care about, and are able to tour. There is a lot of guys making a solid living off this shyt. Maybe not 50 million but making 100k+ making art is a good job. Kendrick Lamar is a millionaire for example.

lol @ having bummy rapper friends and assuming theres no money to be made.

How many rappers are out there rapping??? How many dont drop albums?? I rest my case. fukk is Juelz doing for 8 years ??

Blu?

Anyway, I don't really care about nikkas 9 to 5 rhyming, especially since i'd rather see nikkas go the entrepreneur route if they have it in them rather than punchin somebodies clock. But yea some of these nikkas is on fantasy island, but "every man" rap can get just as boring and repetitive as anything else.
its not about them rapping about the struggle. im saying they are living a fake lifestyle. ace hood was broke last yr now he is buying 10k cars and flossing. I know u cant have a 9-5 and be on tour but find something else

Juelz Santana hasn't dropped an album in years and yet he lives somewhat decently. The Game hasn't been gold in a few albums and the guy is flying fans down to Cabo to hang out with his family....

Who cares how many rappers are out there rapping. 95% of them are fukking trash and shouldn't be making money anyways. That's like saying theres no money in basketball because tons of players don't make the NBA and get a contract.

"Flossing" is a relative term, especially when so many are caught wearing bootleg everything.

Theres really rappers out there flashing the same knot every chance they get. It's like a fashion accessory that they never spend :laugh:
ace hood is a dummy.

Fans have weird expectations of rappers. We need fans to go back to just being fans.

Are you talking about an everyman type of rapper? That was J.Cole and he get's crucified daily for that shyt.

He gets crucified by the 6 figure 6 cert coli billionaire. But to the regular cats, he went gold twice without even a radio friendly single so someone must like him.

Simple yet effective...nikkas have become arm chair A&R's and PR people, sitting around trying to figure out what's wrong with this or that guys image :laugh:

Not saying it's NEVER ok to discuss this type of shyt but we go overboard.

It be harder to get attention with those type of records as a new artist I think...how many really woulda gave Kendrick a chance if he wasn't Dres artist,Wale if he didn't have that Ronsin money behind em or Jcole if he wasn't under Jay.

U expect new artist to be able to get attention off those "regular" humble guy records?I don't see it in todays climate
