What Happens To All The Rappers That Never Made It?

[bogey_j]

I saw a guy in downtown SF (who must've been like 45) still tryna sell his CDs (lol) to passerbys on the street....

shyt was the saddest thing i've ever seen

what happens to all the rappers that never make it? do they give up on their dream and work factory jobs or do they end up like this guy, middle-aged and still grinding...?

I know when Young LA fell off he was out lurking in the Taft in Peoria, IL. Now I'm sure 99% have no idea where that is but lemme tell ya, I'm from Peoria and I wouldn't be found anywhere near there . Dude went from hit single to certified hoodrat in the shortest of times:Dadamn:. Prolly paying $85 rent w/ a female roommate or some shyt, slanging dimebags of that Midwestern reggie on the side

Rappers have the shortest shelf life of any musical genre. If you aint make it by the time you turn 30 its time to give up

I've been wondering this too.
Same for the failed people of any profession really.
I assume they eventually have to get a job at a call center or work at Progressive or something.

Jaz-O crashed on my Unc's couch for like 6 months some years back. They grew up together in BK. but dude used to always show this picture of him and Jay sitting outside this car wash back in the day. He was like Smiley from Do The Right Thing with that pic of MLK and Malcolm. shyt was sad but dude was kinda annoying and he low key used to throw shots at the south so it was hard to keep sympathy for the nikka.
