[Duke Wy Lin]

What make you think more rappers aren’t

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Texas rappers are very against being signed to record labels.

they're not smart enough

Look, you see someone like Drake could do this. He surrounds himself with LEGITIMATE actors and functionaries who do real businesss.

You can't see most artists doing this because they really aren't that bright or have the discipline to commit to the study and humility to excel in business like that. Plus, a lot of them want to be known as businesspeople without committing to going to work every day. Its a title, not a job to them

Name names.

I'm not talking about Moguls like jay z, Diddy or Dre who partnered up with established brands, investors etc. Cham was a "one hit wonder" who managed to flip limited earnings from rap into successful entrepreneurship

Plenty of rappers are involved in other stuff from cam to Ross to fat joe etc..

Everyone not gonna hit the silicon valley jackpot

it takes hard fuking work to do what he did, most just want the easy money and when that dries up its just too late

 

[Womb Raider]

Being smart with money isn’t something that rappers are known for

 

[Mac Brown]

Simply. Some people are smarter than others

 

[Neuromancer]

Because a lot of young dummies are rappers.

Being smart with money isn’t something that rappers are known for

Blame the culture

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Cham foolowed the blueprint to the tee:

• He never sold out (kept it true to his persona)
• Got the money and wasn't a dikkhead with the funds
• Kept his legacy in tact (not stuck in a pile of flabbiness trying to do shows in front of Russian cacs like most washed up rappers do)
• The only dude with the nuts to expose with his entire chest out

If anything, Cam knew this rap shyt was a hustle to get the meat and throw away the bones.

Your foundation and upbringing matters. You also need the right people in your corner, helping guide you in the right direction.

Bro was always smarter than the average rapper and was willing to humble himself and work as an intern to get into that world.

Most rappers never think what will I do if my career doesn’t work out, they assume they’ll be able to make it work.
