Would u rather be a rapper with a good catalog or a 1 hit wonder?

[I love Latina women]

Lemme be a 1 hit wonder. fukk it. Hip Hop go from 1 nikka to the next in a matter of minute. I'd rather have success with 1 HUGE hit single that I can eat off forever.

I'd let my hit single be in commercials, remixed in different ways, sampled by new artists and all that for more dollars.

1 hit wonder then ghost write. fukk all that fame shyt

Give me the catalog. It ain't a guarantee your hit song is gone be on commercials etc. and how do you know you won't catch a #1 through that good catalog? Also what's stopping the person with the good catalog from getting their songs in commercials?

Nothing, I was just making a general assumption. Really it ain't no guarantee

good catalog because 20 years later you'll still be doing shows/tours living off that catalog around the world

Good catalog builds a legion of stans, who'll buy anything you make. I might not have commercial success but I can eat on some low-key shyt like Curren$y.

Rapper with good catalog cause you can tour off that. Don't get me wrong, you can tour being a 1 hit wonder but with a string of hits, it gives you more to work with.

oh you right. Baby got back has commericals plus Nikki paid him. Plus he has his publishing I don't know what the amounts are though. which one pays more? your music in a commerical or tour money

 

[NYtymes]

a good catalog maybe more beneficial these days with all the streaming , a hit record is all good but lets not make it seem like you cant tour forever or license your music without one. Theres underground acts with no mainstream success who never have to work a regular job again ...

it all comes down to how big was your one hit.

He lived for 30 years off that song.. and got lucky ...
Don't touch this still making Hammer Money.
Ice Ice Baby is starting to die out.

but the catalogue will give you money long into the future...
