Alot of them nikkas seem content with getting they $10k checks here and there and chilling up in rented mansions sipping lean and eating roscoe's
they're not seeing anything remotely close to $10k checks breh... let alone $1,500 in 2016... but they can lie & tell the internet anything...
All of these drill dudes signed rape contracts even Keef & not one of them has a Top 40 record & to be honest these artists don't make money off of mixtapes... they also don't do real shows. Performing for $500 at Adrianna's & Bocci's twice a month isn't even McDonald's full-time Salary. Keef at one point was making decent money but that dried up quick & he spent most of it. Dudes ride around in label rented BMW's & Benz's staying in friends mansions here & there is all an illusion when you realize none of these dudes even have as much as their own apartment or car in their own name.
If you were making $10k even 4 or 5 times a year why would you still be at the crib with mom in one of the worst hoods in the city with no new equipment still making beats on fruitloops & finessing video directors to work for you for free standing around a bunch of guys & thots looking broke? It's an illusion... these dudes are broke & never had any real money & it was sad to see them completely destroy any chance they had of attracting positive attention to the music scene in Chicago.
A lot of people wanted to see them win but they were too young & dumb to realize the opportunity they had handed to them that anyone else would've killed for. Walking around dissing the higher ups who tried to help you & acting like you already a platinum producer/artist is one of the quickest ways to end your career early. You have people out there hustling their asses off to try to get attention from their record label & yet young & dumb artists like Keef don't even show up to their own label funded video shoot featuring a platinum & a diamond artist.
The drill scene deserved the deathbed it created for itself & they have no one to blame but their own unrealistic views of the industry due to their self-deluded & narcissistic attitudes. Even Chop, who still hasn't completed all the options in his Warner Pub Deal, had opportunity after opportunity to make an impact & instead focused on his own rapping & producing for a bunch of low tier untalented "friends" of his while giving away beats for free to the likes of French, Gucci, etc... never completed his commitments in his contract & is now looking at Kanye to save these dudes careers...
It's rather disgusting the attitude of the younger generation to be honest...
