"Let Me Know" has been my track since summer 2000...."That's Me" too, for that matter, is my favorite Cam era.
That’s Me one of my favorite rap songs ever

“nikkas tried to make Killa Cam all polite
Turn on the set now bytch I’m like Poltergeist”

I always took that as a play off Mase’s “I was Murda, P Diddy named me Pretty” line.

Fresh is not taking inflation into account.
I am but it still wouldn't make up the difference.

The reason artists (Mainly the mid and lower tier) is because rap has become so big, you can have no radio play, no videos, nothing and still have a strong fan base that'll come see you live. There's a bunch of rappers we've never heard of running around making a good living off rap music. It's even helped artists older acts like RA the Rugged Man. His protege, that AFRO kid, makes 1500 a show just to open up for him.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Facts. Uzi made a million off XO Tour Life alone.
i really hope you know the difference between net and gross

yea uzi could have MADE 100 million off a tour.. and have to pay out 99.9 million of it to the IRS, his label, management, stylist, property tax, budget being recouped, etc etc etc


stop thinking anybody but the bank and the IRS know what people are making.. all that net worth, forbes, calculations, "i signed a deal worth...", is all bullshyt unless you seeing the bank statements and tax returns with your own eyes

shyt i made 65k last year... now ask me how much of it i actually took home. and they in a higher tax bracket with stipulations and debt to pay back their employers
