How do all of the washed up rappers pay their bills?

[jilla82]

i saw skillz workin the parking booth in richmond VA once

I would have gave dude $10 to write me a generic battle rap for people I come across on the street.

That dude Tom cuts me in line at Subway and I got a hot 16 for his ass (pause).

 

[Wacky D]

Like 6-6' 2"? He was behind a counter

ab liva is taller than that.

hes tall as chit.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

ab liva is taller than that.

hes tall as chit.

 

[KEEPITTRILLA]

I went to a gunplay show and there was only like 40 people there how much u think he got paid to do that

 

[mbewane]

Amil was working at Kmart, Jeru da Damaja delivered takeout for a Chinese resturant, and Cappadonna drove a cab ....theres 3 right there

For real? I remember seeing him a couple years back in Brussels for some free concert way out in some banged out neighbourhood

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Jeru kills overseas and spots in th U.S. where his type of hip hop is appreciated...

So, does he get to travel for free? Get free rooms? Eat for free?

at Wayne being paid 50k a show. I know Wayne gets paid 500k+ a show, trust me on this. Jay and Em make the most, followed by Ye, Wayne then Drake

That's why dudes should always invest into other ventures outside of rap. cause that shyt don't last long especially if u just a 1 hit wonder like skee-lo.

it's sad that a lot of the rappers are in there 30's and 40's and nothing to show for it, except bragging rights about how many bytches they fukk or how they used to do this or that.

a lot of them dudes are no better off than dudes u see hanging at the gas stations or sitting on the porch all day

Making money in Hiphop, is just like making money in boxing. Very very few are making big bread.
