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

[jadillac]

Dudes like Lil Wayne can get like 50K per show or higher, so some of these older guys can get 5K for a small show. If they do 2 shows amonth, that's 100K a year.

A dude like Fabolous is still making a ton of money. Drop a mixtape then tour small venues in the USA, then go to Europe.

50k? Lil Wayne is not touching the stage for nothing than 300k and higher.. Fabolous is a bad example... he tours worldwide every year for the past 10 years.... this thread is about no-name washed up nyggas.

I don't know breh, him and Pusha T did a tour in 2012-2013 for Soul Tape 2....they did smaller venues and only certain cities. Then either after or before that, Fab was doing a ST2 tour in Europe.

I havent checked, but he's probably doing a ST3 tour right now.

If I had to guess, I'd say he's pulling in $5-6 mil a year.

remember a couple of years ago when Too Short got arrested for something and they said he was still getting 20K a show. And then I remember when Nas was going thru that child support stuff, they said he was making like $10 mil a year and that was with no albums out.

Nah, he would've been on one of those Forbes lists. They had Wale at 5 mil like a couple years ago. Fab isn't demanding more than him at this point.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

How tall was he?

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

This presents a good point. If you can make an album or two that people hold in very high regard or make some form of timeless music, you're good money to a degree because you can still tour years down the line.


I run a booking agency with one of my best friends and we're reppin some of these guys and depending on who they are, there's still plenty of offers for their performances. Some have a good enough situation stashed away where they can be more picky about the offers they take so as to not diminish their perceived value in the live music realm. They don't need to jump at everything and won't unless the venue's number is close to theirs, but then others that have been around are talented but never reached any type of mainstream recognition might take any/everything short of a door deal at this point in the game, it's still a grind to them.


But it's a wide spectrum though and the thought of me trying to reach out to the likes of Philly's Most Wanted to try to put in work for them is

If lil wayne was making 300k a gig he'd be on the Forbes list…now STOP IT.

Only way He's getting that is if he signed a Live Nation deal such as Jay Z….and I haven't seen Weezy do a stadium run YET.

Niccas and these imaginary performance fee's.
