Selling them?

Its more to it than that fucc nikka.

Im saying how do they get to the level from selling them for 60 bucks to be able to sell them in the thousands. I know its alot more to it then just "praying a rapper makes a hit song with ur beat"

nope thats the only way. You gotta somehow leverage your way to work with a topselling rapper OR make the beats that blows up a rapper like Rom said.

If I were you I'd try and also focusing on getting TV placements, ad placements and shyt like that as well

Think about it like this when you get to Luger's level rappers are purchasing more than a beat but a name as well. WHy would somebody pay 1000s for a beat from some nikka who hasnt worked with anyone of notoriety when they can use that to actually buy a Luger or Drumma beat.

In this age you're not making much at all unless you have multiple top 40 pop hits per year
