Lets talk about why Rappers are so stupid and end up back in the hood after...

[C-Styles]

Making millions of dollars and we "SET FOR LIFE" only to be back to square one... Like how the hell do you let this happen?? Shouldn't there be a class on managing your money for these dudes?? What would you do if you were in a position where you recieved millions??

 

[Trav]

Athletes get 10 times what most rappers will ever see and they STILL go broke. You tell me if there should be a class.

 

[filial_piety]

THing is...they make millions for someone else, not for themselves. Whatever budget they get is really like a school loan..they gotta pay it back with interest. There's money to made elsewhere, but not in the record sales.

 

[L. Deezy]

rappers and most atheletes in general just dont like to live modest. They see the peeps that came before them shining in new shyt and want to do the same.

When I see these dudes in strip clubs throwing money at strippers, I just shake my head like damn. WHY?

 

[C-Styles]

exactly, it's like that show 30/30 on espn, anyone see how some of these athletes try to live the "rapper livestyle" only to end up dead broke cuz of an injury??

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

THEIR UPKEEP IS WHAT GETS THEM.

 

[Reality Check]

It was said in the 30 for 30 that aired on ESPN the other night, but it could apply to rappers as well. Many of them have champagne tastes yet only have beer money.

 

[Broccoli Rob]

This will be the reality for any GBE members who remain alive long enough to fade back into obscurity unfortunately.

The problem is that when you come up and have nothing, your aspiration is to live in this lavish way you've been coveting the whole time. In reality, with what they do make after taxes, etc., a lot of these dudes could set themselves up pretty well and still eat/smoke/live decently with just a trustworthy accountant and a tad bit of restraint.

Easy.. How many of them are black with ignorant nicca mentalities? They don’t invest in anything that doesn’t depreciate once its bought. They’re too busy trying to impress & outdo each other instead of looking out from themselves in the long run. Frontin spending more than what they make. Most of your favorite artist are in debt big time.

Aside from living above their means they're naive enough to think the money's gonna come in forever

yeah, like Soulja Boy

this nygga done tatted up his face, spending all kinds of money.. Nygga cant come back from that once his career is done (well its pretty much done)

 

[C-Styles]

The good thing about it, long after your career is done, you can still get that show money and just live comfortable if you're smart enough
