That's different. In rap you're gonna have to pay goons for some shyt.
edit: come to think of it, that's just having goons on ya payroll not getting extorted.
So, as a rapper or performer of any sorts, how you keep from being extorted?

You never know, your sister might steal some kush from a duke at an after party and the next week he might be at your telling you he will chop her head of if you don't pay a g stack.
On the real I know what you are saying as well, but sometimes you get into random situations, ho ass nikka or not.
Specially if you are trying to operate in unknown territory like Puff in Atlanta in the mid 90s.
I feel you, Real are not, certain situations will be tough. If you trying to be something you not though, it's a good chance someone might try to lean on you, like what happens to these rappers trying to join gangs
Like I'm sure Cash Money paid in some sort of fashion for that Blood affiliation. If they wouldn't have been trying to be fake ass bloods, they wouldn't't have paid or been paying what they are.

It doesnt end at rap. People in high places get extorted all the time: judges, cops, politicians, attorneys, businessmen....

Don't sign the contract.
You don't need to get muscled to be extorted. These record labels is extorting these nikkas with the contracts they give em.

I don't know how it is in N.O. . ButI know of certain places that did not have Bloods & Crips, and nikkas used to rep blocks, but now those blocks are claiming blood, so now they claim blood. They wasn't always Blood but thats what it is now.
Yeah, that's kind of what happened in the A. But I'm speaking on Major rapeers tho. Them nikkas actually be trying to get that co-sign from an OG so they can officially rep that shyt. Shoot videos in the Cali hoods (Waka) and have nikkas hold them down when they hit certain spots. That shyt ain't free

nikkaz can threatin to fukk up your shows, rob your crib, hurt your friends and family no matter where you are breh.
Not sit here and spit about **** you dont live at all. If you rep you on the screen like you rep you in the street you good.If you get no respect in the streets then what makes you think you gonna get it when you get on screen..**** dont change the ****** in the hood knows you so if your able to get extorted when you was a nobody then it wont change when you get a lil change only get worse cause now you have something that they really can capitalize off of.Thats why ****** from the hood that just lived there and made it cause they was just cool with peoples and was nuetral on alot of levels they make it and bounce dont keep no ties that much except for that one or two peeps that you really rocked with.Come thru just to show face but let it be known my dude im out the hood many real ****** have done it.

if the venue has good security & you call the feds that aint a factor bruh im sure plenty of nikkas threatened 50s potnas on that tip but u aint never heard really of situations like that panning out against him.
50 has a LOT of nikkaz on his payroll to prevent him from getting extorted.
He knows the deal.

You can't
You always gonna get got. Why? You are a money making machine. The Goons, Big execs , record labels, street bosses all want something. Damn even your family will make an emotional claim.
The only thing a person can do is make the right choice
