So, as a rapper or performer of any sorts, how you keep from being extorted?

[The Devil's Advocate]

Not goin out is impossible to do as a successful rapper. U know how many clubs pay artists to either perform or simply make appearances. Its somethin rappers have to do. After parties etc.. but to not get extorted u have to have a strong team behind u. A strong team of loyal goons, good jewish lawyer, accountants etc

Going to a paid performance at a club is a choice. You can do upscale clubs. Or clubs with great security. Or hire 10 members from a legal security firm to protect you that night

The issue is when a rapper wants to be seen in the most hood club in the city, with 5 weak nikkas, so he looks hard with no security. Thats when it all goes wrong.

You think drake coming to a club and you gonna get within 40 feet of him?? Or he's going to some hole in the wall??

Nah nikkas in the hood aint traveling all the way to the burbs to touch you. Its only hood rappers that are getting got out here.




Nobody is extoring Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, n J.Cole b

Amber Rose is. Dont think its just goons and record execs.... The females got them a hustle too with dudes who are papered up - it's called marriage.

if a nikka is talented and gets a shot at the big time, 360 or not, he didn't lose. is he going to get jerked? sure. does he have a chance to parlay his exposure into a brand that makes him a lot of money on the side? definitely.

 

[CHAIN]

P didn't get extorted though

Yes he did, he gave lakey 2 verses for free on the 41st side compilation for giving him his chain back

money that your label will take as long as youre signed to them if your jay-z then a 360 deal aint a bad thing but if ur a cat like chief keef then i wouldnt recommend it

probably true. that's lightweight extortion though.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

y'all are forgetting the drug angle too

entertainers get taken advantage of when they're high all the time

 

[raw613]

if your just a regular humble cat that's about his career, if your not over the top with the tough talk or flashiness ya sometimes someone could get unlucky but your generally less likely to attract that kind of energy

 

[Scotch Hall]

My first single will be called "Extort Who?!"

The video will scare all them nikkaz off:

"Extort who?! Come and get some of this. Extort who?! Come to the hood and watch my nikkaz kiss"

Then the video shows 2 dudes tongue kissin.

nikkaz will be like " I aint fukkin wit that nikka....His nikkaz CRAZY!"

I can't stop
