Y'all swear all these rappers actually broke
Y’all think rappers should be required/enthusiastically encouraged to donate more of their money to the communities they got rich off of??

Yurrrrrrrrrr
In the mind of Snoop, his vision is to be a business mogul.
More rappers could adopt the entrepreneur route, not only would it give them ideas to experiment with, they'll receive dividends from helping out the community
- Building recreational centers for the youth to prevent violence. Pools, basketball courts, football grounds, soccer grounds, etc.
- Turning abandoned building into music training schools. Hiring experienced music teachers to teach the youth music instruments. Teaching them how to build beats. How to construct verses-bar to bar.
It can be anything once the person has their mind focus on the prospect.
Being really wealthy (like 100s of millions+) is just ethically not really defensible tbh. Anyone who's amassed that kind of bread and isn't actively trying to give most of it away should just be shot 
Even really successful rappers are pretty small potatoes when it comes to wealth at the end of the day

Explain to me how it's justifiable to amass that kind of wealth
Lol. This is actually a dangerous thought process though.Being really wealthy (like 100s of millions+) is just ethically not really defensible tbh. Anyone who's amassed that kind of bread and isn't actively trying to give most of it away should just be shot

Someone else being rich isn’t the reason that you or someone is poor.
They say it's stressful giving away money. All kinds of non-stop requests from charities, (beggars),and grifters.
John D. Rockefeller Sr. got totally stressed out after he retired and tried to do some good with his money. His biographer Ron Chernow said a full USPS mail truck used to deliver bags of requests from all over the world at Standard Oil HQ, 26 Broadway.
His son had to set up a charitable foundation for the family and hire staff. Andrew Carnegie had the same problems.
Today's billionaires and many high income/net worth entertainers and athletes mainly use foundations as tax shelters.
Jeff Bezos ex wife MacKenzie Scott is one of the few exceptions.
There's been a ton of stories of rappers giving back and helping out the community. Too many to list in a thread.

You would think with so many rappers coming from extreme poverty and from such impoverished areas that they would work towards giving back to the communities which need the most help.
Sadly, the culture of violence & hatred is so deep that it just simply does not seem like an option considering so many of the artist who become rich from the culture are in fact drug addicts & alcoholics themselves making it extremely difficult to make the sort of impact needed during their heydays.

Rich white kids listen to a lot of rap, should the rappers donate their money to those communities?
This isn't about me or any other particular person, it's about the fact that a tiny percentage of the population controls a hugely disproportionate amount of our society's wealth. If you don't think that's bad for everyone, OK my g

Imma go ahead and say they're probably making way more money than you think and way more money than rappers from a decade or so (relative to class).

These rappers were getting beat up, robbed and shot at in their hood before they made it. That’s why they only donate to kids and maybe families on thanksgiving.
