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

Explain to me how it's justifiable to amass that kind of wealth
God doesn’t want you to be broke so that you are useless to yourself and the world around you

God wants you to be abundant so that you can be your best self and his good may flow through you to the world and those around you

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).

I don't think so. I have some insight. The thread is specifically talking about rappers making between 100-500ms. that type of bread.

What rappers on what labels would surprise me that make that type of money?

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.

Sounds good in theory...

Anything abandoned is most likely going residential..

What 50 is doing in Texas with the political ties is the way to go..

But then if these rappers associate with a politician nikkas don't like, he's a sellout😅

Pocket watching is disgusting

you have no idea what these people do to give back unless it's publicized :camby: that's ya first mistake, you have no research into this, every time IVE HEARD people speak on roc nation they say it's filled with family and extended family of that man, shyt ain't gotta be televised.

The man out here tryna leave black footprints in multiple industries, heavily involved in prison reform as well, but it doesn't make the headlines often enough for you :francis:

Sounds like your problem has more to do with journalism.

And no, just because someone gets successful does not mean every person that knows them or is from the same place is entitled to piece of their success, if YOU want to do that then fine, but telling someone else how they should move with what they earned themselves is pathetic, put your hand out towards your parents, people who are morally obligated to help you, not some guy you don't even know just because y'all was born in the same area and he's rich now:russell:famous people be out doing philanthropic shyt all the time, but nikkas like you demand that they gotta save world and film it at the same time just so you feel better

Everyone ain't gonna make it in this world and trying to care for everyone just gets you taken advantage of

And you coulda used a WAY better example than one man, like say, the NBA alumni. Tons of retired guys with hundreds of millions in the bank just chilling, hanging out doing podcasts and creating loaded AAU teams to demolish other kids


But nah, let's put this on rappers, people who've historically been fukked out of their true value and money since it's inception, those are the pocket you wanna run? :snoop:they already getting extorted by the industry and extorted by run of the mill gangs in every major city they visit.
This sounds ridiculous, 😂, salute tho for your perspective.

“Stop pocket watching yo!!” is broke people bum talk…these guys are worth hundreds of millions and billions, that don’t apply..help your damn people man! And I’m inclined to think he ain’t doing ish because for one, gentrification aside, Marcy is still trash, 🤮. The conditions in the hood in general maybe even worse now than when he was coming up. And for two, everything he does always gets publicized, lol…why wouldn’t doing something to fix some of the wrongs in the community/society be publicized if it was happening? Not just throw money at the problems either tho that would be nice too…I mean infrastructure shyt, he has limitless resources. Giving multi-billionaires a pass for not doing shyt because “Maybe they do” is trash. Alright, and maybe they don’t…where does that leave us and the community? Ain’t shyt changing..if they are doing something it ain’t working.

And again, not just him, all of these dudes. What has Kanye done to aid in cleaning up Chicago? No, he doesn’t have to do shyt…he can direct all of his passion in life on fashion and celebrity bullshyt if he chooses to…my thing is why tho? Like, why aren’t you passionate about 100 shootings any random week in the city that raised you and you was worth 7 billion dollars and could actually do something about it? The fukk is wrong with you? It’s a war zone…but your war is with Adidas and Pete Davis. Etc..

If y’all alright with them doing nothing…or you’re alright with “hey, maybe they are doing something, 🤷🏽‍♂️” then more power to you…shyt is disgusting to me tho. And more disgusting than that is that broke, destitute people talk from that perspective, smh. Any black person worth 9 figures plus who ain’t putting a concerted effort into fixing the black plight in America and balancing the playing field as much as they can is a Kewn in every sense of the word…and anybody defending their complacency and lack of care/effort “Cause Dey got kids to feed and 10 million dollar watches to buy!!” is a lame and a meat eater. Their kids won’t starve if they open a couple legit, respected businesses in the community and provide jobs for people…and that’s just one of countless other things they can and should be doing. You shouldn’t feel like you have to…you should want to, should be an accepted responsibility. Y’all minds is so stuck on being bums you can’t even think outside the bum box, lol, talking that petty ass talk about some damn billionaires who just don’t care about you. Some ol “Michael Jordan ain’t gotta speak about or help the black community, just shut up and dribble and I’m a buy them J’s” Fox type nigs

Lol at having sympathy for a bunch of dudes that push degeneracy and products to line their pockets. Can wear $400,000 Richard Mille watches at parties with billionaires but won't do anything substantial for the community that raised them.

U cool with this...

"fukk with me and it's a homicide
Try to clean my image with a turkey drive"

Bruhhhhh, smh. This shyt is crazy man. These rappers, for the most part, are a bunch of right wing conservative minded “me me me” dudes who stupid, bleeding heart liberal fans still meat eat happily for some inexplicable reason, lol. At some point, a nig being cool to you shouldn’t trump everything else foul about his punk ass
