Some of these rappers wisely flipped their money into business ventures

Not everybody ends up like Amil working at wal mart

A lot of them especially Golden Age rappers stay paid touring. Europe loves Hip Hop so does Asia.

Most rappers are broke and rap doesn't pay the way you think. Greg would tell you himself, most rappers rent their jewellery and have it insured (in case they get robbed), cars are rented, etc. Only the top 5% of rappers actually make any money and most of the masters are owned by labels. Rap is largely smoke and mirrors and sales don't equate to financial success and haven't since 2007, rappers make 90% of their money from touring and endorsements. E-40, Slim Thug, Wiz Khalifa, Chamillionaire, 50 Cent, Master P, Tech N9ne, JT The Bigga Figga, Ludacris, T.I. these rappers understood that which is why you see them on social media still being able to stunt the way they do. The rest of these rap niggas is broke.

Niggas are so stupid they believe these niggas are millionaires when they have no hits, no albums, no tours, but are walking around in Gucci and have 6 chains on - the label paid for that and they'll have to pay them label back eventually SMMFH.

I'm sure that Hell Rell has more money than you

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Ghostwriting, touring overseas, selling merchandise to their core fan base, investments.

 

[Ether44mag]

its true most rappers are broke all you have to do to get a good idea is read prodigy's Infamous book (or listen to it on youtube) they were living ordinary lives until after Murda muzik that when they got a little comfortable ,during Infamous and Hell on earth they had just enough to buy fly clothes ,some jewels ,regular cars and live in appartments

Funny shit is, some of these independent artists are richer than these big name rappers. Tech9 got more money than most these niggas. Joe Budden's up there too.

yep when you are independant you get around 5$ per cd while you get about 60 cents per cd when you are signed ( standard contracts) AFTER the label recoups...shows is where they get their money from
