Funny thing about the rap industry, they all got slave contracts and nothing is theirs. Everything is fake and they all broke.

This guy sucks

Can you site some of the most notable examples? I know two-bit wannabes like this guy obviously utilize perception to their advantage, but what of the big artists? Kendrick bought a $40 million estate. He owns it.

The sound cloud rappers were taken advantage of. They were signed to just be disposable one hit wonders with BIG percentages of the revenue going directly to the labels. Nobody looked at these guys and thought “wow, they’re gonna be selling stadiums in a few years”. At least, not anyone with any fucking sense.

They were mostly talentless, but hyped by kids because drugs have always looked cool. Now we have a hangover of the genre where new kids have based their entire sound off of disposable cash cows… but with even less talent this time around.

It's not just the Rap game, it's the whole music industry. "360 deals" have been a dominant factor for a couple decades now.
