Record sales are dead. The gold rush is over. Films are declining. Hollywood will live and die off of blockbusters like never before. Gone will be the days of making a stream of 'weak' movies and expecting to get 30 million in box office receipts. 1 dollar DVD rentals will be a growing part of the market.
@nursedjones Yep, Hammer was way ahead of his time. Him and his team knew how to make big money, before the rest of these other dudes finally caught on.
@nursedjones exactly!!!! i feel ya %100. i remember wu tang dissing puff back in the day for doing the samething and they eventually did the same thing LOL!
cats gotta make their 15mins last as long as they can. somes 15 minutes go quicker than others.
@Lhumairrr that is true but the only downside i feel about that is they usually have 2 do/pay 4 all their promotion out of their own pockets. independent is good but u have to be on your p's and q's.
@AREALG100 that's true, but Immortal Technique said that he made way more money being independent than if he'd be signed.. actually makes sense. But the best way to make money is if you also write your own songs, because a lot of money goes to songwriters too...
Ya'll future rappers should write down what snoop said 'having other entities that's gone be there when you cold.' He's talking MSIs - Multiple Streams Of Income.
In my little opinion I think its easier to learn to write applications in Android or build games with UDK than become a successful rapper, you may not become a millionaire, but you'll have a valuable skill.
As much as people hate listening to them, they are intrigued by the characters rappers portray. Everybody is infatuated with rich people and bad guys. As long as gangsters have existed, people have been drawn to them. Why do you think evil people like Bonny and Clyde are still fresh on the minds of Americans? Bill Gates is so rich, he gave away over half of his fortune and is still richer than most of the world! That's the type of shit we like listening to because it's fascinating...
Currently this is the official net worth for 2011: diddy - 500 mill, jay z - 475 mill, Dre - 250 mill, 50 Cent - 250 mill, Eminem - 115 mill, Birdman - 100 mill, Lil wayne - 70 mill, T.I. - 70 mill, Kanye West - 70 mill, Soulja Boy - 30 mill. Times changed from 10 mill being a lot to half a bill now. Illuminati pays well
@YoungDreezee still concerts. big sean demand us 80 thousand hotel suites, ace of spade bottles and limos as well as a % of the door. so not only is he getting money up front he wont have to pay for anything so it stay in his pocket and he not even that big of an artist.
if we all stood up against this crap music and stop buying, then there will be a buzz for the real music for hip hop, but people are simple minded and dont see it that way smh
The hip-hop generation has not created it's own entity.No record company,movie studio,tv or radio stations.promoting goods and services that does not help the communities where they come from.hip hop is dead
yea they need a 2011 remake of how they making money after the recession.....heard young jeezy earlier this year say he now spending his money mostly on the needs insteads of the wants.. hehe
Rappers are making alot more now in days.Vids ont cost that much anymo nobody is paying for rental cars and hoochies like they used to its all about swag.U can get a inhouse video for like 400 anywhere.Promo is cheap to the internet is free lol more money in the pocket. Rappers dont need a label if they have loyal fans itunes is all profit.
@omnispyder420 Lol!! Where do you come up with all these stupid comments. So you would rather support coon ass rappers like lil wayne and 50 cent who are destroying the image of black males in general. Its not even about me dwelling in the past retard!! I made that comment to talk about how corrupt our society is. Ppl in this society would exploit others in order to gain financial success and thats wrong.
@Israel5058 Man I don't listen to hip hop or watch it to get my view of a black male, lol. Shit I just listen to it cause it's fun, i'm a black dude myself. My pops showed me what a real black man is supposed to be like, that's all I need. These dudes just makin music.
Its sad how hip hop started as a voice of the ghetto people then turned into a materialistic, mafia portrayed industry. Not only hip hop but every music genre is driven by money and success instead of quality and art
Artists starve and businessmen make money. Simple. How did Phonte from Little Brother say? "Make a living or have a life, guess that I got to choose" - Since everyone wants to make money, they give a fuck about quality, they want to sell. Trying to be in between these two extremes is even harder.
shut off the internet for a year wait till every last truther commits suicide due to internet withdrawl turn the internet back on and youtube will be free of idiots.
