​@@rzn2258as if there aren't any talented rappers now. Even then that's the industry at larges fault, people want to make money and spending ages to find gold won't make money especially if the person is interesting or is just copying some other lyrical guy. Kendrick got through because he's a mix of everything he's modern but he's got a lot of skill, he knows hen to be simple and when to be complex. Very few rappers past or present have ever had his level of understanding and it really shows imo. A good rapper is not wholly about technique, it's about recognising when the right time for something is, throwing lyricism and technique around will be it's own grave if you don't write anything memorable at the end of the day.

[@illford]

My good friends that I considered family that I was living with at 18 unexpectedly inherited almost 2 million dollars. We were poor at the time and had been since forever. We suddenly were living in a big house in a country club in the nicest suburb in the state. New cars, nice clothes, eating at nice restaurants, we were living the life. Only took about a year to start getting bored of it. The people around us in the country club seemed fake to us. Half of them were prescribed happy pills because they were depressed. They drank a lot of wine. They were always having swinger parties and wife swapping was a big thing. Over time we missed the old life of being around real people and everyone sticking together to get through tough times. Being rich isn't what we thought it would be and wasn't like it's portrayed in media. Took 8 years to spend it all and by the end, we were happy it was gone. I wish everyone could be rich at least once in their lives to see that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

incredible video bro, so much work went into it and it's just spot-on informative. wish this had more activity 😞

[@TobiasTheGrim]

I swear I LOVE comments like this man thank you fr. And you watching and commenting will inevitably get the video more activity so thank you again

[@russellhamner4898]

Yeah I watched this one to the very end. Rap is entertainment, and living a street life WHILE rapping about is ridiculous (AR-Ab), but inventing a fake gangster persona and then bragging about stuff that you never did is fakeness. How about they get all of that thug shit out of their system when they're young but then rap about it later? That's a happy medium between the two.

This was real good. Man, I grew up in the hood and I’m 30 now. Glad I made it out, by going to college and getting myself a different mindset. It’s crazy to think how much me and my friends glorified this bullshit. It’s sad a lot of them are dead, addicts or just straight up losers now…but when we were young you woulda thought these guys were kings… As you get older you realize this shit is a joke. Keeping black people poor by dangling a carrot in front of em. A rapper or an athletes, that’s all we’ll offer you. SMH

I assumed that there's a lot of fake shit in that game but damn I had no idea it was this fake. That Rick Ross story is crazy lmao.

[@johnvaughan8239]

I’m way more surprised when I find out a rapper really is about the life they are rapping about then when I find out they are faking it. I assume almost all are faking it until they surprise me and prove me wrong.

[@MILZ414]

One thing u left out is that most of em don't even do the drugs they brag about doing. They rap about all the pills or weed they smoke/pop but they're not really doing that lol someone on trippie redd team said the blunts he smoke in interviews are fake.

[@uttermanbo]

Most of these guys grew up wanting everything they thought life was worth having. The moment they get a sliver, they think they have made it. Their crew hits them up, family comes calling. Women start hanging with them. But it's not because they care. It's to soak up the sliver they got. Then it dries up, and these dudes got hooked on that fake love. They try to act like the faucet is flowing. They get behind in credit cards, other loans, mortgages, and car payments.

Dope video, you’re gonna be big if you keep uploading like this 💯

[@sophiejames3398]

ur so eloquent and entertaining at the same time

[@abolishwelfare]

If you’re an established artist signed to a major label you might make $1-$2 per physical CD sale. If you’re a new, unestablished artist, you may make as little as $0.30 per CD. An iTunes download of an entire album pays the artist about $0.94. Individual songs pay about $0.09 per song. Which means an artist would have to sell 12,400 individual song downloads per month to make minimum wage. Streaming sites pay about $0.006 per play. So, if your favorite artist claims to have a $6 million house, a $1 million car and $3 million in jewelry, they’d have to have sold about $15 million (before taxes) in CD sales and downloads. At a theoretical average of $0.95 per album , they’d have to have sold 16,000,000 physical units combined with downloads of the entire album. According to Business Insider’s website, if an album sold 16,000,000 copies, that would make it the 26th greatest selling album of all time. The math doesn’t add up.

Artist get paid for show money and advertising. That why the keep having to tour @50

[@patrickoakley7890]

You're forgetting about show money, but yeah your point stands.

[@HeatDeniro-k6f]

Artists get paid from touring. Labels and artists get paid from licensing. Nobody has made money from albums or listens since Napster. Labels barely make money now because of this.

I remember back in the 80s and early 90s when rappers rapped about being broke

[@deltahomicide9300]

My parents never sat me down and said don't look up to famous musicians for their money. I guess they somehow instilled in me an appreciation of the art. My earliest rap idol was Slick Rick and it was because of his lyrical skills I can give 2 shits about his gold chains.

[@michaelcooke8989]

I wish they did instel in you to listen to the lyrics, intell you that cause m'y brother came home and i was playing music in his room. I just remember one the thing hé Said before kicking me out of his room, the one thing hé said was listen to the lyrics of what there saying just opposite of what your parentes said. Best thing hé ever told me, cause i listened to content and wil i remember this 10 yrs from now.

Ever noticed that a lot of the older rappers became actors after a certain point of their music? Like sometimes I forgot Christopher Bridges, Will Smith and Tracy Marrow were actually musical acts.

[@Thor-Orion]

Ice T, Ice Cube, Method Man, TI… Aubrey Graham was an actor first (Wheelchair Jimmy got out that chair and lived his dream of becoming a rapper), Xzibit did some acting… Ludacris did a ton of acting. So yeah, loads of rappers turned actor.

[@TheeRomantic]

@@Thor-Orion or maybe they were "acting" from the begin

[@loulou7194]

[@SonGoku100YearsLater]

Yeah the reason they became actors is because they thought ahead and realized they can rap forever and that it’s better to have multiple ways of making money cause they were smart why cause they actually live that lifestyle it ain’t nothing to flex about seriously 😢😬😒

Your right that these rappers nowadays are trying to build a following to become relevant and trying to maintain that following is what sometimes leads to their downfall.
