    Well yeah, that’s why rappers be backed up by OGs and Gangs. Where you think the money coming from?

    I think maybe a couple rappers got lucky but for the most part you need the backing fr fr

    I mean it's like, unless you have a high 6 figure job or someone sponsoring you, the only real way to make it is by robbing and thuggin s*** out or get enough of a local buzz to get a record label behind you to cover the cost.

    But even that's expensive because you have to pay them back.

    The idea that s*** is organic is such a farce. EVERYTHING cost. EVERYTHING you see from a rap act cost.

    every single thing. everybody is a "plant" lol that's why no one is a plant

    Either way it’s criminal activity which alludes to the point

    You need to engage in criminal activity or have someone who does in your camp to support you

    lol you don’t “need” to its legal ways to get money out here

    you have no idea the amount of money, connections, time, and resources available to someone like lil pump, or the things necessary to get him blown up. he was working in the underground for years, I'm sure he put far more than 200 dollars in

    pump was 17 when gucci gang came out what underground was he in? :

    And this is why your favorite rapper almost always starts with a bad deal

    There’s simply no real way to support yourself financially in this s*** without criminal activity and that gets tiring for awhile

    or folks come from money. Jack Harlow is open about his parents having money

    Nah bro

    Artists do get extorted which is why they need to be with the s***s or with the goons if they dont wanna pay up

    But these calculations are way off

    Lil Pump blew up off a soundcloud song and video that cost him 200 dollars total. His career cost him next to nothing til that point

    Tons of rappers blew without any criminal background

    far and few between lmao

    Yes and no

    Their have been rappers that had the machine behind them to blow up and they do but sometimes they don't.

    It's all about connections and getting your song out there, but I'm sure their have been unsigned rappers who have gotten lucky off memes and had their song blow up from there.

    payola is only morally wrong, everybody in the music world knows you need money to make an impact in the music industry. that's why ppl look down on it, is that it creates an imbalance
