[Lil D]

sup yall, i listen alot to westcoast rappers like mitchy slick/crooked i/messy marv etc. thing is they spit alot bout gettin money and shit, they ridin' around in expensive cars; crooked i just bought a rolls royce phantom, but how do they get the money?? i just wanted to know couse their albums aint even hittin soundscan [not crooked off course]
no hate, i know its a stupid question but just was curious about that

Well as is life, people get things on credit so dont always assume they own an item outright, same as most people who buy a house; they get a mortgage...applies to everything you can buy these days...

Artists get money from shows, verses, appearences etc etc, theres an ARRAY of ways...Bigg Steele is a great example of a westcoast artist getting good money but he isnt ripping up soundscan; he grinds independent and tours relentlessly, dude prolly took over 500k last year...thats hella impressive and many other artists do the same and should be respected for it...

thnx rud for explaining that shit, i think c-bo is another great example of selling records with the promo/tv etc

i alwayas wanted to know:

people on death row like: Paradise (She Appeared On Deep Cover, Above The Rim And Gang Related OST) Does She Get Money Off Sales From These Three Soundtracks?

Does CPO Get Money From MTWC And Above The Rim Sales?

I'm pretty sure that Crooked I is involved in other business ventures outside of music...

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

Messy Marv sold over 200.000 albums in independant, its a lotta money too lol

Get a gun... Find a person who you think might have money.... Put the Gun to their head and demand whatever money they have...

Kidding....

Niggas don't have it! It's rented! If you hustle that hard, you gone spend that sht on your family, not on some ol cars and shit. Sometimes it aint even rented. It's borrowed off of the strength of a niigas name..>!! I.e Up

it's too bad he's gotta give up half, but if that's after taxes then that's great(well it is either way actually)

I'm not sure if he still owns it, but I know that he co-owns a jewelry store or something too. At least that's what I heard...
