What do rappers do after they're done rapping?

[Stan]

I don't know about all this investing man.  I think when you get into the fast lane the last thing your thinking about is your future investments.  Like Game said on one of his tracks he spends that dough on the first day and we don't save shit.
Then you hear Cube on another track talking about the exact opposite saying not to blow your whole advance cuz you'll get fucked.  I guess he has that wisdom though.
Living in the fast lane, 400k won't last you long at all.  The only money artists really get these days is from touring, so unless your doin that your probably not making anything.

I HOPE THEY HAVE LEARNED THE BUSINESS ASPECT OF THE GAME AND ADVANCE IN THOSE AREAS

WHAT THE HELL DO THEY DO WHEN THEIR RAPPING?

[NewYork Pope]

The answer can be found by taking a look at artist from the past that got so rich and their status now. Even actors, child-star etc...
THose stories are reflection of what many rappers will be, but even worst since they just spend like the money was gonna keep coming. Look at Young Buck, made 10 mil and have nothing now. And thats before his career over. Dude flatilined in his prime. smh. Drugs, cars & hoes broke him. That there is every rapper’s  mentality.

U see guys like 50 saying he still ride regular planes when he has access to private jet. Dude like him will always be rich.

There was this one guy from Puffy's making the hip hop band. He earned some 175,000$ or whatnot and bought a platinum chain. That's what rapper's do with their money!

in a few years, Ja Rule, DMX will go Broke...they have no investments or any of that.They are the rappers that sold 6-7 millie in USA Alone, had cake but didnt invest it like 50 Was doing with Gunit Shoes,Clothing etc..

Even Game, for what he was, he knew his brand wouldnt live for too long, but while it was hot, he made Hurricane Shoes, was here and there trynna earn as much.

specially in 2001-2002...Rappers were all selling like 2-3 millie each time..>Easy. And at that time, nobody even worried about creating a brand and investing..

50 Was the First one after Master P. Than after 2005, sales went low, rescessions etc....People went like WOAH. We Gonna go broke!

Did you says 50 was the first after P. Well in that case you can't even use the word first and I case Diddy and Hova didn't exist till after 50 right?

[.:DaYg0sTyLz:.]

he was in debt up to his ass.

Debt is always a tricky thing tho. People dont always look any further into what it means to be "in debt". They just assume....so and so is in debt, they are broke. You could be makin 5 million a year, and have 4 mortgages out there...and your "in debt". Doesnt mean youre broke. I think a big mistake some of these rappers make, is a common one...and thats that the more money they make...the more they spend. Everybody does it, not just rappers. But they are involved (like athletes) in a business that only allows you to earn your FULL potential for a few years. Not like being a Doctor, or a Lawyer where you can work for 30-40 years and more than likely continue to earn more and more as you get older. They start making purchases, and establishing bills that are fine for someone earning what they earn at their BEST. The problem is, once they cant earn that amount anymore...the bills dont just go away and they are fucked.

sly boogie working at local burger king in san bernardino. i.e.

many of em tryin to act.

I always thought rappers get delusional and think they're still relevant years after their last album.

Anyway I've heard Del Tha Funkee Homosapien has his own line of shoes and Clyde Carson makes a lot from his Hyphy Juice.
Other things that come to mind would be Nipsey's Slauson Tees store (if it's real), Dr. Dre's Beats By Dr. Dre and the name MC Hammer.

I cant believe nobody's asked Daz yet...

Im pretty sure Ja Rule has a few business ventures like clothing etc

They realize it's done then move on. Don't get spoiled and think your ass won't have to work a regular job! Nobody cares about who u were and aren't star struck...suck it up and live like the normal mufucka u are.

[ThaRealSupreme]

People like Diddy, 50 cent and Nelly knew that rap wouldn't last for them and invested so their money will keep coming in.

Its the same thing that SMART athletes do. They realize their lifespan as an athlete is very limited. So they make as MUCH money as possible during those few years, and find ways to make their money keep earning for them after they retire.

[Sir Petey]

you notice the first thing a rapper does when he gets some success is try to put some one on...thats in hopes that he can eat off that nigga and hang it up one day.
