this is probaly going to sound like a dumb post to alot of you but im just kind of curios. most of all the rappers i dont like are extremely rich (50cent, masterp, eminem, nelly) but im just wondering about some of my favorite rappers and how much they really have, a few specific ones.

all of my favorite rappers are from the westcoast so that explains it. i am just curios if you guys have any type of estimation on how much money C-BO, Spice 1, Kurupt, and yukmouth have? because they are so underground in the mainstream scene, i cant imagine they have that much?

i just wanted to name a few of my favorite rappers who i know are superior on the mic than those rich pop rappers, and wanted to see if you guys had any idea how much money they really have

I think they get better deals since they are on the independents. They don't push as many units, but they get a large cut from the units they do sell. They probably do pretty good for themselves.

it might not seem like it, but some of the cats you mentioned actually have a lot of fans...so they are making bank, maybe not the millions those pop ones are doing, but they are still doin well

yeah i know they have alot of fans but its nothing close to as much as the pop rappers, i thought that c-bo does well, but compared to 50 cent whos worth over 30 million, do you guys think yuk, young gotti, and spice are even worth a million?? for some reason i just dont imagaine it

id put a mil on em if i had the $......but people like cbo been in the game 10 + years and been runnin his own label since 98, he helped put on 151, cyco, wcm gang and mob figaz and hes probably still seeing royatlies from all that....as far as indi scene in cali, nobody puts out more records than they do and if bo can keep his ass out of jail long enough they could be a major factor

I really dont give a fuck about thier wealth.....let anyone of those cats go major and as soon as they do they drop shitty albums because they get comfortable and loose that hunger they had to be on top of the game.......ya know?
