Title: known rappers with day jobs??
Post by: maxpowers on May 07, 2011, 01:01:16 AM
Im wondering if some of these rappers from early 2000 have day time jobs today.

I know a person like mykestro and defari  still kept their regular job and thats cool but what about the other known cats who are now under the radar, i know mixtapes aint paying bills.
i called verizon to pay my bill one day and I swear it was bad azz on the customer service line. i was like wtf bad azz, it this you, for real his tone changed up and he said hey im just doing my job.

That "game was a stripper" shit has been said for 6 years now! If it were true then the evidence wouldve dropped. Especially when guys like yukmouth and whoo kid have both claimed to have video evidence. You don't think they wouldve dropped it and completely ruined him? Its not real. Move on.

Im not even trying to clown the guy or anything. Im a fan of his and personal business is the most slept on album from the west ever. But for real though, i aint mad at some rappers with regular day jobs. I was just shocked as a fan to hear bad azz on the other line. dude is sick with it though, dope as rapper

I would imagine that most rappers who had a little fame in the 90s but can't put out albums anymore would have a day job. Probably K.K. and D, Hi-C, Playa Hamm, AMG, I bet they all have day jobs.

Outside of the West, a LOT of Rappers and producer types have night life hustles...but not as many out here. Some of them MC for parties, Weddings, etc...some of them are promoters, DJ's, and other things tied into nightlife. One I knew in Florida was Thrill da Playa who was the head dude from 69 Boyz...he promoted a lot of shit there. And Tracey Lee is in DC...has a Law Degree, but he promotes/hosts a lot out there.

Side hustles aren't the same as day jobs. Rappers doing business ventures beyond their music is not the same as working a nine-to-five to keep food on your table while you wait for them publishing checks to materialize. And in regards to that, I think people need to have a more sympathetic look at the reality of it all. We've been conditioned to believe that there's no honor in honest money but for the strong majority of the world, that's all there is to offer. It's only when people transform into "fake ballers" that it really becomes pathetic. When you're making your kids all share the same living space so you can make videos where you throw money around and rock jewelry, that's a priority problem. It's honestly come to a point where people feel to be respected as an artist, it's better to project a false sense of wealth than to project something like talent or substance.

Oh yeah that Ant Banks one has been rumored forever. Actually I always heard the reason he basically quit doing music is because he really caked up in the real estate business.

if a rapper has the same job as me, they have the same job as me. Its not a "side hustle." Stop pretending its something its not. Nothing's wrong with making an honest, regular living but lets not pretend its something its not.

Uh, if you read the post correctly. I actually said the same thing. If somebody works at a gas station or another 9-to-5, that's a DAY JOB. If they are doing parties, voice work, or something based off the following they gathered through music, that's a business venture.

A rapper doing parties is not a business venture. That's the same thing a dj does. And voicework is something a lot of people do. Its not a "business venture", its a job they do to make money.
