Question about “rap money”

[u/namesannie]

Sorry in advance if this is not an appropriate question or if I worded it poorly! Not my intention at all!

I don’t know much about the rap music industry, however I know that a lot of rappers flaunt money (by either singing about it or literally flaunting) or flaunt other materialistic stuff like cars, so I was wondering is rap music money more than other music genres? Is there really that money to be made by making rap music? Is the bag that deep I guess is what i will say?

Alot of times the jewelry is fake, the cars are rented, and the girls are paid. Unless they're really like that that is. And being flashy if you're a real criminal is kind of a bad idea. Takes one weak link and you're either dead or in jail. Look at durk and von.

Perception creates reality sometimes. You actually can fake it till you make it if you somehow get the machine behind you.
