Out of work rappers vol. back to da block

[eiddyfouw]

Jin
Ja-Rule

There's a million I can't think of off the top of my head but I always wonder what the hell they do, cause you know damn well they aint working a 9-5 at the local burgerking

:x

Put that in a spoiler man. Damn.

Ain't nobody tryna see Wyclef motorcycle porn.

 

[gllahone84]

Thread reminds me of the Nas track Where Are They Now...

 

[mugzbo]

Jin is now in Hong Kong make music and etc

 

He out there acting in soaps and sitcoms that are absolutely terrible. If you thought son was bad here... Probably caking nonetheless and has his choice of decent Hong Kong broads but the dude hasn't grown and remains a dwarf to this day.

The last I heard about Phife was literally the Beats, Rhymes and Life documentary. I hope he's able to get his health back on track but my hopes of one last ATCQ show will never happen. He's a real humble dude and seems to really value life after battling diabetes all these years. Anyone else heard anything as to what Phife is up to?

Ya'll talking like just because Amil was seen in a K-Mart or Target that she's hurting. Who says you can't have money and take advantage of great discount deals?

Really wonder sometimes as to what the rest of the Wu is up to. Any confirmation as to whether Cappadonna is driving cabs? What's Inspectah, U-God and Masta Killa been up to? I can hardly imagine them struggling to make a buck because that European and Japanese money will always be there as long as the Wu is around. I'm sure GZA advised them to invest and diversified their bonds for them and **** when they were making that real money. What the hell they spend 14-18 hours a day in their daily lives doing though?!

Wyclef is loaded ain't he?

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/wyclef-jean-net-worth/

And Capodonna was a taxi driver back in 03.........is he still doing it? Damn shame...Rappers spend way too much money on ish they don't even need. Meek Mill is going to end up broke too, his style doesn't have any longevity in it, and this dude is spending hard blood money on jewelry and private jets with his boys SMH...****, if I'm a money making rapper, I ain't spending ish like that, I was broke and I don't want to end up being broke again.

and the Wu Tang Clan just performed overseas. And they got an album coming out soon.......... this year! It's the 20th Anniversary off Enter the Wu-Tang Clan 36 Chambers.

[mugen81]

^^^ me and my girl were talkin about this thread and we both said meek mill is headed for this path... I just don't like him anymore, wish stalley had more shine then him

 

[joepac12]

Same stalley is a better rapper too

 

[meek meals]

heard Masta Ace from Wu drives a cab

Masta Ace was in the Juice Crew not the Wu Tang and he coaches football at a high school. Capadonna from Wu Tang was driving a cab, not sure if he still does.

As for washed up rappers, some tour on that one hit, some get regular jobs and others get arrested, shot or killed for trying to be about that life.

*see Crunchy Black formerly of Three 6 Mafia

YOOOOOO

What happened to dude's face, need backstory now

And as long as you've had at least one hit or notable song, you can make some money doing small clubs and living average

 

[Sir San Diego]

He got blasted. In the face.

 

[Peep Game]

can we add lil flip and lil bow wow in this also

Surprisingly, Flip kills on tour money. Dude is never not working. I hardly listen to him anymore cause his flow changed so much, but it's cool knowing he ain't in a dumpster somewhere like other rappers who are out the limelight.

 

[tommyicerocking]

Lil Flip was performing in Denver

ringtone money and real estate

- Ja Rule just got out of jail for taxes or something, and according to me, will be goin ham like Tupac getting out of jail. Him going after Big = Ja going after 50

Eve just realized this today, and judging by the tracklist, she doesn't want me to listen to any track other than the Juicy J/Pusha T ones. What a far cry from Dr. Dre beats

Other Ruff Ryders,...well, Cassidy responded to a barely decent Meek Mill diss track, destroying and embarrassing him. Meek Mill retreated to twitter with the classic "You're not relevant, I got more money/cars/etc", beef ran it's course. Meek Mill "won".

From last year

- Nappy Roots last had an album in 2011, I think a joint collab with organized Noize.

And yea, Cappadonna drove cabs at one time, during his early Wu affiliation before he was [somewhat] recognized as the 10th member. He's referenced it in a handful of songs. And released an like like 2-3 months ago.

 

[tommyicerocking]

Paul Wall is still making dough

 

[Fong$tarr]

The pharcyde

They still tour.

phife dawg

From the Tribe doc, he wanted to be a scout for college basketball.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Young Joc?

 

[dens415]

I believe Phife lives in or around the Antioch, CA area. (most likely Brentwood, CA)

My boys girl works at the Champs and he told me he came in there a couple times after the documentary release.

She said he was looking healthy.

Young Joc?

Gucci mane said he went broke on Trapgod 1

A lot of low key random animosity and salt ...the average rapper works a job while he's on, especially in this climate. Internet rappers hold regular jobs. Some of these rappers are business savvy too. They promote parties using their connections, the average party promoter isn't taking home less that 3K a party. Even at hole in the wall joints with 200 max capacity. Multiply 200 x 25 that's 5K ...after he pays staff and promo that's about 3K left over. So imagine HUGE clubs with D list rappers on the flyer filled with dopeboys.

Sasha Go Hard works at a bike shop in Chicago for an example. Rapping is just what she likes to do.

Maybe it's just me but the first couple of replies I seem like displaced animosity because they're making a living doing what they wanna do and you stuck in the Matrix trying to prove your self-worth to people that don't matter. I don't want to see anyone fall from grace, that's just not in my nature. Weak jealous docile cowards live like that.

do u look at rappers any less if they are holding down a job, and what other rappers u know work side jobs
