most of 50′s fans say hey, i would do the same thing if i were him, pretty much

Darius, I just wanted to point out that this type of savvy business thinking is not limited to the rap world. Look at Blink 182. With the help of Rick DeVoe (their manager), they started Loserkids.com, Atticus Clothing, Macbeth Shoes, and probably others I’m not even aware of. Travis Barker (the drummer) used their fame to push Famous Stars and Straps (his clothing store and label), start his own record label, his own reality show, etc…

It’s up to you how you want to capitalize AROUND your music.

Cheers,

Hoover

Superstars like this will not exist in the future because people simply do not care anymore to spend their hard earned dollars to fund a “get rich or die trying” project from some street thug. Props go out to him for making money out of this and living his dream but at the same time this shows us just how low our entertainment culture has stopped. This article has everything to do with business and absolutely nothing to do with music. This type of advice only works for rappers because most commercial rap is not music anymore as it used to be in the 80′s, it is simply garbage that is becoming more and more ignored. Real musicians with talent and something compelling to say do not need these kinds of artifices to sell their music.
