How much of hip hop is money laundering?

It seems like the careers of rappers who have gang ties, or whose managers have gang ties, are simply fronts for the gang, so the gang can keep making money selling drugs or trafficking weapons but prop up this rapper as their "legal" way of making money.

You also see this a lot with hip hop producers. In a sense, sampling has made music more cheap and reproducible, very much like modern "art." Anyone can push buttons on a sampler and call it a "beat," then sell the beat and make money from it.

The truth is that there is very little money to be made in music nowadays, especially in the era of music streaming. Live concerts cost more to put on then they make in revenue. Given these facts, why are so many rappers "rich" and walking around wearing chains and shoes that cost thousands of dollars? Why do they all have multiple cars and $10 million mansions? Where is this money coming from if the actual music pays so little?

If there was any kind of justice in the world, you'd be fucking dead by dawn tomorrow with a bit of double ought buck in the back of the head.
You and your entire worthless trash bloodline along with you.

Most rappers are simply shabbos goyim for Jewish label owners and management companies.

This is what Kanye has been speaking about and why he's being maligned.

muh hecking da joooooooz dood

At never at any point in your life were you ever a legitimate person. You have no independent thought, you don't have the capacity for it even, and you never have, ever. Take one look in the mirror and you already know you gotta fucking go. You were never anyone that could achieve any kind of real sentience, you know that, and it's all over for you. Time to step into that long good night, forever.

That's just capitalism. Has nothing to do with Jews.

I know this is pasta, but seriously. You can't deny the whole genre is full of shady shit.

Look at Juice WRLD, for instance. He was simply a kid from the suburbs who loved music who was recruited into the NLMB Black P Stones gang. Lil Bibby, a high ranking NLMB member, became his manager. It just so happened that Juice died by a massive drug overdose as the feds were raiding his private jet where they found a ton of illegal drugs. It's very obvious this kid was being used as a mule by the NLMB gang and you can be sure his entire career was a front for the gang, aka MONEY LAUNDERING.

One other thing: why are rappers constantly flaunting "their" wealth? You seldom see musicians in any other genre do that. Pop stars don't run around showing off their $2000 chain necklaces or $500 pair of shoes. Ed Sheeran dresses like the high school custodian.

Cause they're useful idiot, pacifistic goyim. Lack of ambition and inoffensiveness is part and parcel of the deal.

A lot of their jewelry and such are loaned out from labels, it obviously sells better if they look like they are rich so labels are more than happy to do this.

That's not how money laundering works. It usually involves purchase of expensive goods like luxury cars. Producers sell their beats for pennies on the dollar because they make money from the royalties. Hell, there are plenty of producerbros who will license their beats for free.

All of it.

It seems like the careers of rappers who have gang ties, or whose managers have gang ties, are simply fronts for the gang, so the gang can keep making money selling drugs or trafficking weapons but prop up this rapper as their "legal" way of making money.

This has been going on since the 80s.

Also: not music.

This. All the money the label gives artists for luxury items and things like hotel rooms during tours has to be paid back eventually. Most famous musicians are in a fuckton of debt, which is exactly why the really big pop stars venture off into things like fashion or cosmetics.

Most rappers are dead broke. Their careers are usually disposable which is why so many fall off within a year or two after having a few successful songs.

Have you seen that p diddy documentary? it’s not just drugs but also human trafficking. It’s a vile culture. The music is crap as well

Racist

If you hate rap then you should thank Trump for killing it off by removing the criminal outfits funding it.

impoverished background 90% of the time
"yeah im gonna flex my racks because its something i never had"
not exactly perfect logic but its also a culture full of bragging and bpasting too and honestly they're just glad they made it, unfortunately materialism is heavy in said culture as well, but then again america as known to be more materialist-minded than other countires.

Private jets also provides easier ways to traffic and not be bothered. This is one of the accusations against Diddy, for example.

Well here's how it started
Heard you on the radio
Talkin' 'bout rap
Sayin' all that crap about how we sample
Givin' examples
Think we'll let you get away with that?
You criticize our method of how we make records
You said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart
Stop, check it out my man
This is the music of a hip-hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same mistake politicians have
Talkin' all that jazz
Talk, well I heard talk is cheap
But like beauty, talk is just skin deep
And when you lie and you talk alot
People tell you to step off alot
You see, you misunderstood
A sample is a tactic
A portion of my method, a tool
In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority
And what we sample of, is the majority
But you are a minority, in terms of thought
Narrow minded and poorly taught
About hip-hop, playin' all the silly games
You erase my music, so no one can use it
Step on us and we'll step on you
Can't have your cake and eat it too
Talkin' all that jazz
Lies, that's when you hide the truth
It's when you talk more jazz than proof
And when you lie and address something you don't know
It's so whack that it's bound to show
When you lie about me and the band we get angry
We'll bite our pen, start writin' again
And the things we write are always true
Suckers, get a grip, now we talkin' 'bout you
Seems to me that you have a problem
So we can see what we can do to solve them
Think rap is a fad? you must be mad
'Cause we're so bad we get respect you never had
Tell the truth, James Brown was old
'Til Eric and Rakim came out with "I Got Soul"
Rap brings back old R&B
And if we would not, people could've forgot
We wanna make this perfectly clear
We're talented and strong and have no fear
Of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz
Talkin' all that jazz
Now we're not tryin' to be a boss to you
We just wanna get across to you

Been drinking tonight Ari m8?

Yeah its hard to save a junkie whos as far gone as he was. I doubt he would've endured rehab either

If Trump manages to kill hip-hop off that alone will put him in history as a top 5 president.

Rap is mostly just people advertising branded shoes so they can buy more drugs and get into debt with record labels.

How so?

The difference is, the ENTIRE rap genre is a money laundering scheme or at least heavy filled with money laundering.

You want to know? A long time ago there was a very very private meeting with the Bloods and very top music industry executives and they worked out a deal to promote their gang and use the money to fund criminal activity. Why do you think so many rappers are blood? 6ix 9ine said under oath that the Bloods literally take people and "give them a career" in exchange for giving them a cut of show money and the rapper pretty much gets a "blood pass" and can rep the gang even though they dont have any real ties to it. NWA's whole issue with ice cube was a big part of that too. Shit it goes beyond just the Bloods, there's a famous story about Eminem not being able to perform in LA because he was being extorted by the Crips but Eminem had ties with Dr.Dre who had blood connections even if he wasn't cool with Suge Knight. It goes pretty deep but long story short the Bloods pretty much operate way deeper than just a street gang and they do have industry connections

NWA was literally broken up because of jews Ice Cube was talking about that in the 90s

jews

not capitalists

This would be an interesting academic study.

Kill yourself IRL, commie. "Capitalism" is just a four-syllable word for "nature".

Frank Sinatra was a real musician.

Singing isn't music

This. The entire music recording industry from its earliest days was a money laundering scheme.
