"6 g's for 20 minutes is the pay I earn" ---- L.L. Cool J "Rock the Bells" (1985)

I mean, $6000 for a 20 minute performance is still some coin even in 2018 but when you have rappers like Eminem and Drake making $1 million + per show, this really illustrates how far hiphop has come. LL was easily at Drake's level in his prime...

$6,000 in 1980 → $18,348.71 in 2018

he made almost 1,000 a minute. That's decent
