Should rappers help give back to founding members or the artform?

you do know swizz raf and trying to look out for other....you know that right?

Swizz wanting a hand out to give to someone else is still Swizz wanting a hand out

 

[LurkerSix]

Yall really forgetting that old hiphop acts tour overseas and make a killing all the time? What stopped them from doing that? And if Swizz wants to donate a million dollars, he can do it himself without his standard of living changing. So whats been stopping him from shooting them some dollas

Thing is, old rock and soul singers still get compensation today because of all the samples.

Also that was a different time, hip hop is the youngest mainstream popular genre and the pioneers are still alive.

The contracts back then were waay different because rap was not seen as something that was here to stay. I'd be surprised if it even said 5k in the contract.

These mfs are paying extortion money to crips, throwing money to thots for putting their pussy on live, and doing all kinds of reckless shit with their money.


Cashapp a dollar or two to the pioneers so I don't have to look at depressing pics like this

My only issue with this is Swizz talking, but is he putting any of his money to help old rappers? Does he have a plan in place? If not he just looking to grab a headline

yall wild in here.


yall straight up calling dudes lazy for not being financially secure?

Wild shit. Cause this is usually reversed. Corona times be flipping shit

i mean....alot of folk in NYC catch the train.....but i think too many niggas are about keeping it real.

this is also why .....we cant really be talking about why black folk do whatever to get money when you a trailblazer more times than not....they end up broke and forgotten.

verbal homage and respect dont pay the bills

Getting a job after your fall off pay bills better than being a trailblazing panhandler!

I'll say this. No they shouldn't for everyday living for those founding people but if they claim they love the hip hop culture and founding person has a health crisis and can't pay for a surgery or some type of hospital bill. Then yes some folks should all chip and get that taken care of. They do it for other shit and those people sometimes don't give a fuck about hip hop as a culture or rap music.
