I think MC Hammer's story is the most interesting because he wanted to give back to his community. He had 200+ employees making 30k/year (65k in 2018 dollars). His spending had very little big investments where he financed small projects to help people in Oakland. He found out people didn't like Hammer, they just liked his money. He said in an interview if it's worth his whole fortune to save several people from getting shot, overdosing, or dying in other circumstances (pimps, hustlers, drug dealers, gangsters), it's worth it to Hammer. In the MTV commercial era, you're sporting material because that what sells the record. With the MTV cribs, it made the rappers look rich. Bow Wow known to fabricate his fortune to appeal to fans. It was typical in big record labels to sport material. If you were to sign for Cash Money in the late-90's, you'll have a lot of rented expensive vehicles, rented jewelry, rent yacht, borrowed mansion, half naked women because that's the image that specific record label pushed.
True but seems like he didn't have a good management team or guidance uncle sam be coming for these people they are the ones you can't trust. Some people they don't want to see us with shish and i think he shouldn't have bought that huge ass mansion

@Chris Kibodeaux First my brother...I don't know you...You don't know...Your comment is welcome, but don't refer to me as "Dip Shit"... Anyway, with regards to your comment...How do you know...Nas got 40 million?...I guarantee you that when it was reported by the news...The news said...Nas got a "repoted" 40 million....Key word "reported"....Which simply means the News cannot confirm or deny that Nas got 40 million....

As stated above, 100s of channels like this, all run by non-Blacks, denigrate African Americans. It's racism, plain and simple. As their are many people of all Colors who go broke in music, so why only focus on Black faces? Answer, their is an agenda behind these websites.
They get told that the label will take care of them , in most cases they are not allowed to have any control of any money or personal . The record label employs former FBI , police as bodyguards to these rappers .
DMX is not the first rapper to have two number one hit albums in the same year,that honor goes to 2PAC (All Eyez on Me & Makaveli the Don Killuminate 7 Day Theory)they both came out in the year 1996.
actually the video is correct , people mention 2pac but technically its DMX.. becuase 2pac Died that same year his second album dropped in that year so DMX is the only Artist Alive to have 2 number one albums the same year .. Pac had died before the other album dropped
99% of all rappers are financial fools and broke. Yet they continue to act like they got money a.k.a fronting with fake jewelry, rented cars and homes....But as one of the few riches rap artist Jay Z said...."Men lie, woman lie, but numbers/figures don't"...lol
@@quintonevans1513 Paying taxes isn't optional. That's the way it is. A lot of these dudes pay ZERO....just begging for an audit to pay nothing. I mean, cmon. I know these people don't see much from the taxes they're paying, I get that, but save yourself and those around you by paying a tax attorney to pay as little as possible, but at least something. Paying nothing just puts a giant target on you, especially if you're making big income.
Im not a mathematician, but in Hammer's case, if he just resold all of his stuff, how could he be broke?? Sure he'll have way less than what he started with, but still millions.
KEITH the IRS merely collects taxes they don't spend it. If you want to blame somebody for misuse of our tax dollars go tell Congress since they are the ones in charge. Hopefully you vote to.
After all these years of artists being ripped off and making bad(awful) financial decisions, these young people coming into the game are STILL being ripped off and making bad(awful) financial decisions.smh🤦🏽♀️
Juan hernandez you get a lump sum, then you're on your own. If you just spend, without earning more, you're gonna end up broke. 🤣 The richest ones make their extra money from clothes or colognes or headphones etc.
The most incredible part is how many youtubers in the comment section of this video hang out with Nas on a daily basis, and discuss how much money they both personally have.
Sal Vong he gets 7 grand everytime it comez on tv which is like twice a year lol and the name of the movie is like mike nobody cares enough to remember tho it was wack
Myballsareblackandblue Ouch but when ur buying stupid Shit what do u except and there are new rappers coming in these old rappers aren't being remember
LopsidedEdits True and to add on they don't pay taxes and give there money to there family I know u love ur family but taxes should come first because they will put u in jail for not paying ur taxes
How in the fuck does a Grown man worry about another mans money. Since your no talent ass has this info lend these folks some monies thought not. Pathetic little git..
You’re only as good as your last hit. Buying jewelry and new cars every other day, legal bills, unpaid back taxes, child support, failed business ventures etc etc is the common theme for many young men and women who think the money going to just keep coming. There is a lifestyle for ANY budget that will break you. Live below your means, pay tour taxes, don’t assume the money will keep pouring in. Save something for a rainy day.
I'm just trying to figure out how they feel comfortable allowing an accountant or some stranger have that much control of all that money, I don't even trust anyone else with my small check.
ThugginCentipede they’re mostly uneducated and never worked before or at least didn’t earn as close as when they became famous. They simply don’t have a clue what they’re doing
ThugginCentipede: That's because they have no guidance with handling legal issues and financial services. Excessive spending, along with bad investments and other issues prove to be their undoing!.
The tax code is very complicated. A lot of them probably don't have good financial reps on their team. It's not hard to get messed up on taxes when you earn income in so many different states and countries
Why do they not take warning from others mistakes? I can understand having poor investments etc, but blowing money so unwisely, and not paying taxes is just plain stupidity

Funny how these rappers claim to be "bosses" but dont even know if they paid taxes.

No wonder they're on the list!.

+Vee King Speaking of "how fucking stupid you people are."...Tell us, when did Nas go broke???
Yep, recently he got a $40mil real estate deal? Correct me if I'm wrong.
They are 2 rappers that are still wealthy:
Wyclef Jean net worth: 10 millions (2018)
Nas net worth: 50 millions (2018).

bad accountants

They get told that the label will take care of them , in most cases they are not allowed to have any control of any money or personal . The record label employs former FBI , police as bodyguards to these rappers .
That shows how important financial education is.
Ray Mak: And legal matters, difficult to show any kind of sympathy for them when they fuck it all up!.
Nas has just signed multiple multi million dollar deals. Do research.
VintageBS and got a huge check for Amazon twice this year.
Exactly wat i said
VintageBS right
I said the same thing

The money goes to military contractors and large corporations that already have money.
It goes to pay the interest on the Federal Debt. That's it. That's the purpose of the IRS.
In competition with you on this Keith 😅🤣
“Nas blows off the tax man”
Chuck Schick nohomo

have u?
Real reason why Nas ain't poppin nomore is because he dissed JayZ for bitting Biggies verses, and JayZ pretty much ended Nas career after that
@ Similak Child
Nas hasn't been popping since 2003.
DMX is dope but he needs to wrap it up amd quit having kids and leave that crack alone...not a good combo...
Howolddmx
He like a pastor or sum now
DMX needs to stop fucking bitches 😂😂😂
Lil Kim not only went broke, but she also turned white😐
You said state of Georgia, but showed the country of Georgia map. Which is it?
Tim Crook
Why would it be the country?? Stupid question!
Steve Jovan look at the map shown in the video.
Tim Crook
Yes meaning it’s the wrong map! It does not take a genius to figure out which is the problem.
Steve Jovan you say it's the wrong map. Maybe there's alot of failed rappers living in Eastern Europe that you don't know about.
either way he owes Georgia.

None of em really broke
@marconuts Its easy .... downgrating from a Bentley to a Mercedes Benz isent broke at all.

“Lauryn hill attempting remixes by more popular artists, such as Drake”. Mans remixed her song first 😂😂😂

ThugginCentipede they’re mostly uneducated and never worked before or at least didn’t earn as close as when they became famous. They simply don’t have a clue what they’re doing
Toni define uneducated?
Didn't finish high-school. Most of them never had a day job, never seeing a tax form. They made their living from crime.
ThugginCentipede: That's because they have no guidance with handling legal issues and financial services.
Excessive spending, along with bad investments and other issues prove to be their undoing!.
The tax code is very complicated. A lot of them probably don't have good financial reps on their team. It's not hard to get messed up on taxes when you earn income in so many different states and countries
When you are born poor and become rich in a short period of time, you spend money like crazy thinking it will last for ever.
