You killed all of your credibility by calling these clowns musicians.. Rappers are not musicians with the except few such as Pimp C and Dj Quik. In order to be a musician first off you need talent.. There has been no talent in rap since about 2007. They all say the exact same crap and the all sound the exact same. 2nd off in order to be a musician you have to play musical instruments.

The worst part of being a semi-known rapper that fell off is trying to find a normal job and then being harassed by coworkers and “fans” that used to or still listens to your music. You feel a mixture of pride, embarrassment, and then depression. I knew a couple artists like that as a recording engineer, they’d rather do solo jobs away from everyone because of the shame. That’s why they do Uber or DoorDash.

Never liked his music, I could tell a fall off was imminent, but I’m glad Lil Xan looks like he’s got his life together and is sober. Thats something worth respecting him for and I hope he keeps it up
A big problem with this too is that a lot of these people that get signed have been poor their entire lives looking for this goal so once they’re offered a contract, they don’t do their due diligence and get an attorney and have them explain every single line of the contract and they get told they’re getting paid a certain amount and they freak out and they just sign it because they’re scared that if they pass it up you’ll never get that opportunity again and then only later on do they figure out that the money they were given wasn’t a payment but it advance and then they get pissed off and then everything goes sideways from there if they can’t make the money back
The problem with these kind of rappers is that they have no marketable skillset; they cant produce, they cant write and they cant skate on their legacy, so they have nothing to offer after they fall off.

I don’t think bun b fell of more so his fanbase didnt grow too much with newer generations so his core listeners are old heads that listened to him back then
He is still sought after for features by old heads still makin music their fan base desires. Def didnt fall off. Smh. I personally never felt his flow mor music. But i guesstimate i see him featured on about 25% of the peeps i still listen to that i consider relavant (from my era). Thats a nice % in my opinion.

It ain’t special no more honestly, sure there’s some that are actually trying to create their own sound but the majority sound alike even after 2 years
@@Kinja_ not really, there’s people that want to be a singer but EVERYONE wants to be a rapper now, not that special anymore. And no other genre really cares if an artist “falls off” unless the artist is really famous
Even if you become successful one day, it’s not easy to keep it up if you don’t have good money management. Also, making music doesn’t always pay the best. It’s a long grind. Big investment, high risk high reward. Everyone wanna be rappers but not everyone know how to really deal with it all. Thats why it’s always good to have a good team around you
I still believe to this day smokepurpp was doing more ghost writing than actually dropping music. I remember faintly him saying he wrote for multiple rappers
We need people to make more videos like this and show the youth that its still never going to be a long term situation like you said everything must come to an end at some point
This was awesome and even-handed. I like how continually you emphasized that there's nothing surprising about falling off, or anything wrong with working a job.
Tbh Lil Mosey did not fall off, he got hit with a false rape charge which took up a huge amount of time effort and money, he was also young when it happened and it so it affected him mentally too, when he was finally proven innocent (which took over a year, around 2-3 I think) he wasn’t in the best state mentally so he didn’t drop and when he did it didn’t hit the same as his old music because of his mental state, another factor was that he simply grew up and matured. Right now he’s still getting carried by hits like “Blueberry Faygo” and “Noticed” along with his current music being a couple singles that are actually pop songs to express his mental state and he is getting a bit of traction on TikTok for them because they’re good and because some people are asking for his old rap music and sound back. Thank you for listening to my rant. - a die hard Lil Mosey fan
Times change. Nirvana killed a lot of careers when Grunge happened. Many hyper-masculine hyper-sexualised hair metal bands couldn't play into teen angst. Only Pantera, Van Halen, Guns n' Roses and even U2 survived. Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, all too self-assured, too flashy, too rich.
Tpain as usual is spot on. The money they gave you is a contractual loan, you are given a big stack of cash to make a great project that sells well. The sell well part is apart of the contract cause they obviously want you to repay that loan and make em some money. Are they evil sometimes yes, but you signed the contract assuming you read it over you agreed to all the terms. You broke the contract so they're just waiting for you to be done circling the drain. It's why it's so annoying when rappers pretend they're hot shit when it's mostly debt and they're flexing money that isn't theres.
One thing I appreciate is that you differentiate the rappers who make music because they love to make music for their fanbase and also the rappers who, while not in current musical relevance, have classic hits that still make them recognizable.

this was a very well put together video + great editing from breaking down an artist’s career start to finish to even describing how the industry works if there was a class on how to be a successful rapper I’d play this video as a what-not to do example
@@xletzyythe industry is fast, but hip hop is just over saturated, not really special anymore to say “I’m tryna be a rapper” when 1000s of other people are making songs and saying and rapping the same to catch a wave Saying you’re a rapper is way different than saying it 15 years ago
I think in the past it was much harder to get into the industry (no internet), but once you got a record deal companies were willing to see if you succeed for 2 or 3 albums. So even if you never blew up you still had 2 or 3 years of trying to, and being a full time artist. Nowadays anyone can reach a large audience by themselves on sound cloud. So the barrier of entry is much smaller. You can blow up alone, and more quickly (just upload a youtube video). The downside is that shit moves much faster and there are more artists out there, so you can become irrelevant in a year. Its good and bad. People should always stash away their cash and not waste it all because its a popularity game. Unless youre also getting sponsorship deals and on ads, you arent getting a steady paycheck
Ehh naw, it was easier to get into the industry back in the days but it was much harder to make music. More realistic ways to make money from music back in the day, merch, touring, album sales. Now you're not seeing a decent check unless you get hundreds of millions of streams, getting placements in movies/games or you're independent and you can honestly fill venues in different cities.
Bun B never fell off though. He chose to do everything he does. He’s not the same 20 year old with the same goals. He’s a grown man with a different appetite.
Falling off is such a weird concept fr, like all of these people still have tons of monthly listeners even young joc has 400k listeners still, like some people just don't want to be in the music industry anymore because it's toxic asf and most people end up getting scammed one way or another
Not gonna lie I clicked on this video to get a good belly laugh before I go to bed.🛌 and boy this video did not disappoint lmao 🤣 the reason why fallen off rappers are soooo funny to me is because they flex sooo much on the average man and when they have to work a job or go broke I find it super ironic and hilarious 🤣
There's also the fact that there are only a few SoundCloud rappers that ever evolve their sound or experiment with new things. In Joc's defense, even though he's got talent, I think he does his best work behind the scenes operating as the ghost in the machine.
Many of them have 0 musical talent and get hard carried by producers and labels that exploit them, squeeze 1 or 2 hits out of them for money and move on to the next thing
I'm gonna tell you why this happens. The magic word is PAYOLA. Also, most artists now days are disposable. Their music holds no long-term value. They'll make a bop or 2 with no meaning that real people can relate to so their relevance dies out typically in under a year. So when they get "dropped" by the label or get out of their contract, they have already "fell off" by that time and since their music isn't timeless and the label isn't using payola to market them anymore, they fizzle out quick when they become independent because they don't know how to market by themselves and they become broke. Also, the label usually holds onto their masters which in turn the labels get a big percentage off of artists royalties even after they leave the label because its in their contracts if they don't meet the labels standards. So they can technically still own a part of you even after you leave.
I know a lot of people like to make fun of some of these rappers, but here's the thing: At least those people had a moment in the sun and at least they tried to use their gifts and abilities to be someone great. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like that. I would rather try and fail versus never trying. Most people are average because they never tried to become great. At least these guys tried.
In DaBaby’s defense, his falloff wasn’t due to poor sales or bad music. He got cancelled and lost all his upcoming performances, including headlining rolling loud
@@jahcantcombo5548 i loved Baby on Baby and KIRK when they came out but the last album i listened to by him was Baby on Baby 2 and i didn’t think it was that good at all. if you still like him that’s awesome tho bro don’t let me get in the way of that
A lot of the artists you mentioned don’t own their masters and yeah they have popular songs but probably barely get anything, except lil pump he owns his masters n just had a distribution deal
That is why when you get fame, save that money. Don’t go spending it all wild and go giving it out. Their true downfall was thinking this would last forever.

When RUclipsrs fall off you can find them make RAID SHADOW LEGENDS advertisements 😂
Still better than OF
Nah I'd say more so If you got like 500k+ subs nd you doin a raid ad then u fell off
he’s a smaller RUclipsr though, how can he fall off if he hasn’t even started yet?
Dude those raid ads pay like 2-5k per ad as if you wouldn't except the offer to promote it that potentially 5k for a minute plug..

Even if you become successful one day, it’s not easy to keep it up if you don’t have good money management. Also, making music doesn’t always pay the best. It’s a long grind. Big investment, high risk high reward. Everyone wanna be rappers but not everyone know how to really deal with it all. Thats why it’s always good to have a good team around you
who (in the modern day) do you think is a great example of this?

I still believe to this day smokepurpp was doing more ghost writing than actually dropping music. I remember faintly him saying he wrote for multiple rappers
Tbh im sure he did
Who would want smokepurpp as a ghostwriter lmao dude has a 2nd grade reading/writing level
Apparently he wrote I Love It for Kanye

Meanwhile 90% of the rappers from the 90’s and 2000’s are living quite comfortably and can tour wherever they want
Wild huh
90s rappers knew they were signing trash contracts thats why they wised up sooner than later.
Nobody buys albums anymore, nor singles or ringtones. Virtual fanbase = virtual revenus
Lmao which ones exactly?
Rap fell apart like metal it will die or transform and it did into what we hear today, absolute nonsense 😂
We need people to make more videos like this and show the youth that its still never going to be a long term situation like you said everything must come to an end at some point
multiple people are able to live and make it a long term situation.its just hard and you have to be smart.also always having a backup plan is big

And to also learn the power of pivoting. It’s important to know when to close a chapter and move into the next one.
This was awesome and even-handed.
I like how continually you emphasized that there's nothing surprising about falling off, or anything wrong with working a job.
it feels like blueface was blowing up yesterday but it was already five years ago...
Tbh Lil Mosey did not fall off, he got hit with a false rape charge which took up a huge amount of time effort and money, he was also young when it happened and it so it affected him mentally too, when he was finally proven innocent (which took over a year, around 2-3 I think) he wasn’t in the best state mentally so he didn’t drop and when he did it didn’t hit the same as his old music because of his mental state, another factor was that he simply grew up and matured. Right now he’s still getting carried by hits like “Blueberry Faygo” and “Noticed” along with his current music being a couple singles that are actually pop songs to express his mental state and he is getting a bit of traction on TikTok for them because they’re good and because some people are asking for his old rap music and sound back.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
- a die hard Lil Mosey fan
Ok Lil Mosey is an average rapper from the SoundCloud era and this is coming from someone who could rap Northsbest from start to finish lol
Times change. Nirvana killed a lot of careers when Grunge happened. Many hyper-masculine hyper-sexualised hair metal bands couldn't play into teen angst. Only Pantera, Van Halen, Guns n' Roses and even U2 survived. Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, all too self-assured, too flashy, too rich.
“If you’re sleepy then you’re gonna be sleepy.” -Riff Raff
Let’s be honest there’s too many people thinking they’re rappers
Honestly. You can never fall off. If you just go independent and live within your means.
Ive always wondered this!!! So glad you made this video
Tpain as usual is spot on. The money they gave you is a contractual loan, you are given a big stack of cash to make a great project that sells well. The sell well part is apart of the contract cause they obviously want you to repay that loan and make em some money. Are they evil sometimes yes, but you signed the contract assuming you read it over you agreed to all the terms. You broke the contract so they're just waiting for you to be done circling the drain.
It's why it's so annoying when rappers pretend they're hot shit when it's mostly debt and they're flexing money that isn't theres.
Meanwhile a dude with a regular job has way more money than them
4:45 unrelated but this is truly fucking insane. he can eat with his chain
One thing I appreciate is that you differentiate the rappers who make music because they love to make music for their fanbase and also the rappers who, while not in current musical relevance, have classic hits that still make them recognizable.
You deserve more views and subs, keep grinding 💪
appreciate you watching bro!

Smokepurps fall out has to be documented in history
Got more respect for the guys who fell of and now out there working for a living than i do for a lot of successful rappers.
Kelis is living the life. Enjoying peace and quiet while collecting big royalty checks.
Spotifys market cap is $37,660,000,000. They can afford to pay $.01 per stream. It’s just greed. They’re all greedy.
They don't make any money 💰 at all.
Imagine paying 40k for a degree and studying religion and hip hop culture
this was a very well put together video + great editing from breaking down an artist’s career start to finish to even describing how the industry works if there was a class on how to be a successful rapper I’d play this video as a what-not to do example
It's very obvious it's just entertaining, you're getting entertaining and informative mixed up
Shoutout to Riff Raff fr. That was a dope vid

same with skies like cmon
Rappers do be falling off faster than ever
Cause it's harder then ever to be one. The industry is way too fast now.
Fans not loyal 😂
@ice8erg loyalty to what? Modern Dr suess? These are regular a$$ people. Stop worshipping celebrities
Hip Hop has fallen off
@@xletzyythe industry is fast, but hip hop is just over saturated, not really special anymore to say “I’m tryna be a rapper” when 1000s of other people are making songs and saying and rapping the same to catch a wave
Saying you’re a rapper is way different than saying it 15 years ago
I think in the past it was much harder to get into the industry (no internet), but once you got a record deal companies were willing to see if you succeed for 2 or 3 albums. So even if you never blew up you still had 2 or 3 years of trying to, and being a full time artist.
Nowadays anyone can reach a large audience by themselves on sound cloud. So the barrier of entry is much smaller. You can blow up alone, and more quickly (just upload a youtube video).
The downside is that shit moves much faster and there are more artists out there, so you can become irrelevant in a year.
Its good and bad. People should always stash away their cash and not waste it all because its a popularity game. Unless youre also getting sponsorship deals and on ads, you arent getting a steady paycheck
Ehh naw, it was easier to get into the industry back in the days but it was much harder to make music. More realistic ways to make money from music back in the day, merch, touring, album sales. Now you're not seeing a decent check unless you get hundreds of millions of streams, getting placements in movies/games or you're independent and you can honestly fill venues in different cities.
So basically there are responsible mature rappers and irresponsible childish rappers lol
Bun B never fell off though. He chose to do everything he does. He’s not the same 20 year old with the same goals. He’s a grown man with a different appetite.
13:20 is crazy asl 🤣
Falling off is such a weird concept fr, like all of these people still have tons of monthly listeners even young joc has 400k listeners still, like some people just don't want to be in the music industry anymore because it's toxic asf and most people end up getting scammed one way or another
Not gonna lie I clicked on this video to get a good belly laugh before I go to bed.🛌 and boy this video did not disappoint lmao 🤣 the reason why fallen off rappers are soooo funny to me is because they flex sooo much on the average man and when they have to work a job or go broke I find it super ironic and hilarious 🤣

@@cloutevader4087 😅😅 Right???
@@bboss7712calling someone sensitive while throwing a sissy fit is wild.
There's also the fact that there are only a few SoundCloud rappers that ever evolve their sound or experiment with new things.
In Joc's defense, even though he's got talent, I think he does his best work behind the scenes operating as the ghost in the machine.
It’s really disrespectful to film the man when he’s just trying to work.
It honestly Baffles my how someone could have the spotlight and not want to put in the effort to keep it or make money from it.
Many of them have 0 musical talent and get hard carried by producers and labels that exploit them, squeeze 1 or 2 hits out of them for money and move on to the next thing
"I was at the top and then I fell off"😂😂
I'm gonna tell you why this happens. The magic word is PAYOLA. Also, most artists now days are disposable. Their music holds no long-term value. They'll make a bop or 2 with no meaning that real people can relate to so their relevance dies out typically in under a year. So when they get "dropped" by the label or get out of their contract, they have already "fell off" by that time and since their music isn't timeless and the label isn't using payola to market them anymore, they fizzle out quick when they become independent because they don't know how to market by themselves and they become broke. Also, the label usually holds onto their masters which in turn the labels get a big percentage off of artists royalties even after they leave the label because its in their contracts if they don't meet the labels standards. So they can technically still own a part of you even after you leave.
Can’t believe YBN Nahmir Scammed us for $2000🤯 1:33

Went to an underground concert in ATL and saw B.O.B didn't know it at the time but that dude is doing good and he's a very respectful person.
I've ran into Yung Joc on two occasions out here in metro Atlanta. Once in home depot and kroger out in Fayetteville.
I know a lot of people like to make fun of some of these rappers, but here's the thing: At least those people had a moment in the sun and at least they tried to use their gifts and abilities to be someone great. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like that. I would rather try and fail versus never trying. Most people are average because they never tried to become great. At least these guys tried.
The ppl is fucked up like that,no one support no one for nothin,unless that mtfk got somethin up
Riff raff’s the goat
He sure looks like one
Damn, its crazy I remember how huge all of these guys were back in the hay day. The industry really spits people out
In DaBaby’s defense, his falloff wasn’t due to poor sales or bad music. He got cancelled and lost all his upcoming performances, including headlining rolling loud
his new music is pretty terrible on top of that tho
@@shutupdodo3686you buggin Dababy can spit who tf you listen to
@@jahcantcombo5548 i loved Baby on Baby and KIRK when they came out but the last album i listened to by him was Baby on Baby 2 and i didn’t think it was that good at all. if you still like him that’s awesome tho bro don’t let me get in the way of that
Dababy hit a roadblock. He didn't fall off though
Dude fumbled the bag so hard
A lot of the artists you mentioned don’t own their masters and yeah they have popular songs but probably barely get anything, except lil pump he owns his masters n just had a distribution deal
Yea he forgot about this nuance is important cus some of these artists didnt even fall off
Smartest ones are the ones who bought properties and businesses while they were up to keep printing money
That is why when you get fame, save that money. Don’t go spending it all wild and go giving it out. Their true downfall was thinking this would last forever.
Everyone has known how the record industry works since the late 90's. How are people still surprised by this?
Bun B isn't a "former" rapper, he just dropped another Trillstatik with Statik Seletah.
