One thing that is important for New York rappers and any other artist is longevity. Some rappers come and go and we never hear from them again. Some rappers we hear from in their music, then disappear and re appear somewhere else. This is important and only few rappers understand the business side of hip-hop. What I mean by re appear, is that they are a new owner of a sports team, or company etc.
One important thing artists must realize in order to stick around in the music industry is to get involved. Only very few rappers understand this concept. Some rappers just make a hit song then disappear forever. The ones who are the true entrepreneurs are the ones who re invest their money into businesses and grow and exceed to their maximum capacity.
If you are a New York music lover then you already know who 50 Cent is. 50 is one of my favorites. He was born back in 1975 and started rapping at a young age here in Jamaica, Queens. He has since won many awards and been recognized as one of the most influential hip hop artists of our time. 50 Cent has been in movies, owns the Vitamin Water Company, and is a legend to all New York music lovers. He has won a Grammy Award, Billboard Music Awards, plus more.
50 Cent is someone who understands the business side of hip hop. From rapping on the streets to becoming the CEO of a large company he has been a great self-starter and successful business man. His previous album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' has been the definition of 50 Cent. Another great hip hop legend many New York music lovers look up to, as an idol, is Jay-Z. Jay-Z is originally from Brooklyn, New York. Everyone who listens to hip hop knows who Jay-Z is. He has been around a very long time and has been influential to every hip hop artist in some way. Both Jay-Z and 50 Cent share some similarities. They not only are involved with music and the entertainment businesses, but Jay-Z is also a successful entrepreneur. Jay-Z has a net worth of over a half of a billion dollars. Sitting around $520 million I would say Jay-Z has been pretty successful with his business decisions.
Jay-Z and 50 Cent are two prime examples of this phenomenon. Jay-Z is worth a little under a Billion dollars. With over $500 Million dollars, Jay-Z is a successful entrepreneur. From creating music, to living their lives to the fullest, to working hard, both of these NYC rappers understand the business side of hip hop. Any New York City music lover knows these two people and I would hope agrees with me from a business standpoint.
Any upcoming artist out there should sit down, and write down short-term goals and long-term goals. If you don't mimic both Jay-Z and 50 Cent in some type of fashion,then you will just be another one hit wonder. There is way more to building your brand, story, and life as a hip hop artist then just music.
