Kreayshawn Japan Tour footage part. 1

so who r some rappers that deserve the exposure that ymcmb and other pop rappers are getting?

She sells because her fans can relate to her and she speaks to young girls who is the buying audience. The reason why she is so successful is because girls are tired of listening to niggas in their 30's rapping about money bitches and selling dope. That used to be taboo and it opened suburban kids up to a lifestyle they were never exposed to before. But with the internet and every gangsta rapper on earth that story is old. Kreayshawn brings something that is not out there right now and thats a voice for young girls that is not based on an un obtainable image. Every fan feels like they know her because she's as transparent as one can be in her position. And they also feel as if they can be her. The thing with it is it's not for you musically but every artist on this board can learn alot from her. I just think that the "Why her, I'm way better" mentallity in the bay is the problem. She didn't take anybodies deal, there isn't designated deals per market. What she did do was bring back good business to Bay Area artist cuz for the longest the bay was considered bad business. She's doing 45 min show sets worldwide without an album yet so that means it's more then a gimmick.

I Pukokeki Ioulo Momu I feel you and respect your opinion. I just feel a gimmick is based on a artist or record being marketed and promoted based on only one thing that will get the attention of popular culture. Kreayshawn has been successful despite being exactly what we are told would never sell. A white woman from the bay are rapping about thrift store clothes and recreational drugs. On paper this should never work.

Actually, its the perfect recipe....white people buy the majority of hip-hop records. And, as you have pointed out, she is rapping about shit that people can feel...WHITE people. Well, there you go. White hipster people know about thrift clothes and pills.

I know you know what youre doing. For one, youre not a rapper. There is no real money in rap. There is money in management and owning and running a company correctly, as well as publishing rights and agency/owning.

 

[8FIVE8]

ofcourse theres money in rap. if ur music is tight

 

[Foul Mouth]

ofcourse theres money in rap. if ur music is tight

theres money if you play the back ground too. and you aint got to stick to a schtick like a rapper does.

 

[UGT]

shes the corniest rapper ever

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

ofcourse theres money in rap. if ur music is tight

Yeah, if you're the artists A&R manager...artists get near dick compared to what those around them who manage them get. Do people REALLY think that your average hip-hop artist on BET/MTV is worth millions of dollars???? I sure hope not....that would be sad.

 

[recklessofgilaz]

you also got to have a hard work ethic, be ambitious & not be afraid to invest in yourself. Hard work pays off look at Berner

I never knew how much any rapper was making. Im sure the ones on the radio are well paid. so everybody else gets paid more than the rapper? what kind of deals are these rappers getting.

?????? - I don't know anything about this bizz ... What does say your average opener for Jacka @ The Phoenix or Boardwalk make ?

Do show's still pay good ?

If they are lucky they won't have to pay themselves to open for some of these "bay legends" as people have tried to pull before. Usually when you are up and coming like that you are happy to do it for free for the exposure and the practice of playing in front of an audience.

Depends on who you are and what your deal with the venue is. With how record sales are most artists in general (not just hip-hop) are seeing a good % of their income from touring and merch sales.

 

[recklessofgilaz]

Also some venues make the openers sell tickets to the show if its at a bar or at a fairground and depending on how many tickets you sell the promoters & organizers of the event will keep you in mind for the next show and ask you to open up for bigger artists but its all about how much tickets you sell

 

[thizz]

Well as of today Kreayshawn is probally the highest paid per show Bay rapper. And that is not even really arguable as of today so she
makes great money off of shows. And this shit goes in cycles but right now it's her time in two years it might be somebody else's. But what needs to happen is more bay artist start taking their show serious and book, promote and run their shows more professionally and better venues with a lot more money will open up to em.
