Bun-B: First let me say this, because I am really trying to impress this upon the young people, and I don’t know how young the average person that reads Allhiphop.com is but I do know the majority of them want to be in the music industry at some point. Let me make this very clear, there are no rich rappers. Let me say that again, there are no rich rappers.There are rappers who have gotten rich through other entities. When you look at Jay-Z, Jay-Z is not rich through Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z is rich through Roc-A-Wear clothing. Puff Daddy is not rich through Bad Boy Records, Puff Daddy is rich through Sean John Clothing. 50 Cent is not rich through G-Unit Records, even though all these people made good money, I’m not saying these people didn’t make millions on music, I’m saying 50 Cent got rich through G-Unit Clothing and Vitamin Water. You have to put a slash after your title right now, because the s**t don’t pay like that. Even when it paid like that, it ain’t pay like that, now it don’t pay like that. You got like three n****s that’s getting good checks right now, and them n****s trying to get out of rap. They trying to do movies and s**t. What does that tell you? I feel bad because there’s a hundred times the number of kids that want this dream than when I wanted this dream because of the way television has sold this dream.AllHipHop.com: There has to be a place to draw the line though.I feel bad for n****s because, I be wanting to tell n****s don’t get in the game. But I can’t tell a n***a not to chase his dream; I don’t want to seem like a dream crusher. But Ihate to see these n***s with no sense of reality. It’s almost like they throwing their [money] away for something that ain’t really there, that s**t is a façade. Them n****s never gave themselves another out, I tell them 30 year old n****s now, if you haven’t smoked that part of your brain yet, n***a get your ass in school.
