Juvenile Comments on State of Hip Hop

Former Cash Money Records signee and Hotboyz member, Juvenile recently commented on the state of hiphop, and surprisingly, his comments were not positive. He complains about not making as much money as he used to. I guess that is how the game go, everybody has their time, and it is all about how you use your time that really counts.

I can remember 1999-2000, when he was the hotest member of the group, hotboyz which also had Lil Wayne, B.G, and Young Turk. I was a huge fan of his music back then, but i guess nothing last forever.

Read what he had to say about the state of hiphop below-

Juvenile came up as one of the flagship artists for Cash Money Records, but the game ain’t the same for the Louisiana rapper. Juvy recently explained how money doesn't flow like it used to, and that hip-hop artist aren’t the only ones feeling the sting.

“I wish it was making more money, man. I can’t judge cats out there who doing they thing,” he told Southern Smoke TV. “Of course, I’m a [Lil] Wayne fan first, and everybody else fall behind that. But it’s a whole lot of rap that’s not good rap out there. Probably better music than my era but they not getting paid for it. I wish there was another way we could get some revenue in. The show money ain’t even like it was because street niggas ain’t eating like they used to eat.”

He continued by explaining the trickledown effect that low revenue can have on club owners. “It’s ugly all the way around,” he stated. “I’ll show you where it hurts us now. Of course, a lot of those cats are the cats who spend money on booking us shows and buying music. But when all that’s sold out, it kind of hurts man, especially the club owners saying they ain’t making no money because they ain’t selling no alcohol. All of that is kind of a trickledown effect for what’s going on right now.”
