I think that it is great that rappers can make so much money from branding themselves so good. Regardless of how good Jay-Z and Kanye West are with the musical craft, it definitely isn't just the flows that got them this BIG FAT CHECK. Three million dollars a piece...$6million for them both to perform at a party, which can't last more than a couple of hours. You know the kid really isn't want to hear their lyrics, but the fact that Kanye West, and Jay-Z (a.k.a Beyonce's Husband) is at her party...
Do you remember your Sweet 16? Mine was spent in my basement. And we're
pretty positive even the blingest bash on My Super Sweet 16 couldn't
compete with this one. How about paying $6 million for Jay-Z and Kanye
West (aka The Throne) to perform at your birthday bash? That's how much
Manchester Football Club owner, Sheikh Mansour, paid for the pair to fly out to Dubai so his niece and her guests could Watch the Throne.
Yeezy and Jay, who are nominated for a combined 10 awards at the 2012
Grammys--including Best Rap Album for their WTT collaboration and Best
Rap Song for "Otis"--performed both their collaborations and a few of
their respective solo hits at the pricey Sweet 16 party. (RapFix)
20 years ago, i don't know which rapper would have been able to command this much to appear at a kid's birthday party. Last year December, Rick Ross made a detour to perform a similar fit but for a Nigerian family. He had been at a Nigerian concert when he was approached by a father who proposed a deal that he fly Rick Ross off to another state in Nigeria from where he was performing to go and perform for his kid's 10 year old party for $100,000 ...i thought that was big, but this one with Jay and Kanye blew me away.
