Rappers been bragging about their money and what they do with their money forever and a day but outside of the typical buying fancy cars, jewlery, and houses has anyone gone to major extremes. I know Puff got himself a person man servant (farnsworth Bently) but anybody else flexin their ballin' muscles like that? (potential ayo)

Lots and lots of framed Scarface movie poster reproductions?
not extravagant enough. I'm wondering if dudes hire people to hold their drinks for them, or to keep their ice cubes cold.
Anybody got a personal fluffer
next level type shit
I'm waiting for a rapper to do a geico commecial.
"My new LP just went double wood... But I saved a bundle on my..."
I'm guessing theres under 10 "Rappers" out there making "real" money.
...with the candy coated helicopter...
you see but I don't think none of these dudes actually have a helicopter. [andrea]I want to know the true[/andrea]
maybe he uses his gold tank to drive around NO and not help Katrina victims.
I'm surprised SS favorite pseudo rap life stylist hasn't chimed in. I'm sure that next to his UGK pin up posters D****l has a "get like my favorate rappers" list.
off the top I would expect out of control finances from:
50Cent
Ludacris
Jay-Z
Baby of Cash Money
Dr. Dre
Jermaine Dupri
Possibly Dame Dash?
well I agree that they are rich, but do they floss their riches in extravagant ways?
Having a helicopter = extravagant
having your money diversified in IRA's, stocks, bonds, and other assets = being smart
I don't sleep very well, but it looks fabulous.
They did a segment on his pimpin' London pad on Cribs. Dude had mad chicas in the hottub. Definitely balling.
I'm only 25.
Something tells me these dudes aren't exactly stashing their money in mattresses.
I'm in massive debt, have a broke-ass car, haven't bought shoes in 6 months, and often dip into my savings account for rent. However, I did just get a copy of the '5 Ounces of Soul', so in my private mind garden I'm way out in front.
Who to? If giving up 50% of your publishing is a pre-requisite of signing a record deal with Interscope, I'd sign with someone else. That's some 1950's Hesh Rabkin-type shit, and it doesn't make any sense to me. A co-publishing deal with a major publisher is one thing, but even then you'd get your songs back at some point, and your co-publisher would normally only retain the publisher share of BMI/ASCAP etc at the end of the term.
That was rented. He fell behind on the rent too, so he got emptied out.
Ahhh, the glamorous life.
TI owns a number of businesses, is that not stereotypical enough for you Adam?
has any rap millionaire ever been sighted balling out on ebay vinyl like marcofunk???
ooh, I just thought of one...
Wrong. You may resent cam for pushing the bentley but I doubt the blue collar dudes employed by bentley share that resentment.
And also purchases/collects fine art, from what I heard. Would that be considered extravagance?
Collecting is never extravagant.
As long as you post your finds on the internet
If not, look for him to declare bankruptcy.
Either that, or reissue the complete works of Biggie as a lavish CD box set.
This is just uninformed hate. Puff is getting more money than ever. He no longer relies upon music, nor is he particularly interested in it.
Please believe that if he were to shift his focus back to music, he would very quickly be on top of the game again.
