Ever Since Hip Hop Has Bee Around We Have Seen Many New York Rappers Take The Stage. New York City Seems To Be An Enormous Home

By Nick Durso


Usually, an artist that is mainstream today began writing or dabbling with music as a child. Many artists today seem to think that just because they have Pro Tools they can create music. There is more to music then that "One Hit Single" Being an artist includes; branding and planning. Music and hip hop require skills, talent, a team, and dedication. Just because New York artists have a show booked doesn't mean you will be successful.

One important thing artists must realize in order to stick around in the music industry is to get involved. Only very few rappers understand this concept. Some rappers just make a hit song then disappear forever. The ones who are the true entrepreneurs are the ones who re invest their money into businesses and grow and exceed to their maximum capacity.

If you are a New York music lover then you already know who 50 Cent is. 50 is one of my favorites. He was born back in 1975 and started rapping at a young age here in Jamaica, Queens. He has since won many awards and been recognized as one of the most influential hip hop artists of our time. 50 Cent has been in movies, owns the Vitamin Water Company, and is a legend to all New York music lovers. He has won a Grammy Award, Billboard Music Awards, plus more.

50 Cent is someone who understands the business side of hip hop. From rapping on the streets to becoming the CEO of a large company he has been a great self-starter and successful business man. His previous album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' has been the definition of 50 Cent. Another great hip hop legend many New York music lovers look up to, as an idol, is Jay-Z. Jay-Z is originally from Brooklyn, New York. Everyone who listens to hip hop knows who Jay-Z is. He has been around a very long time and has been influential to every hip hop artist in some way. Both Jay-Z and 50 Cent share some similarities. They not only are involved with music and the entertainment businesses, but Jay-Z is also a successful entrepreneur. Jay-Z has a net worth of over a half of a billion dollars. Sitting around $520 million I would say Jay-Z has been pretty successful with his business decisions.

From creating music to owning a portion of the Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z has come a long way. 50 Cent and Jay-Z are here to stick around as New York music lover legends. They both use their own money and reinvest it to make more money in other areas then hip hop. This is detrimental to any business decision. Jay-Z and 50 have both set up foundations to become who they are today.

New York City is a very difficult place to get ahead. For these two individuals they have exceeded their expectations and goals by becoming the best. Hopefully we begin to see new hip hop artists follow their footsteps and become just as successful entrepreneurs as Jay-Z and 50 Cent.
