HHMC – Hip Hop Music Classic News

The Question is often asked, how much do rappers make per Album.  You might be surprised to learn the answer, because believe it or not it is actually not all that much.  They make a whole lot more from their concerts.  Albums are really just a publicity item to attract people to their concerts.  Typically, rappers only make about 75 to 80 cents per album.  So even if they their album goes gold, which is rare, they only make about $400,000.  This is not chump change, but not has much as you would think. 

We have had several people ask the question regarding the circumstances around Rapper Nussie’s death.  Rapper Nussie, whose real name is Chris Jackson was killed by a teen from Louisiana – a kid by the name of Michael Louding.  This kid, believe it or not, is a suspected serial killer.  He is under suspicion of killing at least FIVE other people!!  But wait til you hear this – the kid is just a hired assassin.  The real killer is suspected to be none other than Torrance Hatch, aka the rapper Lil Boosie.  Boosie and Nussie have been known to butt heads in the competitive world of rap music.  Informants who work for the FED have testified that Lil Boosie sent out an order for a hit on Nussie.  Boosie is serving prison time for an unrelated charge currently.

Rapper Eve getting married? Her real name is Eve Jihan Jeffers.  She was born on Nov. 10, 1978.  She can have practically any man she wants, as long as he is submissive.  So it’s no surprise that rumors of her marriage keeps coming up from time to time, especially when she was spotted with a diamond ring on her ring finger earlier this year.  So we want to set the record straight.  Our latest information is that she is NOT married, but is dating an older white gentleman.

The question keeps coming up from time to time – Is Jay-Z a Mason?  Well, first of all, do you guys even know what a Mason is?  Let me whisper something in your ear – it’s not so bad!  Being a Mason is not a bad thing at all, in fact it is good.  Many of the founders of our country were Masons – including people like Benjamin Franklin.  The Masons have a love of our country and for our fellow man.  So relax, it is not some people-hating cult.  The answer is a big fat, NO.  He is not a Mason.  People only suspect he may be a Mason because he has used some symbols and imagery in his songs and videos that are also symbols of Masons.

Rapper Mystikal, real name Michael Lawrence Tyler, born 9/22/1970 is an American rapper from New Orleans, the big Easy.  A lot of readers are confused about exactly why he went to jail.  Well the quick answer is because of extortion and sexual battery.  What does that mean in layman’s terms?…it means that he forced his hairstylist to perform oral sex (with the help of his two bodyguards).  He was charged with Extortion on top of that because he admitted to it.  The details on the latter offense are sketchy.  Bottom line, he served 6 years in prison. 

In his unending attempts to redeem himself for crashing Taylor Swift’s VMA speech last year, Kanye wrote a song that he says is “…so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her”  Actually you can say that some of his tweets are that too.  Get a load of some of his latest tweets: “sometimes I push the door close button on people running towards the elevator. I just need my own elevator sometimes, my 7 floor sanctuary.”  or this, “in life, sometimes you have to ride the elevator alone.” or this, “When I woke up from the crazy nightmare, I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYA…I take responsibility for my actions.”  I wonder what Taylor makes of this?
