The hip-hop culture is always evolving and changing, and the current state of the industry has proven that there are multiple ways to get to the bag. Over the years, several artists have made millions from investments in clothing lines, alcohol brands (Jay Z, Diddy and Drake), technology companies (Eminem & Dr. Dre) as well as touring.

However, for independent hip-hop artists who don’t have access to these types of investments or opportunities it can be difficult to make money from streaming alone - with an average revenue per stream between $0.003 – $0.005 it would take 100k streams just for a rapper to make a minimum of $300-$500 dollars in revenue! That's why more rappers than ever before are turning their attention towards venture capital investment strategies such as real estate investing or cryptocurrency trading which provide greater returns on their capital over time compared with traditional income sources like streaming music services..

It makes perfect sense then that your favorite rappers are now becoming venture capitalists themselves: after all, if they want longevity within this genre they need reliable sources of income outside what streaming provides them.

This is a new day in Hip Hop culture; one where creativity meets financial savviness allowing our favorite emcees freedom both creatively musically but also financially speaking too! With technology shaping life itself while at the same time Hip Hop shapes social engagements, we should expect nothing less than seeing our idols become business moguls right alongside being platinum selling recording artist – after all why settle for anything less?

For the past decade, women reclaiming their sexuality has been a growing phenomenon, but is this actually the case? The vocabulary, gestures, and attire have progressed from sexy to rude and boorish. A culture's hypersexualization is increasingly permeating the mainstream and suburbs. This, in turn, influences how women of color are approached, treated, and seen.

Since the first macho guy took up a microphone, women have been oversexualized in rap. A gold necklace, stacks of money, and women as background props comprise the masculine rap startup kit. In the rap world, a "flex" is frequently described by unrestricted access to wealth and women. Success in the genre is a relatively new phenomenon.

This episode examines five decades of Hip-hop, it origins, growth and influence. Joining Africa Allah is veteran DJ, Cool V aka Vibez.
