I wonder about groups like JMT who have been around for a long time and still push out content. Seems like they and many others have a built a strong enough following to live a regular blue collar life + travelling. I don't think they are caking it in.
The underground scene is so volatile, I'd fear for my future when I can't do it anymore. You never see rappers performing in their 60s like you do some of these rockstars.

Back when I worked at Burger King, I asked my black coworkers why they didn't listen to old school rap like white people listened to classic rock, and I was generally told that when black people drop something, they don't pick it back up. Which is why dances made up by black people only last a certain amount of time before being completely and utterly forgotten, except by goofy white people who like to embarrass themselves at weddings and on Youtube. I've never seen anything to contradict this, so I'd have to assume that's why rappers who don't have white audiences aren't still around.
