Smarten up, Rappers

In case you’re wondering why Chamillionaire always ends up on Forbes’ Hip-Hop Cash Kings list without selling a crazy amount of records, this video offers some insight. It’s worth noting that Cham had an unlikely advantage, seeing as he was already raking in revenue from his lucrative car customization business, Fly Rides, prior to his breakout in ‘05. He simply used hip-hop as a launchpad to catapult himself to the next level. When he got there, he diversified his ventures further. That might explain why the lackadaisical chart performance of his brilliant sophomore album didn’t rattle him too much.

Good information chamillionaire…I knew this dude was smart.
Did that lady develop a heavy southern accent round the end of the video or is it just me??

2. David Says:

She’s from Virginia and it’s pretty evident throughout. I found the guy the most entertaining though, with terrible comments like “that’s why your not called chathousandaire”
