What's always interesting about hip hop is how blinged out and filthy rich rappers are almost instantly, while the average rock musician at the same level isn't nearly as lucky as a rapper. Tehy are more at the mercy of record label execs., and making pennies on the dollar.
Look at a band like The Killers. Their album sold pretty well, they're well dressed guys and all, but you frequently hear Brandon Flowers say in magazine articles "We're not rich like people expect us to be." He says he still drives the same beat up old Honda when he's home and hasn't indulged himself in much because, again, they don't have the money they think they do.
So what's the deal then with rappers and instant wealth?
