You could say that about professional sports (and college sports now, too). It's only about the money. Not about the game. And who can blame someone for dropping out to make easy money in rap or selling drugs or in sports - our world revolves around money, money, money. Money is the only thing worth anything in life, if we're honest. If you have to kill cheat and/or compromise yourself, DO IT. Get that money at all costs, dammit!!!!
easy money in rap or selling drugs or in sports
One of these is not at all like the others. In what world is it easy making money from sports or rapping??
The world where I live. College athletes are now getting paid tons of money just to endorse products. And rap music (which is imbecilic to me) is apparently an easy avenue to make money. Oh you have to work a bit for it, sure - but it's lucrative.
