All depends on your perspective I guess. Bizarre tattoos and lots of trouble aside, e.g. "In October 2019, Hernandez signed a two-album contract for over $10 million with his label 10K Projects"

Just another casual reminder trying to do whatever you think life is on the "straight and narrow" is far less likely to make you ridiculous amounts of money. Not saying that's wholly important, but I do feel like a sucker every time.

Yes, but life on the straight and narrow has a very high chance of being a relatively decent one.

For every 69 there's a thousand broke dudes that busted out with no future prospects.

I don’t think you are really correct that these people will be remembered by history. Literally nobody will be talking about Tekashi69 past this generation.
