If you were a rapper that was hot 15 years ago, what would you're game plan be?
1. To hire some hot producers and try to be hot again
2. Go on tour at nightclubs that hold 300 people and perform your old hits
3. Open up for somebody that's still hot from 15 years ago that can still draw a crowd (Jay Z, Nas, T.I. etc.)
4. Quit rapping and do something else
I almost made this a poll

Depends on exactly how hot I was 15 years ago
Probably just sit back and spend that ringtone money
After I invest some and put some up for my lil girl college fund, of course -
Tour overseas like the classic groups from back in the days do now namely; wu tang clan and dem franchise boys

4 makes the most sense
If you had 5 years of being "hot" in the music industry then you beat the odds. A smart artist would use that platform to get money in other lanes -
Tour overseas.

2 or 4
-
5) Tour Europe, Asia & Australia and large indie festivals make bank.
6) Diversify my bonds. -

Especially the 90s rappers, they are smashing it in Europe and Asia... -
Depends on how old I am 15 years later.

most likely 4,
but for the sake of having a good answer, instead of your options, I would do some Jay Electronica-style marketing.
I'd spend some time putting together some 1-2 minute snippets of me going off with samples from all kinds of movies as the intros. I would film quick videos of me freestyling surrounded by indigenous peoples in random locations around the world. Basically I would do my best to create an aura of mysticism around myself. When the hype starts building up I would also show my unreleased album to various industry figures and one famous actor at the time so they can randomly tell interviewers who didn't even ask that they have heard my album and its going to change everything.
