frick that dude. I was a bell hop at the Hilton in BR in the late 80’s. He and his entire massive crew were staying there. They had 50+ suitcases and bags.

No a penny tip.

He was in Vegas for a month and he went broke passing out tips to all the staff at the hotels and casinos, he especially tipped the Bellhops.

I wonder how much streaming services like Spotify can help resuscitate the finances of people like Hammer.

That sounds about right.

He legitimately wanted to take care of everyone around them. Of course, there were just too many people with their hands out.

That’s actually why he came out with the more edgy pumps in a bump.

Very little unless Spotify or another platform just buys their catalog outright.

It takes an astronomical amount of plays to make big money from the streaming services.
