In some cases I think producers make more than rappers. One advantage to being a producer is you can produce in theory for every rapper on the planet, without owing any of them any certain amount of allegiance or anything. Rappers at best can feature with unlimited amounts of other artists (or have others feature for them) but it's still very much a solo-oriented thing if you choose to be a rapper over a producer. And of course there's always the double talents, the ones who do both. I find the ones who do that are usually better producers than rappers, though, Kanye and Pharrell I am looking right at you.
