Rappers Who Rock Excessive Jewelry Has the Lowest Self-Esteem

[K.Dot]

Ive come to this realization recently. Everytime i see these rappers walking around in excessive jewelry i cant help but to wonder how little self esteem that person has to where they have to hide behind shiny jewelry.

Alot of these rappers come from environments where they are told that theyll never amount to shyt. Alot of these rappers come from hopeless environments where they grow to hate their own skin color and people who share their skin color. This is why white and lightskin women are common themes in rap videos.



Alot of these rappers grew up having extremely low self-esteem due to having no education/ work experience and or having to RESORT to drug dealing, being locked up and other low level activities.

Jewelry to alot of these rappers is their signal to society that they've "made it". It covers up their low self-esteem that theyve dealt with for their entire life and that they are no longer apart of the lower rungs of society.

But to me its like putting lipstick and a dress on a pig because of the ignorance of their music. Despite the flashy jewelry, the ignorant mentality is still their alot of the time. No amount of jewelry can mask an ignorant, low-level mentality.


Peace.

we always wore juelz and chaps breh

Because of royalty.

Nikkas today rock it because they think they are nothing without it.

I don't get the appeal of wearing jewelry, doesn't make you any smarter, taller, faster, stronger.... Materialism....

 

[Ol’Otis]

Look at me laugh at my competition flashing my jewelry

 

[Threnody]

Its corny...unless you MR.T or on run yo whole city on a street level on some don shyt

You gotta have something about you behind it where you can wear chains heavy and people respect it
Eric.B & Rakim pulled it off cause the paid in full posse was serious
If them chains the only thing that makes you..yeah it is a self-esteem problem and you most likely gonna get fukked up trying to feel good about yaself
You know how many of these old school emcees got robbed for they shyt? repeatedly
Slick Rick got a classic rapping about that

many reasons why people rock jewelry , can be seen as a milestone item too, which is one of the reasons why some rappers buy them , "i made it now" type of thing, you should see dmx's reasons for rocking chains, he's reason is different


Materialism has some over doing it for sure

 

[Scuti]

tbh i just want chanis/jewlery for the sounds they make when they clash together like pure ice
you can hear it on uzi in this video at around 59 seconds

Everything that's out here for kings like us. The reason why we like this—this jewelry and this diamonds and stuff—they don't understand, it's because we really from Africa. And that's where all this stuff come from. And we originated from kings, you know what I'm saying? So don't look down on the youngsters because they wanna have shiny things. It's in our genes, know what I'm saying? We just don't all know our history, so…"

some people over do it but Pimp said some shyt in regard to jewelry if you're smart with your purchase it will hold its value like a rolex or other type of watches the problem is when they flood it with diamonds and make it gaudy

 

[Kinguno]

All I know is they don't sell 24k like they used too

 

[Ron Fox]

Slick Rick got a classic rapping about that

he also said he got raped in prison in that song.

 

[ahdsend]

Me, I got no jewels on my neck
Why? I don't need 'em, I got your respect

 

[FS4LFE]

It ain't that deep. I'm rocking ice right now. Let people buy what they want. It's a lot worse things you could buy.

 

[god shamgod]

Never rocked chains/jewelry.In high school my boy got robbed he rocked a lot of jewelry/accessories these nikkas put a burna on him and took all his shyt

His herringbone,rings,cuban link,starter jacket,shoes,fitted,beeper his dough.He was walking down madison in his socks :goatcry:I'm good on that unnecessary attention

and dude was insecure as fukk but I disagree with the thread premise

 

[Swirv]

I disagree. It's fun to wear jewels. Sometimes they're heavy though. Gotta have balls to rock them and can't be a bytch. Let brehs/ettes enjoy they're life it's in our DNA.

 

[TransJenner]

But 2chainz is a smart guy with a college degree and is a good businessman. You should've posted another rapper if you wanted to get your point across
