Do you not hear Meth questioning where they are getting this money from? You really think they out here owning private jets and are generating enough money to support the lifestyle they are portraying?
All this was explained on documentaries they did on artists back in the 2000's. Artists would talk about how the jewelry and the cars were rented and the money they were taking flicks with wasn't even their money.
Thing is, these artists feel pressure to portray these things. So they literally go broke trying to show off, with things they don’t even own or can afford. It's really the dumbest shyt ever, but it's always been an issue in Hip Hop. The need for the
look. I've seen so many rappers try to get advance extensions from labels because they blew the initial payout on jewelry and cars, and now don’t have enough bread to cover studio time for the album.
