Never understood this. You pay for street protection, for what ? If / When shyt doesn't pop off, what you paying for ? Save money, and don't live in LA. Be a regular R&B dude, do performances in the city here and there. I doubt John Legend or Keith Sweat had to check in for hood passes. Lol.

L.A is where the action is. They can't stay away.

He's from as far away from La as you can get w/o leaving the country. He's from Topahannack (sp?) Virginia


Didn't he live in Harlem too before he got a deal? I remember hearing stories of him living out there for years

It's possible. He signed to Jive when he was like 15 so he couldn't have spent too much time in Harlem. According to wiki he didn't move from VA until high school, once he was signed.

Exactly... back in the days nikkas would had to do some work in the streets

Ol bow wow wow yippie yo yippy yay ass nikka claiming Piru? :what:


Bhris "kiss kiss, excuse me miss" Brown in blood gang too? :childplease:

them bloods looking real funny in the light:heh:


its not even about extortion money anymore..cause let's be honest...thier really isn't any big money in the music game anymore

it's more of a case of gang sets associating themselves with celebrities to legitimize and also bring noteriety to thier presence

kinda like BMF and jeezy ...Meech admitted the whole intent was to piggyback off of Jeezy's wave as a way to get certified in the industry

which is cool if you going to go full blown LEGIT..but dumb if you still gonna keep it street

cause you can't play both sides of the fence

we seen that recently with the GD's down in ATL that got rounded up whom had cosigned Offsett of the Migos and Lil Scrappy

the feds don't give a flying fukk about the celebs that can vouch for you...your criminal activiites are still gettting prosecuted regardless :camby:

and the sad truth is...those same celebs wont' lift a finger to help you...cause they aint about that life :smh:

its not just the USA for that matter.....

i remember back in the 90s and early mid 2000s you couldn't go to a dancehall event without hearing Dudas the don of the Shower Posse...his name being shouted by a reggae toaster or singer...

he even put on shows such as his infamous Presidential Click held in his "turf" Tivoli Gardens and even settled disputes like the war between MOVADA and KARTEL which pittted the Gaza vs. the Gully camps

yet when he got hemmed up a few years back by the International Police, FBI and Scotland Yard in a joint effort to send him to prison...

not one of dem rassclatt artists could be of any assistance....

so it's best as charlemagne said for both parties GANGSTAS and ARTISTS to stay in thier lane

or do it like them white boys did back in the rat pack era with Sinatra and the Mafioso.......

mob boys stayed in the background ..while Sinatra sang......and everybody is happy :hug:

In Bow Wow's case I can understand it. Dude has been looked at as soft all his life and he doesn't really have the size to handle himself if some shyt popped off in the club. He lives in L.A and would look even softer if he had a bodyguard everywhere he went. I don't understand Chris Brown doing it because he has the physical capability to handle himself and being viewed as a soft R&B nikka is more profitable than being a bad boy. Babyface always made more money than Bobby Brown.
Face made more money cuz his behind the scenes /writing. Shyt to do with image
