Has Pocket Watching Become the Latest Trend?

I'm not living vicariously through them. I am well aware that there is a strong possibility that I will never have what Kodak got. But I can't be happy for dude
The news told me people like him would be dead or swallowed by the beast before 21. And this man is 19 and enjoying his life, instead of terrorizing his community! And I'm corny for being happy for him

I never said you can't be happy for dude. But the people who get in their feelings about people who just look down on stunting are no better than the full on jealous lames. You can be happy for dude without living vicariously through him just like I can think stunting is ridiculous without being jealous.

It's deeper than the surface...

What demographic usually flashes money and cars? Black men? Yes...but not just regular black men...the sub culture is what brings the flossing...

The Rappers, Actors, Social Media stars, Drug Dealers, Pimps, Prostitutues and IG models etc of ALL races participate in these antics simply because it promotes thier brand in said avenue to gain more connections for revenue...people gravitate to lavish things and in those avenues it's all about gaining a hype to sell your product....

Because most of these fly by night rappers don't reinvest into anything substantial. For me it's not the money as much as it is wasted potential. Like I said in another thread, nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor, but you gotta plant seeds as well for your family and future generations.

That's a reasonable complaint, but it's something the black community needs to address as a whole. But I think we're waking up. Who would've ever thought Gucci Mane would make a song about "Buying Back the Block"? Even if he doesn't put his words into action, it shows we're becoming more aware, which is a step in the right direction.

There's a difference between finding it corny and wanting these guys to fail to massage your ego. If I had a dime for every mf who said Chief Keef was going back in 2012. And Sosa still living good damn near 5 years later

It's not pocket watching
It's people understanding both them dudes come from poor backgrounds, don't know how to build WEALTH, and waste money on deprecating assets like custom jewelry and expensive cars.
When I see shyt like this I legit feel sorry for them because I know they are wasting an opportunity to build generational wealth. The need to flaunt comes from low self esteem caused by being dirt poor. It's crazy cause it's another trap set by white supremacy. Even when they get money some people are so damaged mentally by the effects of white supremacy they give all the money right back to white people and end up broke again

These guys are all liquid and spend their money on butter. It's thousands of rappers and athletes who were flashing stacks of money a few years ago living in the same room that they grew up in now from not investing their money wisely. They build big houses made of straw instead of small ones made of bricks. The grab exotic cars and get drowned in the upkeep and waste money that could be put to better use.

It's not pocket watching. If you watch me flush hundred dollar bills down the toilet because I got it like that and you don't, you not going to claim I'm just having fun with my money. What we're watching most of the time is dudes flushing money down the toilet

If that's what they want to do, alright.


I'd suggest cracking open a book on financial investing.

You sound dumb as shyt my dude. I mean literally, like you don't have a high level of education and no reasoning ability. Have the last word if your rebuttals on that level

 

[Bald Head Ba$tard]

people been telling people how to live. doesn't matter if you're paid or broke, SOMEONE has the remedy to your situation

Well those people in today's society do that thru the internet all day.

 

[Bald Head Ba$tard]

You can't even call it criticism tho. Majority of people are just tryna predict they downfall to make them feel better about being broke right now

That's basically all it is. #iCantBeFooled
