Hate when rappers who had it EASY try to act like they had it hard.

Like j cole. You gotta FOUR YEAR DEGREE. You could quit rap right now and get a 6 FIGURE JOB.

Your mommy bought you $500 beat machines as a KID. YOU had it EASY stop acting like it was anything different.

"If you don't take chance how we gon get rich"

SMH stop talking like that. You were BORN rich. You never took no real chance.
as a suburban nikka myself, this is an ignorant post.

Just because he had a few things does not make him rich. The rest of my fam made different choices than my parents and most are still in the hood. But if you see these nikkas out and about, gucci belt, fresh clothes, jordans in all colorways, fitted galore, etc.

Just because someone grows up in a different area than the hood does not mean that their pockets were deeper. Some families choose location and quality of life with less money in their bank accounts than growing up in the hood splurging on things they don't need.

I would bet that cole had it a lot harder than you think. I grew up in a nice home in a nice area, but we weren't rich. I may have had an xbox and some games as a youngin, but trust I was on that one new pair of shoes a school year and 2 or 3 outfits new and thats all you get policy not unless my cuzzos in the hood.

He has pretty much laid out his step father as the one who brought in a decent check from the army, just like my parents.

Never once said he was rich in my post...

And I don't care what your situation is...if you are going to college it is not that bad...because you know...you are actually at an institution of higher learning...and there are much worse places to be in the world than that
:dwillhuh:
All it means is you are in college. You can still be poor, homeless, stuck between a rock and a hard place, pregnant, have kids, be on the run, anything, while in college. I know a CSU student who just got shot and killed summer break after his sophomore year :what:
All college means is you're trying to better yourself through education, it doesn't mean you aren't struggling. Plenty of college kids are supporting family members, working two jobs alongside a fulltime class schedule, selling drugs to get by :wow:
Where are you from where college means things are all good :skip:

I would say trying to better yourself through education means at worse you are in a position that you see a way out of the struggle...

And I know a 100 college kids who didn't get shot and killed during summer break of sophomore year...see how easy this is?

You want to rap about being poor and how hard you had it and you talking about momma working multiple jobs and you selling drugs to pay your way through school...fine...I will bit for a little bit...you want to rap about being in college by golly gee I am just so conflicted cause this college thing just aint for me and I just don't know if I want to be in a fraternity and man none of the cool kids take me serious and I just want to rap...nah...not for me

I feel like Cole's cocky attitude makes him sound like he's from some supergrimey hood. And that's why he comes of so fake to me.

true

J Cole has a fake chip on his shoulder

He in the same category as Drake as far as upbringing (both had White Mothers) but people give him a pass because they like him

So having a degree and a beat machine means you had it easy? Maybe his mom sacraficed and worked really hard so her son could have a sense of normalcy and explore his talents. Biggie and Jay's and Kanye's mom did the same thing for them. Bought them equipment to help them explore their talents?

Didn't Pac take ballet classes? I guess he had it easy too.

Didn't Cole's mom's house get foreclosed on? cause they couldn't pay the mortgage.

And he lived in a trailor park at some point of his childhood. So where is this idea that Cole had all this money coming from?

And getting a Four Year college degree doesn't guarantee you a high paying job.
