I gotta get at Ka

[Zero]

How is it spin. He has a job and never hid it. Stunning! I remember having a convo here or somewhere else about this back when Grief Pedigree came out. Just talking about the interesting dynamic of rappers who have real jobs. This was around the time that Bronson and his crew were bubbling up, talking about being a chef. AG The Coroner was talking about how he was a real coroner. Ka being a firefighter. I thought that shyt was fascinating.

Exactly. shyt is retarded. Like you can't come up hard, then finally get a decent job or some shyt

don't even care about none of this though. fukk nikka just saw the album coming out and thought to himself, "how can I get some attention from the Booth today "

He is right,yall love questioning the credibility of gangsta rappers and calling them out for not living the life no more,or at all....but never get at these conscience rappers about not living the life of conscience men....alot of these nikkas rap that conscience shyt because they have to,they dont have the charisma or background to be convincing in the gangsta rapnarena,its purely a money grab.....but yall never seem to question it

I aint talkin bout Ka,he's wack for being two faced with the cops....in the article he acknowledged he living a double life trying to play both sides.

Somehow you understood the overall point while the rest of these dudes rambled around the issue. I wonder why that is

let's not split hairs here, breh.

It's about the image Ka portrays. Bottom line is that he's not rapping about his present life/situation. His whole angle is "monk-like, seen-it-all OG", which probably never happened to dude. Then you find out he and his wife are making good money, owning property. Isn't that pimping the lives/stories/misery of the hood? Isn't that "you witnessed it from your folks' pad, scribbled it in your notepad and created your life" type shyt?

We diss Nas for that type of shyt (and rightfully so in certain instances) but at least Nas is
a) brilliant
b) he was one of the first rappers to take that approach

Fastforward ten to twenty years later, Ka is wearing the same stale suit and talking about the same ol crime-in-the-hood shyt to line his pockets. And let's not pretend like he makes it obvious he works for the law. Y'all can miss me with that.

Besides, my point is really aimed at arrogant underground heads who swear anything semi-popular is fraudulent and image-driven while being fraudulent and image-driven themselves. Just on a much smaller and crappier level.

I don't think you understand what Is happening.

When you get processed to work at a nyc city job you basically have three days of paper work to fill out.

Some of the most important paperwork is swearing that you will never talk to the media while in uniform...And that you never do anything to bring bad press or put the organization or city in a bad light

Not a big deal.

I understand the Rick Ross thing, you can't be a CO and a gangsta rapper.....but a firefighter?

Why not though? One of my co-workers is a retired corrections officer on Riker's Island and he told me he knew dirty C.O.'s that might as well have been the ones behind bars.

You can be a C.O. and do all types of corrupt shyt, make criminal connections in the jails, do shyt on the side when you're not working.

Sam Hurd was playing in the NFL and hosting radio shows, college educated dude but was moving major weight on the side. Why can't a C.O. be in the drug game?

OK breh. So which one is it? Ka didn't make it obvious he was working for the law because he couldn't (due to paperwork) or he made it obvious and nikkas like me are reaching?

And as I've said, the main issue is the 'money grab' nature of 'real hip hop' that NEVER gets questioned by the same frauds who question mainstream hip hop all the time. Given the responses in this thread, people will continue to dodge that issue.

So you believe you can be a C.O and just walk around doin dirt all day...That nikka had to toss a few cells,write up a few nikkas for contraband,had to tell on a few nikkas while he was there....according to Ross fans he was a independent contracter C.O, who just came into the prisons and did aaaallll the dirt he wanted to and went home

What self righteous pedestal will they stand on? if they favorite rappers is in this game for the cash just like the artist they hate, who dont mind admitting that

Its about time fans of conscience hiphop,and emo hiphop get confronted with the fact they been following false prophet creflo dollar,Mason Betha ass nikkas....and its even worse for them,because of the condemnation that comes from the self righteous fans,and artist themselves.

i wish more would get called out,I sure remember them not wanting to talk about Kendrick and his choice of girlfriend either

 

[bordeaux]

i hear testing and process to become a firefighter is extremely hard. good for him.

The Fire department is not the law

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

The Fire department is not the law

mental retardation is at work here @SirBiatch you really starting to sound like @Malcom Rhyme King

 

[Drip Bayless]

Y'all gotta stop giving attention.
The only reason he's still on this site is cause he's still able to bait y'all with this dumbass intentionally provocative shyt.

 

[eastsideTT]

at "money grab" acting like Ka is rapping to line his pockets. It's all a big scam and he's a shill. He's laughing all the way to the bank riding shotgun in the fire truck counting his fan's hard earned money

you serious? it's blatantly obvious he's rapping because he likes to and isn't doing it for money. obvious because he openly states he has a day job, and that he's creating music he likes that is the exact opposite of what sells right now. he comes out of pocket for album roll outs and those vinyl pressings and what not. people are in here acting like it's 1998 and he's seeing high returns on album sales and shyt. give me a break.

he earns a decent, middle class salary (for NY standards) and was lucky and more importantly smart enough to cop a piece of property before the neighborhood blew up. got a nice life carved out for him and his wife and creates art he likes in his free time that other people happen to like as well to the dude. that's a win by any standard

at people on here not realizing that people make music because they enjoy doing it, or even bc they feel like they HAVE to do it as a release. there are people out there, believe it or not, that rap because its not a career choice but its something they enjoy. people like "he's 40 he should stop trying to be a rapper" trying? he IS a rapper. and he'd be rapping regardless of whether or not anyone knew about him. it just happens that he's nice enough to build up a fan base.

some of the close minded shyt i read on here has me sometimes. its easy to tell who lives in a bubble on here. "well if he's not spitting in the faces of the cops he deals with through his job, he shouldn't be rapping about them"

 

[Man On Fire]

if NY Post's allegations are true, this shyt is precisely why smart people can't take a lot of underground rappers seriously. Y'all 'real hip hop' nikkas stay talking about 'keeping it real' while supporting frauds, sometimes heinous frauds like Bambaataa. Add this to the fact that 99% of these underground acts make shytty music, and the 'we real hip hop' arrogance becomes

Why would Ka hide that he's a firefighter if he supposedly makes real ass music about himself and his life? You see dude in videos looking bummy and downtrodden, but he's stacking. I don't have a problem with you repping the downtrodden especially if you came from that, but I have a problem with the lack of transparency.

You weirdos will stay up all night and day making thread after thread about 6 Krishna without realizing that
a) all the shyt you accuse Drizzy of can easily be applied to some of your favorite rappers.
b) putting a rapper's image before his/her music is for suckas and dummies. You are no different from Beyhive listeners or whoever you hate on.

Never liked Ka anyway. Dude can write, and has a better pen game than most in this weak ass generation, but his beats and voice leave much to be desired. shyt is too low-energy for me. That audio book shyt can

Get in your feelings if you must

Breh you and I know 95% of the independent or underground rappers are gigging on the side so get

Plus Ka probably makes less that 10k a year on his music earnings...dude spitting from the heart. NY Post continues to be the bottom of the barrel.
