I told dudes a long time ago there are situations you can put dudes in to find out if they really cut like that. This is one of those situations...
Look, I don't blame most people for not knowing any better. Most people not from this lifestyle, and most people in that lifestyle can fake the funk until they have to stand on their own two...
This was probably first time somebody shot at this nikka. I told cats years ago you could tell this guy was green if you're used to the lifestyle cats portray and the players within it. Every nikka with a gun is not a shooter, every guy who has shot someone isn't a shooter, everybody who tells you how tough they are, aren't...
Now I'll say this. I didn't keep up with this, I don't know if he got caught red-handed shooting or with the gun. It's natural for dudes to go in self-defense, self-preservation mode when they get hemmed up, but that doesn't mean the only way to defend yourself is to implicate the other guys...
DaBaby is not like that. The character he portrays, is not how he was living before celebrity. The streets in his hometown don't recognize him the way he describes himself, and anybody who really been around can see it on dudes if you listen to them talk----->not rap, because everybody sounds tough when they rap. Listen to how dudes talk and watch their body language in normal interviews and how they respond to situations and questions asked of them...
These nikkas tell on themselves but you gotta know what to look for. And the streets speak for you, everybody knows this. If you're from that lane the streets will know it and validate that, period..
