lifes about looking after you and yours.
get as much money from middle class white folks as you can.
if you gotta sell lies then do it, none of these rap dudes fool me as I know they are out here hustling.

If you knew that these dudes are out here hustling, rappers being frauds wouldn't shock you in the slightest.

The issue is he doesn't do that...all these nikkas out here selling tons of coke and the one nikka you worried about exaggerating is some tragic mulatto? :laugh:

Dude said his would say racist shyt around him because his dad, and his brothers dads were abusive and drug addicted like she was, that doesn't sound fun, nor does it sound fabricated.

As for how hard of an area bumfukk whatever the hell is..I don't give a fukk what off-brand city you live in, it's bound to be pockets of gangs and poverty there. He ain't said anything remotely outrageous to have to read anymore into it.

I don't wanna say he a fraud because I'm not sure what he is trying to be.....

But his shyt don't sound sincere or like it's coming from a real place.... And that goes for his music, videos, interviews, etc... He can definitely rap, but whenever I hear something from him I tend to forget about it and never revisit it.
He just doesn't rap from the perspective of someone who grew up the way he did

From what I remember gang related was told through his brothers point of view, and I really dont hear much tough talk from him.

He has a Mo County Caccent, his brothers have the universal "DMV urrea" type speech. You can tell he wasn't around them or his father...
He's from the same town as Wale, but still talks different...went to the same school, etc.
Son hung out with cacs and lived in a very safe part of a very safe suburb. Not even what could be considered the "hood" of Gaithersburg. Somebody had some money, that company paid for promo, he got a lil help from a breh of mine on the rap/beats tip...and here we are today.
A Drake-esque assembly line version of Kendrick and J Cole...He did some shows w/ Phil Ade...and the association was what got him kinda known in the dmv...phil ade still there. Posters on the metro bus.

Just like Duckworth heard "Brenda's Got A Baby" and tried to replicate it with none of the experiences.

Who really cares if Logic is a fraud? The 3 biggest rappers in modern hip hop, Drake, J Cole and Rubber Ducky, are massive frauds in their own corny ways. Depending on the type of cornball you are, you'll overrate their work as anything more than mediocre.
How's J Cole a fraud, breh?

DC don't even have gangs...and that part of maryland REALLY doesn't. Maybe some fake bloods here or there but there is no "gang culture"...unless you wanna talk about migos and he is not one.

DC has crews/mobs and before Chocolate City became Vanilla Village they got down about as hard gangs did. Ask about 14th and Clifton, 1-7... etc.

I really just seems like you're thinking about the shyt way too hard...especially seeing how in his interviews and in his music he makes it clear he's not a street cat, the track in question is not a first person account.

It's like what are you really trying to debate or read into...nikkas really get perplexed by dude because of his racial make up it seems.
Thank you. Why yall cant just listen to music and enjoy it without coming to these far gone conclusions? The thing is he never came off as a street cat. Everyone who had it rough growing up isnt some sort of thug acting like they know the ins and outs of the hood and he doesn't even come close to coming off that way so I don't even see the point in the thread. He pretty much tells you on the first album what he's about and the drug issues in his family. I swear a lot of yall seem to not associate with people who don't look like yall or have different life experiences from your own. All poor people don't look a certain way or have to be a "certain color".

even if I went into depth about why I think J Cole is a fraud, would you read it? considering your avi
I'm genuinely interested. He doesn't talk that tough guy shyt, he doesn't claim to be from any notorious areas and all that shyt. I'm just wondering, in what sense is he a fraud? I just can't think of anything:manny:

Come on. I know his background. Did he grow up in the slums? No, but Deer Park isn't "Very safe". You got a lot of suburban crackheads, section 8 and knuckleheads around there. Logic didn't have no damn money.. he worked at Joe's Crab Shack and was damn near homeless for awhile. Wale went to Quince Orchard High School and Logic went to Gaithersburgh High. Two different schools and Quince Orchard is way more "upscale".
