Is Tricking En Vogue?

[Poitier]

I'm that shoulder they can lean on

Where do you find these girls to trick on? Your ego and pride doesn't take a hit? You don't feel bad targeting poor women? Do your family and friends know?

 

[L&HH]

When did society go from dealer to junkie, playa to trick?

I fukks with him but let's be real Lil Wayne introduced all of this. "It ain't tricking if you got it". It was happening before him but he was really on record championing it.

 

[PhonZhi]

Damned right I done had a FEW "friends with benefits" type situations


Pay the little phone bill or shoot her a little something for some groceries every so often.

We both get what we want , and I DAMN sure don't want nothing serious.

Tell her straight up what you looking for and you'd be surprised how many chicks out there will be down and actually will be taken aback by the honesty.

If the woman already likes you without the money, and you fukking her good and taking care of her

I don't consider this tricking.....thats patriarchy.

Its the situations where the woman wouldn't acknowledge a man's existence if not for the money that have me

OP I know you hate Ben, but where’s the proof he buys p*ssy?

In this image driven society it’s all about the results, don’t matter how you obtained it, or whether it’s real or not. As long as you got it, who cares about self-respect.

The more inequality increases in this country, the more people will be willing to whore themselves for anything to get ahead...and somebody will always be willing to pay.

Generally, I think dudes brag about the means to, just like any other silly thing folks who got it do.

And some regions seem to be big on it. 2 Detroit college homies of mine used to trick heavy and be proud. One hustled & threw money around all day, everyday, on the homies too though. Came back to school each summer in whatever SUV was hot that year. The other's family had bread.

I guess it's how you're brought up. I'm from pre-gentrified Brooklyn. We prided ourselves on usin' nothin' but words & appearance, not always by choice.

Common sense bruh

He has a continuous roster of women who all are on rotation with other athletes and rappers

In a situation like Ben Simmons or Drake, they're high profile attractive men

The women they're tricking on would fukk them without them spending money, the money just reinforces the power dynamic for nikkas that don't have a super strong pimp hand and that #HOH charisma.

Not a Drake fan but that "Don't make me send you back to the hood" is real shyt. Doesn't even have to be the literal "hood", just "don't make me send you back to the lifestyle you were living before I bossed you up".

Coming from a dude that literally grew up looking up to pimps, very few men have the tools to keep a wide range of women in check just off their mouthpiece and game.

p*ssy is just to easily thrown at you when you look good, take care of hygiene, etc. I could never.

But it ain't tricking if you got it.


But is going out on dates and paying for movies and shyt just to smash tricking also?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Social Media really exposed the people we put on a pedestal with a god complex. How times have changed...

How is the sex? Seems like they'd be into far less

 

[StarGirl]

Wet p*ssy and dry purse don’t match

 

[Londilon]

They are tricking on baby mamas now too.

I posted about this in the booth once, hood culture varies from region to region

Spending so much time listening to regional hip-hop, it's funny how hood culture is for the most part the same but there are a few things that different regions have very different perspectives on.

• Like in Detroit/New Orleans rap being a "shooter" isn't really a big part of their rap versus Chicago/New York hip-hop. nikkas are more likely to rap about putting money on somebody head or paying somebody to shoot somebody for them. I would add in Baton Rogue too but they seem to have a 50/50 blend of doing your own work and paying nikkas to do it for you.

• In Bay Area/LA hip-hop paying for p*ssy is sacrilegious, while in Detroit/Atlanta hip-hop its pretty normalized (pimp culture vs. D-Boy culture I guess).

• Houston/Atlanta/LA hip-hop kinda paint robbing in a sympathetic light, while in Detroit hip-hop it seems robbing is looked down upon even in the streets.

• I know causal hard drug usage like cocaine, sherm, even heroin was extremely common in West Coast and Southern hip-hop, but I can't really think of too many East Coast/Midwest artist opening up about casual drug use outside of Bone Thugs, Twista, and a few Beanie Sigel verses.

Honestly I don't think hip-hop is the best indicator of a hood's culture, but it does paint of image of what is considered aspirational in each region. Any other differences you've notice?
