Hes like nikkas on here, thinking cuz they love street cats or be around em, theyre one too somehow:mjlol:
Aint done no illegal shyt but listen to music about it thinking they live the shyt:mjlol:
I'm confused how you run with street nikkas but not a street nikka? You confusing criminal activity with street life. Everybody is the streets ain't real criminals.

This. Folks trying to front like theyve been checking for Kanyes verses now
Nikkas like hearing Kanye rap

Dude was on Def Jam Poetry or whatever it was called doing spoken word, acapella raps the people ate it up

Kanye is/was entertaining as a rapper he’s a persona his flow, humor, vocal inflections, cadence is what people liked on top of his relatable bars and song themes the nikka got classic verses

Don’t know why y’all keep fronting

Being around doesnt equal running with. You can live in the hood and still be a square breh. By your logic, Justin Bieber is a street cat cuz he chose to slum it and act hood at one point. Fact Im making is that Kanye isnt street and lives vicariously through actual street folks much like many do on here. That simple.

Nah, street nikka nikkas got you wet in the 2000s. Like the average college aged Becky, in the 2000s.:heh: I grew up around white girls like Kanya

He fit that lane well tho…

Talib is corny tho


I've said this story here a few times. I met gkweli at a barber shop on U street in DC. He was cool and all. But I told him. Bruh you had that song where you say y'all pronounce my name Kweli... I told him it's not Kwa. It's kwe .. like the way spanish vowels are pronounced. Then I told him the word means truth.. and he's like yeah yeah. In Ghanaian right? I'm like bruh it's Swahili :gucci:
Like it blew me he didn't know how to pronounce his own name or know what it meant or where it was from. Still was on of my favorite rappers at that time. And still an overall good dude. Was low-key walking around with no security. Nobody even noticed it was him.

He comes across as a lame in person to be honest and a try hard that’s pretentious. And that story just proves the point. It’s crazy cuz a lot of these super lyrical dudes or backpack rappers or either socially awkward or supreme a$$holes. I’ve heard mad stories about black thought being a dikkhead and that dudes one of my favorites.

Kanye never came across as a backpack rapper
To me he was the first suburban rapper

this... folks don’t get it. Even if he wasn’t the first rapper from the suburbs or to live what folks might think as a suburban life, this was his audience. He always explained this he spoke to the demo that had family in the hood but didn’t grow up there and wanted something to claim imo...

Felt like this deserved its own thread frfr.




So when i told you nikkaz.
That this nikka was a toy.
You just ignored me and partied with wypipo to his music.


Seems like he clowned and fooled all of y'all like i been saying and told y'all.


Toys fool no one but other people who are toys.

ye was in that lane before a female upgraded his lifestyle

his dress.code & everything was for sure some dusty backpack shyte

he just started riding the right waves & now he's fronting ha

*

Were you even alive in 04’? :rudy:Ye had everyone switching their throwbacks and 6XL white tees for all Polo everything back then. He was wearing Bape, Supreme and retro Jordan’s everyday like 20 years ago. All of that hypebeast shyt 20 year old fuccbois think they invented since 2018 before they were wearing Aeropostale and shyt. :mindblown:

And Ye style has been an Illuminati humiliation ritual for the past few years. Look like Stevie Wonder cut his hair. And nobody been trying to dress like Ye post Amber Rose.:hhh: Even Ye laments the fact that he isn’t allowed to wear Jordan’s anymore because of his deal with Adidas, The only good Yeezy is the 700. The Nike Yeezy’s were glorified Spizikes sprinkled with hypebeast fairy dust. Yeezy Boosts are trash worn by cacs. They look like futuristic prison shoes. Most people don’t even buy clothes and shoes because they look good anymore but they buy things that are ugly as fukk for the perceived clout and overinflated make believe value they have. :ufdup:Ye been looking homeless for about a decade now. He’s a broken man and can’t get over the fact that he married the most famous witch in America and sacrificed his own mother to become a billionaire. :wtf:

folks follow a lot of trends that's fashion victim shyte

just because it's popular doesn't make it fly

ye style before he got put on to some next shyte was not out the norm

he became a billion dollar nikka off that weird shyte ha

more folks started looking at ye as a trendsetter after he started getting weird

ye a sample based artist musically visually etcetera so when he moved on from dressing like 88.keys don.c ibn to dressing like p taz to a$ap on & on it was based off someone else's style he was studying

anytime ye switched up just look at his circle of influence to find who he's mirroring
