I’ll play devils advocate with da baby I always thought was corny.
You don’t have to be from the hood to be tough and to the smart street nikkaz it’s good to not be known.
If I can make bread in the burbs without having to look over my shoulder and do it in the hood, honestly that might be the best situation
With that said you can still had hot head tendencies and not be fukked with tho. You just never had to really show it cause you wasn’t tested like nikkaz in the hood was.
He has a ton of hot head issues but he also has been the one confronted on a lot of occasions and has stood tall as a man in all of them
Another example is the kid “cj” who made the whoopty songs. He was dead wrong for making that song and stealing these guys slang and shyt and pretending to be a blood.
But on the flip side after they kept fukking with him, he said he fukk and posted a message saying “who ever has a problem with a can fight and get it over” and they all stopped and left him alone, probably cause they knew they couldn’t beat him in a fight cause he looked a bit tougher then them with hands, he was a muscular and they fell back
He was from suburbs but he probably was tougher then them with hands
Yeah it's a fact you can be a hot head and can stand on your own ten, just never been in situations that call for it...
That ain't the question though, bro...
Baby presents, and has presented, himself as a shooter. You know this bro, when people say they are something, cats want verification. First of all, cats who are shooters outside don't have to tell you they are, that reputation generally precedes them...
The streets talk...
Ain't nothing wrong with him getting his money in the suburbs, but it illustrated two things: 1, as I said even when his lyrics weren't as much John Wick shyt, nobody knew where he was from, so it was like, this dude CAN'T be from Charlotte. He is, but nobody knew, the people that knew dude were from way out the way...
And 2, he wasn't selling to dealers, you know weed is portable, any and every body smokes it. But the nikkas that are dropping off to nikkas that sell boy and coke, are not the same nikkas that's selling to everyone else. He and his bro weren't no big nikkas, but like I said nobody would say they were "broke" either, they were eating out in Cabarrus...
But if he was dropping off loads to street nikkas in the hood dudes would have known him...
I also shared before there was a story back then saying dude could fight, from that time too, this chick told me she had knowledge of him being in a 1v1 fight at a house party. Said he held his own, he ain't demolish whoever and he ain't get his ass whupped either, but he got down with his hands...
The thing is besides doing his thing with the weed, having a decent fight game, there's nothing on this nikka. Everything else came AFTER he got his celebrity, all these situations of people verifying his gangsta, are later...
There just isn't a single story, not ONE bro, of this nikka being in some gunplay and being identified as a nikka really playing like that. With Magnolia Slim, ain't no question. People know what he was on. King Von, people know what he was on. Same thing for some others. You know the streets talk...
There isn't ONE recurrence anybody in Charlotte has, of this guy being like that. But that's who HE says he is, it doesn't match with what people DO know him for...
I don't think he's a hoe but I do think certain scenarios show you things about a person, he ain't lived thru certain scenarios to even say he can handle em, so all the extra shyt doesn't mean anything to me. We all know (we meaning people who ran around in Charlotte) you not a sucka but we also know you not the image you're portraying, the funny thing about the situation with him and Coldheart was Cam was a dude with much more of a street background but at the time they shyt happened he didn't have the popularity or support Jon had. But literally nobody would tell you their street backgrounds were on the same level...
Jon is aiight

. He just like most of his rap peers, he's always in character mode. It is what it is...
