Local Atlanta rapper explains why he drives a $400k car but still lives in the hood

[hustlemania]

how is driving around in a 400k car helping the hood?

dudes just randomly driving a 400k car around the hood, stuntin..

 

[Standing on business]

this video was probably filmed around the corner from his dope spot and he knows what they going to do with the money
can't tell a man what to do with his money but it would have been a much better look if he pulled up with food, hygiene supplies, clothes etc
I'm sure you have to be at this point

Yea I know exactly what he's doing, I just know I'll get called a c00n for telling the truth about it

if he really is doing things to help his community, good for him. regardless of race most people don't do that. most of us just live in our own little world and go in with our day. but i don't see his driving a 400k car is relative to that?

 

[hustlemania]

Rent free?

someone had a thread on it.. he named the building Trapghanistan or some sh!t..

 

[Cynic]

You can't be serious

As I said in the thread in the booth...NO chance in HELL racist ass Georgia let a black man with MULTIPLE felonies buy a damn apartment complex

buying real estate has nothing to do with felonies...

All they care about is you servicing the debt and covering the downpayment

@MillionMills get in here and school this dude

theres a thread in the Booth about why he bought the car..

something about people pulling up next to him, and he wanted a flyer car.. this dude even rap, or he just post random IG clips daily..?

And another thing why can't you have nice fly shyt while helping your community? I see a lot of people bytching in the comments bout him copping a Lambo. Do you know how much money he invests in his community? If he put the shyt he does on camera y'all would complain if he doesn't showcase it y'all still complain. Can't win with people

Right. This nikka might own the whole block. He might have businesses employing other black folks. He might be helping keep property values where they are. But people gonna concentrate on his whip

Yea this hood robin hood trope is starting to get stale. I dont know much about the dude, so i wont hate. But it seems like alot of these rappers just saying what sounds good instead of actually helping they hood. I can say dudes like TIP, Killer Mike and Titty have actually helped out they hoods without alot of publicity.......

Ralo isn't a rapper. And he's not getting gunned down in his own hood lol. Dunno what these posters are talking about. People think he's just some local dude who gor a bit of money rapping?

According to coli members plenty of good reasonable articulate people live in the hood. The hood isn't bad, so I get why he's driving a car, that's worth a few mortgages.

He lives in the hood to motivate people

Oh so he's dope dealer? How you know ?

I can't really fw Ralo's music cuz of his voice but I fw him heavy as a person, or at least as the person he portrays himself to be. Breh does a lot for his hood. nikkas in this thread hating and talking shyt...but fukk em.

Yes he's still got some ignorance in him but you don't go from Detroit red to Malcolm X overnight. Salute to him for all the shyt he does.

Did you really just compare Ralo to Malcolm X

Im not going to try and guess as to Ralo's ability to buy/build or maintain an apt complex as I have no real idea. What I can gauge is that his lambo did not come from any success in rap which suggests he has the means to of he wants to. I would also suggest that if he is a felon he could simply front the funds and have it in a family members name?

Yeah that's all possible...highly unlikely thougj

im pretty sure he could buy an old rundown project..

someone said, people live there rent free.. which is kind of strange..

shyt sounds like the Carter to me

You sound very dense. You've obviously never been in the south. There's an abundance of black people who own property and land, especially in the Atlanta area. You must not have shyt to your name if you don't believe a black man could invest in an apartment complex

nikka I just moved back home to Detroit from Nashville 2 years ago. The south is STILL Redneck central. And the property in those areas are now drying up. Hell in Nashville a 2 bedroom shack was going to cost you over 100k. Now to say you going to own an ENTIRE apartment complex in ATL is EASILY going to cost 200k and up and yes dude might have that type of money but the UPKEEP of said property is going to cost upwards of 20k possibly a week. I would like to believe dude is the Robin Hood of his neighborhood but dude likes to stunt like he the of his hood...not good. This dude LOVES the attention. Either he's on the feds team or he's on their radar. Do you REALLY think all that money he's flashing have been paid taxes on??? I guarantee you this won't end well

Thug motivation duh it's 101

Negro are you serious???? What other means does he have to make that type of bread?? Is he a doctor did he hit the lottery It DAMN sure isn't from his MUSIC dude I'm from the Eastside of Detroit...I know what I'm seeing when I look at it.

Ralo Made $12 Million By Selling Drugs, But Rap Pays Him Freedom
By Anna Dorn | about 10 months ago

21-year-old Terrell Davis, known to the rap game as Ralo (his moniker pays respect to his mother’s former boyfriend, a mentor and inspiration who passed away when Ralo was a kid), has changed his life considerably in the last two years. From ages 12 to 19, he was incarcerated 34 times (twice in prison). Last month, he released his third mixtape, Diary of the Streets II, which features Young Thug, Birdman, Future, Lil Uzi Vert and Shy Glizzy. Born and raised in the infamously dangerous West Atlanta neighborhood The Bluff (an acronym for “Better Leave You fukking Fool”), Ralo now lives in a “mansion in Cascade” (an affluent black neighborhood in southwest Atlanta).

“The mayor stay out here,” Ralo tells me.

Despite entering the drug game at a young age and losing countless friends and family members to violence and prison, Ralo doesn’t think negatively of his childhood. “I didn’t know other people lived better than I did,” he tells me. “I thought everyone’s mom and dad sold dope.”

Ralo tells me that it wasn’t until middle school that he realized his upbringing veered from the norm. He would see kids come to school with new shoes, saying things like, “I need to clean my room.” Ralo didn’t know people had their own room—in the shotgun home (a narrow rectangular house with rooms arranged one behind the other) where he grew up, Ralo, his two brothers, his sister, his mom and his grandmother all slept in the living room. With Diary Of The Streets II, Ralo told The FADER: “My goal is to inspire more people to get in better situations."

It was the drug game, though, and not his success as a rapper—his music career took off when he released a song with Future (“Can’t Lie”) in the spring of 2015—that got Ralo out of The Bluff: “I was never able to produce more money in the rap game than I produced in the drug game. I made $12 million dollars in one year.” But he recently gave up dealing drugs, he tells me, “because I’d rather be broke and free than rich and in jail.”
