Mad Skillz Calls Out Rappers For Sayin Rappin’ The Most Dangerous Job

[Sir Richard Spirit]

It’s more dangerous to work as a cashier.

Rappers don’t have dangerous careers they have dangerous hobbies. Big difference.

 

[King Poetic]

It’s only dangerous because many of the nikkas today are not rappers but street dudes trying to rap and u have the dumb ass media calling these nikkas rappers

 

[Pop123]

So then the next question would be, why is that the case?

Most actors do not walk around with bodyguards, not most athletes either.

The biggest singers and stuff do but that mostly seems like it's to protect them from stans, paparazzi and shyt harassing them, not that they're gonna get clipped or robbed

Not true. Athletes and actors 1000% walk around with entourages/bodyguards and security. Especially during times when they're out and about in the public in the same spot for hours. Maybe not for quick trips to the grocery store or coffee shop runs in their rich ass neighborhood where you see the paparazzi shots of them. But if they're going to the club, or partying out, they for sure do.

For financial and a sense of normalcy reasons, how often it hapens my vary, but it's very common to see any type of person with fame that can afford security, with them.

And your reason to why singer have them is kind of proving my point that fame inherently is dangerous.

I doubt it's 'most' but some definitely don't.

I saw Larry David in Cali just chillin with a female, probably his wife, and one other tall lanky ass dude. If that was his security then he really moving carefree, lol, his wife looked tougher. And he's worth half a billion. A rapper moving like that in Cali is a value meal...even in Hollywood, somebody is gonna send the word that they're moving wrong and put the play in motion.

I think it's more about your demo than anything else...sadly. Jerry Seinfeld got a bunch of adult, working class, regular ass people fans...so he can probably move super light and be fine...even worth a billion. Jim Jones, on the other hand, gotta keep 2 or 3 serious dudes around, at minimum, just to run to Walgreens real quick, because he's mostly selling his poison to the youth/people in poverty, they're starving and envious.

It's one of the dumbest narrative to emerge in the last years.

 

[murksiderock]

Ehhh, if you're a professional rapper (not doing it for a hobby, but you actually record, promote and perform music) it can be. One can argue any job that brings notoriety along with often having to post your whereabouts (time, location and amount of hours you will be there) to the public is dangerous.

Now a lot of the extra dumb shyt rappers do are self inflicted.

Being a known entity is dangerous, if it wasn't, bodyguards wouldn't be needed. So saying being a rapper on a professional level isn't dangerous is kinda of being oblivious. With that said, that can go for pretty much any profession that brings attention to you.

What is correct is SOME rappers add extra unnecessary dangers by their actions at times. That is not disputable. But I push back on being a rapper isn't dangerous at all.

This is some serious mental gymnastics. Celebrities hire security and I guess you can say because of the possibility of "danger" in the most basic sense, but we don't need to go stretching the definition of dangerous to fit people who don't know how to behave responsibly in their roles...

Those guys that clean skyscraper windows have an inherently dangerous profession. Those gas drillers in Alaska have an inherently dangerous profession. Coal miners have an inherently dangerous profession. I can sit here and name dozens, if not hundreds, more professions that are more inherently dangerous than being an actor, or a comedian, or.....a fukking rapper...

Being a rapper moonlighting as a dealer or hitter is dangerous. Talking about your exploits as a thug and then publicly portraying yourself as such is dangerous. If that was the embodiment of being a rapper then you'd have a point, but we know it isn't. You don't have to be a rapper still thugging on the side, and you don't have to be a rapper portraying yourself as someone still thugging it, whether real or imagined...

I don't mind agreeing to disagree, bruh....

It’s not really stretching, it’s literally what it is bro lol. The thing is it seems like you’re arguing from a perspective of “rap is the most dangerous profession” when my argument is just that it’s dangerous, not the most dangerous. I wasn’t trying to really compare because the dynamics of those professions you listed are so different.

You not reading the room breh

Point is majority of time rappers saying it’s the most dangerous job is due to them portraying an image & being involved in shyt they shouldn’t be. Not because they a rapper.

Of course there are some dangers. Us waking up everyday presents a new danger so I’m not sure why you moved the talking point of the convo

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Rap is not the most dangerous job. Rap is the dumbest job an active street nikka can have.

If active street nikkas start working at Fedex in mass. Would fedex be the most damgerous job in the world?

This....I don't know why people can't grasp this simple reality/logic.

 

[Hood Critic]

When you showing and telling everybody what you got, yeah, you're high risk for the booking.

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

he right

 

[BK The Great]

Only if you’re putting yourself in danger by getting into beefs or conflict. That’s when it’s dangerous. But people have a target on rappers whether they want to rob or get into fights with them.

Mad Skillz could be standing under a concert flyer that says “mad skillz performing tonight” and nobody would know who he is

He actually has talent, and why did what he say warrant such a response?
