Theres Drake Clones??
I know right. This kid is the epitome of what's wrong with Hip Hop. And it's extremely uncomfortable watching a homo like him flagrantly throwing around nikka like that.

the fact that people gotta wait around for someone to give them a job just reaffirms what i'm saying homie, we are our jobs, what we do and how we move in the world in regards to others needs directly relate to the quality of energy received back whether that be actual money or connects, ect.
you got so many nikkas trying to run to universities that it's devalued the whole idea of having a degree, people are going to college to end up out of work, you can't bank on sitting at some desk pushing paper and pen strokes, you gotta DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY, you gotta CREATE SOMETHING! which basically goes against the modern day model of american consumerism.
finding out what that something is the definition of an internal struggle, and it's not one confined to the black experience.
word? where da fukk were you and these young buls at when this happened? at the library?
i'm not saying shyt can't happen or that you should be a hermit for fear of having to kill a muthafukka but a lot of times nikkas get into bullshyt without taking into account where, and around who they place themselves, not you specifically but in general. that ain't no struggle, that's just ignorance.
most people arent built to be entrepreneurs. ESPECIALLY while we're in this current state. im glad to see that youre not attributing that to just the black experience tho.
as for where i was from, I WAS IN THE HOOD. not the rap hood. the hood-hood. and it wasnt a mind-blowing experience. it was regular chit. i was in a grimey area, that was grimey in the '90s, the '00s, and seems to be even worst now. WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED, SINCE WE'RE A DECADE DEEP INTO A RECESSION. i dont know what type of world yall live in where everything is chutes & ladders & sliding boards. thats wassup, but come on man. and thats not even one of the worst areas up here. and i dont know those young buls personally, so i wouldnt dare attempt to speak on their situation by considering what theyre doing to be ignorance, especially with me knowing the era.
bottom line, its not that the world changed. mainstream hip-hop just doesnt reflect reality anymore. THIS IS WHAT THE THREAD SHOULD BE ABOUT. but barely anybody wants to speak on that.
sure, the streets arent as gung-ho as they were in the '80s & '90s but chit is still messed up out here.
