:laugh:

you might want to listen to some of the interviews that Bun B, Killer Mike and David Banner do....and then you'll realize what i'm saying about Plies.

dude can't even really articulate himself in interviews when it comes to talking about shyt other than typical rapper shyt...cause he's so caught up in keeping in line with his rapper persona.


we're in the era of pseudo intellectual rappers, and nikkas like Plies attempt to cover up how educated they are...what kinda shyt is that breh?

Plies did that because he knows that the hood doesn't respect an educated, articulate black man. Look at how many NY rappers like Uncle Murda shyt on Nas for speaking on deep topics back in 2006. Look @ backin "Belly" that DMX never read books and people going :yes: @ that.

You think every nikka who gets a football scholarship is a smart nikka? Oh let me guess, you believe the valedictorian rumor which isn't true

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Plies will always be 1 of the realest to me simply based off this interview right here. Listen to this interview especially at the 4:50 mark. This is why I wanna see dude win.


This is one of the realest nikkas in the game just for this

I mean he's always talked the same way, a lot of rappers don't talk lie they rap.
Just like singers don't sing like they talk. And having a shytty college degree from a shytty school doesn't necessarily tell me that you are more "intelligent" than running your own company and making millions for years.

so make up your mind, is Plies a smart nikka.... or is he a just a hood nikka who got a football scholarship?
He is smart enough but you talking like that nikka is a fukking genius or some shyt. nikka got good common sense but ain't a fukking scholar.

exactly,Nipsey come across as more intelligent than ive ever seen Plies in a interview,do I want him to try to show some of that in his music?yeah here and there....but I want him to do what he do which is make bangers,just cuz you smart doesn't mean you can translate that well into music....shyt,a nikka like Nas cant translate the intelligence shown in his music to a interview and actually articulate what the fukk he talkin about.....but he can translate it well to music so that's what he should do...Plies at his best came across as a street smart nikka and that's pretty much how he come across in his music until his music got bad to me....in no way shape or form has he musically or interview wise done anything to make me believe he's as smart as Killer Mike or d Banner and is just hiding it:heh:...hes smarter than his music shows overall but that's 90% of rappers who treat rap as fun time and not teach time:manny:

Classic Niccas
its not about the college thing. i mean, i dont know about yall and where yall be at, but i know plies was pegged as a phony from jump. dude was way over-the-top, trying too hard with the goon chit. niccas always saw ross as a fake too, long before the so-called exposal.

but yea, he seems like a real good cat tho. hes does alot of REAL real chit. but i understand why he stays getting checked when it comes to the goon chit he be talkin.

as for him allegedly not sounding intelligent, i think that has alot to do with the heavy accent.
