We still playing dumb with this?

If you don’t need to be in the hood or involved in hood shyt, you don’t need to check in with hood nikkas.

But if you want to play gangster, pay some nikkas for security. If you don’t, pay real security

By this logic, does that give strippers and streetwalkers the right to make entertainers such as Latto or Trina, check in?

Cardi B been claiming blood how long? Bet she ain’t checking in.

A lot of rappers have to check in because they are performing at hood spots or spots that hood nikkas have access to so checking in might be beneficial to them.

Somebody like Bruno Mars, doesn’t have to worry about this as he’s performing at Sofi which is going to have top-of-the-line security.

all rappers dont even have to check in

if you don't want to check in then change what you're rapping about

if you don't want to do that, then just check in.

it's stupid but the price of doing business.

So, is this only a requirement for rappers?

I don’t hear about Beyoncé or Taylor Swift having to holla at J Prince before coming to town. :jbhmm:

Like do Druski or even Samuel L Jackson have to check in before going to certain states for work?

What about the other sets of goons that you didn’t “check in” with within the same city?

shyt is stupid. I wouldn’t check in shyt…. nikkas would just have to take me out in a shootout if they catch me out. 🤷🏾‍♂️
only stupid nikkas lookin for clout do that bullshyt...





u dont even have to check in to come to houston... prince family want to be part of the entourage n be seen



its always them hole in the wall house of blues as artist that gotta be around bullshyt

them nikkas who be in stadiums dont do that shyt...its money to be made..

it aint even that

wha the fukk u coming to the hood for
Street cred. Recognition.

You can't just show up, take pics and leave. Then have everyone thinkin your down.

Imagine if Leo DiCaprio walked in an exclusive restaurant in NYC, didn't eat or drink, just sat down next to a glass of wine and took a picture then bounced.

Either the restaurant is breaking bread with him because cats are going to want to be there, or he"s breaking off money to the restaurant buy actually spending money there.

Remember people like Bieber can hang out with blacks and get all the benefit and no spend a dime, not put anyone on then go back to being white. The hood, or these cities ain't getting money (when they're black). Its like back in the day, people would check in, store would close early or open early or open late and let celebs shop, restaurants would get their best steaks on, or fish...you get protection so cats don't run up on you. But it was all silent. Just those who needed to know. Now people check in and like "Yoooooo I checked in!!!!!"

There wasn’t any logic. There was facts.

If Trina, Jay z or Michael Jackson coming to the hood spots to perform, there will be hood dudes there. Those hood dudes gonna want to rob these nikkas cause they broke. The entertainment can either hire real security firms….. or they can pretend to be gangsters by hiring hood dudes to do security.

What’s right and fair? Who cares. You rich and hanging out with hood nikkas, you can expect to get robbed. Either don’t hang out or bring security

Every entertainer that I know of have coordinated with their venues for security/police presence. They also hire bodyguards.

What does this have to do with a group of people trying to bully someone into paying them to not harm them? 🤔
If those entertainers dropped massive bags to law enforcement do you think they would still be extort able by hood dudes? My point is everybody with money dropping a bag to some organization for protection. The street tax gets you hood protection.
