Serious question about “checking in” as an entertainer?

[The Devil's Advocate]

Exactly. And security was secret service levels

Imagine Drake checking in


Hang around dogs and you’ll catch fleas.

Drake has his protection built in, just like Frank Sinatra did with the mob.

The drug dealers of the Commando Vermelho, or Red Command, have painted their letters on the soccer field where Mr. Jackson will land in his helicopter, so there will be no doubt whose turf he is on. Mr. Jackson has hired 50 or so residents -- said to be provided by the drug dealers, since they control this favela -- to provide security during his filming.


"The Government tried to step in to stop him from showing the misery of people here," Mr. de Oliveira added. He looked away for a moment and shook his head, resorting to English from the title of the video to make his point. "They really don't care about us," he said.

You can't tell these guys nothing

People who have to check in are wilfully associating themselves with foolishness.

If you’re making money you are a grade A+ fool for not moving smarter

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!!!!!"

Are you comparing Leo eating dinner to checking in?

Checking in is some clown shyt people do for fake street cred.
If you don't feel you'll be safe in a certain area then you just shouldn't go there...I wish I would ask a 19yo for permission to be somewhere

Checking in is for entertainers who are on the street BS. If you are affiliated with some kind of street organization, your ass is checking in.

If you aren't on that type of timing, then you don't check in.
