At least theyre not wasting money on the real stuff. Rappers kno what role they have to play in the public for fans.
If the rappers that do that rapped about more than money and stunting maybe they wouldn't have to play they role to convince people?
And they don't have to play that role. Ab Soul raps about still living wit his mom and being broke and only being able to afford IHOP dates ..no one clowns him for it.
Eminem is pretty rich and dude don't even look it. He doesn't stunt really and He looks like he's middle class still. No one clowns him for it.
If you're not rapping about shyt you don't have you ain't gotta fake shyt. If you're rapping that role, you gotta play that role. If you're not, you don't.
