I don't think it's the actual rapping part. Rapping in itself isn't worth clowning over. Its the ones who act bigtime, are complete trash, pushin 40 and rappin like a 20 year old.
These dudes had a "show" back home last week. Instagrammed some videos while pushin a Corolla, lookin stressed, kept adjusting his hat, got his rapper face on, talkin about "support your local hip hop and you're a hater if not"...buy these tickets.
Next day he Instagrammed the video from the show, same rapper face, full rapper outfit, "it's lit", panned to the crowd there's about 18 folks in the auditorium with some nonsense coming outta the speakers and some off beat no flow having cheeseball on stage:mjlol:
Look-have fun doin what you like :hubie:
But you're dreams look like a Value Village meets CB4 talent show then I'll be that hater:heh:
Grown ass men wanting to be more 69 and not enough Phonte :martin:

You’re comparing a jazz artist from the 50s & 60s who was already established to a wanna be 40 year old rapper talking about sone non sense :dead:
Would you like more examples? Honestly I wouldn’t waste my time because if you can’t accept the point that you said something out of ignorance and I gave you a example to prove you wrong, you just don’t want to accept the facts.

That’s one example but there are countless others man. You just want to believe what you believe. Like the narrative that rappers only rap about those topics, it’s fukking 2019 and you think rappers only rapping bout that?

You do that then, that was exactly my point from the get go. Man scary because I said fukk you :mjlol:
Still emotional responses I see.
You said you knew people making money off doing rap music, so I just asked for names.
You didn’t answer so either you’re a liar or you didn’t comprehend the question

You’d be surprised. Lee Morgan made a fukking song in the 60s called “Speedball” and he wasn’t talking bout no sport unless you consider heroin and coke a physical challenge...

None of you nikkas in here are even in the music industry/business. Y’all really just talking out your asses. Frankly it’s amusing. Quoting random interviews like y’all writing research papers for a class...

Hip Hop is a young man's game, that is what seperates it from other genres. Can't be 30/40+ plus talking about bussing down thots, licking shots, and trapping in dope spots....

Conscious/Backpacker rap doesn't sell/stream like trap does...

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
:ufdup:
Man shut ya dumb azz up

I empower all the black temps under me..

Cause I know how horrible it feels to be a black temporary worker in Georgia...

No job security... No insurance.. No benifits...No Sick days... . Mistreatment by the permanent workers and to add insult to injury

The companies are not obligated to hire you permanently after an alloted time of being there

Im assisting this one brother with speeding up his hiring process cause he has been a temp for a YEAR AND HALF NOW
:damn:

And on top of that when his vehicle went down I been getting my azz up an hour early to pick him up to take him to work

And I don't mind it's rough out chea...

Matter of fact they talk to me all the time as that OG they can count on

I just hired another temp who needed extra money to Assist me with my business that I owned

Another one said he should have listened to me when he blew 3k out of his savings to a sheiesty music video director that had him missing days and end up losing his job

I just gave him a spot to stay at while he gets back on his feet

So I take action as well as give advice

That was the whole premise of my thread to offer alternatives to these UNDERACHIEVING OVER 30 UEAR OLD RAPPERS THAT I KNEW WHO WERE NEGLECTING RESPONSIBLITIES to focus on BEING GAINFULLY EMPLOYED AND COLLECTING STEADY INCOME as opposed to WAITING ON THAT RAP BAG that might never come...

Now if a aspiring rapper just does it for fun or is able to balance his responsibilities with his passion for rap...

Then I :salute: him

But if not.. Like BIG say..

UPS IS HIRING :manny:

Giving advice to these MEN

Is what I DO

WTF ARE YOU @The Devil's Advocate Doing for black men offline?

So don't you ever in your life try to accuse me of. Being a hating C00n

You desperate for attention JIGABOO AZZ LOOKING FUKK N1GGA
:pacspit:

If you gotta problem with What I just said COME TO MY PM

AND THE REST OF YALL IGNORANT SENSATIVE FUKKBOYS
Sounds beautiful. Except nothing in the OP mentioned a single thing about them lacking at work. Not a single word.

Ive been a supervisor for 6 years now. ..

and it wasnt unusual to come across a former local rapper or two amongst the group of Temps that would come through in groups every 6 months

Now in 2019 I could form a whole LABEL of all these underachieving rappers coming thru the door ...

And sadly these guys are getting paid well thru my firm once they go permanent they are at least looking at starting pay of 19.00 an hour....

Before the cost of living raises and seniority pay kicks in

But they still hold on to these "dreams" of making it in the "game"....

And the bulk of them are not young dudes.... 30 and up..

SMH

You said they underachieved AS RAPPERS. Same as a dude in a rock band underachieved as he in the same boat.

Now you been called out, you trying to reverse engineer it to say “oh nah I’m fine with them rapping as long as they also work hard”

Where was that statement until right this second? Nowhere
