The Clipse grew up middle class, no struggle but gravitated to the drug game ... is this common?

[wingstop]

The irony is Pusha grew up more privileged than a jewish actor named Aubrey.

Facts.

Wasn't drake making more than 50k a year as a teenager though?

 

[bordeaux]

to his credit im not sure he ever claimed to hav a rough upbringing. like 80 to 90% of his content is about dealing. i think if he were a bigger artist hed be criticized more for it.

Aubrey was the breadwinner at home since his mom was divorced and not making a lot of money selling flowers.
Meanwhile Pusha Tea had both his mommy and daddy at home making good salaries. So drug dealing for him was a choice to look cool.
Like I said. Fake and more privileged than Aubrey.

Yes, it is common for people from and in the suburbs to sell and use drugs.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Super common. People confuse dealers with gangsters too much, a lot of times the big dealer dudes aren't really from the dirt like that, that's why they rock with/hire dudes who are, who handle all that dirty activity for them. There's a reason so many drug dealers get extorted by gangsters

Also Europeans like OP probably don't understand that in America there is a huuuuge difference between growing up in a middle class black suburb (like Clipse) and growing up in an all white suburb (like Drake). Especially in the 80's and 90's...

Compton is a suburb of LA

Yes, it is common for people from and in the suburbs to sell and use drugs.

No one in here is arguing that. It's about Pusha calling out Drake when he grew up more privileged than him.

Selling drugs to survive = Hov and every other street drug dealer.

Selling drugs to look cool = Pusha and every other suburban drug dealer.

My cousin from Mississippi did it

I had family do it from my hometown do it
They weren’t directly in middle class but they weren’t in severe poverty either
A lot of ppl not selling drugs because they have to

Is middle class automatically suburbs?

Is this like white picket fences and shyt or a suburban area like hidden valley in Charlotte?

Because I grew up in a house with a yard and we damn sure weren’t middle class. My dad and uncles was robbing nikkas and selling work.

 

[ISO]

This is where these nikka from?

Pusha is from Virginia Beach. Where Pharrell and the rest of the skaters are from. That's the fukking suburbs breh. Show me the hoods out there.

 

[who killin it?]

are we really comparing upper class white bread drake to a couple of cats dealing blow in high school so they can afford cars?



the only struggle aubrey had was his moms forgetting a tuna sandwich


and finding a ghostwriter to pen a diss back at pusha

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Malice is great.

I never been to Virginia. I always thought having a front yard meant suburbs. Ain’t urban for a city landscape?

Yeah, I have. And they all had front yards aside from 3 places that were apartments and a motel.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

most mid-high level distributors ARE NOT hood nikkas.
Most of the "lock down campus" brehs were raised in hybrid environments.
