Toxic habits you picked up from music

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

If you say you have none, you're lying



Wayne's work ethic is self-explanatory. Wale's work ethic I'll explain briefly

Wale coming up had a mantra: No Days Off

Even before he dropped his Ambition album. He would always say "no days off" on freestyles

This set in my mind and made me push through everything since high school (silver lining). Played through injuries in sports at school, worked while sick with serious illnesses, and worked 70 hour weeks

No days off. Overworking past exhaustion in the common man's real world. It's overrated brehs


If you are blessed enough to not have to work OVER OVER overtime while dealing with real life shyt, don't do it

Your health comes first

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Childhood me picked up on saying fakkit from Eminem and Kay Slay



Edit: forgot Styles too

 

[Jim Cornette]

“I’m trying to be what I’m destined to be and nikkas trying to take my life away”

He could’ve easily said people

I don’t even have any opps atm or do I ?

Really I’m saying without this song I wouldn’t have the idea to always be looking for hate and disdain this lyrics induces/song fear or animal instinct

 

[Pop123]

How I used to view/treat women

How I used to think I had to be/live

Things I used to think mattered like crazy that don’t really mean shyt

The Wants that I had that were really stupid/pointless

Overly cussing, lol. A lot of that comes from the movies too tho, can’t put it all on rap.

Etc…

Madd bad toxic ish. Couple good things I picked up from a couple good men (Nas, Ras Kass, Chuck D, Rakim, etc…) but overall yeah, toxic toxic toxic.

 

[I'm Me]

Not caring about women’s sexual pleasure. Was heavy on the “I got mine”, “bust my nut and I’m out” ideologies. I’ve learned and matured over time tho.

 

[O.Red]

UGK taught me how to treat women

 

[BBG]

Every song that ever mentioned dying/going to jail for respect.






I lived by that shyt for so long, even took a charge because I didn't want to "snitch". Beat it in court but man I wouldn't have been able to sign up in 2014 if they decided to keep my stupid ass locked up for tryna be down.




The majority of rap really is poison, we just love it too much to stop digesting the bullshytif all you listen to is Lupe and Black Thought this obviously doesn't apply to you, but 95% of mainstream hip-hop will kill you.

Spoiler

bonus, diss track I made in 2014 to some Internet nikka. That's how lost I was. I wanted to be in the streets AND graduate from college. Trying to serve two masters will have you looking the fool every damn time. Embarrassing.

Listening to Lupe in 2012 is why my first car will be a Camry

 

[BK The Great]

Cussing too much and being aware of scandalous women.

 

[franknitty711]

tried lean

bad decision but the good thing for me is i learned early how my by body reacts to opioids. never got addicted thank the lord

 

[Drake's Tan]

I used to take this song too literally when I got my first car as a teenager



This one too:

 

[42 Monks]

my college simp phase

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

my college simp phase

Me too


This would've been me regardless of musical influence




Told her my name, I swore our conversation was like magic
Now we dancing to some classic shyt
Should I grab that ass, Damon don't be so passive
Had her laughing, we exchanged digits
I met my wife, I wonder if she had that same vision
Well let's see, that next morning had to text her
I told her she got me under
"Sorry I don't remember who you are and lose my number"

 

[CrushedGroove]

Taught me at a young age to have a big d**k and 187 skills. And to mistrust EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. By the time 98-00 rolled around, I was into neo soul and the backpackers while still jamming screw so it balanced out.
