Trinidad James admits to c00ning for profit

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

From the new XXL

There are some artists who make drug references just to look cool, or just trying to appeal to somebody, right? But sh*t, dude, people have been doing that forever. It’s not even about drugs, it can be about anything—cars, whips, jewelry. Artists make music, and some artists talk about sh*t that they really live, but it’s on the listener to decipher if it’s real and if they really f*ck with it or if they’re going along with it because everyone else is. That’s how this game is set up, man. You’ve got people who want to hear about the sh*t that they want, but not the sh*t that they need to hear about. People don’t want to hear positive raps as much as people want to hear negative rap.

“Well, consistently talking about violence, and drugs and b*tches, that’s not the “right thing” to talk about, from a Godly standpoint or from a moral standpoint. But that’s what people want to hear! Like, how many positive rappers are really making it these days?

“But I wasn’t telling you to do molly, I was just telling you about my experience.”

Talking about Molly references

“When I made that song I wasn’t thinking about the kid who was going to listen to the song. I was just speaking about my life, and if you can relate, great. But why can’t you relate to the line, “Count your blessings?” No, you want to relate to ,”‘Popped a molly, I’m sweatin’.’” That’s not my fault, you chose to listen and focus on the drug reference. That’s on you, my n*gga. I don’t feel no type of sympathy or anything, because at the end of the day I know what’s right and wrong. I’ve done wrong and I’ve done right, but these people who do stupid sh*t and blame it on rap… get the h*ll out of here. It’s your choice if you want to pull out a gun. I’ll say this though, the music does have an influence, I’m not going to say it doesn’t. But you still have a choice and a conscience that God gave you. So it’s on you.” Trinidad James Says He Makes Ignorant Music Because It Sells | Bossip

Like I said before, Blacks turned on Plies when they found out he wasn't the ignorant goon that he portrayed on TV. When they found out he was smart that was the end of his career. Same will happen to Trinidad James before his album even drops. They thought he was the buffoon he portrayed himself to be in All Gold Everything video.

I have heard that dude can actually rap, but I aint heard nothing to show me that. I know that I respect how he is in interviews, the nikka tries to keep it 100 ya dig.

He had mentioned that Banks is his favorite rapper, does anybody know of any tracks from TJ that shows some skill???

TO the threadstarter:

why are u trying to assasinate Trinidad's character for the simple fact he is being HONEST...

i don't think u comprehend that all he is saying is YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE for WHAT YOU FIND ENTERTAINING....


as far as this FLOPPING because people find out you ARE PORTRAYING what you are not...

THAT IS BULLSHYT......rick ross career didn't FLATLINE after the C.O exposure..and neither did PLIES career flatline either....

Plies just hasn't made anything "hot" to keep him in the limelight as before...

MOFOS don't give a fukk as long as it SOUNDS GOOD.........it's entertainment

all these MOFOS are fradulant...thier ENTERTAINERS.....

anybody expecting MORE FROM THESE "ENTERTAINERS" than a good song and dance is the BUFFOON, THE FRAUD etc.

thier are PLENTY OF OTHER outlets or personalities to draw POSITIVE INFLUENCE from..........how bout STARTING WITH YOURSELF!

Yea. I used to manage him. This persona of "Trinidad James" is just one side of him. He's got ALOT more depth than he's being advised to show to the public, but when he first started rapping it wasn't about Molly or all this monkey shyt y'all see on TV that's associated with him now

 

[Grifter]

A rapper rapping about things that they have never or don't do anymore for their target audience.

 

[Lewis Black]

Like I said before, Blacks turned on Plies when they found out he wasn't .

Like black people had a meeting n shyt

Black people : fukk him
