He puts on the persona that he is a "hood nikka"

Not that he's from the hood, but that he is a "hood nikka"

That dude in the nardwar interview is not a hood nikka. Again this isn't to say that he is not from the hood, but he isn't a hood nikka.

He's stereotyped himself by the way he portrays himself in his music. It's only reasonable that some people would be confused to see him in an interview NOT acting like a stereotypical "hood nikka"

If that's point, it's a very stupid one...based on a misinterpretation of his lyrics on your behalf....You posted that lyric as if the VERY NEXT LYRIC ain't:
....Hipster bytches that shop at Lenox
Dark skinned, light skinned, Asian and White women
Hypebeasts we know aboutchea'
Don't buy shoes unless they popula'
For the hoes, my nikka
This one for them colleges
Them bad hoes at Spelman

Is he portraying himself as a lenox mall shopping hispter bytch...a dark skin, light, asian or white woman as well?

I don't know a damn thing about Trinidad James, but being able to hold a conversation with some interviewer isn't a preclusion to being a "hood n!gga" (again that this is even an argument considering the lengths TJ goes to paint himself as some kind of hipster fashionista, is ridiculous even from the other side of things)...it's just a stupid line of thought

No one said that you can't be from the hood and talk proper. But if you can't admit that Trinidad James isn't acting out the stereotypical hood nikka, you're just in denial.

He even uses a down south hood nikka accent in his songs. Yet in the interview that accent is nowhere to be found.

He's just posturing, trying to be both things at the same time. It makes sense :manny:

Certainly not the first rapper with a gimmick

I view TJ as a less interesting and more simplified Danny Brown :ehh:

miss me w/ that.

Dude is in the video w/ cats masked up flashing guns.
Is he really showing all the "college kids in the hood"?


The whole song is implying he's not to be fukked w/ and he gets money on a street level.
But he clearly is not about that.

No u look at the dude and automatically assume things about him just from his appearance. The same way of thinking is what got Trayvon shot that night. You're ignorant, the sad thing is that u cant even see it.

Nardwuar vs. Trinidad James - YouTube

:dwillhuh:
I dont know anything about this dude other than the All Gold Everythang video.
The whole video is promoting the hood lifestyle...yet its clear from this interview he isnt hood.

I actually like the fact that he can hold a conversation and isnt hood...but why do these cats feel like ignorance is the only way to make music?

nikkas from the hood can't hold conversations?

:what:
