What happen to Bun B’s Texas drawl?

[LowkeyD]

I need some professional insight. @shopthatwrecks

He deleted it, just like Draya deleted her hoeness

Damn Draya catching strays

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Code switching. When he started to teach at Rice University he switched up. There’s just more corporate ad dollars acting/talking this way.

Can’t be Bun B forever. He’s trying to get to another level. I get it.

Bun from the era of when they taught us to have a side for work and a side for home. I ain't saying it's right, but I understand.

A lot of folks do this, but if I was known for being a country ass rapper and that's who I am, then I'd just be myself

This!!!

It’s good to be able to read the room.

You got to know how to move around all types of people, many will say it’s not being real, but if you trying to diversify yourself and be taken seriously outside of a small niche audience then you adjust and govern yourself accordingly and that’s what Bun is doing here.

yeah okay. ive met this man in real life twice this was not his energy. why he wasn't "friendly" with me?

Ever meet MJ?

50 cent should go into his next meeting with a g-unit bulletproof vest

I thought this was just going to be classic code switching, but I clicked and he damn near got that valley girl thing going on.

nikka got that Kanye disease, prolly been around too many white folks. Killer Mike suffers from this illness as well.

This is who he always was. Folks gotta realize when there’s a bag to be made, people will play into the stereotype and will do so until that bag runs dry. Bun B as we knew him was a role he played.

A lot of you want these guys to carry that street dude mentality into the corporate world where there hardly any Black people.

You should know how to conduct yourself as a professional and you should also know how to conduct yourself in a more relaxed atmosphere around people you’re more comfortable with too.

He isn’t getting taking seriously running up in a board meeting or speaking in an interview with a cup full of lean rocking a grill. Bun is also older now too, dude is in his late 40s almost 50 years old, he obviously isn’t going to be on the same type of time he was on in his 20 and even early 30s. You grow up and you evolve.

There’s a lot of in this thread.
