When did you realize all the "great" rappers came from "good stock"?

Poverty and hardship not the same. Like, abject.

Name 5 goats that weren't well off? Or rumored to be. Not that serious but we see this.

People allegedly say cube, for example.

What did OP say?
Nas wasn't all that financially privileged but he definitely had a leg up and he comes from "good stock". Richard Pryor's mom was a literal whore.

Watch the Time Is Illmatic documentary.

If you think Nas came from comfortable circumstances after watching that then you must hail from the deepest cave in Afghanistan
