keep it real how?

did he ever get exposed for not hustlin? graduating with a 4.0 doesnt take away anything.

theres plenty of hood dudes with some type of work in their dorms right now as we speak.

It's not about hustlin or not. 2chains doesn't speak or act like an intelligent person. He doesn't promote intelligence or education. He promotes ignorance, he purposely alters his speach to sound like an idiot. He purposely ignores his own educucted past and promotes his hustlin past. He does all of this just to make chump change, compared to the people that are making millions off his willingness to forfeit his own integrity.

Very true...but the real question...why? They taking a high risk for a extremely small reward...

I remember a dude kicked out of college about 10 years ago for selling weed. He was crying and when his parents came and got him...they were holding their heads down while carrying his shyt out the dorm.

I dunno having been in college and seeing niccas sell weed, pills, whatever... but living in squalor and barely passin classes...I wonder


now im talkin about college niccas

 

[homiedontplaydat]

ayyeee! I can't believe it 2chainz got a 4.0
wit u talking bout Willis?
well he was marketed to the consumers as a hard core drug dealer that was flipping cocaine and having shoot outs.
is he black?
well yes but
then we ride with him
but he is a c00n, the very definition...
I don't care, can't let these cacs get the upper hand
i guess nas was right, hip hop is dead

 

[OG Talk]

These Urban Fantasy enthusiasts stay getting their dreams crushed... Wait until they find out their favorite rapper was raised in a two parent home...

 

[head shots101]

Stupid ass thread.....U can sell drugs and get straight A's in school dummy. School is the best place to get your work off dikk

There's nothing wrong with being smart.

There's nothing wrong with being smart AND rapping.

But being an intelligent black man that acts like a full fledged bafoon in front of the camera, just to make a few scraps, all while the white folks above you make the real $, makes you a c00n and a liability to the black community.

at you nikkas cosigning this shyt

Hell yea, you know we should act right for the white man...


I hate this logic.
nikkas can't wait to find a reason to hate each other.

shyt real though plies can tend to his and his soulja's wounds in the battle field thus saving him and his homies families a lot of money

so only idiots can rap? Your education doesn't necessarily guarantee where your standing will be, especially if you come from the hood.



Bragging about your education unfortunately is something that got played out in hip-hop a long time ago. Back in the 80s-early 90s, people used to talk about how many books they read and how much knowledge they had as if it was a spinning chain. Unfortunately there were rappers that subscribed to the shyt Chris Rock was talking about and made that aspect of rapping uncool.

I don't know who will be the person that will attempt to bring that back, but not many will try because let's be honest, there's a negative stigma to being smart yet still being hip-hop. Considering how much youth, inner city youth and minorities are going to school, I'd be bragging about it all the time. Instead, people make music that college kids like.

Man, that whole anti-intellectual shyt is the reason why liars are a part of this culture. When you make an environment that teaches people that it isn't cool being your damn self, stuff like 2 Chainz and Plies happens.

No we should act right for ourselves. Our educated celebrities should promote education and enlightenment, not guns hoes and drugs.

I don't hate 2chainz or any other rapper. I just think allot of them can do more with the voice they have in our community. And those that purposely dumb down and act as ignorant as possible are damaging to our community. In this case we have a highly educated guy doing this which makes it that much worse because he knows better, and he knows what it takes to find success.

smh@ppl hating on threadstarter...

Keep exposing frauds and sell-outs...intelligent men havin to sambo it out for $$..

Where's Chuck D?

Y'all removed the Chuck D's from Hip Hop. Now all the fukkery runs rampant, but cats wanna complain now after the whole genre is fukked up.

 

[White Ant]

Reminds me of when Ross got exposed and fans started talking about his prison guard job was "just cover" to move weight.

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

He said that he always did well in school in an interview .. And you can still be from the hood and still go to college ( shyt and sell drugs how you think these nikkas get drugs from other students)

you think someone with a 4.0 GPA would sell drugs on campus and risk being expelled and/or arrested.

 

[Born2BKing]

First off there is no way this guy was a hard core dealer. he's soft I can tell by looking in his eyes. Maybe he has a few friends into it or maybe he sold some powder on the side....

But from what I see he is a tall ass basketball playing rapper who got a scholarship to university and graduated with a 4.0, started rapping with DTP then reinvented himself as a 2chainz character. It worked for Rick Ross

2chainz is not a goon!

It don't take a goon to sell drugs nikka. You got lame ass white boys out here selling powder, pills, and weed. Two Chains don't come off like no super thug. Just a nikka was in the streets at one point and sold some work. TS must be

That was pure comedy. He was making good music and all, but his image was straight
