I'm ultra lazy right now. Can anybody compare these dudes net worths?

And either way that statement by rocky is the type of statement you give when you 2 drinks away from needing a Lyft driver and somebody ask your opinion about some shyt you don't really care about

Boy shut yo ass up :troll:

Rap in general got black men in a perpetual state of adolescence.

Black men in general aren't taken seriously in the real world because our collective image is so intertwined with hip-hop culture.

We're seen more as immature little boys/entertainment rather than responsible grown men/ leaders/ providers/ protectors of the community.

Damn you mean ole Kevin Samuels had a point huh about the collective image :ohhh::myman:. Yet nukkas fell in line with the single mothers that birth them and called someone who actually gave a damn funny acting aka :dame:

I’m really confused by this dude. I think I always have been actually. One, I’ve never understood the hype — despite him having a couple joints I liked (Palace is one). I could never reconcile how a dude from NY was biting as hard as he was and it was seen an “innovation” or “influence.” Breh was cosplaying Houston. Fool was talking about he’s Texas trill and he coming down swangin’ and shyt :gucci:. That’s one of the things that is really divergent in current rap from the past. You can get on now by just being a copy of another dude or completely jacking a sound, and no one says anything (e.g., Gunna). But, back to this goofy. I listened to that D.M.B. song and is that supposed to be mature rap :mjlol:? Word? I beg to differ, sir.
Rocky was the first to usher in the regionless/internet era. His first tape was influenced by chopped and screwed, Bone Thugs, 3-6 all with that New York braggadacious over cloud rap beats with swag rap elements. It turned out to be one of the best mixtapes of All-Time. Dude made art, created a different musical backdrop, and aesthetic.

Every project he has dropped he has taken artistic risks.

Can't really blame Soulja Boy because he really was a kid at the time. The problem was the game following the lead of a 17 year old :francis:

The song + dance wave was a terrible moment in time :dead:
Somehow this will go over heads. Soulja is just a victim of circumstance...









It's cool to throw tomatoes at Soulja, but he lowered the bar enough for Rocky to get on.
At least Soulja got a quotable.
