no one's questioning his ability to afford the piece
but you idiots keep saying "nah it's gold it'll go up in value" :skip:

:sitdown:

and I don't think Pusha gets 10K to open for Future or kick 2 verses for a Kanye/GOOD set :youngsabo:

a stupid financial decision is a stupid financial decision regardless of how much money you have
you don't see white billionaires wearing diamonds and gold in public like these dumb ass rappers
:scusthov:

so rich white folks don't wear rolex or any of these high end watches? they don't own/wear jewelry?

gold has tripled in price since like 2000, but somehow it's gonna lose value cause it's formed into a pendant that a rapper wears ?

there are no billionaire rappers, so why did you pull this out your ass?

Nah it's cool when he's done with the chain he'll melt it down and flip it for double :laff:

Yeah it doesn't matter what how much he makes because people with different tax brackets have the same "expendable" income. :facepalm:

I'm sure everything you buy and don't need also retains its value or is an investment including all the new electronics that will be played out next year :childplease: nikkaz prolly sitting on 4 brick iphones talking about wasting money. If a nikka buying jewelry weekly I hear that... if a nikka buying fake jewelry I hear that, if a nikka throwing 20k in a strip club u got a point... right now tho. :umad:

U don't need an economics degree to understand that expendable income amounts vary based on earnings. Y'all trying too hard... a rich CAC might not be walking around blinging but the same mufhuka might spend 20k a year in a dog spa cuz HE CAN, its expendable income to him


Bu bu but all rappers are stupid because they have expensive taste :heh: its not the price tag its the quality u pay for if u smart cuz it will retain value. Ben Baller the jeweller himself said he started the business by selling off his Jordan collection for a mill. I'm sure he collected those shoes over years and had clowns like u taking about he is wasting money then too but he got paid off a "bad" investment and flipped it into a business.... why? Because he had quality authentic goods and they retain their value.

Tall Israeli you know him don't you? Or youve interacted with him because you are going way out of your way now by jumping threads to go at em. Good shyt with the instagram catch but damn, you proved your point.

Still though he does know and is friends with everyone in LA. Everyone 'name drops' in Los Angeles you guys thought The Game was the only person who did that? :laugh:

edit: Also Kunta is right. You would be surprised the kind of things rich white people spend their money on. It may not be expensive jewelry you can see but you might not see that they can only bath in pure VOSS water and yes people buy 20k chains.....for their dogs. Not joking. Rich people are eccentric regardless of their skin color. You guys just don't know all that many rich people outside of magazines it seems.

I doubt I will lose any sleep over your opinion.

Im just saying. You do not buy jewelry as an investment. If you are trying to say its comparable to buying pure gold your a moron. Do you really think you will be able to profit from it? Chances are, you get desperate and take it to pawn and will get racked.

I just think it sends a poor message to the kids who idolize these guys. They think they need to spend every bit of money they have on clothes, jewelry, bullshyt. Watch this and get back to me.

:snoop::snoop::snoop:

A Rolex is different from having a diamond car logo on your chest
one can be classy, the other is for idiots

Raw gold has high liquidity
A stupid rap chain... who's gonna buy that shyt from you?
And who would melt their custom jewelry down when what they paid for was the customization?

:snoop::snoop::snoop:
At best when Push is done with chain he'll throw it to one of the homies and that's it

Who has ever heard of a rapper melting their jewelry down :stopitslime:

:umad: there are smart and dumb ways to spend expendable income

you can argue that Push needs a chain to market his image as a rapper but beyond that it's a stupid financial decision
period

Who's gonna buy a custom piece that was made for you? you're the only one who wants a chain like that, you can't sell it off easily :umad:

I'd rather co-sign dropping money in a spa or whatever than a Mercedes logo chain that shyt is classless b :aicmon:

A rap chain does not retain value

As soon as you turn it into a rap chain it loses all its value :aicmon:
If you turn it back into raw goods you'll get some value back but then you overpaid by like 100% just for raw gold and mediocre diamonds :umad:

Dog he claims he sold his shoes for a million... how much you think he spent? How many hours do you think he spent collecting? :umad:

People wanna focus on the reward and ignore the costs... yeah you might be able to flip a $20K chain for $6K in materials but who's gonna do that?

Who? The jeweller? Nah I never heard of him til the other thread

We're not even talking about him we're talking to these idiots who think buying a rap chain is the same as buying commodities :what:

:ehh: and maybe that is a typical LA thing but those type of dudes are lame as fokk :mjpls: and when they're on the radio for no reason :wtf:

This is sooooo fake... again, play into the ego and spend spend spend.

I highly doubt this is real. You really think there happened to be a camera man when Rob Kardashian called? Its all bullshart. You people are sheep if you believe this.

This nonsense is EL :trash: (no pun to the crackhead artist)

Ben Baller is a recycled Jacob that will be forgotten in a year or less. He just happens to be the guy of the "moment". This is a joke.

For some reason it seemed like you knew him cuz you went in on em :manny:

Im not saying its cool people in LA name drop but yeah, they do. City is filled with athletes, artists, and movie stars so it all about who you know. Just the way it is.

As for the radio, his stories are at least more interesting than some of the boring ass rappers they get up there. Gotta at least give em that.
