Bun B: “Jay-Z Is Getting Richer And He’s Not Wearing Things That Make Him Look Rich”

[Fanservice]

I think what he is tryna say is that hov dont dress loud and unless you are into watches and fashion you wont truly wont understand it

most ppl will think a richard millie is a fukking toy watch not realizing that one can run you a townhome in delaware

This. Nikkas in here are just acting dumb.

Bun is basically saying Jay doesn’t dress like your average rapper that “tries” to look rich.

Example:

 

[28 Gramz]

He should have worded it differently. The shyt Jay rocks is mad expensive but it's not loud and show offy like most rappers. Dude has plain watches worth more than nikkas whole diamond jewelry sets.

 

[Chip Skylark]

That’s what I just said….. And that’s the point not looking like you’re trying to show off your wealth is a rich guy thing to do. Bun’s point was people dress in a way that they think demonstrates wealth, but the wealthiest people actually look down on that. Now whether you care about what they think is another thing. Those same people also wouldn’t wear the gold ropes that Jay and Nas have.

And this is where you are wrong. Jay literally went out of his way to show people his 6 million dollar watch, I follow the guy that makes Jays suits on IG cause Jay was literally talking about them all the time, Jay for 5 five years was talking about million dollar paintings.

This whole assumptions that wealthy people don’t show wealth and flaunt it is just another way to talk down on people who aren’t that purchase those items.

cause rich people one way or another is gonna show you theyre rich

Basically move smarter...

Its okay to rock designer and big jewels as long as you know you putting a target on yourself.
Its okay to have a foreign supercar but same as above (target) and if you spend $150k on the whip have at least 2x that amount left in the bank.
Depreciation is real - fashion and trends fade - invest in things that make you money even when you're sleeping.
I like rocking nice sh-t however the majority of my wealth can't be worn or driven or put on a platinum card.

Big chains and flashy cars and fast living are 100% rap and being a rockstar - nothing wrong with that however we are a solid 30yrs into hiphop making people superstars and Jay-Z and Bun have both seen the same stuff cycle over and over again with people being rich only on paper and lacking any real assets and going broke or back to where they started.
Dudes like e40 and Snoop and Jay-Z and are creating avenues and businesses where wealth can be diversified.
And at the end of the day the richest folks know when to flex and when to move low-key.
Only thing you gotta prove is to your family and the IRS

Cam got 3 of those

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Jay is 56, why does Bun expect Hov to dress like he did in 1999?

 

[SupaVillain]

I really hate comments like this “rich people don’t wear items to look rich”

Hov was literally flaunting a 6 million dollar watch a few months ago

Jay-Z Shocks Watch World with $6.5 Million Patek Philippe

Bun is a hoe ass nikka anyway

how so?

 

[-DMP-]

Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect hoe?

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect hoe?

On top of that, Camel got 4-5 Geoffreies at his disposal. Ie: Ty, Emory, etc etc.



It must be nice.

I’m not going back and forth with you, the point is simple and you’re playing dumb. The bolded literally makes no sense FYI.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

It’s not like we don’t know they buy expensive shyt lol. They’re not buying them was once and it’s over shirts and shyt. That fast fashion. People who do that with less money never get props for it.. people always giving it up to rich people for not looking rich. So what.. They’re sleeping on sheets that cost more than sone folks wardrobes

 

[Budda]

This. Nikkas in here are just acting dumb.

Bun is basically saying Jay doesn’t dress like your average rapper that “tries” to look rich.

Example:

Jay is also 50, let the young nikkas be young.

 

[ajnapoleon]

how so?

Pimp c said bun is too friendly


But once you 35 plus with Grey's in your beard what the reason to be like that


No need to be Wilding

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Hov still be rocking streetwear but he also flexes occasionally

 

[Reptile]

Jay is also 50, let the young nikkas be young.

Jim Jones in his mid 40s dressing like that.
