Do you want your rappers to live their lyrics? Be who they say they are...

[Diondon]

I look at movies and rap the same, its entertainment
Just be entertaining
Embellishment is the cornerstone of rap lol
I'm also a grown ass man that stopped believing in Santa Claus a long time ago

 

[FTBS]

Ar ab could rap as well

And where is he now? Hows that latest album? Beyond the societal impact, on a purely selfish level, if a nikka is really living that street life he ain't gonna be around to give you that music you enjoy for long.

 

[Big Boss]

Yeah if you don't really go to the cemetery and dig up dead bodies I can't listen to you

yep rather listen to ICP

 

[Cladyclad]

Your favorite movies are made by actors who also do not live the gangsta lifestyle.

Sounds like you got a lot of boycotting to do.

Hope you not a gamer. Cause no one can shoot fireballs from their hands IRL

U slow lol

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Yea. Just stop lying. Why does someone have to be killed or a nïgga bytch gotta be took for the shyt to be entertaining? You can literally rap about anything. You can rap about your job, family, going to the grocery store, taking your kids to school, going on field trips as a kid etc.

seen slim get a bentley before he signed to interscope

seen slim loan jeezy cars for the diamond video shoot

gillie n walla thought boys bullshyttin til they came to slims garage

 

[OneManGang]

I don’t like being lied to. I don’t require street rap, but if you gonna be a street rapper I need you to be authentic

Edit: and the movie angle is not the same. No one goes to see a movie thinking the actors are actually who they are portraying. Rappers try to sell you on the authenticity angle that’s the difference

 

[WIA20XX]

Turns out that Special Ed did not have a dog, a frog, or a solid gold bone. Made me lose faith in rap music.

 

[Cladyclad]

I don’t like Juicy no more because it’s cap

 

[Yehuda]

If I like the rapper I ignore the exposals and if I dislike him I pull his card to demoralize him.

 

[28 Gramz]

AR-AB has to be the most authentic of all time, right?

Him and King Von are on the short list of rappers I'm 100% convinced have killed multiple people. Soulja Slim is also on there.

 

[Flav]

in this hypothetical what if it's less about being the opposite and more of promoting something positive?

would that make him less authentic?

If they promote a positive image but from the streets I expect them to tell the people they been in a negative space and that’s not the way to go.

“I was facing 25 with a L so I had to change my ways.”

 

[Pop123]

So Lupe was a high ranking drug dealer or was he rapping his manager life and what he saw around him?

The Lupe was a gangsta shyt gets pushed a lot on here and I just don’t see/hear/feel it.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

I'll leave this here

Who yall rather listen to a full album of?

Freddie gibbs or crunchy black?

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Yes, and if they crash out the kids need to see what comes with that lifestyle. They need to see you begging the judge for a second chance... Snitching to save yourself. All that shyt

A harmless dude rapping about how great it is to sell drugs and shoot people from the safety of his mansion while he makes his money legitimately is immoral.

And is actually selling drugs and shooting people is any better?

Say what you want about the former, but at least they're no real victims
