Going to stanford doesn't take away from your experience before and after. I went there, I'm also still from a very middle class family, grew up in oakland public schools, and have family members both on drugs and in jail. i can paint pictures from both sides
He probably never lived in a ghetto in his life though. Or maybe he did. I still think that with his image he could get away with promoting college to the youth in ways that others can't. He already on a trap/Mustard beat, anything he rapped about would work.

I give you that, I was surprised he went this way when his music has always been a lot more conscious, but this song is as well in a more accessible way. Also, what does living in a ghetto have to do with anything? I didn't live in the ghetto, but I was around a bunch of hood muthafukkas

He's implying he's involved with the drug selling, not that he merely knows some people who sell drugs.

It's a difference. To me it's like Drake rapping about street shyt his friends do. He's not from the street so the validity factor isn't there. If you're not from it then that means you had to go looking for it to find it. As someone from it, to me I get angry when I see people trying to run to shyt that I desperately wanted to escape. Most hood cats wish they grew up like Jidenna did. Dude grew up well off. He had to go looking for trap nikkas if he hangs with any.

You would get clowned more in high school if you dressed like Allen Iverson in the 90's than you would if you dressed like Jidenna in 2015. Wear that baggy shyt if you want to, you'd be an outcast.


Going to high school in 2015 like

Not really, I went to the same schools, who you think I'm gonna be friends with and what type of shyt you think we're going to do? My first cousins are all from the deep east, what type of fukkery you think we're getting into? I ddint have to look for anything, it was there, as corny as it sounds some good kid mad city shyt
