Shout out to the drug dealers that sell a pack and do this when they gotta re-up, pay rent, and buy groceries the next day :mjlol:

Trust me, they are ok. I know plenty of people in that tax bracket. That data looks sketchy btw, why are they excluding checking accounts?

And although I don't have any desire to put my own finances on here, it's safe to say you didn't strike a nerve.

No one who knows how to properly save & invest money should ever be jealous of an uneducated 20 year old with a million dollars.

Rappers and football players specifically look incredibly silly when they try to floss too hard. Their careers are so short, what are they going to do when their earning power takes a nosedive?
Always gotta find nikkas hating under bogus guises smdh. Now every rapper athlete goes broke now smfh. Jealously will always seep out

And that's your problem right there.....who the fukk needs Rakim, KRS, or Kane to raise them? This is entertainment. This is an art form. Stop acting like Jay is your pops or something. You're a weirdo. KRS was preaching knowledge of self and the community, it didn't stop Jay from "bytching and ho'ing" his way to the top of the charts. So don't come in here acting like Jay is falling on the sword for the greater good. The homie is still flossing. He even told you himself...."my wife Beyonce, I brag different". Ain't nothing changed with Jay. He's still bragging. nikkas getting enamored with the same big willy talk Jay been doing all because he talking about paintings, shares of Roc Nation talk, and spending money on Puff liquor instead of someone elses. I'm sure there's someone that's a billionaire at Sherwin Williams that make the paint powder for something simple like the shelves at Target that looks at Jay "bragging" on his money as "ignorant and childish" too. Also.....Jay isn't one either....no matter how many times he reference himself as one.

That dude throwing the $ around :martin: Do what you want with your $ but seriously , who wants to have to pick all that up? LOL
I always wonder the same shyt. Like... does this nikka throw all this money and then pick all that shyt right up after the video goes off? Does he double check to make sure he didn't foget some behind the toilet? Does he pay somebody to pick it up and reorganize it? He did it in a 7-11 once. I was buffuddled. Purely perplexed. I really think it's movie money or something.

Come on, man. Cut it out. Most trends on the back end are corny. Don't act like Jay wasn't there when long platinum chains were the rave, or the gaudy bracelets, or big over sized earrings, etc. He spent the bulk of his career hustling depreciating corny shyt. He did nothing but stunt. Now that he's 50 years old acting like a Wells Fargo advisor, we're supposed to forget that? Let the youngins stunt on the gram. Times have changed....all that flossing you did in those million dollar Hype Williams videos ain't no different than them stunting in 50 second clips on the new form of media.
Say it louder for the people in the back

What is it with you sensitive young nyggas?
Can't tell the TRUTH to you kids, any form of critique is considered as "hating".
The whole preoccupation with "haters" is some real poverty culture silliness anyway.

Spare me nikka. Sensitive doesn't equal disagreeing with you nikka. Any form of critique isn't hating so stop trying to talk your shyt without no one disagreeing nikka. I disagree and think your hating and I don't think everyone is a hater so again spare me. I don't know about poverty culture my dude so I guess that's something you can speak on.

Probably true but that's never my point in these things. Dudes just want to low key hate and always bring up someone else failing. How about the ones making bank and still balling? Some want to focus on the ones that make them feel good for some reason. That's why I said what I said. I also don't check every athletes pocket just like I'm sure you don't so outside of some stats that don't even tell the whole story how do you know how dudes living?

Here's the thing...

Holding some racks up to your ear is a form of stunting...just like shooting multi million dollar Hype Williams videos in the early 2000's with Dame on yachts pouring champagne on video models and jumping out of private jets in slow motion is stunting.

It's hard to tell niccas "we don't do that" at 50 years old when you were 30+ doing the same shyt, just in a different manner. If we keep it all the way a buck this nicca Jay was 40+ still sagging his pants. So trying to dictate to a younger generation about "class" and "respectability" because you're old enough to be somebody's grandad now is difficult when so much of your adult life is easily accessible and the imagery you gave the public was that of man who indulged in showing off his wealth.

The average person has less than 1,000 in savings. The average person also has crippling credit card and college debt. I don't know if I struck a nerve with my post but 60,000 at 30 plus definitely isn't living well. Especially when compared to a 20 year old with half a million net worth.


Are you living well?
