shiet if thats the case, you should be questioning hiphop in its entirety. who should we blame for that? execs? nah playa.

they not making dudes yell triple 'nikkas' in a hook. this dude song is name hot nikka and its the hottest song of the year thats what you should be questioning.

misdirected outrage ....again.


I do question hip-hop...I question it all the time....but this is just egregious...and the fact you are attempting to deflect it and justify is just as bad

my nikka, just say it hurt your ancestral soul watching him jump on that table and call it a wrap.

I didnt see him looking like a monkey, because I dont see us as monkeys. I just saw some kid doing some extra in a room and selling the song like an entertainer shucker would, nothing more nothing less. I view my people a bit differently than you tho, so we will just have to agree to disagree.


Its not about viewing people differently its about self respect.

The thing is he had the fame already breh.

This is obviously a leech deal, to take a cut out of everything he earns.

Theres a bit of value you have to be conscious of when you walk into a business transaction.

He probably saw a $1MM 360 Marketing Budget and thought he was about to score a million dollars and he just went all in:mjlol:

Where is Sha Money in all this? :snoop: Talk about hustlin' backwards :facepalm:Nikka could have make that same $500-1M staying independent. Nikkaz sellin' their whole future for a Manhattan high rise and a CLK :smh:

Again, would it have been selling his dignity if he were white? no. youd see him as selling himself extra doing improv, you want to try to tie this to the past when it has nothing to do with it.

you remind me of those dudes that wont order the chicken because some white folks are looking at them. this is something you need to sort out yourself broski.

DONT ORDER THE CHICKEN YOU KNOW HOW YOU LOOK RIGHT NOW, THINK ABOUT PAST, ITS ABOUT SELF RESPECT, CONDUCT YOURSELF APPROPRIATELY AND ORDER THE FISH. replace chicken with table 2 stepping.

my nikka Shmurda out here ordering the chicken, because hes hungry and doesnt like fish.

Why are you turning this into a black inferiority complex?

If a cac like miley cyrus was in there slapping her p*ssy sliding her body all over the table yes itd still be selling dignity

If Chief Keef was in there shirtless with prop Uzis and handguns "doing his routine" yes itd be selling dignity.

You really dont get it:russ:

:scust:What in thee fukk is he doin? That ain't a standard audition in the least bit. Truth be told most record companies have a separate stage for performing on. I remember when I use to try and get record deals Sony had an actual stage in their offices and the vibe was completely different. It was A&Rs and managers not this bullshyt. There is no way to defend this shyt at all. His team don't give a fukk about him if they the ones that put this video out.

Let's be reality, if Bobby stayed independent and charged as little as $10K per show and did a nationwide tour, he'd clear 200 racks easy. EASY. Add concert merch to that plus ringtone money he is sittin on $500K EASY. Put some money down on an apartment, invest the rest in a small studio, and get it poppin' :obama: These nikkaz sell out for the FAME these days, not even the money :snoop:

It's not that easy breh, sure Lil B and Macklemore are indie, but being on a label has someone paying for your studio time and distributing you on a mass scale. Not saying he's right for going major, but he may not have another viral hit, and a label gives him a temporary safety net.

my point exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

none of which is RACIAL THAT WAS THE POINT!!!!!!!

its not a minstreal show, the nikka is doing what folks do in auditions. selling themselves like some fools , welcome to the biz. but to make it appear as tho they got him in a zoo, blah blah monkey this and that, thats some deep rooted self inferiority complex man, thats some shyt a lot of you need to dig deep and think about after you log out. the first thing to come to your mind is monkey in a zoo and not some entertainer selling himself...thats some deep rooted scaring right there. and it needs to be sorted BEFORE the table jiving stops. table jiving will be here as long as entertainers are here, this other subconscious thought needs to be sorted separately.

the first thing to come to my mind wasnt a monkey, it was some kid selling himself, dignity whatever you want to call it. altho it wasnt as bad as p*ssy poppin or keef uzi shooting.

NIKKA MAKING MONEY IS NOT EASY!!!! Anybody who tells you otherwise is selling you a dream. You gotta grind, you gotta struggle. But if you got as far as Bobby did with his grind, why stop there? Do 3-5 NYC/NJ shows. Take that money, do some Philly/Boston/CT shows, Take that money, do some DC/DMV shows. Take that money, do some Florida/ATL shows, etc etc. How you a hustler and not know how to turn 10 in 20, 20 into a 100, 100 into 250, 250 into half a milly? :why:
