Works for actors and actresses. You see paparazzi snapping them they tryna hide who they are with low baseball caps and regular clothes, I don't know why rap nikkas haven't done this. Rappers just have to stand out:palm:
It works for actors because people understand that they play a character for 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time. Rappers are expected to bring authenticity and autobiographical content, and social media has amplified the need to stay in character 24/7 because they're accessible 24/7.

Rappers flashing or needing to be "a real nikka" is on the fans.

Would you consider De La Soul (specifically Buhloone Mindstate and Stakes Is High albums) or The Roots backpack rappers? Because it started with them.







If you are going to post the What They Do video, it has to be the one with the text:

Funny thing is back in my idealist college militant pro black days I had fantasies of getting stuck up and convincing them to fight white supremacy instead :mjlol:
