i feel you. this kid should get some better security. but a guy like Floyd, specifically Floyd, has a damn near whole micro-economy revolving around him. dudes in Floyd's orbit are probably making more legit money than someone like Rich the Kid. its tough for a rapper. the leased whips, fugazi jewels, the vanity imprint that Moscowitz lets you have...still doesnt equate to enough for you to hire real staff.

but at the same time it shouldnt cost that much to use a firm and just rent a trained dude with a burner on him to ride with you when you're running around :yeshrug:

maybe im a hater but i :lolbron: every time this kid gets robbed:mjlol: i dont wanna see a young dude lose his life but theres something particularily funny about this kid getting robbed
Security is expensive for a artists like rich the kid gotta go the Chris Brown route and hire gangbangers

Rappers back then got robbed too, especially in NYC. Always depended on the type of person they were. Anyone can get robbed it’s how you retaliate tho.

Of course but now with IG, Snapchat and all these social media platforms it’s way too easy like taking candy from a baby or riches from a kid

A lot of these rappers come to the west and set up shop. Once you do that, unless you're making millions, you can't afford real security to be with you all the time, so next best thing is to hire gang members. It's not smart, but you're kinda fukked either way. If you don't pay, nikkas gonna beat you in the head every chance they get for your jewels and cash until you decide to pay. Or you can pay nikkas and now they see you as food, and so they still gonna rob you steal from you but do it without harming you physically. And once you stop paying them, it's back to getting beat in the head again.

Unless you have a connection out West, that isn't dependent on an exchange of finance or favors, you're kinda fukked as an entertainer if you want to be extroverted. Now, if you never go to clubs, just do your shows and go home, then you could be straight. But nobody moves to LA to be a homebody. nikkas wanna be around other celebrities, groupies, etc..so you gonna need some kinda muscle to hold you down if you walking around with all these jewels and money on you.

Last option is bringing in nikkas from back home, but the problem with that is, you can't afford to move 5-6 homies to another city, and pay them a salary to survive on, unless you, yourself, are making a shyt load of money. Most of them aren't. (I mean, they are to take care of themselves and their families but not enough to take care of 5 other peoples families) Hench, nikkas coming out here getting robbed and beat up.

but this is more specifically for rappers or people in hip hop media/culture prolly right

ed sheeran aint getting shot at in the studio unless hes there when rich the kid or soulja boy is

Ed Sheeran has enough money to have security. You'd have to bring up a white artist on the same level as Rich The Kid. And if you don't even know who a comparable artist is then I doubt these gang members will know either. It's just a simple matter of awareness. You can't rob someone you don't know even exists. The other issue is rappers like Rich The Kidd have "anti-police" "no snitching" image they have to adhere to. A white artist doesn't. Then you have the whole systemic racism issue. Let a string of white artists start getting robbed and LAPD is kicking every gang members door down by next week.

And lastly these white artists aren't walking around with $50k+ plus in jewelery and cash or at least they're not advertising that they are. If you run down on Ed Sheeran right now you might get $500 and a harmonica. Rich The kidd is posting pics of all the cash and jewels he got.

exactly, thatnks for clarifying

basically you wanna be careful in LA anyways, its not always immediately evident that youre in a place that you can get got

but going out there and showing out with all your money and ice, you need to be prepared, cuz folks can get caught lackin in any part of the city really

This is the downside of running off on the plug he failed to mention in the song.
