@Rekkapryde it's not even about being a stereotype. He's playing that typical "perfect athlete" corporate shill role that can be really off putting.
I don't care either way but I can see why some wouldn't like it
Oh no doubt, but that's usually just bitter hating mufukkaz. You are who you are and if that is who is really is, then
Now if he's frontin'.........
Problem I've always had with our people especially is when nikkaz try to be something they aren't ( acting "hood" is the worst ) when you know you aint bout dat life. Most mufukkaz are just regular nikkaz. I give the side-eye all the time to some of the younger brothers where I live trying too hard. Living in the neighborhood I live in aint nothing like living in the hood nikka.
But then again, what do we expect when it's the same image of us being portrayed all the time in movies, tv, music, etc.
I expected at least one brother to be in his close knit group, but then again looking at where he was raised and went to school, I can understand if those are his homies. More importantly, his teammates are cool with him so obviously he aint that much of a gump. We definitely would have heard something by now if he was.
