The "rappers who kept it real and look where that got you" thread

[Trajan]

Are we just naming cats who went to jail or rappers who tried to live out their rhymes and got hit with a reality check?

If it's the latter I would say:

T.I - talking greasy to Ohio goons and getting his boy bodied.

Tony Yayo - Slapping Jimmy Henchman's 14-year-old son and getting his boy bodied.

Young Berg - Approaching Maino while drunk and tryna press him. Got fire smacked out of him.

Stack Bundles - Coming home to Redfern Projects from parties, dolo, looking fly and pushing a Porsche Boxster. Stack is my dude tho. This is borderline.

Young Buck - Stabbing a dude on national TV for Dre. Where's Dre now?

...word, is he STILL locked up?

Is it for that same incident (home invasion/murder) back in the early '90s, or something else?

Yup he's served 20 of the 31 years he was sentenced to

Since when is keeping it real being self destructive ?
There are also plenty of rappers who "kept it real" and
they're successful, stupid fukking thread idea.

For every instance of keepin it real goin wrong you can point to a nikka that faced imminent defeat and came back to win.

Snoop got tested, his bodyguard caught a body, he beat the murder charge and the rest is history. If he would have got life would his music be any less classic?

P-Diddy is a real live snake that almost got his balloon popped in the club, had his goon (Shyne) bust back and could have did real time for that, but he beat the charges now you new cats stan him cause he still eatin, even tho he had to fukk damn near everybody he signed just to stay on top.

If you in the game, then you will be tested. Unless you just pop all your shyt from behind a computer screen.

Why you keep telling this lie like the details of his contract didn't get leaked for all the world to see not too long ago, saying the complete opposite

it's always one extreme or the other with most people.

why does someone either:

A: super thug shooting in clubs, selling coke, fighting, busting their guns and in the hood 94% of the time OR...

B: super fake rick ross style or from rich parents, great upbringing in a gated community etc and then rap as if they are thugs.

why do we always have to act like these are the only two possible ways to do it, as if no one is somewhere in between?

bein a normal regualr ass nikka dont cut it in rap..u lways gotta throw some tough guy in it..nobody wants to be called soft lol
