His personal life is actually his main rep as an artist... unfortunately & ridiculously some people fall for this crap. :shakehead: I totally know what you mean to be honest.

well if someone does excellent music about their thug life when in reality he is just a dude from upper class family who has never done anything illegal but why should i care about him as a person?
After all it's all about the music, so basicly being a fraud shouldnt affect anything.

There were times when hip-hop was all about rappers been authentic & all that... plus his music is a mix of just good, average & semi wack ish with zero substance for the most part.

Nah... there are nice & authentic young cats too & some of them are gonna hold their ground for a long time IMO. Times & music are all different indeed though.

I wouldn't if his entire character didn't centre around it and if he wasn't such an absurd liar.

He's living a pure fantasy character he's invented in his head... I don't really care and never care about 'cred' - as I don't listen to gangster music or rap which relies or is founded in that... but I just find it very strange that people in the industry and other artists still act like he's authentic...

When he's a bigger fraud than Vanilla Ice. Like I said - contrary to common talk within hip-hop, blacks actually get way more of a pass, just because they're black and hip-hop is seen as black. As can you imagine now seriously if he was white? Having been a corrections officer / total liar and pretending to be Scarface... nobody would work with him and he would be laughed out of rap.

Boss, it's what I does

Black flag on the left, two hoes and ride
You better, move! Ak all day
Get shot up like Shyne, that's on my neck
I'm (B.I.G.) like Diddy
Damn it, I'm wit' it
Khaled we did it, Biggie of my city
Please no fitted, fuck it, I'm too pretty
The rappers can get brain, stupid, I'm silly
Money that come, runnin' like water
Mami so hot, damn it, she gorgeous
Miami on fire, you better be, cautious
Might get shot on the porch of your fortress
Now they see that you know I'm from Port City
I run in 'cause Rick Ross is boss shit


PS: I still love this song We Takin' Over...dope af imo :y:


Jesus... that's a real verse? that's fucking abysmal lmao.

Fucking Carly Rae Jepsen could write a better verse than that...........blind......with both hands amputated. Edit: I put my ears and quite possibly my life on the line by listening to about a minute of that "We takin' over" song. :facepalm
Fuckme.
You guys listen to horrible music. Gawd.

Ray...the thing is he has been aight at times musically... he's definitely had his moments here & there but at the same time he's been wack at times too & most of it delusional & one who overestimates himself & his clique way more than normal from day one.
