Yeah now post the rest of their content.

My nigga, a disgruntled employee from Scales own restaurant is not the goddamn same thing as a nigga thinking he gonna pull a lick on a rapper’s entire jewelry and you know that. That’s why you brought him up with none of THAT context huh Black?

And that’s not just rappers that’s most celebrities lol. Some of these actors’ll be posted up with security in the rich areas being a public celebrity puts a target on your back. BUT the target is less big when you say, for example don’t walk around with rent money on your neck (e.g. once again, i seen earl walking into a random bodega on a saturday night in crown heights. As gentrified as it is, niggas are still outside bro lol)

What EYE am saying is when niggas say things like “rappers is the most dangerous job” or “black culture needs a reset” it rubs me the wrong way. ESPECIALLY the latter like bill o reilly coulda said that in ‘05.

ESPECIALLY when majority of the people in this thread spitting that rhetoric aint gonna make a change to uplift and champion the rappers that try to push against these violent themes in said culture. Niggas talk all this “need a reset/culture change” s*** just to keep pushing the same ol rappers that push the violent culture they was just in this thread crying about.

Just to get mad when rappers can’t do shows no more cause they get barred from festivals or weapon-related. FoH

Tl;dr: It’s nothing to do with culture unless the culture we talkin bout is “haves and the have nots.”

bruh what do you mean post the rest of their content? Nappy Roots are not street dudes their biggest song is f***ing good days ffs calling them gangsters would be like saying outkast and the roots are gangsters. they are a southern concious group. I dont know if you're from the south but thats what they are known as down there

And I didn't purposely bring up anything with no context. I know nappy roots so when i heard scales got shot and f***ing kidnapped thats the first thing I thought about when you tried to say concious are somehow immune to targeting.

and lmao first of all, do you really think street niggas who actively rob people know who earl sweatshirt is? Like if they see him in a group they'll pick him out? If you say yes, you're lying

2, the regular niggas standing outside a bodega are not the niggas robbing and shooting rappers

3, even though you already said it, the heights is not where you gonna find those typa niggas b. But I guarantee you, a rapper everyone knows walks into that same bodega and drops location? it won't end well

btw you have literally hit every f***ing checkbox in my post before this

And that’s not just rappers that’s most celebrities lol.

So you admit that my point, that rappers are targeted, is true but since concious rappers(the older gen of them at least) don't rock jewelry around their neck that they are somehow immune to it? That is simply not true my guy. You ignored that what I said in my example about kendrick is true cuz you couldn't deny it :canyoustop:

Some of these actors’ll be posted up with security in the rich areas.

B there are actors who will go to any outside event period with security
They have security so they don't get mobbed by fans or paparazzi which isn't remotely the same reason most rappers need security

being a public celebrity puts a target on your back. BUT the target is less big when you say, for example don’t walk around with rent money on your neck

Partly true but you can't tell me that a famous rapper doesn't attract a different type of trouble. Leonardo DiCaprio isn't gonna find himself around here (Baltimore) but if he does he's probably gonna be ignored until he gets recognized by somebody who is a fan who's probably gonna ask for a picture and not put a gun to his face. Whole time could have 100k watch on and 2x that in his pockets. Cole, Chance, or Dot does that exact same thing in the same place jewelry on or not and you think it'll end well?

What EYE am saying is when niggas say things like “rappers is the most dangerous job” or “black culture needs a reset” it rubs me the wrong way. ESPECIALLY the latter like bill o reilly coulda said that in ‘05.

EYE didn't say this and i don't think anyone itt said this either. The post that you quoted and said was wrong was that being a rapper puts a target on your back. I've explained how it does and you seemingly agreed. I actually disagree with both those things you said

ESPECIALLY when majority of the people in this thread spitting that rhetoric aint gonna make a change to uplift and champion the rappers that try to push against these violent themes in said culture. Niggas talk all this “need a reset/culture change” s*** just to keep pushing the same ol rappers that push the violent culture they was just in this thread crying about

My guy nothing anyone says on this site is ever gonna make a change in that regard and you shaming people for listening to a type of music (that btw isn't the most listened to type of rap on this site) is not going to make a change either.

I have to ask, anything you do outside of this site that helps uplift that change you're talking about? Im assuming yes because you seem passionate about it and I'm sure multiple posters itt can vouch to have seen you say this exact thing before. Whatever it may be fill me in b. Genuinely interested

never said they was gangstas either. When I think of conscious rappers I'm thinking like niggas like yasiin bey or Lupe for example. But I'm saying bringing up a personal quarrel to prove your point that "conscious niggas" get robbed too doesn't help your argument.

do you really think street niggas who actively rob people know who earl sweatshirt is? Like if they see him in a group they'll pick him out? If you say yes, you're lying

I know you not saying earl sweatshirt of all people isn't a recognizable face. The same nigga that was made fun of on wax and social media because of how big his lips is?

I know that's not what you saying.

2, the regular niggas standing outside a bodega are not the niggas robbing and shooting rappers

ehhhhhhhhhhh says who dawg lmfao. The niggas robbing or shooting rappers have it advertised on their body?

3, even though you already said it, the heights is not where you gonna find those typa niggas b. But I guarantee you, a rapper everyone knows walks into that same bodega and drops location? it won't end well

Most people in general shouldn't drop their locations b.

true but since concious rappers(the older gen of them at least) don't rock jewelry around their neck that they are somehow immune to it?

If more rappers stopped rocking rent money on their neck, the lions and hyenas would definitely be less attracted towards them my guy.

I'd like to beleve the same for Dot and Chance personally speaking. Ask Cole how that s*** be going cause that nigga be riding around random places on a goddamn bike with his freeform locs

(that btw isn't the most listened to type of rap on this site)

I mean look at the billboard charts in what's the most popular type of rap lol. it's mad threads on how "gangsta music" is the popular rap now lol.

yall love to do this in an argument as a gotcha moment and as a real life working musician that both works with and does music that doesn't try to fit the status quo of what is mostly expected of people my skin tone, it's a pretty dishonest little online tactic in an e-argument. I'm outty b.

What you and I see as concious is different then. Just understand what I say is the consensus in that regard. And again didn't know the context because I didn't dig that deep. you did so good on you. definitely doesn't help what I'm saying if thats true. might look into it later

I know you not saying earl sweatshirt of all people isn't a recognizable face. The same nigga that was made fun of on wax and social media because of how big his lips is? I know that's not what you saying

You gotta be trolling or you just not knowing. Not trying to say this maliciously but you thinking this rubs me as someone who don't be around other niggas like talking about. Because you can go to every corner in this city and no one will recognize Earl f***ing sweatshirt. That is a shoot and a miss on your part fam. Bad example

ehhhhhhhhhhh says who dawg lmfao. The niggas robbing or shooting rappers have it advertised on their body?

Again reinforcing my last statement. The niggas chilling outside a cornerstone aren't hardened criminals my nigga. they are regular people lol

Most people in general shouldn't drop their locations b

MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NIGGAS TRYING TO ROB OR SHOOT THEM Are you kidding me my nigga what are we talking about rn

If more rappers stopped rocking rent money on their neck, the lions and hyenas would definitely be less attracted towards them my guy.

Again didn't say it wouldn't help. Said it wouldn't make them immune bro. Read what I said again

I'd like to beleve the same for Dot and Chance personally speaking. Ask Cole how that s*** be going cause that nigga be riding around random places on a goddamn bike with his freeform locs

I guarantee Cole has some stories to tell you about that. And Cole doesn't bike through the hood I guarantee you that.

I mean look at the billboard charts in what's the most popular type of rap lol. it's mad threads on how "gangsta music" is the popular rap now lol

Not talking about billboards. I specifically said this site b. Idk where you getting all these things I didn't say from b. you seem flustered

yall love to do this in an argument as a gotcha moment and as a real life working musician that both works with and does music that doesn't try to fit the status quo of what is mostly expected of people my skin tone, it's a pretty dishonest little online tactic in an e-argument. I'm outty b

Bro I promise you can just say you don't. Just say no you don't. Nobody here is expecting that from you. It's fine you see it that way but I'm not looking at it as a gotcha and i wasn't using it like that. I'm just trying to find out where this passion is coming from and if it's actually being used for something. It's cool that you see that making music that isn't rap is going towards that quo (it's 2022 black people have been making whatever type of music they want for a while now but fasho) but that uplift you were just trying to put hold this site accountable for just a post ago ain't coming from you either.

Listen, you sound like a cool dude just cut back on shaming on ppl on here and get off the high horse. It's a bad look and I aint the only one who's peeped it. You do that and you might make a difference here yet.
stay on point brother and stay blessed
