In hip-hop, the temptation to do audacious and overstretch yourself is easy to understand. After all, the genre is more crowded than ever and in order to get a piece of that coveted real estate, it’s been proven that sometimes, it takes a lot more than lyrical acumen or a couple of serviceable songs to break out.
But where someone of the caliber of Eminem has his mentor Dr Dre to tell him when he was going “too far” on Kamikaze and compelled him to tone it down, it’s safe to say that when ambition takes the lead over common sense, little can stop you from making an error that a veteran may be able to avoid.
With that said, it’s time to delve into times in which rappers, in pursuit of fame, clout, street credentials or some combination of the three, have gone too far.

Lil Uzi Vert with the diamond in his head is a perfect example of "just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it."
Big facts! Everything about the SoundCloud rappers was extra though tbh. I don't think too many people outside of high school took any of them seriously.
He had a Vision.
The memes from when someone tried to snatch it off his face were so next level. What do you expect when you're walking around with a lifetime of cash for grabs
JESUS THE KING will return‼🤍of men are cold in the last days 🖤turn now,for What is the deal if you gain the whole world but still lose your own soul 💉🧬💯☠God will judge the world.Repent‼just like in the days of Noah
They
Wait until hip hop finds out how much diamonds are over priced.
Rappers have been scammed outta millions for worthless stones that are worth less than 1/100th than the price they paid for them
Facts. And ruining what would be a good investment in a luxury watch by opening it up and filling it up with low tier stones. Pretty funny.
This channel actually posted in the past a nice small essay dedicated to this very problem and how it's aknowledged among some of the more level-headed peers in the culture, yet it still continues being a big trouble, you might want to check it out
@@arthurcharlie2873 absolutely. Those hand made watches are a work of art by themselves and dudes deface and devalue em cause they wanna decorate em with sparkly gemstones 😂
Gold is wayyyyy better
@@sirraldnus8590 I totally agree! it’s Weird though because gold and silver has been manipulated to keep the price lower than it should be
Big central banks sell gold to one another by the Ton. They never exchange physical gold between them. They only buy and sell tons of gold and silver to one another on paper because the price they claim to have bought or sold the tons of gold/silver sets the price for the rest of the market.
It’s basically being manipulated in the opposite way diamonds are manipulated
The crazy thing is that Mexican dude did all that and had fake gold on his head😂😂😂😂
Hes a 🤡
Lol, I will never do that. Shit gon hurt if he snags it on something in your head that’s crazier than Lil Uzi Vert. These niggas stupid.
That shit gonna hurt somebody snatch it. Or if it get caught on sumtn that's shit gone peel his scalp off terrible just thinking bout it
@@sirsmokealot8841 that shit hurt every time I look at it😂
Yeah I heard that too what a fuccin 🤡
11:25 I especially like this moment right here. It's actually chilling to hear how people who done their time actually talk and present themselves. There is this eerie weight to the most ordinary words. They are not proud of having to endure hardships and commiting crimes, most of the time they didn't see or didnt have other choice, it's not some fun pastime that you can "enjoy", so it must feel incredibly disheartening hearing some random fake glorifying your violence and loss that entails it, while having zero idea what's that really like to go through.
The ones who always scared the fk outta me were the old heads who I knew had never been in a prison.
As an old hiphop head, it used to be original lyricism, charisma and style were the only things needed to get that clout.
Now everyone chasing clout instead of respect so everyone snitching they say they down to ride but won’t step up when it’s time to face federal prison time they all rather be pillowtalking with they ladies
@@Azariah.HelpedByYHWH yup
This is cap back in the 90s you either needed to be a gimmick dancer, gangster rapper, or bling rapper there were hundreds of other gimmicks around that time as well the guys who were straight hip hop like gangstar found minimal success, and radio play
@@jamalwalker Exactly
@@jamalwalker those rappers came and went back then.
I guess that’s why I respect rappers who are like ghost on social media. They just post here and there most of the time about music. These “flexing 24/7” rappers are mad annoying. The degeneracy there ooze is crazy to lol
That’s why we love Carti
@@VonDecken97 true true
This is why Carti still the GOAT
$uicideboy$ never post either...
ScHoolboy Q does that too
For any rapper out there, remember there are gonna be people who listen to several of your songs before they even research you or know what you look like. Especially in this streaming age. I don't care about you having the biggest chain or gold chains in your scalp. Just fuckin rap or as the mom said in the video, "show ya craft."
I knew we were headed for trouble when gold chains, diamonds, and gaudy watches were becoming the norm at that point. Capitalism just ruins everything man.
Thank you.
I'm old AF - I know UK drill, but I thought Chicago Drill was a "sound" and I had no idea its just about finding the most obscene and disrespectful way to diss your dead opponents on wax - dissing is a part of rap, I'm from NYC, but obscenely dissing dead people as the AIM and not perfecting your rhymes - is just messed up - that's messed up....
nyc drill not any different than what ur describing
the UK been dissing the dead and sending threats as well
"whom you liKely know from social media rather than any songs of his.." FINISHED
HipHop can be beautiful, but also it can be too far how rappers talking & doing stupid things and wonder why they get critics, go to jail or getting killed.
50 didn't diss Hommo though. The most he did was just drop his name. What these kids do now is just ridiculous.
Honestly, just making great music and being more skilled than everyone will get you into the spaces you need to be. You don't need the gimmicks or even necessarily the popularity. The greats will find you if you're truly skilled. A perfect example of this is KAAN. KAAN just flat out outrapped and outworked everyone. Now KAAN is working with Dr. Dre and Busta Rhymes on a 30 song album, and he work with/hangs out in the same social circles/studios of guys like J Cole, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dog, Freddie Gibbs, The Game etc. Focusing on the aesthetic is cool and all, but, ultimately, the music is what matters. That's what shines through at the end of the day and creates lasting longevity and timeless art. This is why XXXtentacion was so great imo. He not only had a great sense of aesthetics and optics, but he also had the skill and musical quality to match.
💯 KAAN is incredible. The same can be said for JID, too. They're not anywhere as popular as a lot of other artists, but they're highly, highly respected by the greats, because they're once in a generation artists with immense skill. In other words, "Get Good".
X was a big „what if“ imo. To call him a legend is still too far to me but man he was so creative & talented. He was trying to get better but he was taken away. I would Imagine him with Kanye,Kendrick,Baby Keem,Denzel Curry, Cudi or Joey badass (Even they made something together).
Kendrick and Cole are other examples
@@blodiaaa6990 Yeah, I was gonna say Kendrick and Cole, but I wanted a more recent example. KAAN came up during the SoundCloud era, yet still managed to climb up the ranks with a more lyrical style. I'd probably add JID and Benny the Butcher to that list, since they both kind of came out around the same time.
@@bp2000k I'd definitely say X a legend, because he basically influenced an entire generation of rappers and style of music. Even Juice Wrld was influenced by him early on.
still don't believe for anything that that diamond cost 24 million or even worth it. Somebody probably appraised it at an auction and said it could be worth that. he aint pay that.
Rap artists are way too inconsistent now a days. Either the project is way too overhyped, or the project is just straight garbage.
Tbh its both
Facts can’t even add some new music to my playlist smh
@@peterpresinal6237 I know right thats why I stick to old school rap 80s & 90s 2000s music as well Hip Hop today's needs a bright light and reset
@Knot Gulty I feel like theres a need for a bright light all this drill music all rappers doin it im like nobody different they all the same. this is where I step in.
@@UrbanNinja123 try songs from ppl like asap rocky, Tyler the creator, Kendrick Lamar, or Kanye west.
This video should be shown to EVERY aspiring artist. Like mandatory.
Well done 👏🏽👏🏽
1:24 this is disgusting😂😂😂 that man gets one chain caught in something its over
Ikr
Making a rapper should be a TV show, these last year's we been seeing funny character come and go
Its sad what mainstream Hip Hop has become.
Scenes when they catch that boy lackin' and pull those chain off of his head 😭😭😭😂
Lil Uzi had the diamond snatched from his head when he jumped into the crowd at a rolling loud concert.
Lol
i know that mf hurt
Some of these rappers are detached from reality. 🤦🏾♂️
YOU'RE RIGHT, BIG TIME!
@@travisdaniel8707 yeah. They rlly let this fame and status get to their heads
@@demarcusdarius9096 Already.
I can only imagine the pain if something snagged on the gold-ring hair
Bro can't even get a MRI or xray
I would argue that Slim Jesus was extremely authentic. He admitted that he wasn’t about that life the first time that he was asked about it.
Love your channel! I'm a hard rock guy but your content is so awesome I've listened to some of the artists you discuss!
Lots of cash and stupidity are a recipe for disaster.
“I hope nobody copies me” don’t worry dude nobody is ever gonna copy that lmao
Great video HipHop madness. The Lesson learned is Money is the root of all Evil. Money talks but it makes you crazy stuff.
No the love of money is the root of evil, money, currency is just an inanimate object, a tool to be use. No what you are willing to do to get that tool (money) is the root of evil.
that's sad about kid trunks.I hope he's okay now
“Walking around like it’s all butter” 🤣🤣😭
Enlightening sir. I didn't know a lot of things you covered. Salute
Some people really do have too much money I can't even begin to fathom how the idea of putting hooks into your scalp to give yourself gold hair or implanting a diamond on your forehead like your a Steven Universe character would sound appealing to anyone.
I don't care for 50 cent myself but from what I understand he was dissing a man that had previously shot him in what I'm assuming was an attempt to kill him I don't see how dissing someone whose now dead that previously tried to kill you is going too far.
"You know I'm [my name here], what can I say?" Love this argument, using it from now on.
If durk is serious about dissin the dead that’s a whole another thing. But to see Durk seriously try to put that shit in the past shows how much people respect him.
He can’t because he can’t rap.
"They say clout is a hell of a drug, but drug is a hell of a drug" 😂
Major Rick James vibes
“Whom you likely know more from social media than any trending songs of his”
Laid man’s whole CAREER to REST w that one 🥱😴 🤷🏾♂️😭😭🤦🏾♂️🥰
Solid content and the way you do your ads is in a less annoying way than most channels plus native is a good sponsor choice.
some of this needs to be called out as mental illness
What my people don't know about diamonds will have them killing themselves.
I love uzis justification for the diamond is “I’m lil Uzi”
Great job breaking this down best hip hop commentary on the platform 🔥🤞🏾
That's so sad. Natural diamonds aren't worth more than $7. They over price then once they're imported because Americans do materialistic they'll ACTUALLY🤦🏾♀️SPEND that much on them!
Thank you for this interesting video!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Kanye everytime is a "rapper that went too far" moment and that's what makes him a ghost
Let’s go back to the era of gold chains with no ice and leather jackets where your skills on the mic and unique voice and flow mattered more than how many tik tok mfs doin weird dances to your songs and a ridiculous appearance and outfit.
The 1980s are over bro this is 2022 now. Everybody’s doing stupid shit it’s just a culture we live in
I think that the chains of the early 00's were the best, gold/platinum chain and a pendant with diamonds on it. Nowadays jewlery looks hilarious tbh.
@@DjAlonDevil Forreal.
Even back then u had to be connected to get signed or heard. Maybe in like 82 u could go off pure talent but by 88 89 u had to know some one or damn near move to NY and hang around the right spots but outside of NY it was a matter of who ya know
uzi: gets a diamond implant
thanos wants to know your location
Yo I love you videos, I gust wanna say you should add a outro screen cuz I catch myself leaving when I see the endscreen pop up cuz ik theirs only 20 seconds left other then that thanks for keeping my informed on the hood politics🤙
I like the gold hair thooooo. That would go hard in the alternative body modification scene
Lil Uzi Vert turned into Vision
These are perfect examples of just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should do it it’s a hit or miss trend
Why be a good rapper when you could have a gimmick that people forget about by the next tik tok video
I like these videos. Tiktok talks about how we are all controlled but these videos show how chaotic people can be.
Great video! Fantastic perspectives shown as well as in the comments.
That mexican rapper with the gold chain hair and uzi definitely sold their souls
Why you say that? Outside of Uzi anyway. LOL The other guy never made it from what the video stated.
One guy sold his soul to the devil. The other sold his soul to social media and got clowned for it
How is that a definite? They didn't gain anything from it.
No they sold their brains
@@GuavaConQueso That's a great way, to put it.
Clout is the new heroin 💉
Method acting . You hit the nail on the head with that one.
Chain head guy is gonna have mad regrets when he finally has to run that shit.
I feel like duck is being slightly misrepresented, he did have the olive branch of “Chicago legends” shouting out the great including people who had killed people he knew. He was also self aware enough to realise why people wanted to kill him and exactly why “im a very disrespectful person”.
Yeah but right after he did “Chicago Legends” he went and erased all good will by dropping “Dead Bxtches”
@@galedribble9535 That's very true, but I feel like saying that he was just a cloutchasing demon seems to reduce him as a person. I would argue that "Dead Bitches" coming out after people like Von and Durk dissing him for "Chicago Legends" and saying they want him to drill him seems like a natural reaction. It's all moot anyway, Von and Duck are dead, and Durk is gonna catch a rico imo. I would argue that Duck was one of the smartest people from his area, since he has the ability to introspect, and understand his own motivations. On a more possitive note Duck's mum has been with it when it comes to speaking out against the inherent bullshit of street politics, three(?) sons dying to it can't be an easy thing to bear. Sorry if the response was overly long, I just wanted to clarify my point.
Rappers go to far when they rap about a crime/crimes referring to a crime they committed, name dropping for no apparent reason & buying ridiculous things..!! These days rappers are wayyyyy to direct, which cause them to land in horrible situations. It seems like they don't care..!!
They snatched that Uzi diamond when he was crowd surfing! 💀
Uzi’s diamond was ripped out of his head in 2021. I do not have lung cancer, I have what they call a compulsion to lie. And then there’s 69 who was recently hospitalized after getting jumped in his gym’s locker room.
As an outsider to modern rap I am sorry but I can't appreciate/understand the appeal of guys like Travis Scott and Uzi vert and Kodak. I grew up in the oldschool where rhymes and beats mattered. I recently watched a few minutes of Vert at some festival this summer and it was straight trash. The dude was "rapping" to backing tracks the entire time and only rapped when he wasn't jumping around with the ridiculously oversized clothes on. It sucked. But there were legions of loyal fans in the comments saying that it was the best set he's ever done etc. It truly made me realize how out of touch with new rap I am. I just don't get it and can't quantify the total lapse in quality. Meanwhile at the same festival Action Bronson was ripping the mic, flawless clarity on every word and no backing tracks. Just raw beats and raps. That's fucking rap. We need more Griselda and less this bullshit. The artform is dying.
Kodak’s verses were good on the new Kendrick album, very lyrical
@eye lash I listen to Travis and Uzi the most but everybody got they own opinion. I respect that
The chains on the head guy head got to be hurting 😂 daily
I like Uzi. It's just that rappers are weirdos nowadays they just are. Sometimes it seems like these guys do these stunts when they start fading from the spotlight just a tiny little bit
It’s how you know that they are only doing it for the quick buck nobody wants to put in the real work
"Tooka a whole person he ain't no strain of weed" 😂😂😂
Get Rich or Die Tryin dropped in 2003
What a great video!!!
Awesome video i needed a good laugh 👏😘
I used to think this was on the younger rappers to Blame but this is all the aftermath of my fellow Black Men especially the lyricist from the 90s-2000s not signing & respecting each other & attacking one another instead of building on ownership
I love the sound of your voice.
I never heard of Dan Sur til now, but as soon as I found out about his surgical implants, I had to pause the damn video just to process that. 😐🤦♂️
Invest in the art, not the antics. Well said. Who will heed it is the question.
I actually have some respect for Lil Uzi Vert. The pink diamond he purchased cost 24 million dollars which is an astounding amount of money. However, he said he saved his money for 3 years to buy the diamond. I respect that he was shrewd enough to save his money for such a big purchase. It looked stupid as hell in his forehead, but since he had it removed, it is actually an investment for him. If he is cash strapped he can always sell it.
Usually an investment is something that gains value overtime…
@@Haywood-Jablomi What do these kids know... Although I am having trouble to believe that the diamond cost 24 million, when his whole net worth today is 25 million.
It was the mexican dude for me,thieves gon leave his head bloodied
Rappers go to far when they speak about what they did on the automatic snitching machines called IG and the studio
You don't gotta be a gangster or from the hood to rap agressive. Thats something these guys need to get. No ones telling um to be soft they just saying don't rep shit u ain't from. That simple.
When you give ur children all kinds of gifts...but u can't give them fatherhood.
bit personal there
@@Adizero2 That was for our boi,future.
😄
The Diamond in forehead is awesome lol
Takashi didn't lie. These gangstas and th_gs blow all this smoke about demanding respect and authenticity, but constantly help to put these social media fakes on in the rap industry and never hold them accountable. 69--and others--might as well continue to use these street guys to make money and then bounce.
i am probably the only oldhead that finds the goldchain implants quite genius
That diamond made him a target. A very valuable target even skilled criminals started considering.
Rick Ross is working his butt off , and wears the tight pink better than any of them 🤣
The juxtaposition of rappers throwing money away to U.S. homelessness/national debt is absolutely crazy.
THIS IS FOR REAL.
FOREIGN OBJECT ON
BODY.
WHO CAN'T HEAR WILL
FEEL.
THEN LEARN.
IRS will be bringing da pry bar to get that stone out Uzi's forehead. 😂
Lil Uzi was constantly talking about not getting paid enough around this time period too. Smh
He said they say clout is a hell of a drug but drug is a hell of a drug lol
A rappin lampshade... now I seen everything
The "1985" effect is painfully real.
Just being a rapper is taken it too far. It’s the deadliest job out there. Even they momma just in the trash talking.
Lil uzi vert is a fan of Hawkmoon... Most people won't get this joke.
Yoooo I hope Dan Sur can afford security for the rest of his life cause he will forever be a walking lick. Lil Uzi honestly made an investment. Soo yeah the forehead thing was dumb but its still a 24 million dollar diamond. Not surgically implanted gold chains . Smh
Bro that dude with all that gold better not get into no fights or get robbed cause that shit is gonna feel like Satan himself is torturing you
"I got my phone at the wrong time"
I mean it takes a lot to stand up cos a lotta guys would just keep lying. But there is a cost to all of this. At least his payback wasn't too crazy.
imagine you tryna hit a lick and you run top speed grab that mexican gold rapper hair and yank with 100% of your strngth and snatch his gold hair out his head lmao or same with uzi diamond just run up and yoink the think like thanos did vision im sorry id die laughing
Damn
Why did Dr dre tell em to tune it down
Slim was about to come back
That diamond is worth half now 😂
10:31 how tf do you fit 80G in your POCKETS lol
He probably go around with his purse 👛 🤣 😂
Having gold implanted in your head is crazy lol
Rap game got the biggest clowns
