It's really interesting that the ones who grew up poor are the ones i like much more, basically 100% of the time. Maybe it's that the poor rappers HAD TO make it for a better life, while those who had it good growing up didn't have that pressure. Still, it's crazy how there are almost no exceptions in my opinion.
You still have pressure, because you still have to make a living at something. Especially for the middle class ones who aren't inheriting much & need retirement funds for when they're old. Even if you grow up being told you're an heir all the money can be gone by the time you inherit, so it's best to make your own.
@ihavespoken9871 I haven't really listened to much of Kanye, he doesn't seem to be for my taste much. But i've got the general impression that his earlier albums were very groundbreaking and influential.
The “normal” people will never understand the true struggle. They’ll always view us as inferior to them but in all reality they would die in anyother situation
To be fair, they don't have to like him just because he had a hard life, especially if they don't enjoy his music. Personally, I think his music is trash and that's about as far as I think about him 🤷♂️
Shout out x, for being the goat still top 10 of the most streamed artists of all time Edit: x didn't start rapping at the age of 17, he started at 12 years old then grew bigger at the age 16😭🙏🏾
hope you remember me bro been here since the PBC iceberg and I’m proud to see how far you’ve grown, just graduated marine corps bootcamp last week and glad to come back to another vid ❤
I always count my blessings that I grew up with a mom with two jobs, but we worked our way up as a family to being upper middle class, the harder days humbled me, makes me appreciate what I have.
Yeah but usually hip hop revolves around struggles and the come up. So many rich artists who didn’t struggle much with anything will just lie or pretend
Why is no one checkin Lil Mabu? Hes been spoonfed his whole life and he comes out of nowhere benefiting on the harsh reality of young minorities killing each other in hood and even mocks it in his music videos by going into the hood while wearing stupid private school outfits… idk how people don’t see this and aren’t constantly confronting this bs.
Drake has had a middle class life so far. He wasn't downright in the ghetto or the hood but at the same time it was normal for him. I used to glorify the hood but after moving to safer more affluent environment's i don't even blame Drake's mom for moving shit, many parents would make that choice if they could plus his hard work in music paid off
No actually he grew up in old forest hill in Toronto which is a very wealthy area with 3 plus million dollar houses (I worked on condos there). He was very much well off with a well connected mother that got him into acting.
obviously no one is blaming his mom for doing what anyone would. Drake is lying piece of work, man seriously is a culture vulture. His mom moved him out of the hood into a gated rich community just for him to lie about his come up, rap about "being hood and gangsta" Drake is weird. Imagine running from the hood life just to end up glorifying it in his persona. It's tacky and tasteless, big disrespect to people who genuinely grew up in intercities.
@@silververnallbells191 Trumpublicans are the most ignorant and hypocritical Republicans I have ever seen. I feel bad for normal Republicans because these people have plagued the party.
lol, and this vid didn’t even tried to make Drake’s situation sound not so privileged in his early years. The reality: Weston Road was not a lower income area back in the 90s when Drake lived there. It was a mix of working class and middle income households. As more immigrants started to move in middle income households started to migrate out to other areas e.g. like Forrest Hill. Today Weston Road is indeed a lower income area with a high population of immigrants and Aubrey now uses it as his cultural cachet to strengthen his Drake image.
Bro sandy dad and brother were millionaires. She just wanted to date a black dude and take care of herself. His uncle funded his music career. Drake was never poor
Drake lived on Weston Road in his childhood, went to Weston Junior Public School. You won't find rich people living in that part of Toronto, I guarantee you that. Drake's come up was his own acting money, money that allowed him and his mom to move to Forest Hills.
@@princebond False! Weston Road was not a lower income area back in the 90s when Drake lived there. It was a mix of working class and middle income households.

Rapping is about creating and expressing your own style it's part of hip hop culture and it's evolved it doesn't matter where you come from just find people who like your style.
Yes, key words “creating and expressing your own style”. As long as you’re not cosplaying another style while devoid of the experiences there’s no problem. Art is about expressing you, your feelings, telling your stories. As long as everyone understands that, and is creating art that is authentic to who they are, all is good!
