Among the greatest rappers alive.

Rule number one for success: Do not look up to nor take as role models nor emulate degenerate rappers. For anyone wanting success (not just financial) it's imperative that they distance themselves from hip-hop culture completely.

Sxb check the video out before you curse out 50cent.

I did. He gives good tips. But I still stand by what I said above. One of the main reasons Somalis are messing up so badly in the West, especially in Canada, is because our youth have totally bought into the degenerate hip-hop culture. One can get the same tips from other people who don't represent such a destructive way of living.

The blame should not be on hip hop culture.

It's messing up all African diasporas.

Exactly. And this is why our youth identifying as black is a major problem, because in the west hip-hop culture is black culture. When Somalis and other African kids listen to rap they internalize the messages and it shows in their actions, their dress, their attitudes, their values. When cadaans, indhoyar, indians and others listen to it they just view it as some mindless entertainment.

I explained to my younger cousins one time watching a rap video and I gave them a break down of tax claims on a video.

The women are paid actors that can be expensed
Jewelry is sometimes rented and 100% expensed

When a rapper goes to a club, they get paid to enter the venue and thier bottles are free; and if they pay for bottle service, their label company can expense the bill.

Cars are mostly rented or leased. How can a rapper from New York make a video in London with Lambos around them? You don’t fly out your car to make a video.

I told them everything they see in videos is lie to increase material consumption of youth.

No rapper makes a video about saving money. They make videos about blowing money.

no thanks.

I love how mostly everyone in this thread just generalizes Hip Hop, as if there's nothing meaningful to be found in it. There's even a whole sub-genre called "conscious hip-hop" for pete's sake.

Open your mind. Expand your tastes. Give it a shot.

Xoog book must read

Don't ever look up to people like 50 cent. He was a drug dealer before he got into hip hop and his music are about drugs, es, and getting in trouble with the law. Hip Hop culture is definitely what destroyed AAs and any group of people who associate themselves with.
You should listen for advice to people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, a FOB who climbed to the top of the social ladder.

Remember rule 3. Never be ashamed of your past. 50 cent was the shit back in the day when I was growing up. I have had similar struggles and I would one day like to be wealthier than him.

Not all is bad but 90 percent of the mainstream crap is just nonsense lyrics promoting drugs, materialism and hypersexual behavior, this goes for pop music as well

It doesn't necessarily have to be the mainstream/radio stuff, people can look elsewhere too. Thanks to the internet, it's much much easier to access now as well (lots of treasures waiting to be found, just a click away).
