Hey...You know when rappers come out of the "hood", make it big, then return back to the hood? Well, I can understand giving back to your community and fixing things up. But, just like this latest incident with Proof, why do they feel like they have to "hang out" there in the same areas when they were broke? Aiyo, I'm sorry, if I made it Big, you would NOT see me "hanging out" in the same broke ass areas I was when I didn't have money. I'd move my family the fuck out of there, and get the hell out of dodge. Now, I'd donate money to those areas, maybe even support the local boys and girls' clubs. But, as far as me "chillin" on the corner once I've achieved a level of success is a big HELL NAW. These rappers who go back to the hood to chill feel like they're being "real". I don't see it that way. They're being real stupid to act like they're "just one of the fellas" when the chains around their necks cost more than most of the cars in that hood. STAY OUT THE FUGGIN HOOD PEOPLE! I'd definitely give back. But, I'm sorry, I would not surround myself with negative people and influences like that once I've "made it".


Does that make me a traitor?

iono...They can say what they want. You don't see Bill Clinton "chillin in the local bar" back in red-neck Arkansas where he grew up. But, has Bill given back to his community? I believe so, many times over.

Once you achieve that level of success, you are no longer "one of the fellas."

ehh ehh

Holla bac
