Regarding the ones who dont fake their image

Lil Baby
Kendrick
Dababy
J. Cole

Etc. Do they still lie in their raps?

Some lie, some tell the truth, and others tell the truth somewhat but then exaggerate it.

they’re all mixtures of real life experiences, creative storytelling, and entertainment everyone just have different amounts of each

Lost 92 bricks had to fall back

Someone's gonna pop in say "Kendrick was lying about smoking on top 5's" and dip and this thread will go to 50 pages

Kendrick was lying about smoking on top 5's

/thread.

Every rapper got like 10 bodies minimum if they aint lying.

lots of rappers who make albums or songs with concepts will just make something up for the sake of storytelling or take from someone else's experience and there's nothing wrong with that

this

They don’t “lie” in a traditional sense

The experiences are probably real to varying degrees. Whether it happened to them, their homeboys, whether it’s an experience that actually did happen but did so over a decade ago, etc

How much of you guys think Pusha T's experience is authentic? I am genuinely curious of your guys opinion

Yes

Yea look what happened to young thug

I actually don’t get the pusha T thing at all

He’s very clearly lying / or so far removed from that life that I can’t help but I kind of roll my eyes when listening to the music and yet he gets praised as this rap god.

exaggerate for entertainment purpose

Truth hurts as a rule

First reply, best reply

I'd like to believe its the latter because I do like his music but the way he talks about it, he makes it seem like he was the Tony Montana of his day which seems a bit farfetched

I have family members from VA that grew up around the thornton brothers and from the sound of it push is lying or seriously stretching the truth at least. I think it’s an open secret that he don’t really do that s*** tho

Most of Push/Clipse stories came from their manager lmao they from the burbs

Its still entertaining though

“Don’t believe everything your earlobe captures
It's mostly backwards
Unless it happens to be as accurate as me
And everything said in song you happen to see
Then actually believe half of what you see
None of what you hear even if it's spat by me
And with that said I will kill niggas dead”

Exaggerated truth

I can’t believe Kendrick f***ed a white girl

f***ed*
