Best post itt.

A troubling number of folks on this forum dont understand but it takes a lot of internal bankruptcy of the soul to amass that amount of wealth. Or even to get close to it.

To value an inanimate object such as green paper so much (money’s always been illusion) it’s gotta be some instinctive knack for utilizing people as cogs in an assembly line factory called “success.”

You dont get that money by being a good person.

And while I dont think he did this strictly off the fact that bro was already on probation during this time, I don’t see him moving like this while pretty much on watch, I definitely feel bro has done some shiesty s***.

Itt: a whole lotta

Imagine calling grown men who don’t even know you exist for heroes

It’s not a rap issue, but a world issue. As rap/and really as art is merely a reflection of the world at large.

SA and bodily exploitation is a problem in the art world too.

People dont want to admit the world/society at large just have a jarring issue when it comes to valuing our fellow human beings as more than just mere objects to exploit sexually, physically, and mentally for our own benefit add in capitalism that teaches us ppl are disposable, then you got a beast of a system

yeah you're so smart bro, its just me

We are definitely living in a post-truth world

The information age quickly devolved into the disinformation age because of smartphones (they made us the opposite of smart)

Our "'heros" can wipe their tears with their millions of dollar bills

Also we can factor in some of our faves jumped off the porch defending black icons, Kendrick "you say he touched them kids" and Kanye "Cosby innocent"

All I will say is sometime around Kanye saying he loved Hitler, I realized I idolize not a god damn soul and my mind has been a lot more rational since realizing that truth

all your heros diddled kids (jk)

My GOAT is chilling playing his lil flute, unbothered

can't relate

I do think money and power can increase your opportunity to do f***ery and get away with it

But equally, a lot of people in general get up to some sheisty s***. Its a lot of regular folk getting away with sexual assault and borderline illegal degenerate behaviour, especially young men.

We can talk all day bout Hollywood and powerful creeps but sometimes it feels a distraction (especially when its from right wing folk) that ignores the fact women and kids are getting raped and assaulted and beaten every day by regular ass people. Their partners, their neighbours, family friend, someone they met at the club etc. I don't think its healthy to think of it as a rich person thing when s*** is so common right through society.

your heroes are just regular people that should be treated and judged as any other person with no special treatment

grow up

glad i had a family and people around me that not only told but also showed that every job profession or famous nigga started out as and is just a regular nigga - and they also bleed, go to sleep and take a s*** just like you or me

"Outside of the underage s***" is crazy

"like there's no reason to believe that jay case." lol

this.

Maybe stop putting so much importance on entertainment and living through entertainers and you’ll realize they’re just people.

"Eat the rich"

So real

on one hand anyone is capable of anything and what he’s accused of should be punishable by death

But before me too or weinstein or any of that people have always had this weird thing with jay and the illuminati the roc diamond hand sign etc lol

Post diddy weinstein etc that got ramped up to “jay z time is coming” for seemingly no other reason than he rich and has been rich and around certain circles for 30 years…which you can apply to anyone who has been rich since the 90’s. Niggas aint trying to link Spike Lee to the freakoffs lmaoo

off of simple logistics of paparazzi photos and what parties were thrown where vs what the case says took place, this is a bs case but the headline of jay z and redacted is enough validation for the above two paragraphs

Wild times. Its also a symptom of celebrity as a whole crashing lol

The things that have displayed this in his character have been more financial/business/street situations though

is it not kind of a stretch in logic to take s*** like him shooting his brother and selling d**** and use that to make him a s***criminal? Murder/violence/drug dealing aint nobel peace prize deserving behavior lol but there’s a huge line between that and sexually taking advantage of someone lesser

But of course at the same time we dont know these niggas lol

oh 100%. I'm not saying he's guilty of this. I don't know much/enough about it.

I'm just saying why people are quick to get their kicks in. they've been waiting for something like this.

“From Tiger Woods,
To Shawn Carter”

lol man these ops are patehtic
