    Then he would’ve called it a job, not “flipping burgers” which is a denigrating term used to conjure up the image of easy, unskilled, dumb labor 100% of the time it’s used

    This what I’m saying like niggas are performing mental gymnastics to act like he’s not denigrating his job. Bro used language that even people in poverty use to s*** on other working class people

    What’s really irritating me about the ppl defending it is that I know they would be talking mad s*** if a rapper like Lil Baby or Young Thug said the same s*** word for word

    It’s only a denigrating term to people that see it as denigrating and not just a job like any others.

    Because vince albums consistently sell a million

    and if he did sell a million then he wouldn’t have said this.

    I get what his point is but this also seems insulting to fans like if this s*** is just a job to you why should I even listen. Feels like I’m getting finessed just by listening if this is how you feel about it.

    So are you gonna stop participating in society because most things you participate in is someone’s job

    Y'all could have just took this as him being humble comparing himself to the average working man but no

    I can already see the podcasts and goofy niggas making videos on this nothing ass topic now lol

    !!!!!!!!!!!

    The McDonald’s and “favorite song” part is what takes it from simple acknowledgment that music is literally his job into devaluing territory

    If it came out my own mouth I’d be saying I’m devaluing rap. I don’t see how his wording isn’t devaluing but he got it I guess

    Only if you personally saw the fast food worker at Mcdonalds as devaluing and not just #AsAJob

    kinda he does compare himself and put himself on the same level as a "working man" at end of the same question that can lead against this reading of the take

  • BRAVE

    This his prerogative. I disagree with the mindset and think it’s wack as f***, but hey more power to him

    As for the ktt niggas, anyone in here tryna shoot him bail for this better not try to say anything in a thread related to rap being devalued. I will remember and I will bring up this thread

    #REAL

  • My job is incredibly important to the livelihood of families and it’s still just a job to me

    Billionaires tend to not get much respect because they usually got there via exploitation and unjust business tactics that effect the lesser man and utilizes unfair labor. It’s why we call them #lazymotherfuckers

    Vince regularly has to fight asthma attacks, for a rapper like him, if that dont strike you as something you gotta actively work at, then we just disagree.
