Top 5 Fraud A@@ Rappers: The FUGAZI List
1. RAWSE - u stated in XXL magazine 'I spend 10 million a year and I dont make that much off rap so you do the math' not long after ur first album and since then i knew u was FUGAAZ. If you was hustlin everyday, im sure telling XXL mag would constitute self-snitching. and the punishment for that in the streets is whacking yourself. You said you knew the real Noriega. and he owe you a 100 favors. Thats a whole lot of favors. For anybody. so when it came up that you were a C.O. i wasnt even shocked. A CO is just a job...unless you spend all of your time trying to convince the public your're a coke kingpin with every effort you make. Lets just agree that its all entertainment, fat boy, and stop trying to play us like we're stupid
2. Ice Cube - Now im not saying 'thugs' don't ever go to school, but on an out of state scholarship? For ARCHITECTURE??? The only architecture niggas in the hood do is when we stackin them bricks son!! Now, Cube went on to become much more than just a gangsta rapper, but lets face it: having the world's greatest Angry Black Man face got him by for way too long. And as for Dr. Dre, he's came out (no pun intended) numerous times and admitted he's not a thug, so he gets a pass.
3. Plies - Validictorian of his High School. Academic scholarship. Speaks coherently and with insight in interviews. and then spits lyrics like 'i done beat her hunnah!!' (5 years later and i still dont know WTF a hunnah is) and appears to not be familiar with the word 'pliers'. FUGAZI! i dont want to get deep here, but it really makes me sad for our people that somebody whos obviously very intelligent feels like they have to dumb themselves down to that extreme to be a rapper. And also feels they have to be ashamed to have graduated at the top of their high school class and attend college (when they ask him about it in interviews, he dodges the question completely). I usually just accept it as entertainment but in Plies case i find it so insulting i cant even consider listening to his music (he's wack anyway but thats beside the point)
4. Prodigy - Where do I begin? One of my favorite rappers from the 90s, but my, how the mighty have fallen. We are all familiar with your "slightness" ( as joe budden said 'u cant lift the guns u talk about' LOL!), wearing multiple ass whoopings from keith murray, saigon, etc. getting laid down in ur own studio, even meeting ur partner Havoc only b/c he was gonna rob your punk ass but backed out possibly because he just felt sorry for you. We already know these stories. The biggest one to me was not the Summer Jam screen itself (we were all kids once), but your whole reaction to it. I mean you spent the ENTIRE next album (Infamy) passive-aggressively dissing Jay-Z back. mighty hoe-ish of you. add to that jay z never even felt obliged to address you again. And the worst part in my opinion, is that for the rest of your career, u completely abandoned any kind of rhyme schemes and resorted to tough talking your way through several albums (and abandoning ur barber also). It would seem that your thugged out self image was so fragile that Jay Z's Twinkletoes diss shattered it beyond repair. FUGAAZ!
5. Tupac - Yeah i said it. Sensitive poet and social activist turned Thug Jesus. This aint even all his fault so much as his fans who act like he died for all 'Real Niggas' sins. but i'd be remiss not to mention how it seemed like you were a puppet on a string during those last days at Death Row, just following along with the reputation, on a high from being around a dangerous environment. Pac was hood, pac was ghetto, pac was 100% Black, but his post-mortem superthug image is undeserved**
At the end of the day tho, I can't get mad at any Black man feeding his kids and helping his family out of The Struggle. So ima Let Them Boys Cook
**In Tupac's defense, he did shoot two cops. and thats about as gangsta as one gets.
