That's a terrible existence for someone who doesn't have much skill but a lot of dedication to being a successful rapper who only has a 2 to 3 year career, because truth be told most rappers who do reach that level.
I can see if he says stay in school and yadda yadda yadda, but the kids are going to be thinking about how he made it than doing what he is telling them NOT TO DO.
as long as the rapper "confortable" why should it matter if they mainstream or not... If they doin what they love?
Aint dat what's "wrong" wit hip hop? ? "selling out?" -

Some of y'all in here equating music/street smart intelligence with every day book smart intelligence. Just because gucci made money in the music industry doesn't mean he's smart. 99.9% of the kids in that school won't make money the way gucci does. Fact is more minority doctors/lawyers/etc. should show up to these career days. I don't care if it's gucci or nas, minority kids should know that it's a lot more realistic for them to be dr. so and so than a rapper, athlete etc.

Yesid let gucci teach my children for 20 minutes
? it, why not -

gucci isnt dumb. he hood but not dumb. He went to college... I feel u on the rest but at the end of the day Gucci is a success story who can provide kids with insight as well as warn them of the mistakes he made "murder and going to jail" -

I'm not saying he was, I'm not even saying he wasn't giving good advice. Thats why I said I don't care whether it's gucci or nas. I was just getting at the fact that I would rather kids not put all their hopes into making it as a rapper/athlete and even though it's not his fault seeing ? like Gucci at ? like career day just feeds into that... -

Nopolls like these separate the ? from us real blacks. And hell no I wouldn't let that crusty ? near my children.

If it's wisdom then absolutely.
But you can also learn a lot from a fool. -

The main thing is, if you aren't bringing in any money and cannot make a living off it, than you need to do something else. Plain and simple. I know cats with kids telling their girls they are going to make it and their kids are starving. Do it as a hobby and handle your business. -

In order to broaden their perspective on what is "cool" you can bring a professional with a charming or engaging personality to speak to the children.
Only kids with zero guidance who are mired in niggerdom (probably as a result of ? parenting) would tune out a speaker who is non-famous or not an entertainer from the beginning. If the speaker can capture the audience the audience will be receptive.

Speak for yourself. Believe it or not, not all of "us" come up with the same sensibilities. We don't all dismiss someone as lame or uncool without listening first and figuring out what we can gain from listening.DROSODAMFUNNY wrote: »mostvigorousone wrote: »DROSODAMFUNNY wrote: »SAD 2 SAY, BUT KIDS LOOK UP 2 WHO IS CONSIDERED COOL...
