What's with rappers showing bling bling in their videos?
 

Every bloody other video I see some rapper showing off Blentley and Hummer automobiles, fur coats, diamonds and luxurious homes. What's up with that?

it's called being a PIMP. they didn't have the cash didn't have the cars didn't have the houses now they get all that at one time of course they want to flaunt it lol wouldn't you... http://www.lostbrain.com/graphics/bush-pimp.jpg

because they dizzle da fizzle shizzle...

No, I'm Canadian. we don't like to flaunt our wealth no matter how successful we've become.:)

ever met maskedman?

It's all rented

yep, so true

all my ice is real..didnt u see me stuntin in phx?

true dat... too bad we never hooked up

i spotted you only once that i know of... i shoulda made a better effort... dammit

theres always next convention..sugar's on me :)

Definitly. If any of you have seen punked, Lil Bow Wow was shooting a magazine cover and a jewelry woman came in and loaned the "ice" for the pics. If anyhahahaha is gullible enough to think these rappers are that rick after selling 500,000 copies, you need your heads checked. 99% of these clowns will make less than the bottom 50% in this business.

No. But I know of a few Canadians trying to pass as Americans tho.:1orglaugh

done... and Sheri really wanted you to help her with pimping her Escalade

it's so cute, she started looking at 22" rims on the web last nite

hahaha thats great

canadian pimp


thats a canadian pimp :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hahaha thanks for the publicity.

In an interview, I heard 50cents say that he bought a $12 million house. Even during interviews, these rappers like to show off. :)

That's what rap videos are about and always will be.

i called her thursday when I got in, I have a nice connection in Phx for rims..give me an email address and I will let you know the place

Canada is the gay little brother of America, Well behaved and boring

I'm sorry you feel this way about your northern neighbour.

He's just turned 18 after disapearing because he was underage... Just ignore him.

I was told that for whatever reason african american men don't feel unique.

So in the rap videos they have to flaunt it?

No. Many mens, really have it. There are people rich up to impropriety :) from $300M.

BLING BLING MOTHERFUCKER!! It's All About The Benjies or the old guy on our 100$ bills!! (Flashing your money)

he's got it exactly right. these mafucka's grew up in the project's man the slums, dirt!! their expectations on life obviously weren't very good. now they're living a dream, can buy anything they want instead of worrying where dinner's coming from. diamonds and furcoats show u made it? to them yes and i say all the power to them, they deserve it. :thumbsup

yo Zane, what up bro?

Rap is just bragging to a beat, so why wouldn't they flaunt their success?

dammit, we musta been "busy" LOL

hook her up bro! she wants to drop $10k on pimping her Escalade

damn it's the man!! whats crackin' easton?

Right now it is but that doesn't mean always. They have changed alot over the years.

same old, same old... :)

Even the Pope has gone Pimp.

:thumbsup :1orglaugh

Have they! I got this "black music" video station and every other videos I see people like P. Diddy, J-zay, 50Cents, etc. counting their money, driving big cars with shinning mags (or whatever it's called these days)... and I'm getting sick of watching these videos.

Rockers are as rich as rappers yet you don't see them flaunting their riches in their videos!

i like when they used to do the cribs show and there was like 15 cousins, grandma, and 40 other people living in his home too
