Difference between all this “lil” rapper and people like jim Jones is ,people still talking and interviewing him after 15 years in the business ... most of this lill what ever they gonna be forgotten in less than 2 years ... they should be investing they re money smartly more than jewelry and clothes and car ... def enjoy life you made it young but be smart damn it!!!

[@eljefesinnaman2603]

Because everyone is making their own rules when it comes to hip hop and such, is it harder to become a legend... And every other competitive sport athletes become better I'm not sure the same could be said who rap and hip hop... It's golden age skilled timeless legendary hip-hop over and done with?
