[@meka2024meka]

The REAL DEAL!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrTmac2023]

vicks been a legend to me since i heard "36 oz later" mixtape. back when livemixtapes actually pushed new /upcoming artists that put out GOOD music.

[@OhioraisedTexasmade]

Vicks really live what he raps unlike yall other favorite rappers this n199@ vicks was really a plug in b.r. at a young age i remember seeing vicks whipping a bmw 750li in 2007 with a big breitling bust down on his wrist dude was really getting money from the streets i still remember when him and fee lost 300k during a traffic stop that one of they runners was coming back with and vicks and fee refused to claim it all they had to do was claim it but they was so smart they didn't because if they went to claim it they would have been locked up. Something went down between vicks and bbg because bbg was going to sign with cash money rich gang well vicks was in jail but when vicks came home he was the only one that didn't want to sign with baby so that offended other label mates on bbg like rambo and squirm because rambo was dissing vicks a lot and squirm had started to just distance himself from vicks when they was super close. I don't know if him and squirm still cool because i see squirm doing his own thing and he had got his blue check on ig back in 2018 while the other bbg artists didn't. Rambo ended up getting kill3d a few years back by some teenagers who was trying to rob him but the streets was saying vicks sent that hit but that was just rumors because even though vicks didn't want to sign with baby, rambo still hung around baby and hot beezo and claimed rich gang while dissing vicks heavy then baby checked vicks over using the CMR logo because baby felt vicks was stealing the moniker from him but vicks was actually paying homage using it vicks called his CMR cash money reincarnated and that made baby feel some type of way so vicks got the idea from a fan to call it cars, money and rolexs. Vicks should have been got a major deal but it just goes to show you how he was really getting paid from the streets and didn't care about signing a deal he said it himself he was turning down labels because he was getting so much money from the streets.
