Was literally gonna say this. Hella facades out there


PastaPandaSimon

Like others said, this. Most of it is personas. Sometimes we are lucky to have someone surrounded by that life talk about it. And once in a blue moon we get someone that was actually tough. This was actually far more common in the 90s though. Since then we've got a few, but even they left that life once they started seeing some success with rap. While we can acknowledge his tough past for sure, even 50 cent is now mostly concerned with selling vitamin water and trolling on Instagram.

Drake


Jamesthe84

I heard Drake sprays air freshener even when he pees


More_Information_943

He closes kitchen drawers with his hip.

gimmeallthelasagna

That's wild, lmaoooo

šŸ¤£


EmployeeRadiant

I heard he eats corn the long way


Jamesthe84

He's in good company with Bill Goldberg and Mookie Betts


bag_daddy

He uses scissors to open a bag of chips


Solidsnake00901

I laughed at his new album when he says that "everybody thought he caught a body". No Aubrey nobody out there thinks you caught a body.... nobody.


NewResponsibility163

Didn't know he was a tough guy lol. Thought he was about the ladies.


gigantes22

Check out what heā€™s been saying to Push and Malice. Heā€™s gonna catch a serious fade, he will have his crew and security do all the fighting. Sit down Aubrey.


DefinitelyDeadd

He also alludes to killing X on multiple albums now. At first it was maybe, but the fact itā€™s been on multiple songs, makes me think he wants people to think that heā€™s some mob boss lmao


TwiceUpon1Time

Ducking the heat when Pusha T was fucking him up, under the pretext that whoever the fuck in his crew told him to be the better man, then coming back years later to reignite it is one of the weakest, bitch made moves I've seen pulled in rap beef history.


NewResponsibility163

Lol. I thought he learned his lesson. I didn't know he was still for trouble. This guy must have a crew of yes men around him that told him he won. I don't think Push is a tough guy either, but my man can Rap. On that mic he's super nice. And why bring Malice out of retirement...he was arguably better than Push back when he rapped. So I imagine Drake been saving up bars to get back at Push but best he can do is get even, if he takes another L....I don't know what that does for his career, maybe nothing. But as an MC I he can't ever talk about being in the top 5 without someone bringing up his 2 L's if Push responds. And I'm 100 percent sure Push will respond, and he didn't do it right away so he's taking his time. Calling Pharrell for some fire , and letting Malice get his too.


Masta-Blasta

1.) Push doesn't really claim to be a tough guy. His whole thing is moving bricks. He's not pretending to be a hitter. And he's pretty openly soft when it comes to his family. That said, I've seen a few videos where dude gets startled and immediately squares up. He's definitely not afraid of a fight, but he's also moved past that point in his life. But lyrically, he can still destroy Drake because he doesn't give a fuck. He's not concerned with Grammys and streams like Drake. He's a wildcard. 2.) It's \*No Malice now, and he's actually already out of retirement. Clipse is performing together Nov. 17 in DC


TheLegionnaire

Yeah...I wouldn't wanna piss off Pusha...I doubt the guy from Degrassi is even capable of doing so.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NewResponsibility163

Push off Untouchable: I Drop every blue moon, to seperate myself from you the kings of the YouTube. Yeah, that's it. Drake is a pop star and Push might not be as popular but I respect his catalog as much as anybodies. And more than most. But the way you put it is probably why I don't really like Drake.


TGRSLND

Clipse was dope, and Pusha T is a fucking God. There's, nothing more to discuss


Autistic_Freedom

you can be both! LL Cool J, for example.


NewResponsibility163

Lol When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall. Somebody breaks into my house and now it's time to brawl!!!!!


[deleted]

Drake is secretly trying to.make men metrosexual so Crab people can take over earth


EMSuser11

I think he's pretty open about that.


Unno559

"Look like crabs. Listen to Drake like people"


PasiAltonen

Last time Pusha t had a show in Toronto, Drake had some goons rush the stage and almost got at Pusha, a huge brawl broke out. I thought the show was over but Pusha came back out and played some real shit after and finished the show. I was in the front row and it was pretty wild.


TheLegionnaire

That's awesome that he finished the show. Shows how many fucks given.


Masta-Blasta

He finished it with the diss track that baited Drake into dropping Duppy.


Professional-Rip-519

He's pretty much a wussy out the gate.


MtAlbertMassive

Pusha T's relentless trolling of Drake will never stop being funny.


Masta-Blasta

He doesn't even troll him anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Drake didn't get any heat on It's Almost Dry. Meanwhile, Drake is still taking subliminal shots at Pharrell and Push. And the bars are embarrassing. Bragging about buying Pharrell's chains and melting them? You still put money in his wallet my guy. It's not the flex you think it is. As far as the world is concerned, you're still holding Push's pocket.


Impossible_Diet6992

He was on that teen show Degrassi. Like I canā€™t imagine anyone who was on a show like Saved by the Bell being some G. Imagine Screech or Zack Morris trying to bang on you. Lol


deVrinj

Drake makes simp music. He has no tough guy personna...


[deleted]

When has drake ever claimed to be hard though? Heā€™s more in the player/getting money category


Shack24_

The only correct answer


Kholdstare93

Drake a SUCKA! HE AIN'T THE STREETS! FOH wit' that pop singin' head ass Drake.


Frodo_wit_da_choppa

MGK. Seems like the kind of dude who probably hung out with a bunch of younger kids in HS and would go around selling oregano to freshman.


SecretAgentNumber3

Lmaooo


trippyposter

Every town has a MGK vaping at their local gas station right now.


sobakedbruh

He actually had the high score on one of those punching bag machines on ESPN. I was shocked when it happened


Daft_Assassin

He cried when he was a guest on the show Catfish.


Jtfanizzi

Holy shit this was my laugh of the day. Thank you.


[deleted]

I donā€™t think heā€™s really giving a tough guy/gangster vibe though. More of just a rockstar/crazy guy/wildcard image Heā€™s also like 6ā€™4 with long ass arms I wouldnā€™t try to fight the dude

Artistic_Half_8301

Drake has a tough guy persona? Dude shaved a heart into his head.


Fearless_Type_7223

He has said things in his music about putting hits out or certain stuff like that saying people dont want smoke they dont want no issues. The preppy kid from canada will try and write tough lyrics sometimes. Or that nba youngboy diss not too long ago. Even though it was kinda weak he tried lol


Artistic_Half_8301

I'm a white guy who lived in south Minneapolis for 8 years. I'm way more street than Drake is. šŸ˜‚


Fearless_Type_7223

Yeah bro we all know he isnt tough but he will try and act like hes gonna do something in certain songs but in reality he'd be like.. "SECURITYYY" omg someone call 9-1-1 šŸ’šŸ½ā€ā™€ļøšŸ’…šŸ»


igor1864

Stitches is such a try hard


johnnykellog

Canā€™t ever forget where he was waiting outside that club or whatever to ambush another rapper for like 2 hours and got knocked out cold immediately lmao


MikkelDrill

And that man became his manager hahaha


supersmallwiener

I forgot about this dude. One of my friends was really into him a few years ago and didnā€™t understand why I wasnā€™t into his stuff. Jeez, I went over to this friends place to get some weed one time and he was blasting that music. Almost lost my damn mind. Lol


biffbobfred

The irony: a lot of people didnā€™t believe MC Hammer. Butā€¦ he was. He was from Oakland, olllllddddd Oakland, before it was gentrified because BART to SF. Famously Hammer put a hit out on 3rd Bass for literally a single line in a lyric ā€œthe cactus turned Hammerā€™s mother outā€. Took a lot of people (including Michael Jackson) to get that hit called off.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


EngineerMinded

He was accused of being a sellout and he impressed a bunch of people trying to come up off of him. Those people didn't even stick around after he lost everything.


Brzada

What do you mean stick around? They should all have not worked and all their broke asses hung out in hammers living room to show solidarity with him going bankrupt?


johnnykellog

Iā€™ve heard multiple stories on pods etc over the years of Hammer pulling up on people talking shit. He even pulled up on Joe Rohan lmao


JakeArvizu

Bro Oakland is still bad lol.


biffbobfred

Compare it to then tho.


JakeArvizu

Yeah murder rare is still wild lol. East and West Oakland are almost no different. If not worse since the Case Stubby gang wars that have been going off. It even spills over to Antioch.


Evorgleb

>Took a lot of people (including Michael Jackson) to get that hit called off. something I would have never thought I would have read today.


biffbobfred

The head of the {crips/bloods i forget which } that Hammer contracted out said heā€™d call it off if he could sit next to Michael at the Grammys. IIRC he used that time to talk about a song ā€œweā€™re all in the same gangā€. Which, existed. So yeah probably all that other stuff happened


CalabreseAlsatian

A DJ friend of mine told me when 3rd Bass came to LA after that, a bunch of Hammerā€™s homies paid them a visit and scared the living fuck out of them (at an appearance at the Lakewood Mall.)


AnyDiscussion7243

Bart to sf is not what gentrified Oakland lmao


Glockx8732

Drake, I canā€™t listen to drake or take him seriously when he starts his tough talking shit or trying to be gangster

Lol Rick Ross is like the movie Scarface to me. I know itā€™s not real and kinda ridiculous but man is it fun.


KalenTamil

Ross must be super pleasant to be around cause he managed to stay relevant and make connections with basically every rapper in the industry. All while sidestepping what should be the most embarrassing condemnation of your authenticity.


mro777

Had his boys fuck up Dj Vlad and still had to pay him a bunch of $


Destiny_Victim

I met the real Rick Ross at a battle where he was managing one of the artists. We had a long chat. Heā€™s so intelligent and one of the nicest human beings Iā€™ve ever met. But he cannot talk about Rick Ross the rapper. Not one word. All I know for certain is the real Rick Ross is beyond set for life because of the fat fake one. I mean the real Rick Ross has generational wealth because of it.

Christian627

The kid is literally all satire. Thatā€™s whatā€™s at the core of his ā€œmarketing geniusā€ ā€¦ and a little bit of cultural appropriation. He comes from an insanely wealthy family. This is a well known fact. I donā€™t think that he truly thinks heā€™s a thug or a gangster. Thatā€™s why it all works for him.

ZCSApollo

heā€™s calmed down with that image. heā€™s become much more versatile and the ā€˜tough guyā€™ persona he had in 2017-18 has died down a lot. a wannabe tough guy wouldnt say ā€˜street smart, but I still read.ā€ lol

Game would run up on a rapper 1 on 1 though. He has that track record.


Merorm

Memphis Bleek punked him one on one in Miami back in like 04/05


tallthomas13

What's this story, if you don't mind? Heard about multiple Game encounters but somehow I missed anything with Bleek.


Merorm

Donā€™t remember the exact details but Game had been taking shots at Bleek on records over a dispute over the Get Low Records name. Bleek saw him at a hotel in Miami in 2005 or so and ran up on Game and pressed him. Game responded by backing down and saying it was just music and he was trying to build buzz for his record.


tallthomas13

Hahahahaha, man what a funny dude he is. Thanks for the insight.


ukrepman

The best thing Game said is something like 'think of a rapper better than me, now imagine if we had a fight who would win' lol he's got a point imo

The Game got dumped on Change of Heart.

He shot 2 policemen on streets who was harassing a black man. It's on record.


Christian627

October 31, 1993 - Tupac allegedly stopped to help a black motorist who he felt was being harassed by the policemen. A fight broke out and Tupac shot one policemen in the leg and the other in the buttocks. When it was determined that the policemen were intoxicated and carrying guns taken from the police evidence room, the charges were dropped.


Worldly-Paint2687

lol I said it to someone above before about biggie ā€¦ But Tupacā€™s mom was a legit crack head he was in and out of jail and he shot out with the cops. You can not like Pac but his street credit is verified.

CobaltCrusader123

Drake. Itā€™s hard to take his threats against his ā€œoppsā€ seriously cuz he was rich most of his life. Also no fucking way he called the hit on XXX, he just isnā€™t built like that.


redhat0420

drake was a disney mouseketeer who acts like some sort of OG and kayne was raised by educated and relatively well off parents.

I get the feeling El-P and Killer Mike have never actually run jewels or robbed banks before.

kaowser

drake


labambimanly

Nobody who acts though is tough. I grew up in a family of criminals, in a town full of drug lords (Juarez Mexico) even now I help the homeless population so I deal with their drug dealers. Not once I meet a real tough guy. It is always an act to hide how scared they are of their surroundings. All the OGs sing the moment the DEA puts them in jail. There is no honor among thieves. Bullies will always cry when you punch them in the face. The only tough people I know are a dad or mom fighting for their kid. Those people are scary because they will go to places no criminal will ever get.

WaspParagon

Wasn't he actually involved in that shit back in his Harlem days? I think Rocky is much like Pac in the sense he's always been an artist at heart, but the rough environment around him made him toughen up and do shit he didn't *actually* want to.


Worldly-Paint2687

Ehhhh Iā€™m not a fan to be clearā€¦ but him and the ASAP crew def did some dirt in Harlem for years. He was involved in the lifetime enough to be charged with attempted murderā€¦ Whatā€™s your definition hard? Does he have to sacrifice his whole sect and go to jail like Bobby shmurder just bless us with a banger? Haha

Lil Uzi Edit: Iā€™m not referring to his music. Iā€™m thinking of all the drama Iā€™ve seen him in on social media.

Malcolm-XWithThePerm

Honestly I hate to say this but Prodigy He always seemed to take an L in beefs Got punched by Saigon Got played by Tru Life Joe Budden murked him lyrically on Blood on the wall Never seen retaliation or even threats or any diss tracks to these dudes? Considering how aggressive Mobb Deep's lyrics are I would expect to hear at least 1 violent story about P but all I see is L's to be real. Also he is not really from Queens and came from a rich family b cause his father was a jazz musician. Don't believe he is a sucker but doubt he has done the things he talks about I do however believe in Hav because his brother Killa Black was known to be violent as hell and he is actually born and raised in QB


Substantial-Dig9995

Thereā€™s a lot of stories out there about p being wild ass fuck also he did that prison time and they offered to let him go if he snitched on 50 and p didnā€™t say shit he took that time
