I don't really understand guys like this. He comes off as, frankly, a complete moron. Like 100 IQ on a good day. Is he ACTUALLY despite appearing to be an uneducated idiot good in business? Like, does he have savvy that I don't notice immediately or is he rich from selling basically attitude and benefiting from a snowball effect of others thinking he must be awesome, so that makes him rich, which increases how awesome they think, so they buy more crap, and it is a self-feeding cycle?

 

[PricklyPete]

That is really disturbing.

That is really disturbing.

I loled for real but which part is disturbing in particular or are all parts disturbing?

 

[vshah]

what a horribly written article. 267 is for the supersports, which I don't think that is.

 

[basslover1]

I couldn't watch the entire video. I hate people that talk like him. Black or white, I'm not racist, he just sounds like a complete retard.

 

[CRXican]

more money than you can comprehend

no matter how he talks, stupid rich!

With emphasis on the stupid?

Yes and only very loosely on "talks" since he kind of slurs out his thoughts like a junky.

 

[AdamK47]

What is he saying? It's all mushy.

Who the hell is he that he has so much money? What a knob..

Also. driving the car in the rain even, just doesn't seem right.

i didn't understand a goddamn thing

Perhaps he doesn't have as much money as he'd like people to think. There are plenty of examples of people out there that have a decent amount of money and blow a majority of it in a (some) item(s) just to show off.

 

[Spicedaddy]

Had to drive it in the rain, the rental company was picking it up the next morning...

 

[jpeyton]

You have to look beyond the "thug" image and realize someone who went from being a crack dealer to a multi-millionaire is somewhat intelligent.

It's all a ruse. Think Stringer Bell in The Wire.

 

[fatpat268]

And he'll probably be bankrupt in a year or two.

It's just like so many professional athletes. They get these huge paydays and blow it on expensive stuff that also requires a lot of money to upkeep (taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc). A lot of these people also don't realize that they're probably not going maintain a multi million dollar salary for long, and thus they go bankrupt due to poor financial planning.

I'm not sure how this guy fits in, but if you're spending 2 million on a car... I dunno what to say.

 

[jpeyton]

And he'll probably be bankrupt in a year or two.

Doubtful.

Many pro athletes lose their fortune because 99% of them don't have a revenue stream after they can't play anymore.

Record label owners won't go broke unless people stop listening to music.

He's basically just throwing together cursing and then other rappers' names, presumably to give them shout-outs, but it's hard to really tell.

I saw the headline about Birdman and I swore they were talking about this guy:

Veyron Lake Crash

Didn't that guy that drove on into a lake live in a $200,000 house? Obviously not poor, but a seriously makes you question his priorities.

edit

I saw the headline about Birdman and I swore they were talking about this guy:

Veyron Lake Crash

yeah, that guy.

 

[StageLeft]

Sad. I can understand wrecking it but it looks like he was just playing the stereo or something and drove into a lake, must have caused the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in water damage.

 

[PricklyPete]

I loled for real but which part is disturbing in particular or are all parts disturbing?

It's just disturbing that people like him in the world exist. I have nothing against someone who has a Bugatti and can afford to keep it up. But anyone that self involved is just hard to swallow. Does he really wake up every day proud of his existence?

I won't deny that there is some "grudge" factor in that a person who clearly has a hard time writing his own name without spelling mistakes has somehow managed to be more business savvy than I am. I won't deny that.

I am on the same page exactly. It's just wrong.
