Once smack DVDs and all those other similar ones became very popular I would watch them all. Almost every week it seemed like the dude on the corner would have a new one for five bucks, but after a few I remember thinking this is how these dudes live their life? Hanging out on the corner in the projects smoking blunts counting money all day with thirty ? behind them while they flash guns and talk about how they the toughest ? the world has ever seen?
And I know some rappers always rapped about that ? , dudes that I liked too, but there was something about seeing the visual of them talking for fifteen or twenty minutes just acting hard for a camera that made me pretty much outgrow all rappers, in the sense that I lost a certain respect for them. The whole ? didn't seem cool to me anymore or even desirable. It just looked stupid.
I remember when young jeezy was on a smack DVD with bmf, it was the first time a lot of nyc had even heard of dude and I was like damn these ? doing it big, in a way I never saw before. Then of course they all got indicted shortly thereafter and I remember thinking how dumb it was that those DVDs were the reason they got caught in the first place.
And then seeing dudes like Maino and Saigon and tru life essentially get their whole "careers" just by talking about how they beat ppl up.
I distinctly remember the time tru life was on smack DVD in a bodega using a wad of hundreds as a bib while he ate a bowl of fruity pebbles using champagne instead of milk.
That single moment it hit me that Jay z have this halfbrained idiot a million dollar roc deal. And of course shortly after that tru was in prison for murder.
So yeah, around 2005-2008 is when I started seeing the majority of rappers as clowns. I still listen to the music, and I still respect lots of particular rappers, but overall I think majority of them social media, Instagram, YouTube ? .... No different that an Instagram ? ? or Kardashian or whoever else
Cosign 100%
Him and Max B had the best segments on those DVDs

I can't say I out grew rap. If anything I outgrew all the antics. Maybe it's because of all the access we have to them like dude said. But to me the music kinda got stale. We already know music is repetitive no matter how you slice it. But with so many rappers and all the shenanigans it's hard to consume nowadays.
I can't out grow something that lives in me. But I can get tired of it. -
I can't really agree with the notion of outgrowing rappers cuz I'll still check for my childhood favs every so often but I outgrew certain content. The ultra violent super drug dealer gangsta punchline every line music I can't really listen to. Aside for the fact that all the rappers that actually did that type of rap when I was younger are all 40+ now n their music quality declined this decade at least to me. When I was bout that life it was the best music to listen to for me. After growing up n having to deal with consequences n responsibilities and my preferences changing in general I listened to other artists with different content. I enjoy the occasional hustler tune or a trap song with a hot hook n beat to have fun at a social event. For that matter I don't listen to the preachy pseudo intellectual pretentious my cousin brother uncle father was bout it but I wasn't n speak from the watchers perspective raps either. Shame too a lot dope lyrics come outta those artists but they're too contradicting for me to feel the music all the way. But I'm grown n experienced enough to take entertainment at face value & to give any artist credit where it's due for overall good product even if I'm not into their content or style per say.
