EVERYBODY KNOWS IT AINT TRICKIN IF YOU GOT IT: a message to "ballin" rappers

[Chike]

They're as lost as the white people who orchestrate their music.

 

[thinkerofchange]

this applies to all rappers, no particular color

 

[The Jackal]

Maybe just maybe they don't want to donate their money?

 

[kingblaze84]

Many rappers have donated actually. Twista, Jay-Z, and Wyclef are the few who come in mind. But many people donate, just not everyone wants to turn it into a publicity thing. Not that theres anything wrong with publicizing your donations, but many are just private people. Nothing wrong with that.

Why not argue for the strippers they make it rain on to donate that money?

 

[thinkerofchange]

as i stated in my article, i dont know the specifics of who gave and who didnt, i am just confused on why SOME rappers thinks its ok to publicly flaunt the way they throw away money, but when its time to donate, they would like to be modest

 

[perspective@100]

Generosity and good will does not appeal to the youth like pouring champagne on superhead in a rap video... So as a business person what would you rather be seen doing on TV?

if you help everybody you'll be broke in a split second. there are always people in need in the world, so who can say that the earthquake in Haiti made Haitians more needy than anyone else. Millions of people (before Haitian earthquake) lacked clean drinking water, lacked food, lacked shelter; girls being exploited for sex all around the world, soldiers losing limbs in war. Too many causes for anyone to try and help them all

For the record, rappers are more likely to help than those racists bastards on wall street who have twice the money.....not making an excuse, I'm just saying....

 

[T-MANN]

Why are u just one rappers...what about the nba,nfl,baseball and who the hell ever...why rappers they do not make that much...what about the rich actors that get on tv ask broke people to give....
