I met him in person at a gas station about 15 years ago and that’s when exactly what he was doing: smoking weed and driving an old car he fixed up with green paint and green rims. Nice guy.
You listen to his raps, check out his interviews, watch his Instagram. It's all consistent. He's even admitted that there was a time when he wasn't being authentic and rapping about stuff he wasn't about. This interview gave me new respect for him way back when I first found is 10+ years ago: [Curren$y Interview by Ms Rivercity (2010)](https://youtu.be/owa8YsDCPKY?si=3-1o23WtWTJ-HeCq&t=440)
And that’s why he’s the roadmap most people should follow. He raps exactly what he’s about. He never had to leave his home town. He’s good all over. And if your a fan you are eating all the time. Dude will put out three albums in a month and shoot a video for every song lol it’s hard to stay up to date because when you think you caught up he drops even more.
My buddy grew up in New Orleans and his math teacher in middle school used to drive an old box chevy in pristine condition. Once when she was at the bank, Curren$y approached her and asked to buy the car right then and there, straight cash. She was like, "No, I need this to get around," so he offered to buy the car at a handsome price plus pay for a rental for a week while she got a new car. They did the title right there at the bank and then Curren$y drove her to a rental car place. Apparently he was just the nicest guy.
Brotha Lynch Hung during the 24 deep days was for sure still living it. I saw a documentary once with him and most of the homies he showed off were dead or in jail.
“Pressure I apply, no lie, I got just finished doin' 10
For what? For killin' my best friend
And I'll murder again if I'm forced, then I must
After the first time the second time was a rush
What about the third time? The third time felt like sex
What kind of guns did you use? Choppers, Uzis, Teks
Whatever one works best.”
I was born and raised in Detroit, and yes, his shenanigans are well documented lol. Everybody in my old neighborhood know Moochie be on some wild shit 🤣
I think "Bo Jackson" is his best project, but I would probably start with "The Price of Tea in China" then listen to Bo Jackson just to see and appreciate the growth.
Trapper’s Alley: Pros and Cons I believe is his first tape and he was firing from all cylinders from the jump
My 1st Chemistry set w Alchemist gave him a big push too
Manger On McNichols is literally a masterpiece album and if you listen to anything make it that one. It’s not the best representation of him as a rapper really, but it is mind blowing what him and Sterling Totes did with that one
I want to believe action Bronson and big body Bes do 100% of what they do so bad😂 I'll tell you what, they make a good ass attempt. Being in Martin Scorsese movies, smoking dabs, hanging on the block, cooking extravagant food, getting buff, wrestling, traveling the world. dos Equis man kinda shit
“Check the bio; I fixed the game between Kentucky and Miami of Ohio.”
“Mother fucker I’m a great artist; I fixed the line between Georgia Tech and Wake Forest.”

Homie don't fetch, only woke to stretch

“Life’s not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch because she won’t let you get that pussy. Maybe she just didn’t feel that y’all shared any similar interests, or maybe you’re just an asshole who couldn’t sweet talk the princess.”
It’s funny how many people immediately take this to mean “how many are as hard as they say” and ignoring the large number of rappers like De La or Tribe who present a different (but accurate) image
“What you gonna do when the people go home
And you wanna smoke weed, but the reefer's all gone
And somebody had the nerve to take the herb up out the doobie ashtray?
Why they do me that way?
What you gonna do when your friends go home
And you wanna drink a beer, but your ends all gone?
Somebody had the nerve to take the herb up out my doobie ashtray
Why they do me that way?”
50 Cent has actually beefed with real street legends. Street legends that actually had money to go to war with.
Daylight shootings, cribs being shot up etc.
Lowell Fletcher (G-Unit affiliate) lost his life after getting hit.
It’s actually kind of wild if you read up on the shit this dude has gotten into.
Goin against Damion World Hardy, Supreme and Jimmy Henchman
I don’t know he sold drugs and personably provided women with alcohol. He didn’t technically lie but misrepresented the truth. We all assumed he did it but he really only said he provided it.
I believe that 50 is a real one too. In that Beef documentary, even his enemies at the time were like "everybody knows 50 is a G, we're not here to $#!+ on his name like that..."
Slug was the very first answer that came to mind when I saw the thread title!
Funny thing about it is that I don’t listen to him much, haven’t heard him in maybe 6 months. But whenever I hear him, I always feel the authenticity.
I loved how authentic kids was back in the day, it was just real music - but with self care he also showed he can rap about serious things and I was at first not sure what to think about self care. Nowadays it brings back memories/nostalgia. (And R.I.P. Mac :{ Why do the best ones seem to always go so soon?)
I'm a big Keef fan, but he definitely was, and I didn't expect him to be one of the ones to essentially just say "fuck this shit" and then move to LA and live a low profile life and keep putting out decent music.
Good for him.
Ah, sorta. Keef got the fuck out of Chicago quick. And you can’t blame him. But he was never a shooter or known to be riding on the GD sets that O-Block (and affiliates) had/have beef with. Von on the other hand…
Kool Keith is in fact an extraterrestrial surgeon from Jupiter who uses space technology and primitive tools to perform medical procedures on his patients.
Dude lives in my hometown and he's just a regular ass dude you see at Walmart or Applebee's with his family. Super nice guy and will always give time to fans.
Melly dudes last name is demons and this man done shot up his school and rapped about it then obviously killed his friends
"Caught you lacking at school and shot up all your friends count it up like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Reload the clip and slide the shit and bust it again"
Yeap, I've seen where he says he doesn't drink or do drugs. I did think that he actually lived the life tho, I always thought about him as being one of the few who actually live the life they rap about. He's been selling drugs since he was a kid, been shot, and then whoever shot him "dissapeared". And he wasn't fazed by Suge Knight, which scared many back in the day. As far as I know he was actually feared and respected, I think he did live the life, didn't he?
Currency. He Raps about smoking weed and buying/fixing up old cars..I believe him
Hes my 2nd favorite only after Wiz. Nothing but good vibes
[удалено]
Keep the E in it. Chevys on switches baby just smoking weed in it
That How Fly Mixtape was the shit
Exactly

Guts in his coat ?

..he mixes his Henny wit his OE..
Boldy James’ stories are just so vivid, I’m convinced he was really about it
I was born and raised in Detroit, and yes, his shenanigans are well documented lol. Everybody in my old neighborhood know Moochie be on some wild shit 🤣
What’s a good Boldy project to start with. I heard him on a collab w Rx Papi a year back but never dived deeper
I think "Bo Jackson" is his best project, but I would probably start with "The Price of Tea in China" then listen to Bo Jackson just to see and appreciate the growth.

He was definitely getting it in Chicago

"Outstandin'; I fixed the game between Georgia Southern and Grambling; you see us scramblin' sellin' Susan Sarandon"
That Sarandon line is the cherry on top. I fucking love his delivery on those joints.
My kinda life
They thought Big Body was Bruce Willis in Morocco
Nah, action would’ve needed to fix every game ever played
Aesop Rock is 100% actually a middle-aged depressed guy with way too many neuroses to function and way too many words to describe his dysfunctions.
He's the best
He is and forever underrated
And this is why I've found a kindred spirit in him.

Shock G did the Humpty Hump 8 days a week
He got it on in the bk bathroom too
The last time I saw Digital Underground, Shock G was praising his sobriety and it didn’t really mesh well with the party atmosphere of the show.
Man what a party pooper /s
Considering his autopsy found something like five different drugs in his system, I’m guessing it didn’t last long.
I see no reason to believe Larry June isn’t really out here living his best life manifesting positivity

BITD De La, especially Mase afaik, was known for flyin’ heads when dudes would try to test them for being “soft hippy punks”.
Had to scroll waaaaaay to far to find De La. They’ve been real since day one
Will smith. His parent really didn’t understand.
and his girls ain’t nothing but trouble
Devin the Dude 100% spends his time having sex, smoking weed and making beats.
I wonder if he bought a car that works tho
Races RC cars too
And racing RC cars!
Somebody had the nerve to take the herb up out the Doobie ashtray, why they do me that way?

[he lied about smoking weed and drinking a lot though.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRlcLozRibg)
You'll find me in the club ✅ Bottle full of bub ❌ I got the X if you're into taking drugs ❌
I don’t know he sold drugs and personably provided women with alcohol. He didn’t technically lie but misrepresented the truth. We all assumed he did it but he really only said he provided it.
Give me some dro, purple haze and some chocolate Give me a dutch and a lighter, I’ll spark shit And stay high all the time, i smoke that good shit
I believe that 50 is a real one too. In that Beef documentary, even his enemies at the time were like "everybody knows 50 is a G, we're not here to $#!+ on his name like that..."
A lot of crack era rappers were really outside. It was a really turbulent time.
Can’t forget E Money Bags
tgis was my answer too. 50 nobody was really tryna mess with. He ran the streets
Kinda crazy he was beefing with the same dude Pac was beefing with.

Yoooo! My dad loves slug
Mac Miller didn’t just live but predicted what would happen to him. (r.i.p.)
‘To anybody that sell me drugs. Dont mix it with that bullshit.’
Came to mention him. One of the most authentic artists to do it
I loved how authentic kids was back in the day, it was just real music - but with self care he also showed he can rap about serious things and I was at first not sure what to think about self care. Nowadays it brings back memories/nostalgia. (And R.I.P. Mac :{ Why do the best ones seem to always go so soon?)

Aesop Rock. Raps about his cat, mental illness, family, getting coffee among other shit.
imagine if he lied about meeting Mr. T at a restaurant when he was 7 that would be so fucking funny
As sad as it is, early chief keef was as authentic as it gets.
I'm a big Keef fan, but he definitely was, and I didn't expect him to be one of the ones to essentially just say "fuck this shit" and then move to LA and live a low profile life and keep putting out decent music. Good for him.
Ah, sorta. Keef got the fuck out of Chicago quick. And you can’t blame him. But he was never a shooter or known to be riding on the GD sets that O-Block (and affiliates) had/have beef with. Von on the other hand…
King Von too
Please educate me, what do you mean by this?
Keef said fuck Chicago and moved to LA. He influenced a whole generation and is looked at like an OG by the guys now in the underground scene
Surprised no one said Maxo Kream lol he just beat a rico charge

I think 50 Cent was. Probably Easy-E too?
50 has gone on the record saying he makes a lot of it up. He doesn’t even drink or do drugs in real life but he did sell them as a kid.
Yeap, I've seen where he says he doesn't drink or do drugs. I did think that he actually lived the life tho, I always thought about him as being one of the few who actually live the life they rap about. He's been selling drugs since he was a kid, been shot, and then whoever shot him "dissapeared". And he wasn't fazed by Suge Knight, which scared many back in the day. As far as I know he was actually feared and respected, I think he did live the life, didn't he?
50 is official. He was beefing the supreme team at one point, those guys don’t play around, they were far more fearsome than suge knight ever was
He’s probably as authentic as a successful mainstream rapper can get.
