Sometimes I Wish I was a Rapper
Preferably T.I., because his raps are so smooth, but I digress.
Rappers live a glamorous life. However, that’s not why I would want to be a rapper. Rappers live in such an elite and distinct class of society. They get away with things that normal people in normal society could never do.
For example, I could openly boast about my belongings, how sexy my body is, and how much money I have without people judging me. If i were to do that in real life people would think I’m arrogant and pretentious. How many people have really thought, “Bloody Hell! 50 Cent is so cocky! He’s just so full of himself!” None that actually listen to rap.
I could also wear a 300 dollar t-shirt that just has YSL printed down the front, True Religion jeans with the obnoxious pocket design, a Rolex, and carry a Chanel. No one would think anything of it. I wouldn’t be flashy; I’d just be a rapper.
Every other single would be my profession of love to Grey Goose and Patron. In real life, I would just look like vapid, drunken trash, i.e.: Ke$ha, who is not a rapper but a talker who uses autotune.
I could start beef with other rappers, write songs about it, and make snide remarks at award shows. Why? Because they live on the other coast, or simply, I’m just better than them.
There is no such thing as contradictory. In one album, I could rap about how much I love someone that I could marry him, never hurt him, etc, and also rap about how I’m cheating because the sex isn’t good. Even my music videos would contradict the song, but who cares? Drake did it with Best I Ever Had with the extremely blessed (or plastic) women stretching sexily while he’s rapping about how wonderful his girlfriend is, emphasizing more emotion than aesthetics.
Shallowness would never be looked down upon. Sir Mix-A-Lot rapped about big butts, and every other rapper has their music videos flooded with gorgeous women. Never would I have to back up a shallow statement with, “But I like his personality, too!” ever again.
I can openly talk about sex, talk about how good I am, how much you want it, etc. I could talk about how awesome your body is, how good you feel, etc. However, if I wasn’t a rapper, I’d just be a whore.
If I was a rapper I could escape all these social taboos. Literally, I wouldn’t give a fuck.

from that perspective, it all sounds good but I’m not a fan of rap/rappers…
but… you can not give a fuck normally! it’s just hard
@BaLob - you don’t give a fuck normally, and you get judged.
This is an amusing post- I’ve never looked at a rappers perspective!
And you’d be probably the only female Asian rapper that I am aware of. 
You could rap about anytttthiing, and people would bow to you.
start it up. i’ll be your manager. 20%
@CaKaLusa - i’ll be transferring to the gallatin school of individualized study soon to major in rapping. once i graduate, i’ll be more than qualified to become a rapper. we’ll be rolling in the dough.
That’s the same for pretty much any celebrity :L.
Hahhaah! This is the most fabulous thing that I have ever read.
Well I don’t listen to rap and I don’t like most rap songs. >.>… For me I wish I was a pianist + singer >.>
supply and demand. they’re supplying the swagger that the fans demand.you not alone in your sentiment. they know the image that fans of the genre (well, anyone, really) want; money + answering to nobody
