In a statement that we can probably all agree with, 2 Chainz goes in on his peers and fellow rappers that he feel have gotten too “cool” and way too “arrogant”. In a recent interview, 2 Chainz vents on how some rappers have gotten so arrogant that if they’re in a public setting with another rapper or fans, instead of acknowledging them, they’ll opt to put on headphones or have a fake phone conversation just to avoid the interaction. 2 Chainz also touches on how his humility has taken him further than some of his more arrogant counterparts.
See what 2 Chainz had to say below.
“I think everybody [in the game] got too cool, the whole about coming into the room and sh*t,” he said. “It’s like all of us [rappers] know we’re in the room, but n***as act like they don’t see each other…that sh*t is what’s f**king up the game. I ain’t got to dap every n***a down, but at [least] say ‘What’s up.’ That sh*t’s what took [me] a little bit further than the more arrogant [artists]…that’s the little sh*t that might separate from another n***a, ‘cus I’ll be in the airport and pull that move [and] I’ll [say], ‘What’s up?’ when I hear my name…I don’t know how to fake talk on the phone, I don’t know how to listen to my headphones [and ignore someone]…I could have my headphones on for real, and if I hear you, I’ll still acknowledge you. You know when n***as start getting them checks…they [get arrogant].”
I’m starting to like 2 Chainz more and more by the day. From his humble statements to the hilarious “Breastimate Challenge” he did with XXL Mag, he seems like one of the coolest rappers out right now. 2 Chainzzz!!
