From what I understand, MTV encouraged most of the celebs on cribs to rent a place to show off.

I don't know ben baller like that, nor do I have an interest. I personally love hip-hop, streetwear, fashion, etc...but have always thought that hip-hop jewelry has been lame/gaudy.
that said, there was no need for me to follow him - so I literally know nothing about the dude...
but I wish NTers would understand that in the entertainment industry, luxury, and really American culture in general: PERCEPTION IS REALITY.
most entertainers' job requires them to be socially relevant in some way shape or form. In hip-hop, especially since the 90s, it has always been about the flex.
Cars, women, jewelry, what have you. Almost every episode of "Cribs" you seen, cars were not actually owned Because it is their job to project a perception or "brand."
Whether it's promoting a fight, or a teeny-bopper telling their fans they love them....or even Kobe saying that he absolutely was a DIRE LAKER FAN. You gotta take some of this ish with a grain of salt.
It ain't them being fake - the entertainment business is built on projected realities. It's a branding business.
Some on MTV cribs really owned everything they shown. Some like Ja Rule rented everything including the crib.
Do you know this, without a shadow of doubt?

That **** is popping though. High-end streetwear was essentially my last gig at a Boutique in San Fransisco. Had tees for 180 and above. The fashion scene is taking ideas from the hood, what else is new.
Cats is tapering Girbaud and NBA logo jeans now for a slim fit now from what i have seen on twitter lol
Lies!
That wasn't last night.
Some of you dudes are looking real weird in this topic and really need to evaluate some things as men.
D dopeness types like Ben is going to befriend him for the caping. Yo, I saw you riding for me on NT and seem like a cool dude. I really hope some of you are as loyal and care about people you know as much

what doesnt bother you on NT?
i hope your s/n does not imply that you are 38 years old either
He's right though...
On both fronts the people caping and the people hating... and not just for Ben, just like people in particular they don't know in real life... i.e. Jay-Z or NaS
But then this is a discussion forum and people are going to talk... especially in the General forum.

criticize for what end?so financially successful people should never be critiqued because that would be "hating"? or does it go so far as an individual is impervious to critique from any person who makes less but can be insulted by someone who makes more? i need clarification
Riiiight...because we all know that people only "critique" him on here..so financially successful people should never be critiqued because that would be "hating"?
lol read back to the only other post i did in here and i the only words i typed about him were praise. i sent him some shoes that cost me less than $100 and he sent me this huge box of LRG clothes that was probably worth close to a grand retail. don't matter how he got it - it was a generous gesture and that's the only fact i have about him that i know for sure. he seems like a pretty funny dude and very giving.criticize for what end?
why does dude matter so much to yall..
I can't comprehend how you see your opinion on a random person to be so relavent
