It's so absurd. It was weird when I saw a few rappers flex the average Tesla SUV in their videos lol. But now they're showing the Cybertrucks in their videos as if it's a Rolls Royce or some shit.
As stupid as they are, chains and diamonds and super and luxury cars make sense as something to flex. Jewelry has been a symbol of wealth forever, and luxury cars have the history and reputation of being fast and/or absurdly expensive.
But Tesla? They're literally getting paid by the government. I suppose scamming is a common theme in trap but like... this is just pathetic lol. At least be on the side of Elon and not the guy owning the Cybertruck if it's all about scamming lmao. The government is also paying them to "eventually" become more affordable and widespread. Imagine if Mercedes became as ubiquitous as Camry's. The people driving Telsas and Cybertrucks are the same ones posting motivational quotes on LinkedIn on a Saturday night. Where is the "luxury?" It's expensive, sure, but there are so many car brands out there that are even more expensive, nicer looking, and less annoying. Watching the new Future video and I can't help but think "you can't be roleplaying as a hardened thug while dancing in front of a clown car"
I also notice the Apple Vision Pro in a few videos, but not as prominent as the Cybertruck. The AVP is even worse because it's worn by obnoxious yuppies so they can do spreadsheets in real life. SMH what happened to real rap? Back then these fools would've been robbed
Isn't this all music? Name a metal band that produced better angst after they bought their second vacation home. It's all a sitcom act of two dimensional characters they can't break free of either.
Well yes but that's what I mean. There are much more expensive and better looking things to be bragging about than a 2nd grader's drawing of a car
The Cybertruck is just what's in vogue right now. If you were to look outside of the Hexbear bubble, most people on the street actually think the Cybertruck looks super cool and expensive.
Its popularity is probably not going to last. The PT Cruiser was seen the same way when it first came out, but once there were a million of them on the road, it became positively uncool.
I don't know anyone that likes it, but we probably have different social circles
yeah but pt cruiser was never cool either
i don't think system of a down is metal, but they've always gone hard
