this video is brought to you by the ridge wallet stay tuned to find out more OBS records Deb I got my own record company I signed myself check this out just a Happy Meal on table man this is a half a million dollars on the table I don't have no boss I've never had a boss in my life and listen y'all know who he is the notorious skinny me and guess what that's what I like about skinny me music man skinny Mia go through a situation and guess what it's gonna be in this it's only gonna make a song about the same day so I know that's why I feel so much I know it when he said I killed and I did that I seen him do it when he said somebody try to drop on me not wrestling Mad Max man and I seen him do it I know he did it for a fact I went to war with the most dangerous people in my neighborhood I went to the block and we went we came to a block and there was six of us we was going to murder everybody on the floor I didn't know one of my friends was on the corner and we fired on the corner and guess who's on the corner one of my friends turn the camera that way no grease box was on that corner facts how what happened to embrace Ross man just let that [ __ ] fly since its Inception the line between what's real and what's fake and Hip-Hop has always been blurry often rappers will conjure up Tales From A treacherous past to illustrate not just how far they've come but every potential Hazard they had to avoid on the come up and depending on if you're an older rapper like Jay-Z or a younger artist such as 21 Savage these stories can vary wildly but no matter the case the general perception is that anything you talk about in your raps happened in the past because if you were still actively partaking in illegal activity it'd be pretty dumb to alert the cops particularly when your life is a rapper means that there's more eyeballs on you than ever before right well while this is common sense to most there's a subset of hip-hop where keeping it real goes wrong very wrong and in recent years far too many rappers have been a little too honest on their tracks in essence making them Hip-Hops dumbest criminals and while one man stands above all his hip-hop's dumbest criminal let's first touch on some others who found themselves jammed up due to their own lack of foresight although you could argue that it might have been chalked up to youthful naivety there's no denying that take K did himself no favors before he was captured after being placed on house around rest over a robbery gone wrong that saw a man lose his life TK decided to go on the run and release one of hip-hop's hardest tracks all while cutting off his electronic ankle tag and as he put it on the race I was trying to be the case but I didn't beat that case I did the race featuring other incriminating lyrics such as we was plotting y'all trying to get the packing get the packing you get robbed for a fraction TK only made matters worse when he tweeted this house arrest 12 they're gonna have to catch me on Hood he was eventually Tracked Down in New Jersey after a prolonged period on the run it was soon revealed that he killed another man while evading cops and after excerpts from the race were used as evidence he was given 55 years in prison another artist who sells snitch while actively doing dirt on the streets was ynw Melly with hits such as murder on my mind and mixed personalities alongside Kanye West it was murder on my mind which recounted the story of killing a former Friend In Cold Blood that would seal his future a year on from its release Mellie and her friends staged a drive-by shooting of their two friends and fellow ynw members with the belief being that Mellie was The Man Behind the trigger as if that wasn't enough he didn't exactly move without a trace and the attempt to cover up was covered with his own fingerprints uh it looked like a YW Melly might be cooked they said that melly's phone pinpoint him to around the area where the vehicle was traveling when his so-called got shot up the ballistics of the quote-unquote shooting showed that all the shots came from melly's position in the car they have surveillance footage basically showing Mellie getting to that car in that same position they also have the ballistics from the quote quote drive-by with a case that's strengthened by over 60 pages of DNA evidence all signs suggested that Mellie is looking at life imprisonment at least if not the destined although by no means the hardest Criminal by Nature Takashi 69 qualifies and that he ostensibly talked his way behind bars after initially asking some members of the nine tray Bloods to appear in one of his music videos six nine made gang culture into so much of his Public Image that he deluded himself into becoming one ambushed by his own gang and then indicted on racketeering charges Takashi quickly snitched and turned federal witness now he may be released but he's eternally looking over his shoulder and what's more His Image has forever been tarnished on the other side of the spectrum we have an artist like Bobby Shmurda Bobby came out self-snitching from the gate on hot from admitting that Mitch caught a body about a week ago and a reference to his dead friend shiesty which was used by the cops Shmurda wasn't lucky in the sense that his rise to fame coincided with the fact that he and his crew's phone lines were being tapped combined with his lyrics the feds built a robust case and Bobby found himself serving a seven year bid but where Takashi was vilified Bobby kept it honorable and thus kept his credibility in fact he cemented himself in the cultures grew Graces when he took a plea deal which entitled Rowdy Rebel to release early I did it for Rowdy they offered me five and offered rowdy 12. Bobby said in an interview they said the only way they'll give him seven is if I took seven two so you know I had to take one for the dogs in the ranks of hip-hop's most loose-lipped artists it doesn't get much worse than ralo hailing from ATL and affiliated with Gucci Mane's 1017 ralo's appearance on black TV saw him talk about his involvement in the drug business I was the biggest drug dealer in the blood for a long period of time I had Bluff and I had Simpson I had the best quality drugs and I also had large quantity for a lower price so I was out beating all my competition around the way that I had all my dues we just built this big Empire a drug Empire when you come from the era you don't feel like nothing wrong with it the things that I do when I shot people or when I shoot people I ain't feel like it was a bad thing to do because that's what we did all our life drop behind bars for the foreseeable future rylo has committed to never turning for me but for all intents and purposes he arguably took the stand against himself but if rallah worsened his own predicament the man that's being awarded the honors of hip-hop's dumbest criminal of all time has got to go to AR app

get back to the video hailing from the notorious streets of North Philly there was a time when AR AB looked like he had a real shot of making a former battle rapper who aligned himself with Cassidy's larceny family AR AB released a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes and was tipped for a major label deal a man who oversaw his own Indie label obh AR was renowned for his authenticity as when it came to Philly's illicit world he was basically a crime Kingpin nevertheless AR got enough credibility in buzz and rap that he almost signed to Cash Money and at the height of his visibility he was referenced during Drake's beef with Meek Mill with Drizzy spitting I drove here in a wraith playing AR AB on back to back soon AR went from being the hot local rapper to an artist with some serious Credence in the game like did that kind of change people's perception of you yeah yeah everybody kind of like take me serious now a lot of people know my street repetition they hold thought processing me is ABS don't really rap just out here running around with guns naked crazy when Drake mentioned my name it opened up a lot of ears who didn't know who I was with people who knew who I was then they said you know what I'm listening to his music although Loosely Affiliated and given what baby referred to as the green light Arab and other members of his crew such as dark low never acquired a deal with cash money and as dark low explained they couldn't let go of the street life that had already made them a fortune everybody thought we were signed as far as I know it was never no no deal I was just stunner was like I put you out I'm gonna show you some love I'm gonna just stand next to you it was just about being around some real genuine with dark low saying that Drake was actually scared of AR AB it seemed like he'd always struggled to really crack the mainstream but whether fear came into it or not it's actually Up For Debate as in many ways it seemed like if you were around AR AB then his tendency to shoot his mouth off about everything he'd done in the Streets Could Make You guilty just by association I made a lot of money not like drug lord Big Meech money I made uh hundreds of thousands of dollars on the street I got a little cousins little brother who's already shooting people we had a rap group of like four or five artists man two of them in jail for murder right now two different murders right now and these happen to be the same guys I was with when me and Cassie got locked up for the murder so this is my rap group people it got that nasty in the streets when they often say that real G is moving silence Arab basically carried around a megaphone for self-snitching and as we see in the next clip AR app was so Brazen with his criminal Enterprise that he even outlined his plans for taking over a rival block we got like from the 20th Street all the way to Broad Street to epidemic we might take a plot of another stuff be on 20th Street I'm thinking about going to 10th Street nobody gonna do nothing about it anyway once we get over there by 2018 AR ABS past and present caught up with him when he along with his crew were indicted for his Central role in a major drug trafficking operation in 2021 he received a sentence of 45 years meaning that at the age of 38 years old they'll be in his 80s before he's a free man again meanwhile skinny me was recently hit with a life sentence of his own and dark low is serving seven and a half years as for AR ABS lengthy jail turn lawyer Mo gangot believes that even that could have been avoided if he had just stopped doing interviews and what happened at Arab's sentencing was a tragedy the judge before he announces the sentence says young man you've been sitting in my courtroom listening to the statements of the victims listening to the prosecutor discuss your crimes and the entire time you've had your hands folded like this you don't look contrite you don't look like you respect this process I have the ability here today to give you a range of sentences it could be anywhere from here to 45 and what I'm gonna do based on your behavior here today I'm giving you the Max and if I was AR's lawyer I got to be in tune with my client I gotta before he goes in there let him know that bro keeping it real goes wrong you think you're going to go in there you're going to stand tall they won't break you if you act contrite they'll break you if they give you another 20 years although AR App Store didn't pan out well for him it did represent a turning point for cultural awareness of how to act when the cameras are on and if there's any positive Legacy that can be extracted from this lack of secrecy it's that it has enforced awareness around certain platforms during an interview on Vlad TV the very channel on which AR did so much of a self-incrimination sue surf did all but named AR ab's name while speaking of the dangers of doing interviews and discussing Street activity might hold you up to a hospital we've got a couple indicted you're a baiter but you wouldn't say I got anybody indicted but you think some of my peers aren't fast enough or aren't intelligent enough to know when is bait being swung they way if the police sees any sort of footage I would deny it I would fight it you don't got to go straight to YouTube from TK to AR AB the tendency for rappers to self snitches unfortunately still prevalent in hip-hop today still with any luck the many petitions that have been signed to ban hip-hop lyrics from being used in court will be implemented soon but before this happens rappers need to help themselves by not placing themselves in that situation in the first place
