After years of strugglin' in the harsh times
 

ya boy Soup earning over £40,000 ($62,000) a year at the age of 20... Not too bad if I say so myself; Bank gone be in 6 figures in the next 5 years - Not many people I know can say that at such a young age, I guess hard work & patience do pay off.

congratulations Bro. Don't ruin yourself... "When you get in the endzone act like you been there before"

thats wwassup yo if u got a youtube can you like and comment this for me i'd apppreciate it

congrats dog.. Good shit bro

niceee.. gs man gradz.. keepAtIt tho and don't slack.. it's only the beginning yo

Your still young. Keep shooting for more.

the hell are you doing @SoupErb

I'm 21 and on 37euro a week on welfare. Looks like we're both living the dream.

Well done fam, congratz, lol i dont know u but im proud of u lmao good shit realtalk.

Good shit!

What job is giving u this wage?

@Jason lmfao!

Lol @Jason

I fill/empty gas cylinders used for Medical & Industrial purposes; Oxygen, Nitrous Oxide, Acetylene, Propane etc etc.

So next time any of y'all got a gran'momma lyin' in the E.R in need of some Oxy-Gen.. Im'a make sure she get that propane up her nostrils 'n' a blowtorch to her throat.. Special delivery no packaging fee.

i swear you need more than high school education to do that no?

Not really its really common sense..can't believe that type of job is paying that though

most jobs in the health care field dealing with medical equipment involve education , is all iim sayin

No Hate, but Fuck this fishing for compliments bragging bullshit. Some people work their whole lives to make less than that, and you @SoupErb come on here acting like you have had really hard times… Everyone has hard times… Yours are not special or harder. Good for you for making a lot of money. *Clapping*

No Hate, but sincerely reflect on how that comes off? and the fact that others congratulated you is silly. 'No perspective on the world. This isn't group therapy where you come to tell people about your successes financially, thats personal shit.

RESPECT, just keep your business business that way your not taken advantage of. What you did is like flashing bills, which if you were really from the hood would get you jumped.

-FREAK-

Yeah @Jason

Plus danger money - I work for a level 1 security gas company, if 1 cylinder goes boom they all go boom.. and the site holds around 300,000 not including the huge ammonium nitrate tanks, which could wipe out a couple cities within minutes.

@Freak_MC

Hahaha. I ain't asking for congratulations.

And you talkin' about personal shit? This is a rap battle site.. Alotta personal shit gets spilled on to here, whether it be how successful someone has become or if somebody just got exposed for being white when they lied about being black for years.. *C Teezy* ..

I just felt like postin what was on my mind at that moment in time.. Which just so happened to be my success in earning myself a very well paid job and in turn means I can move on and live the way I choose - After all; Cash Rules Everything Around Me.

Oh and don't try pull that "if you were really hood" shit on me.. I'm comfortable where I live, and where I live you wouldn't be comfortable. Who said all money is legal money?

I'm just getting money like everybody else.

If he was really from the hood he would get jumped. Lmfao I love "hood" people. They act like their these big bad gangsters, yet if they cross the road they could get their faces caved in. Maybe you've got a billion guys in your gang, but it doesn't matter if you're in Compton, London or even somewhere gay like Canada, you can still get the fuck kicked out of you.

congratz ... wouldnt want it myself but if you do then more power to u

Yo Soup, lemme hold a buck...

Don't think I know you but congrats... but years of struggling? Dawg your only 20...... But great work on landing a good paying job!....

Lol at the scotsman saying canadas gay

Canada is a cross between France and America. Nuff said.

@EtH and @SoupErb … Yeah obviously anybody could be beaten up anywhere, but saying thats true to the same degree everywhere you go is bullshit. If you are in certain cities and hit the wrong person in the face or say the wrong thing, you can find yourself dead real quick… and Baltimore is one of those places.

Also, I never said I was from the hood… and I'm pretty sure Baltimore is a whole lot more dangerous than Manchester, so I don't see why I would be uncomfortable there… You live in fucking North Yorkshire. Yeah I know a lot of country Brits own guns and there are a bunch of soccer hooligans, but really? You are lucky you are where you are, because evidently its okay to run your mouth about personal shit, which just wouldn't fly in harder places.

The only thing that I would be slightly uncomfortable with in Manchester is all the really white drunken British people… and not because they scare me in the least.

Come to Baltimore, walk down Pennsylvania Avenue at night…. SMH, the city I live in has a hit HBO show about it called The Wire about how gangs and corruption go hand in hand.… and that shit is real, not exaggerated. Have you heard of it? Maybe you should check it out before talking about how hard its is to be a white male in Manchester? (Your life is automatically much easier than many others, and all I'm saying is that should be recognized before making a thread about how great your shit is.)

Yeah alright, try hitting a 15 year old with his mates in the middle of Glasgow and see what happens then. It doesn't matter where you are, that shit happens all the time. You think you're from the baddest place around and you'd be complete comfortable because they don't have guns? Smh watch out guys, Mike Tyson up in here.

I was talking to Phoenix earlier, and he was telling me how people in his country are fighting with rocket launchers and stuff all the time. You think Baltimore is hard? You think walking down there at night is rough? Yeah, try walking down his street and night then.

You act like you've got this big hard life, but as I said to Phoe then, theres always something more difficult. You might think your area is tough to live in, but Phoe would consider his life safe as fuck living on your street. YOU should recognize that just because you think you're from some "hard" place, that it doesn't always mean you have the hardest road. Some guy in my tiny shit town I'm living in in Ireland got his face caved in by 6 dudes attacking him with hammers. This might not be the most dangerous place around, but I'm pretty sure that dude's family will tell you that you're lucky as fuck that you're sitting pretty in Baltimore while that dude's dead.

And why do you keep referencing "white"? I fucking hate black racists. What next? You're going to tell me of all the oppressing you had to deal with 100 years ago?

And did you ACTUALLY say that a bunch of Manchester drunken football hooligans wouldn't scare you? Lmfao. Have you actually ever been in a fight before?

lord knows i havent been in a fight shut the fuck up uneth

I don't see what's the big deal if he came in here and shared some inforamtion.... We come to these forums and share a bunch of shit about our lives.... When we write we do write about our lives as well... but when someone has something positive to post... he is throwing it in our faces.. Now if he came in and was a bitch about it.. I would be right there with you.. but he was not...

so really no big deal..

My city is tougher than your city.....Honestly, you can get jacked within any city good or bad!... Keep things cool and straight and no matter where you live.. you should be fine for the most part!...

@EtH I said originally that I didn't think I was hard… or lived in the hood. Can you read? And then you go act like we disagree, even though I just said it is relative and you can get your ass kicked anywhere. Thats called agreeing. All I'm saying is that of course it differs from place to place, but one thing remains relatively true…

You shouldn't flash money in public. If you don't agree then you're a dumbass. The internet is public, so… if you want to do that go for it! It just makes you more vulnerable to getting taken advantage of.

Also I'm not black… nor did I say I was. My point about being white is that white people (which I am technically) experience less prejudice on average than other minorities do in the world. If you want to be a bitch about all this go for it, but the way I see it is why would you come to a public forum talkin about getting such a great job and shit and then say its not fishing for compliments? What else is there to say…. oh yeah "PROBLEMS 100 YEARS AGO"!!!???! FUCK YOU! RACIAL INEQUALITY STILL EXISTS you racist fuck. What did you think Civil Rights just stopped happening after the 1960's?

Plus you're a racist EtH as proven by the racist comment "Fucking Jews" that you openly displayed on a tournament battle on this site, so I don't give a fuck about your opinion honestly. Plus this whole site is just one more attempt by a bunch of white people to steal a traditionally black form of music… go read some history. At least I don't deny my involvement in such problems.

Also, I could easily come up on the forum and talk about all the great shit that I think I accomplish, but thats sort of a lame thing to do.

-FREAK-

Let's see what others from America think about this one @skinEC , @KrYhmeKillz , @CeeDavis , @MoLogic1 , @originalAllBoro , @mrock , @mistergoodness , @Monii , @BADNEWS Biscuits , @GRizzEAT , @✍SlitzBeats™ INVITE EVERYONE.

Whoa... Maybe my friend you better read up a tad bit more becasue Hip Hop back in the days was not just for the black community it was also for the HISPANIC community as well as ANYONE living in the Ghetto.... Plus you do remember such groups as 3rd Base and Beastie Boys right? So this whole RAP IS BLACK bullshit is exactly that... bullshit... It was just WIDELY adopted by the black community. NOW, Hip Hop knows no color.. Your either skilled or not....

Here's a link describing my point...

The reference of "You wouldn't walk down my street at night" is what really set me off.

I'd flash my money in public, but I'd be smart about where I do.

There is next to know prejudice these days. Black people can get literally any high level job they want if they put the work in. I had a back and forth with someone on this website once that black people are stuck in the hood and don't get the opportunities that white people do. That person obviously had the internet. Why don't they study the fuck out of their subjects using the internet, kick ass on their exams, and then, like the white kids who get exceptional marks, get scholarships into college? If not that, then why don't they focus on sports and turn out like so many of the NBA, NFL etc? Instead of complaining all the time.

I am quite racist, but if I'm right I might have posted that in retort to like Mindless or something. Lmfao at this is a way for white people to steal a black art form of music. Hilarious. [ACCENT="Country"]Alright, well, if any of them niggers play them some country western or make a pop song, I'm gunnah lynch me some coons[/ACCENT]. Britney Spears was doing what Jason Derullo and Usher are doing years ago. Those genre stealing bastards! How the FUCK is white people rapping a "problem"?

^^^ THis is RACISM ^^^ Country comes from blues dumbass EtH.

@InCizion You're totally right hispanics, particularly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans had a very large role in the roots of hip hop starting in the South Bronx… yeah I got ya, my bad for the omissions. And yes Jews and others were involved a bit later than that as well.

Yet, about 70% of recorded hip hop record sales are to white male teenagers? Look it up, its been published even in academic articles. I'm not saying it has to do with color, but it certainly has to do with Civil Rights an inequality between classes and races…

so wtf? How does it help to come up and brag about money when some people don't have enough?

I am saying the problem is unconscious rap that believes that race is not part of hip hop, because it is… DIRECTED at EtH-> You think you're hardcore because you listen to gangster rap? Some people live the gimmick that others fake… and from what I can tell, living it isn't easy…. and certainly not worth rapping about unless you're in it for money, so fuck gangster rap… its garbage being sold to garbage.

If you're into reading about this @InCizion then I also suggest the book , "Cant Stop Won't Stop." by Jeff Chang

y'all a bunch of puppets

I enjoy gangster rap so I listen to gangster rap. What's the problem?

You are being exploited and in the process exploiting others, but thats only a problem if you consider it one.

It's just a matter of opinion I guess... just like the GOP vs. Liberals... we each have our views for our reasons... RESPECT given though... I don't have to fully agree with you to respect you....

I love and hate everyone equally... I think there are stereotypical views of each race that is TRUE!.... But as long as people realize that this world would be nothing without each race... Each race adds a touch of flavor to our everyday lives it's very importnat here in the United States.. even though it seems the conservative party here are filled with racists in general (but not all).....

Square dance back in the days is basically rap with a white twang within it.....lol...

Lmao at I'm being exploited. Pulse, another conversation you'd fit right into over here!

For fun, heres a record that says that battle rap started in Scotland :D

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/m...professor.html

lol at being exploited.

SUCK IT… @EtH … if you wanna go back… go all the way back and say Greeks invented it..

Hilary Mackie has detected in the Iliad a consistent differentiation between representations in Greek of Achaean and Trojan speech,[7] where Achaeans repeatedly engage in public, ritualized abuse: "Achaeans are proficient at blame, while Trojans perform praise poetry."[8]
Taunting songs are part of many cultures such as Inuit civilization. Flyting also existed in Arabic poetry in a popular form called naqa'id, as well as the competitive verses of Japanese Haikai.

-FREAK-

Dont listen to greek insult poetry, you're being exploited and you don't even know it.

@Agonize , @EtH , You don't think you're being exploited? Then what do you call buying a gangster rap album that makes you feel good, but the artist put it together real quick just to make money off of you bcuz he knows that the gangster image makes young white males feel better about themselves?

Meanwhile, the rapper doesnt even really enjoy half the exploits he's using to exploit you? Many gangsters or thugs are too deep into the game to even be able to get out, and you think they are happy? No they are unhappy as the stupid fucks they sell their music too so that they can feel better.

Yeah CREAM rules everything around you, because the money has come before your own fucking humanity. I enjoy gangster rap sometimes, but at least I see it for the sad excuse for music that it is…. go listen to Wynton Marsalis or Miles Davis or somebody who spent the time composing…

Busta Rhymes even said he didnt like half of rap, because he knows what it is… Nas said HipHop is Dead… Why would they say that unless they understood the exploitation of the game?

What, You didn't think I would stand up for my own opinion? Everybody's got opinions like assholes, and they all stink… mine included. But, if you are all going to be smelling yourselves then I assuredly am going to promote my own stink as well.
