Leslie Horn's Biblical Theory Of Why American Fat Rappers Should Stay That Way by And9: 6:03am On Aug 31, 2015 |
There's a story in the Bible about a guy named Samson, a very strong man with very long hair that had never been cut— and when it finally did get chopped off, he lost all his strength. It's the same thing with fat rappers. A big belly is to a hip-hop star what long, flowing locks were to people in the Old Testament, apparently. Thus, when a good emcee who happens to be fat loses weight, he stops being good. By dropping pounds, they somehow stop dropping hits. Think about it. When was the last time you were excited about a Rick Ross album? He put out two last year. TWO! Neither were very memorable Meanwhile, the guy is disappearing before our very eyes. Shout-out to all the pear, but they're seriously endangering his legacy. The strength of once-obese rappers lies in the weight they shed. Perhaps their size gave them some sort of don't-give- a-Bleep attitude that fades away when they get healthy. There's another side to it, too: Think of all the fat rappers out there still doing their thing and doing it well. Have guys like Bun B or Big Boi or Twista gone downhill? Nope. Neither have their waistlines. Action Bronson is fat and happy; Fat Trel is living up to his name, too. love-vendor C, Big Pun, Big Hawk, Fat Pat, Biggie Smalls ... they all died fat, and they all died at or near the top of their games (RIP). Meanwhile, there are several current rappers who got swole and then got terrible. Let me explain. Mike Jones:

WHO? In the mid-aughts, Mike Jones
showed all the promise in the world
—"281-330-8004 / Hit Mike Jones up on
the low." He was on fire and destined
for greatness ("Back then they didn't
want me / Now I'm hot, they all on me".
Then he hit the gym. |

FAT JOE: With a name like Fat Joe, you can't just stop being fat. It's blasphemy. Around 2005 (and not a moment after), Terror Squad and co. was huge. So was Joe, in a physical sense. Now, he has shrunk to virtually half his original size, and done basically nothing else.

PAUL WALL: Human bobble head Paul Wall had a moment about 10 years ago when he was all over the place; then he got his stomach stapled, which not only rendered him unrecognizable, but torpedoed his career. All that lean the self-proclaimed "po' up poet" drinks probably doesn't help things, either.

SCARFACE: Scarface is such a tiny guy now! He's also a living legend, and I guess he can sit on that for the rest of his life and never put out another hit, and that would be fine. Buuuut, that's clearly his plan: He hasn't done anything notable since maybe "My Block." He also lost about 100 pounds recently.

RICK ROSS: I hate to break it to you, but Rick Ross kinda sucks now. He used to be great, but his last few albums ... well, I'm going to just trail off here, because I can't name one good song off the most recent one, Hood Billionaire. Now all he's good for are guest spots. He's lost heft as a superstar, too.

I think I've made my point. I'm not saying I want anyone to shy away from a healthy lifestyle; it's just that a healthy lifestyle is sometimes in direct opposition to rap excellence. I love Rozay. He seems like a good guy. He owns a chain of Wing Stops. He's the #10pcshawty, and he should stay that way. He's perfect just the way he is. So are all the other guys in the fat-rapper cabal. This theory is true because it came from the Bible. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-biblical-theory-of-why-fat-rappers-should-stay-that-1682836701 |
