A lot of artists used to complain about unfair deals and beeing ripped off, etc. How can they spend that much money for cars? Do they earn so much?

yeah, when it's about money artists always complain..
because they want more more more....( mo'money = mo' bitches = mo'power ) It's never enough...
they use these 'unfair business deals stories' as an excuse...

And nowadays there are no poor ghetto sufferers anymore (well maybe in Africa.... ) looks at all those American 'gangster rappers' for example Almost none of them comes from a poor family. .
Puff daddy's parents were filty rich, Akons father is a world famous jazz artist...

And all these stories about ghetto life and suffering are fake...

Not too fancy, cause Bob sometimes complained when the BMW broke down.
His Range Rover was more reliable...
Rita learnt fron that and ordered a Benz (W 123) in the early 80s from a Munich based car dealer...

By the sweat of thy brow so shall thy drive a Lexus...

if jr reid was dat rich he would repress at least his own biggest hit "one blood" cause rite now people were interested in that 45 we got plenty orders on it but tune is out of press still. J.R records rite now no press nothing. so this man must have invest all money he have in that foolish car and the reason him do it is simple the man think da hip hop career will last forever so him try fit the new company him never realize dat ting will ova nex year and nobody of them will wanna have a jr reid on his record again. car is nice but it dont fit a ras ta image, rasta must have a car dat is from japan or asia ca only dem help africa in dis ya hour ras ta
