  • Slim Jesus still secures the spot as one of the most highest viewed interviews on ‪@vladtv‬ channel. Why is this? Well its because he was so controversial at the time he came out in 2014-2015. At this time, it wasn't as common as it is today for rappers to get famous off falsely repping a fake persona. Rappers like Tekashi 69, CJ, and Lil Mabu - have sorta made it norm to go viral for repping territories that aren't their's. In this video, we'll talk about the OG in this space, Slim Jesus, who ruined his career when the honesty came out.

      It's true but only because they are all fake and if they actually did that stuff once getting somewhere in the industry they can't do anything they use to it's all in the contracts basically what they can and can't do so label execs don't want their property out commiting crimes but they definitely love them to promote it in the music

      Y’all keep thinking every street rapper is fake. The only people who truly believe that are fans who don’t know street politics. Even if the rapper is fake the street politics are real. The people these “ fake” rappers have to deal with are real. To succeed in that lane of hip hop you must be in some kinda way connected to the streets. Slim Jesus was about to be lunch and he knew it. He didn’t have enough street ties to continue that image world wide

      Perhaps but it’s irrelevant, because neither are gangster. Assuming all of us agree on the definitions of being a gangster in the first place, fairly certain we can all agree exploiting a violent lifestyle which ruins millions of lives all the time in order to prop yourself up as a rising talent and make money off it is not ever going to sit well with people from the actual lifestyle you rap about. So by admitting you don’t give it up how you claim in your raps, that’s not “gangster” it’s merely an admission that he’s willfully mocking the audience he needs as fans by talking about shit from their daily lives as though he’s experiencing it too. Sure many rappers do similar shit, so do many entertainers period. But thats never an excuse and it does not mean dude shouldn’t be called out. He should, and so should everyone like him.

    I don’t think the Vlad interview ruined his career. In fact, I think it actually helped it. In the aftermath of that interview, he just continued to blow up and become even more of a meme. The real reason why he fell off is because he just stopped making music, so everyone forgot about him.
    If he continued to make music, he wouldn’t have been as big as he was during his peak, but he probably would’ve had maintained a consistent viewership.
    If he didn’t admit to being an act, I think that would’ve been even worse for his career as it could’ve been quite dangerous and he could’ve had the same fate as the Island Boys, or even worse, 6IX9INE. But after the Vlad interview, I think people realized that he was just messing around and basically a meme rapper that you shouldn’t take seriously, making him more comparable to Lil Mabu these days.

    Slim walked so *a lot* of these rappers could run! In regards to being fake and getting far with it, 69 and CJ are the first to come to mind. But also for rappers to be honest about not being certain things, like Rick Ross admitting to be a CO. Or like other rappers that came out and basically said “everything I rap about, I don’t do! I just rap about it! All these substances I rap about enjoying; not taking _any_ of them!” And people still continued to listen, enjoy and sadly follow their bad influence via music. So Slim genuinely deserves more credit - he changed the game!

      Exactly! I listen to all types of music but my favorite is punk rock and heavy metal. People that listen to heavy metal don't think that the bands they listen to "Shout at the Devil" or ride the "Highway to Hell" literally, they know it's just a song and not a description of their lifestyle. I Love NWA, but they changed the face of rap music forever. Rap became Gangsta Rap, and now you can't find one artist or group that doesn't follow that narrative. Remember when RUN DMC rapped about going to college? The only group I can think of that didn't rap about robbing and killing after gangsta rap became the dominant narrative is A Tribe Called Quest. I respect the kid for coming out and saying he's not really a killer. I wish more rappers would abandon this ignorant shit. There's a million other things you could rap about, issues that affect the black community. Rap could be used to inspire young listeners to stand up and make positive changes, to be active and make their lives better. To me, rap music nowadays is the most depressing thing I see. Maybe some day it will get better, till then I'll stick with my Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

    The reason why I respect Slim Jesus and why I disagree with the video title, "How Slim Jesus Ruined His Career in 1 Interview" is because he WAS HONEST enough in that he had the courage to be TRUTHFUL in that interview and save himself from pretending to be rich and dangerous whilst disguising TOXIC financial problems (like 95% of all rappers right now)
    So your telling me he WOULDN'T RUIN his career if he went on to CONTINUE 'The Lie of Portraying A Gangsta?".
    Being a rapper is the worst hollywood role of all time, you have to bark louder if you go broke and drain your finances because you have to holster up an image, as all your fans only like you because your favourite rapper has the 'American Dream' you clearly don't...
    I respect the fact he saved himself from becoming a 69, and CJ , Or other rapper/hollywood celeb. Who'd end up struggling to hold up the image of their wealth and street cred behind painting a fake image. It's a toxic cycle

    I think it's sad that rap fans demand "authenticity". So you get rappers saying things like "oh I'm from the hood and I knew gangsters and people that have been shot."
    They can't say that it's just entertainment and they can't snitch on themselves so they have to find this bullshit middle ground.
    He hasn't released tracks in the past 2 years. After taking a look at his channel drill time got over 60 million views, his follow up got 7 mil, then 2 mil and then
    2 vids with around 620k views each. If he continued he'd probably get at least 400k per video which should be enough to make money.
    In his follow up to drill time he still had the fake gun but the lyrics felt dialed down. I think this was a mistake he definitely should've
    leaned into the persona more especially since he was so transparent about it being just entertainment.
