Do People Understand what a Hustler Is ?
« on: January 21, 2021, 11:19:25 PM »
This term was made famous By Jay Z in late 90s early 2000s on songs like Give It To Me -  Jay Z feat Pharell

Quote
I'm a hustler baby (I'm a hustler)
I just want you to know (Wanna let you know)
It ain't where I been (It ain't where I been)
But where I'm bout to go (Top of the world!)



Dirt of Your Shoulder -Jay Z

Quote
I'm like a young Marvin in his hey'
I'm a hustler, homie, you a customer crony
Got some dirt on my shoulder; could you brush it off for me?


So why are Odmers equating it the wrong way.

Oh my.. You think like Trump. Twisting the word hustler to fit your domain. A hustler lacks any morality - that's how a regular person understands it.

Hustler in Kenya context means someone  struggling to make ends meet.Dictionary or US meaning is irrelevant.To hustle therefore seen in positive light. You're either formally employed or hustling in kenya context

The song that made Lil Wayne, the mid 2000s anthem

Hustlers Music



Quote
I'm like, "What it do? What it do?"
There's a full court pressure, I'm just goin' for the two
If I'm open for the three, I'ma take it in a second
Even if there's one second, I'ma make it, it's nothin'
I don't take it for granted, I don't take it for nothin'
I take it for what it's worth to the dirt, motherfucker, yeah

[Chorus]
Baby, you gotta know that I'm just out here
Doin' what I gotta do for me and you, and we eatin'
So, tell me , why the f is you tripping?
I'm takin' these chances
My head to the sky, my feet on the ground
My fingers to the judge, if the money don't move
Then I won't budge, won't budge
No, I won't budge, no, Lord



Quote
See, it's a cold world, so homie, bundle up
We ain't on this grind for nothin', now get your hustle up

[Chorus]
Baby, you gotta know that I'm just out here
Doin' what I gotta do for me and you, and we eatin'
So, tell me , why the f is you tripping?
I'm takin' these chances
My head to the sky, my feet on the ground
My fingers to the judge, if the money don't move
Then I won't budge, won't budge
No, I won't budge, no, Lord

Great work No Way. I am adding these to my loops.

Lazy dynasties and their captured vassals, serfs; cannot keep up with the hustlers - philosophically, dedication, the passion name it. All I see them asking is why are you jealous of our lazy bums not knowing hustlers despise that entitlement shit and madharao?  They drop their names and they are worse off than a wheelbarrow sugarcane vendor.

Anthony B is apt- Dynasty only want to raid the barn cannot plant the corn!

As we proceed here is Mombasa own bred "Manigga wa Mashada" from Kizingo to Barsheba, Mwandoni to Mtopanga back in 90s they were a movement in Mombasa. They transformed to Ukoo fulani and did collabos with Mau Mau from Dandora and Kariobangi South. By late 2000s they were a household name.

Cannibal and Sharama - Street Hustler


Quote
Mi nahema hema hema na life inavyosonga
Milima na mabonde panda shuka tuko bomba
Elim kiwazim kichwani zinatugonga
Niko kwenye rim
Hustler tafuta unga
Yes I,
Kwenye conman street tafuta maslahi
Before sija-die
Oh my
When will I have my own Hyundai
Mjukuu wa Maasai


Quote
Nisemeje
Ntaonekana chizi
Nifanyeje
Oh my, na na
Nina-struggle na life
Looking for kitu fine
Nipatacho tu ni rhymes
Nina-struggle na life
Looking for kitu fine
Hopin it could be mine
Huo ni za viraka kizee
Nifanyeje
Mboga ni za kwa zima kizee
Nisemeje
Malazi ni ya makanja mazee
Nifanyeje
Kesho pia itafika mazee
Nifanyeje mie
