Why the hell do rappers look so PISSED off in music videos when they are surrounded by money, cars, girls, etc

Question

I mean, sh*t, I've heard of "money doesn't bring happiness" but that's kinda pushing it. It's ridiculous. Especially when you consider they are rapping about how all of that stuff is susposed to make you feel so good about yourself.

I mean, you'd at least expect them to be enjoying themselves with all that "bling" yet they look so distraught.

Answer 1

Yo....bro, don't you know its hip and cool to be pissed. Well looked kinda pissed. That's y their face look so sour when they rap. They have to maintain the cool exterior to show that "Ya, I'm cool" attitude.

Answer 2

Rap n Hip Hop is more of an illusion bro. U feel that its there.. but it isn't. Gurls, Money n Cars ain't everythin. Mmmmm... may b these rappers always make a poor attempt to portray as Real Gangstaz in all their vidz :) Some ppl r really freakin funny. Its high time that they realised "Money isn't everythin... There's Visa n Master as well".

Answer 3

Because ignorant CEO's feel the "gangsta style" mixed with the girls, money, luxury is a great deal to market to the young audience. And the bad thing is they are marketing to the young kids. But a lot of artist have there own independent labels, which makes them in charge of everything, so they chose to market that way, because it is "commercial" But I like to see as. We as in people don't have to buy or listen to that ignorance. We have a lot of control when it comes to entertainers and what they market. There career is in are hands...so they have to act like they appeal to the public so we can buy there garbage. It's all a game and about money. So if looking mean is going to help them sale there product, then that's what there going to look like.

Hopefully this answered your question. Email if it didn't.

Answer 4

Well, maybe it's really true.....money doesn't buy these rappers their happiness...imagine being perpetually forced to come up with new dance videos and concepts. Kinda stressful for them, I guess. OR maybe rapping like pissed mad dogs actually sells coz rap fans are pissed people by nature too...maybe the rappers are just 'rapping' to their tune.

Answer 5

i saw one of those guys, with his real wife.... ha ha ha... i would be depressed too, going after the shooting back to that wreck, knowing that all your money, won't enable the plastic surgery, to safe you... from THAT!
ha ha, actually, imagine a rapper, with an enlightened smile, jumping and humping over green hills...butterflies, and sunflowers around, singing that, he is happy? Tele-Tubby-Rap?

Answer 6

because they no they are making an a$$ out of themselves. and the only reason they have girls hanging around is because they have money. rappers can not sing so they have to shut to music.

Answer 7

Most of the time they're rapping about the way they grew up, family members or just about how unfortunate some of the African American race are or was. (Their life stories)

Answer 8

those cars n women n houses dont belong to them, think about it. most artists r in debt up to their eyeballs for a few yrs bfore they get any where. besides i hate rap n the bruthas just make me laugh at them lol

Answer 9

because of profiling let me explain my car has a sound system with a gold kit sittin on 22in rims when i roll down the police pull me over treat me badly acuse me of selling drugs (i dj )and acuse my girl of bing a hooker and im white black people get it ten times worse

Answer 10

Because rap is dead, they all do CRUNK or some crap like that.

Tupac and Nas is rap. Lil Jon and Chamillionaire are jokes.
