Transcripts
there are seven rappers I found who each
meet the criteria for one of the seven
deadly sins Pride greed wrath Envy lust
gluttony and sloth I'll start with what
is considered to be the original and
worst of the seven deadly sins pride
pride is defined as believing that one
is essentially better than others
failing to acknowledge the
accomplishments of others and excessive
admiration of the personal self the rap
ER who best matches this description of
pride is Drake Drake is no doubt one of
if not the most accomplished rapper of
all time but the thing is he doesn't shy
away from boasting about his
accomplishments a lot of his song lyrics
show this off constantly putting himself
on a pedestal another example of Drake's
pride is him hiding the fact that he had
a child with an ex adult film star
likely due to how it make him look to
the public in May 2017 TMZ reported that
ex adult film star Sophie bro claims she
was pregnant with Drake's baby and that
they weren't on good terms she claimed
to have messages with Drake supporting
the claim that he got her pregnant and
in those alleged messages Drake asked
for an abortion and claimed that she
only wanted the child so she could get
his money Drake's team discredited
Sophie's claims suggesting that she was
using the situation as a way of getting
into the United States it wasn't until
pusha's May 2018 diss track on Drake
that his hidden son would finally be
revealed to the world against his own
free will Drake has also shown the world
that he is not receptive to criticism
which is another sign of his pride in
September 2022 Drake privately sent
harsh messages to YouTuber Anthony
fantano seemingly due to the low ratings
he had been giving his recent albums
fantano made light of the situation by
not sharing the messages publicly but by
telling people that Drake kindly dm'd
him a vegan cookie recipe even though
this was an unbelievable story Drake
decided to take matters into his own
hands and post the actual bitter
messages that he sent to his own
Instagram story he used Fant ano's own
10-point rating scale to call his
existence a light one all because he
couldn't handle the criticism of
fantano's album reviews another person's
criticism Drake couldn't handle is Joe
Button Joe criticized Drake after the
release of his album for all the dogs
stating that he was rapping for the
children and needed to mature his music
to match his age Drake took his message
to heart and responded with an onslaught
of personal Jabs in short summary
calling Joe Buon a frustrated failure in
quitter who will not be remembered and
whose opinion should not be listened to
he ended the message by flexing his
private jet and using it to diminish
what Joe Buton has achieved Drake may be
a bit full of himself but at least he's
been consistent releasing music
frequently for years upon years the same
cannot be said for the rapper I chose to
represent the sin of sloth sloth is the
most difficult sin to Define and credit
as a sin since it refers to an
assortment of ideas but the most common
definition given to sloth is reluctance
to work or make an effort also known as
laziness a rapper Who's known for
fitting this description is Playboy
cardi cardi began his music career in
2011 and started attracting attention in
2015 with his singles broke boy and
fetty since then Cardi's dropped a
whopping three projects in an 8-year
time frame sure there are other rappers
who take long breaks in between projects
but they usually meet at least one of
these two justifications one being older
in their late 30s or 40s or two still
consistently dropping singles and
features while they work on their own
project cardi cannot use either of these
excuses since 2017 cardi has released
one single that wasn't for an album
before his two big 2023 features with
Travis Scott in the weekend cardi had
zero features done for all of 2022 and
only seven total from the two years
before that it's not only his music
releases were cardio sparse as he also
rarely posts anything online to social
media despite his lack of consistency
cardi has only grown more and more
successful over the years to the point
now where he's one of the biggest names
in rap the next rapper I chose cannot
relate to this but wants to be just
Sardi and that's why his sin is Envy to
Envy is to desire to have a quality
possession or other desirable attribute
belonging to someone else an extreme
example of Envy is actually wanting to
be someone else Mario Judah is a rapper
who took Envy to this EXT stream
basically becoming a clone of Playboy
cardi before Mario was even an artist he
was a big fan of cardi I was doing this
before I was an artist like I was one of
the fans in his comment section like bro
please drop whole out of red like like
Bros fire like he's a rock star too you
know what I'm saying in 2020 he like
many others were growing impatient with
cardi for not dropping his album titled
hot of red Mario decided to take matters
into his own hands and threatened to
release hot of red for cardi if he
didn't drop it before December 6th 2020
once that day came around and cardi
hadn't dropped Mario Judah released a
single titled B ya where he did his best
cardi impersonation mimicking his
typical baby voice Cadence and
[Music]
flows after the release of this song
Mario Judah announced that it was only
track two of his own own entire whole
lot of red project that was on the way
on December 8th 2020 Mario Judah once
again threatened cardi this time saying
that he would drop his own version of
whole lot of red if cardi didn't drop
his album by December 11th I'm going do
what I can to try and get him to drop if
I try to alert him and threat him with a
song maybe he'll hurry up and drop
apparently it's not working he's not
dropping and all the fans are upset and
now they're expecting me to keep going
you know what I'm saying so at this
point it's like if he not going and drop
I'm going to take the responsib ility
and give the world a whole lot of red
cardi of course did not oblige and Mario
Judah proceeded to drop an EP titled
whole lot of red shortly after midnight
on December 12th 2020 the three new
songs on the EP were just like the
previous song he'd released showing him
copying everything about Playboy Cy
sound the worst part is that after cardi
finally released his album whole lot of
red on Christmas 2020 Mario Judah
responded with hatred as if the version
he had dropped was better than card's
cardi I didn't do all this just for you
to give us trash bro you're not bro I'm
you're not worthy of me bro the cardi
imitation songs Mario Judah made were
extremely successful all being his most
view tracks but it ruined his reputation
as an artist trying to capitalize off of
someone else's style it did greatly
boost his following and notoriety so I
think it's safe to say he overall gained
from this situation someone else who
gained from a situation is the rapper I
selected to represent the sin gluttony
gluttony is the overindulgence and over
consumption of anything to the point of
waste the rapper lucky unfortunately
meets the criteria for gluttony we get
how we get back lucky is a rapper from
Chicago who began his music career in
late 2012 looking at pictures of him
early on in his career you can see that
he had a skinny bodybuild look at
pictures of him now and it's quite the
opposite but what was it that caused
luy's continual gain of weight well it
actually all started after he stopped
doing the drug Xanax lucky was a
frequent user of Xanax to the point
where he took 10 pills in a single day
but in 2016 he chilled on the xans and
found another drug that would change his
life forever it was around this time
when lucky first began drinking lean
lean is a recreational drug beverage
prepared by mixing prescription strength
cough syrup containing Codine and
perazine with a soft drink drinking it
in prescribed quantities is safe but one
of the potential side effects of over
consumption is weight gain due to not
only the extremely high amounts of sugar
in the sodas but also the cough syrup
that causes constipation and inflation
of your liver and intestines the
bloating that lean causes is referred to
as a lean gut which is similar to that
of a beer belly lucky first started
showing signs of his lean gut in 2019
and it's only gotten worse and worse
every year since lucky said he wished
the weight gain on himself for wanting
to gain weight back when he was skinny
the first or only [Β __Β ] who Embrace
gaining weight I really it's really like
a like a little Karma thing not Karma
but I I wish this on myself cuz I used
to want to be like s and Gucci man and I
was skinny as hell trying to get a
little Pudge then I like I got it but I
stopped caring about having it you feel
me I wish this on myself sto growing now
his lean addiction is so bad that he
doesn't even like thinking about how
much it's cost him how much you think
you spent on I don't like thinking about
that yeah what's the what's the most you
pay for a
p I won't see if you hiding the root of
his addiction actually stemmed from from
his listening of Lil Wayne a rapper who
frequently glorifies lean in his music I
always wanted to drink lean though cuz
of Lil Wayne though I was real
impressionable kid you know I was like
super impressionable so I always wanted
to drink lean then when I start getting
older it just fit now lucky himself is
the one frequently glorifying lean in
his music potentially negatively
influencing other listeners another
person negatively influencing their
listeners is the rapper I have
representing the sin of lust lust is
defined as Intense or unrestrained
sexual craving I couldn't think of a
better fit for this description than the
rapper sexy red sexy red is a recent
success story in the rap scene blowing
up from her rather Unholy
lyrics booty Brown Wikipedia's
description of sexy red says her Public
Image lyrics and media presence have
been described as brazenly sexual and
boisterous she herself describes her
music as bad and r it her stage name
sexy red was adapted from her nickname
red because of her red dyed hair and
then her aim for sex appeal since
embarking on a music career listening to
her songs makes this clear as this about
every single one is full of lyrics about
or completely based around the theme of
sex the same can be said for her music
videos and live performances as well
which basically center around her
showing her body off and shaking her
rear end her lustful activities expand
beyond the public eye as she's had
multiple intimate videos of herself with
men leak online sexy Red's reputation is
not the best as many call her a bad
influence but what she's doing is
causing her career to take off and
making her a lot of money in the process
someone who knows a lot about money is
the rapper I selected for the sin of
greed greed is the excessive desire for
material possessions and wealth I
decided to go with Travis Scott for this
sin because he's Infamous for taking
countless high-paying endorsement deals
in 2011 before Travis had any buzz in
the rap scene he made one of his
earliest greedy decisions he dropped out
of college without telling his parents
but his parents were sending him money
to help with his college expenses they
were sending him money for food rent and
school Necessities every two weeks
Travis used this money on flights Studio
sessions gas clothes and anything to
continue his rapper lifestyle it wasn't
until his family came to visit him at
his college that he would get caught as
they saw that he wasn't there anymore
after his parents found out that he'd
been using the money they were get him
for non-ore related purposes they
stopped talking to each other for a
while yeah how'd that conversation go
like once you found out that you were
taking enough money and spending it on
all this other stuff man she was just
like what
the you crazy wasting my money just
crazy just like going ballistic man like
she didn't talked to me for like a good
three months Travis actually Justified
his actions saying that it led him to
the success that he has now to me I felt
like it was right just cuz like I knew
what I was doing with the money it
wasn't like I was going out buying drugs
I was going well was going out like you
know harming myself and going out
spending in on like stupid stuff I was
spending in on like things that was
going to get me to like the level of
just where I'm at now one day in 2012
after returning from work on Kanye
West's Cruel Summer album Travis forgot
everything in his hotel including his
luggage and his MacBook instead of going
out and purchasing a new computer he
decided to leech off his friend Tony and
used his constantly until he proclaimed
it as his own one day in mid 2013 Tony
went to to grab his MacBook and Travis
didn't allow him he snagged the computer
out of Tony's hands and a fight almost
broke out Travis then left with the
MacBook in his hands and Tony flew home
to Houston he says that they haven't
talked since in June of 2013 Travis
signed his first ever endorsement deal
with reok and since then has
collaborated with Nike Dior McDonald's
fortnite Netflix a24 and iser Bush
Reese's Puffs PlayStation NBA 2K Hot
Wheels connected cannabis B trill vetto
and helmet Lang in 2019 Travis performed
for the Super Bowl 53 halftime show Even
though several other musicians turned
down offers due to their support for
Colin Kaepernick after his national
anthem protests against police brutality
Travis was criticized for accepting the
invitation but the exposure he gained
caused his performance fee to double
from $500,000 to a million dollar after
the event took place Travis's continual
pursuit of wealth is why he's currently
worth an estimated $90 million which is
about 90 million more than the rapper I
have representing the sin wrath wrath

inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of
hatred and anger no rapper fits this
description better than Space Ghost
