Why do rap musicians display such gaudy, ostentatious displays of wealth? I am aware that underground rappers might be more averse to this, and it is likely mostly mainstream rappers who do the gold chain, gold rims, and diamond grill getup. But if this is the case, why? These getups aren't even done with any discern for taste, they're tacky symbols designed purely to announce wealth. It's as if they expect this to bring them respect, but ironically they preemptively rebuttal the hatred which they respect in their own songs. This, of course, is all done for show, probably just to attract attention. They are drawn to these ridiculous, sad getups to the austerity of their own lives into an island of retreat, which the enticing things the rappers puts in their songs; things such as sex, drugs, money, and violence. All things specifically designed to attract the most suppressed desires of people, who take comfort in the idea of the gangster outside the law who simultaneously lives all the commodities they strive towards, and achieves all the things they want most in life, pretty much uniformly embodying the rags to riches irony of their manufactured, commodified images by record companies. Would it profitable for the rapper to rap about anything other than these ironies? No. They merely are merely pimping themselves out to get money, and the irony is that their whole message is admitted and contained on the very surface of thousands of mainstream rap songs which taunt our ears with their manufactured rebellion, blaring out of peoples windows on the street. What's worse is you hardly hear anyone playing anything different out of their car windows, because it is only rap fans who would be so stupid and shallow that they would taunt people with its sound.

People like visions of wealth and power. Even if it's fake as hell.
so, is there an actual purpose for this thread beyond you being a fag?
To quote kanye,
"Four hundred years later, we buyin' our own chains"
"You see it's broke nigga racism
That's that "Don't touch anything in the store"
And it's rich nigga racism
That's that "Come in, please buy more"
"What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain?
All you blacks want all the same things""

They are drawn to these ridiculous, sad getups from the austerity of their own lives into an island of retreat, into which the rappers put enticing things into their songs; things such as sex, drugs, money, and violence.
Better to be mocked than respected by fools.
