Rappers have been delving into the grandest of hustles to make sure their videos come out right and on time (just ask Rich Homie Quan). Like we do about this time, The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Videos Of The Week goes out of its way to recognize such hard workers. Actually, it’s no biggie. That’s what it was created for.
Wise men always said that there is always something you have to give up, if you want everything you want. In this week’s countdown, you’ll notice sacrifices being made as the motion pictures detail the stories. What would you part with to reach greatness? An up-and-coming artist showed us how he quit his job (and his cash flow) to be able to get to the studio like he needed to while and another appears to have separated with reality in a Bryan de Palma daymare.
T.I. is always making sacrifices to keep his family hustle strong and his influence has rubbed off over the years to help other MCs to do the exact the same thing.
It’s never too late to right and a wrong, either. (Just ask Detroit’s finest.) You’ll have to flip through the list to see exactly who we’re referring to but trust you won’t be disappointed.
El Wrap Up begins now.
