Middle-aged white guys buy snazzy sports cars and flaunt them as if they’re chrome, fuel-injected, super-charged effigies of their now flaccid cocks. Rappers, on the other hand, buy gaudy medallions attached to equally gaudy links and rock them as if they’re platinum-and-gold-plated, diamond-encrusted effigies of their now flaccid cocks. So you can imagine how emasculated your favorite rapper feels when another rapper, or local stick-up kid, comes along, takes their shine, and leaks a picture or youtube video. It’s like they’re holding their penises (¡NH!) fully exposed for the world to see! Ay Carumba! In any case, the latest incident of manhood snatching befell poor widdle Yung Berg while the diddy-bopper cruised the mean streets of Detroit (what he was doing wearing jewelry in the D, we don’t know either). Needless to say, Berg is probably somewhere licking his wounds. But cheer up, lil’ buddy! You just entered a club whose members include hip hop’s elite.
To boost Berg’s gloomy disposition, Complex combed the annals (ayo!) of hip hop history (along with rumors and allegations as well) to compile an authoritative list of the most notorious chain snatchings ever. To be fair to the victims and the vickers, we rated each incident by how emasculating it was to their careers, as well as the probability that the snatching actually happened (since almost none of the incidents can be verified by police reports) . If you don’t read this blog, you’re just robbing

IDK whats so emasculating about being robbed? How does that lower your street cred? People get robbed everyday. Thats a bad thing. Why are we glorifying people who steal from hardworking people?

Come on black people, we got to get it together

It depends on how you were living before and after.

BEFORE:
If you acted like you couldn't get robbed, like you were too above it, your rep was too strong, etc., and/or you were wreckless in your habits (hanging in hoods, clubs, etc. you shouldn't have)

AFTER:
Lying about it, and not 'fessing up right away to getting taxed.

Those are grounds for getting clowned.

B/C most of the times rappers build themselves up to be larger than life so when they get robbed i believe they feel it humanizes them in the general public's eyes. I say don't buy the chain if you aint ready for the territory it comes with. If you spend 100,000 on a chain it's like walking around with a big bullseye on your chest.
