Brag City: Tyga Says He “Had It Easy Growing Up…Mom Drove A Range Rover” (Video)
Posted by Tanya TC under Hmmm? , Videos[23] Comments
Hmmmm? TMZ has obtained footage from 2008 that catches Tyga talking about his comfortable upbringing in the Valley…not Compton. The footage, which never aired, was from an MTV show called “Bustas” that pins wanna-be rappers against each other to play games that perpetuate ignorant stereotypes like “Guess the Rapper By His Grill” and “Is This a Real Rolex?” Before being signed to Young Money, Tyga appeared as a contestant on the show (that was later scrapped) and introduced himself as a young cat who grew up “not too tough” but “still street.”
Watch the eyebrow-raising clip after the jump…
Rap excerpt: “It’s T-Y-G-A, they say I’m not hood ’cause I stay in the valley. They said I never been in the alley. I tell them cats I been in the alley”
Miss Info: So Tyga was more Carlton Banks than Fresh Prince? Ehh, I don’t see what the big deal is….lord knows, hip hop has seen more than its share of “active imaginations” rappers. And those full neck, body, arm, hand tattoos were clear signs of someone overcompensating, lol. The kid’s first song was about limes and coconuts. That’s that Whole Foods swag.

All Truth comes to light. But did anyone of adult age really think Tyga was bangin’ like that? It’s the Young Money/Cash Money Motto…We buy into the Streets. No need to put in work.

I hope no one is suprised by this. I mean my introduction to Tyga was when he was chilling with travie mccoy in the music video for his song about cocktails.

Aint this cat get exposed a while back when a bunch of cats from the hood he supposedly reps put him on blast?
They were callin him out for being fake 3 years ago. Thats why when I saw him start gettin his buzz back I was hella surprised.
But in todays world, it really shouldn’t.
And Info- you had me looking crazy after I read the Whole Foods swag jab!

Thats one of the most accurate statements about YMCMB to date, Thats is their business motto! If theres one thing Birdman and Co know is the music business and how to properly sell a product(artist) and put it on the shelf for buy.

Very True…I heard they have taxed him quiet a bit.
