Serious question.
You make all this money?
Have no overhead.
Son, put your mom a plane back to DR and take over the crib?
What are you waiting for?
She stood because you asked her too at 17, you at least 30 now, I think she can go now.
For me it has never been about putting myself above or taking shots at Ninja, just expressing my opinion, the same many have about what I've decided to disclose about my own personal life, I out it out there, you come correct, I'll accept it....I don't think I ever came at him wrecklessly, the worst thing I did was call him selfish, which is clear cut in that video....don't see how you guys think sharing different views in life on Internet forum is uplifting to how we feel in real life...never understood this concept... ::Kanyeshrug::
guess ya couldn't wait till i debut it huh?
editing came out cool, it was a favor for some lovely grad students that needed a subject to video short on,
i guess my legend preceded me because they hit me up at right here and i agreed, seeing as it was a good cause
and da continuation of someone's education.
what you see there is 100% real talk, no phoney gimmicks, no frontin, etc. im glad this video shines a light into my
dominican heritage NT likes to mangle, and my dear mom dukes, im da only person she's got and vice versa.
its sad to see k-steezy throwing shots at someone who basically shares da same hispanic immigrant background as he does
but yet thinks im some how "selfish"? lemme tell you something break it down for you real quick mr. columbian,
my mother been in this apartment since i was born in 1983 and at da time married to my father, i am their only child. they went thru a rough patch
and he split when i was 4 years old, ever since then my mother made sure since she was raising me by myself that i grow up to
be da best person i can be.
i couple of years later when i was 6 my father caught a fed case, and instead of my mother dropping that dude and finding someone else
(she had every right to since she was still young) she made sure i went to see my dad at least 3 times a month in a federal prison for 12 years,
because she ALWAYS wanted to make sure i knew who my dad was, learn from his mistakes from da streets, and gain wisdom from having a father
figure....
fast forward 11 years and my pop is scheduled to be released early from da feds because of good behavior, but because he was merely obtained residency
and not his citizenship, ICE was already processing his deportation papers, i cried a lil because in da back of my head i thought me and him would be able
to catchup on da years where he lost seeing me grow from a adolescent to a young man, and salvage da lost childhood i never had with my pops.
i was 17 when my pops finally came out da bing, he told my mother to follow him back to DR and leave to NYC. my mother considered it since she
missed my father and asked me "Edwin tu cres que te puede quedas solo aqui?" (you think you can stay here in NYC by yourself?) and instead of
being a *** hole and lying or thinking i could take on more then i could because of foolish pride i told her da truth "no mami no puedo, no se que voy haces
sin ti" (no ma i can't, i dunno what id do without you) so she told my father that she couldn't leave me behind just yet because i wasn't ready, so i could've
gotten my apt by myself years ago but i declined because A. even though i was already working and finishing up highschool, i can't cook, and frankly
i'd miss my moms dearly because i dont have brothers or sisters, so i would've been here lonely.
what my mom did is told me "edwin cuando tu tas ma viejo and tenga mas responsibilita estoy vas haces tuyo" (Edwin your older and you can handle
da extra responsibility this apt will be yours)
eventually my mom will go back to DR and once again re-unite with my pops, or at least to re-kindle what they had since they
have grown apart as da years gone by and i wanna give that to my moms.
like i said in previous thread, a cat like me knows exactly what i got going on for myself, i dont owe money, i dont have kids, i aint married, i have money just
chilling because as much money ya think i spend i got cake for rainy days, i got cake to eventually take out my jesus, i got cake to get da RIGHT car
i want, all while not having to sacrifice who i am, and what i wanna do in da process.
and k-steezy, for da record b, my mom always tells other elder hispanics about me and is so proud of me because i turned out smart, in school, working,
and da most proudest thing she says is "Edwin tu NUNCA te bebites un biberon regalao" (Edwin you NEVER drank a free baby bottle) there's a certain
amount of PRIDE of never living off da government. so you can talk "down" to me, but guess what duke? i never lived off da government, never begged
for anything, even spent a SINGLE food stamp, because my moms taught me da value of HARD WORK.
every piece of nike rubber, jordan stitch, mitchell and ness jersey, new era fitted was gotten with da sweat of my palms, so da next time you wanna talk
about selfish, think about EVERYTIME you asked your mother for a pair of kicks while she was taking government money to just keep da lights on
and put food on your plate. ite b?
hmph.
Honestly, he's right. I've seen a lot of your posts and you do come off as judgemental man. Maybe it's unintentional, idk. When you read some of your posts, they can be off putting. Combine that with what you contribute to the dress better thread (I don't frequent it, but I see context clues), I can see how people would form a negative opinion about you. You can be the complete opposite person in real life for all I care, but somehow that might get lost in translation from thought to message board. Idk.
Moms confirmed everything I already thought about Edwin, my dude is selfish beyond belief, she's obviously unhappy, but like any Hispanic mom, specially a Dominican one, she will let this fool run rampant ad not give him an ultimatum...she's the voice of reason telling dude everything we have told him here ad he still doesn't get it...whatever....you should be ashamed making videos, exploiting your living situation, knowing you make enough money to change it, son YOU make enough money to give your Moms a bigger space, she's obviously crammed up in that apt ad you are not making it better...whatever happen to children growing up an taking care of their parents.
You keep thinking you doing it big by not having debt and bragging about the money good, but obviously only concern with what makes you happy and not what will put a smile on mammas face, I take it you are an only child, so I'm I and I could never see myself putting the most important woman in my life through that struggle...at least not at this age, this behavior would be acceptable from a 20 years old, MAYBE.

I take it the more open you are about your personal life, the more conclusion that will be drawn I guess, anyone that frequents that thread can tell you I'm cool, always willing to help when i can, anyone that has written me a pm can tell you the same, anyone that has actually met me can tell you I'm not a condescending ahole and I'm actually the complete opposite....I'm just an open book, here and in real life, that can play out in a negative way or positive....I get it.

how about you respect his situation as you would want someone to respect your mothers situation.
you don't even know dude...but are being so judgemental.
This isn't condescending?
Man I realize the way some of you describe me couldn't be any more opposite of who I am in real life....
Of course.....
I'm sure you of all people are very objective about yourself.
Serious question.

You guys are way too invested in ninja's life.
