@ Shifty_UK

Why is it only "exploitation" when a white guy does it? What would you call it if a black guy owned liquor stores or payday loan establishments in the hood?

Besides, I don't even see how this is exploitation. Somebody please explain...

@KST2G
i just get the feeling hes exploiting the minds of blind rappers who are also in turn exploting the pain and suffering of americas black ghettos to make their money and play the gangster roll when they are not even real to themselves.

i dont know to me it just seems like another stupid attempt with an idea that is neither needed or probably wanted to get money from rappers who have more money than sense.

and to answer your question about the black man. id say hes helping people (payday loans) and giving them something they want (liquor).

a hip hop entrepenuer creating an exclusive charter jet service aimed at rap artists just seems like another idea from the 'people up top' to exploit these guys and get yet more money from them. the money they made in the first place from getting paid by these guys to glorify crime and killing within the black community.

With the cost of feul? Fuck no!

If a person really looks into it.... It would be cheaper to get your own damn plane. If he can afford to rent one 6 times this year. Then save that money and you can buy one next year.

Duh!

KST2G said:

LMAO @ payday loans "helping people" and people wanting liquor

@Shifty_UK
I see where you coming from and I respect your opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree with you.

I see no problem with this at all. If Rifkind wants to do this and cater to the people who can afford it then why not? If it was Jay doin this everyone would be like "he doin it big, that's what's up." I don't see the difference between this and someone starting an expensive ass clothing line or advertising shit to us that they know most of us can't afford.

@KST2G

thanks for the respect bud lol back at ya

but what you say last of all is part of the reason why i see this as exploitation and just a money maker.

its no secret that rappers when they get their hands on money (there is exceptions to the rule jay-z, puffy etc) blow it away on ridiculous things that are cleverly marketed into the 'gangsta persona' by those above to get back their money. its a vicious cycle.

anyways its time for me to hit the sack its late'ish here in London and i need to catch some sleep befeore i joint the rat race again tomorrow lol peace!

how convenient for these guys, i mean they get to corner the market and get paid....

then again u can't even blame this guys, their dealling with a new bread of rappers who only think to make money and spend...  its not their fault  these mf dont think past the lenth of their chains....

Jebron Lames said:

And how is this of use to anybody posting Allhiphop/The IC?

Like LT Brown said it would be cheaper to for niggas to get their own plane. All the established rappers already have private helicopters/planes:

Swizz Beatz
jay-z
luda
nelly
puff
kanye
wayne
50

so Im assuming this is marketed for the rappers who cant afford it/or can BARELY afford it to maintain their "image" in front of fans.

SMH
niggas stay losing

You're right. This is no exploitation.
Nobody forces rappers to use this Service.
We need to stop whining. Exploitation here
and there. It up to us to educate ourselves.
Of course the hood might be full of drugs
and liquor stores. But we are stupid to buy
the poison.

This is going to flop for one major Reason...welll two #1 Airlines are folding like crazy If Hooters couldn't do it, what makes him think he can, when they had a larger market. #2 Entertainers are virtually broke, especially musicians. If Naomi Campbell's ass and Snoop are taking commerical airlines, who does he think is going to take his airline? That G5 shit is just talk these entertainers are trying to save money. They would rather fly first class with American for $500 than pay $10k to rent a plane.

Shifty_UK :
"variety of celebrity clientele" it didn't say 'hiphop clientele'

I know what you're trying to say, but who are you to knock how someone choose to waste (spend) their money on, and who are you to knock someone's hustle. And why didn't you start this service, to get that dough. I mean all revolutions need money.

power to the people. off a pig. excuse me while I'll go to starbucks, when the revolution start hit me on my iphone, I might be busy.

I have no problem with you. Playing devil's advocate

Duh!

LOL! @ LTBROWN-In what parallel universe do you live in where it is cheaper to buy a plane than to charter one? After the initial investment of SEVEN FIGURES (this is a plane we're talking about), you have to pay for storage at an airport, staff, and fuel by the hundreds of gallons. Or at the very least, you have to pay a service a whole lot of money to handle all that for you. A round trip charter from New York to Los Angeles for a weekend costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $30k. Five or six of those trips cost $150k-$180k. Think you can buy a jet with that? See, when you start off a paragraph with "If a person really looks into it...", it implies that you have, and obviously you haven't. That's the only problem with free speach; it doesn't have to be based in reality or common sense.

I'm going to co-sign with KST2G and respectfully disagree with Shifty_UK. I understand where you are coming from, but I think you are missing some important points. Everyone in entertainment is NOT: a) Black or underpriveleged, b) a rapper, or c) broke. Entertainers make a lot of money, and Steve Rifkind has experience and success with building brands. Who's getting exploited?
