Why post this? The lyrics are bad, the rapping itself isn't good, and to finish it off the rapper himself is a big time poser with a day job at a bigco.

Eh it's kitch at worse, it's a bit of history, maybe you had to be there, what's wrong with an artist being a poser, and are you trying to shame someone for having a "lowly" job?
If you were a Goldman Sachs employee rapping about dealing drugs, you'd be ridiculed and quite possibly end up shot.

Every year multiple rappers lose their lives over this stuff. Not a good thing, but indisputably a part of the culture.

Obviously nobody should shoot ytracker, but in the cultural context it's totally reasonable to make fun of him for being a corporate stooge.
