    I can hear my grandmother now, IF you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing AT ALL.

    As someone mentioned, all these ‘The Truth’ end the SAME.

    Ha ha ha ha @ the 3:21 mark of this video. The best part.

  2. Johnny Walker says:

    Long answer, no.

  3. Ridalen says:

    Too early to tell. Stranger things have happened

  4. Capricorn Religion says:

    Who is that?…..

  5. Zagga says:

    This one & the Rihanna 777 tour is the only one’s YN has answered “yes” to

  6. DJ Game says:

    who? btw this is considered giving him attention.

  7. Catalyst says:

    His label isssss…. Brick Swquad! He’ll be Gucci’s new go to man. Lol…

  8. Dee Phunk says:

    As my homie BosNaud said, let’s not get crazy…he performed at THE THEATER at Madison Square Garden. Don’t make it sound like he touched MSG proper lol.

  9. Keyf says:

    for future reference, if you dont have time to watch “the verdict” it always ends with “i think so”

  10. dave says:

    i agree with Ridalen its too early to say.i remember saying the same shit with Future after he dropped tony montana.and when drake aint show up for the video.i was like this nigga whack he gonna be gone just like YC.but then his songs started getting better and i actually semi enjoy his music.he even killed that new rhianna song.but anyways cant really kust people ob they first song.because they could be a Cashout or they might be the next whatever

  11. Devante says:

    There’s so reason to debate this… NO
    This guy is just a couple months away from be a forgotten memory..

  12. Santa says:

    I’ve heard his whole tape and I really like it. Stop hatin

  13. Devante says:

    @Dave has a point I thought Future was terrible after a while I’ve grown to like his hooks and a few of his songs

  14. Anon says:

    As long as his new material doesn’t sound like the “turn up” track he made with mike will. That shit is terrible.

  15. Kenny's Dominos says:

    We all gave Waka, Soulja Boy, Future, and French Montana attention so why not him?

  16. MHarstad says:

    No matter what, he sides with the artist. Should lil Wayne retire? “I say no”..is Nikki losing her appeal? ” I say no”..then he goes and says Drake’s r&b album SHOULD get the Grammy for best RAP album..

  17. Trillionaire says:

    dis nigga is a horrible rapper. period. I don’t care what he is talking about.

  18. FTW says:

    Fuck this one tooth coontastic nigga. i swear when i see him I punching him in his fucking face. A grown man pushing a gold shopping cart down the street deserves to get stole on. Fuck this lame nigga real talk. Best video of the year? Elliott, with all due respect you’re a fucking idiot for that shit.

    That shit has 2 million views because white people are sending to each other laughing like shit at black people. Fucking idiots.

    FTW

  19. PEEP says:

    “Cashin Out” is your answer to that question Yellow Dude.

  20. freshsidenyc says:

    @ Anon co-sign! as long as he stay away from Mike Will, I think he’ll have some type of a chance.

    Swaps Cash Out for Trinidad James

  21. n.e says:

    every guy follows the Black Man
    every girl follows the White Women

  22. bull says:

    too early to tell, even trinidad himself said we have give him time to develope into something to see if we can take him seriously. we already have a 2 chainz, but look how long it took him to get noticed ( about 10 years )

  23. Unknown says:

    No. HELL NO. This is what rap has come to. It’s a disgrace.

    Dude say two catchy lines:

    1. NiggaNiggaNigga
    2. popped a Molly im sweating, WOOOOO

    NOW everyone is saying it and he’s becoming famous cause of it. Shit, I only heard the song ONCE, and I catch myself saying it every now and then. What type of shitty hip hop listeners did WE become?

  24. seemoregan says:

    1:56 – 2:00 is the funniest part of the video.

    I love the Truth videos but not for his opinion, I like laughing at how this clown talks.

  25. the brain trust says:

    Elliot Wilson is a joke & a perpetual dickrider. Man up & say something meaningful or controversial for once in your life.

  26. veesky says:

    I think he needs to do a Truth episode on whether or not all these rappers doing reality shows are hurting or helping their careers, real talk…I understand he wants to touch on certain polarizing topics and I think that’s an easy one that’s been overlooked

  27. CaliSteppin says:

    I swear I never heard of this dude till like 2 weeks ago when all the rap sites were posting his stuff. I heard his music dude is garbage and will be forgotten in 3 months

  28. Wallace says:

    Rapping about molly and partying???….umm isn’t Danny Brown more impressive on those subjects

  29. KAYANDGEE says:

    i like that jam, they played it in the club last time and the place went crazy, i like that hiphop got space for everyone

  30. County Of Kings says:

    i understand every arguement as to why we should not pay attention to him.
    but when somebody white is ignorant, air headed and stupid. (jersey shore, kardashians, honey boo boo) america embraces them, they get filthy rich and go off in the sunset, once less person on welfare.
    so if its good for them, its good for us right???
    we have to have the sense to know that this is foolishness and that we shouldnt follow that lead, like white ppl do. they see other whites being ignorant for some money, they dont follow, they go on and become successful. we can watch it, we dont have to be it.

  31. king blue says:

    that nigga hella weird

  32. mshann718 says:

    Elliot Wilson you’re a dick rider. I cannot believe you co-signed his wack ass. I thought highly of you.

  33. 1sife says:

    Before I saw this video, I knew he was gonna say that.
    I dont think on any of these videos he ever had a negative verdict.
    Cant blame him. He’s optimistic about Hip Hop.
    I just hope we get out this Ja Rule era we’re in…

  34. Timmy says:

    I enjoy this “The Truth” series but it’s getting a bit predictable. You always answer in the most conservative “What would a backpacker say?” type of way. Sometimes I wish you would keep it 100 and say how you really feel. Even if it meant not being politically correct.

  35. D Twice says:

    Yeah I was gonna say it but it seems like enough ppl already did. Elliott Wilson I take time out of my day to listen to your little segment and all you do is say some ol’bullshit. And I know you read these comments so maybe your plan is to just piss us off. Congrats you succeeded. Just another talking head in a world full of Yes Men.

  36. DJ Semtex's Prothsetic says:

    i find this hilarious because i literally just heard about this guy loike a cple days ago, hes got a gr8 voice tho just if he could focus his concepts in music a little more he could be like the new slick rick lol

  37. deez says:

    no he opened up one single show and blew up that very same show, and its one fucking decent anthem…

  38. deez says:

    he shot the video for this shit after his first performance…LOL

  39. abrooklyn says:

    hell no. This nigga is the most annoying rapper ever. Send this nigga his papers and let him GO!

  40. GTFO says:

    That mixtape been out for a while. After the video, it blew up. The whole mixtape i actually good. And he’s actually telling some good stories, not just talking about molly.

    The fact that he didn’t run and sign to a major shows he’s trying to grow. Unlike YC and Cashing out, once they signed they made no more effort.

    Y’all need to stop hating.

  41. WTF says:

    Really?
    Romey Rome?

    Dont get me wrong the song and the vid is hilarious

    Talented? ehhhhhh no

  42. _R says:

    blog trolls exactly what’s wrong with the game,,, how are yall waiting for elliott wilson to give a negative opinion on some shit,,,? you hate him so much but come to the site he primarily owns to talk shit when there are at least 2 million other hip hop blogs you could talk shit on,,, same niggas sayin hip hop is dead and blah blah wont lift a finger to buy some shit the same people thats killing it

  43. HK says:

    @Keyf Hilarious but sorta true

    @WTF LMAO at ‘Romey Rome’

    But I fx with Trinidad. Enjoyed the mixtape and his shtick is entertaining #pause. Don’t over think it. It’s just party/swag music.

  44. Marko-V says:

    Costume? Lol so successful rappers nowadays have to have a costume to show the people? And how can a truth be followed with opinion?

  45. MrSkeezyMak says:

    Never heard of this fucker, or this song until now. Sucks.

  46. Del says:

    none of these halfass rap niggaz (especially this guy) deserve my attention, not even a free download

  47. The Other P says:

    Watch the Breakfast Club interview with TJames, I have a whole new respect based off that interview. If he plays his cards right, he’ll be around for awhile.

  48. The Truth says:

    I like this nigga. I don’t want to listen to his record though. Or watch his video really. I respect that he is original and doing his thing his way.

    Rap these days is more about your iconography. Your image. Your brand. And he has a unique brand.

    Will I be listening to Trinidad James. Hell naw. But there is enough room in the rap game for all kinds.
