Holdin' Down The Culture
Billie Eilish caught a lot of backlash from the public after her comments during a Vogue interview where the Pop singer basically called out many rappers for being CB4 (i.e., frauds perpetrating a persona they don’t actually live in “real” life). Eilish stated,
“Just because the story isn’t real doesn’t mean it can’t be important…There’s a difference between lying in a song and writing a story. There are tons of songs where people are just lying. There’s a lot of that in rap right now, from people that I know who rap. It’s like, ‘I got my AK-47, and I’m f*ckin’,’ and I’m like, what? You don’t have a gun. ‘And all my b*tches…’ I’m like, which b*tches? That’s posturing, and that’s not what I’m doing.”

Notwithstanding all of the criticism leveled at her (with some of it being justified) Eilish just received a solid co-sign from bonafide Gangsta Rapper X-Raided. The Sac-Town veteran did a prison stretch for nearly 26.5 years due to his involvement in Street Life and agrees there’s too much CB4 going on.
X-Raided captioned his post by stating,

“@billieeilish catching heat for saying there’s a difference between writing a story to make a point and just plain ol’ lying in a song. #billieeilish specifically talking about rappers with their kilos and ho*s and guns. Same fools mad got fake money, fake dope, fake jewelry, fake guns, girls they don’t know and cars they don’t own in the latest video they shot at an airbnb. 🤣 FOH with that ♉️💩🤥”
