I just do not understand (most) young black men.

Seems to me like they are being exploited for the sake of brotherhood.

Just saying
However, serious and purposely confrontational question: what the hell does this article have to do with you not being able to understand a race and generation that has nothing to do with you in the first place? Why the subtle jab in the form of a non-sensical and overly subtle generalization? I don't get it.
And of course a small portion of the might be pimps who are spending freely around impressionable young strippers to try and expand their stable.... nobody ever claimed all the strippers are bright!
In the lower class AA communities (not middle class, because middle class niggas act just like middle class whites for the most part) they display their success, their non-concern with money by making it rain, ie..."I have so much if this cash, IDGAF about wasting it, nigga I'm paid"
What's not to understand? Different classes same concept, I'm better than you because I can do this or that, live or play here 9r there, but you can't. I'm better.
Even in the most unknown regions of the USA, people play the exclusivicity game. The I'm better game.
Damn Bavarian, have you been living under a rock? T.I. is a well known rapper and actor from Atlanta. He's been around for over a decade. Again I agree with GACA.
Bavarian....you're kidding......right?

Ok, I'm off my soapbox now and will shut up about this topic going forward.
I still like you though Barvarian because you love Latinas like I do :-)
There was recently another discussion from the other perspective "What's up with the guys who tip $1 when others are making it rain" (fortunately, without the racial element):
https://www.tuscl.net/postread.php?PID=4…
I had never thought of a tipper as giving a performance to the club, rather just another guy taking his turn. From both discussions, it sounds like that is a thing, though.
They say that at night time its just big groups of young black guys throwing money at the stage. Sounds like the dancers are mostly just a prop.
Kind of like that in the Sunnyvale Brass Rail too, at nights. Not much throwing money, but the girls are just a symbol, so that groups of guys can go there and get drunk and silly and not be seen as gay.
I always prefer day time at our local strip clubs.

Seriously, all of you hairless apes are the same in my eyes. You're just a bunch of damn dirty apes. Squawk!
If it wasn't for the sexy female hairless apes that drink my vulture jizz the whole lot of you would be worthless. Squawk!
I like the banjo. I'm a bluegrass vulture. Squawk!
w.r.t. the rain-making:
"... below image (stack of $$$) is a promotional one the club posted .."
"... some 1,600 lovely ladies auditioned for stripper positions. It turns out, they might have a shot at further glory. The audition was filmed for T.I.’s reality show ...'
Makes me wonder if some (or a lot) of the extreme rain-making was cone on purpose by TI's people to sorta hype-up the event and for footage for his reality show?
@gammanu95 actually they are directly comparable, both are gaudy insecure displays of financial success, while you may argue that white own their watch luxury car and can recoup some money on resell, because one culture values money while the other values people is a minor and whimsical detail at best.
For myself as a 46 y/o PL I don't equate rain-making and buying a nice-watch as the same thing - taking a restaurant meal as an example:
one spends money to go and have a fancy meal - I equate rain-making to going to a restaurant - interacting w/ the staff - having the cook prepare an expensive meal - then throw the $200 for the meal up in the air - and leave w/o touching the meal - vs spending the $200 and eating the meal.
Money is a tool to be used to acquire our needs and wants - and although we all choose to spend our $$$ in different ways (vacations, fashion; etc); in no other instance that I can think off does one just throw their $$$ in the air w/o IMO getting anything for it - at least w/ all other expenditures one gets something out of it (although I'm sure there may be examples where this may not be the case but I can't really think of one off the top of my head).
I the am emotional aka perceived need is be met. Just like luxury cars are a perceived need.

Once I was in what I think was the building which would become Pink Diamonds. What I saw was a Transgender Bar, but with also black female hookers and a female hooker striper.
I suspect you will find places like that, maybe not naked on stage, but approaching you while dressed sexy.
Maybe Club Fantasy in Sacramento is Black?

"T. I . appeared in the movie "Ant Man" starring Michael Douglas and was filmed at Pinewood Studios just a 10 minute drive from my house and I never heard of him."
I never heard of him either and to me, Pinewood Studios is the famous British Studio where the James Bond movies were filmed.
They should be out there making it rain
:)
I agree one hundred percent bruh
Some of you are reaching.
Let's all just smoke some weed
My point is we came from 2 different worlds and we each had glimpses into the lives of the other, but "a swallow does not a summer make".
IMHO we label others as being racist far too quickly. I've never walked in this dude's shoes, nor he in mine. We may have been ignorant, but not necessarily racist.
As far as TI goes I always think of the Treasure Island casino first which was renamed to that. But I don't follow rap and wouldn't know a TI song if I heard it. But I DO know who he is at least.
When someone using some jargon socially that you don't understand, try urban dictionary.

T.I. is a southern rapper who used to be known T.I.P, which stands for "Ten Inch Playa". His rap alias was then changed to T.I. (obviously taking of the "P") because his advisors and producers were worried that his current rap alias would be confused with Q-tip, another rapper.

T.I. Aka Tip Harris(Clifford Joseph Harris Jr),rap name used to be "TIP" but changed it to T.I. so there was no confusion with him and Q-TIP. Member of PSC(Pimp Squad Click)owns his own label Grand Hustle, the most successful rapper and the best in my opinion, who agrees?
T.I. is from the dirty south.Atlanta,Georgia.
*Lookin' at the life through my rearview, all the problems I had
Could be seen alot clearer after time had passed
Known for livin' so fast, they wonder how he don't crash
With 220 on the dash, he constantly mashin'
(Why don't he slow down?) They be constantly askin'
But me in the fast lane is like metal and magnets
Now I ain't tryna say that it's the way of the masses
But it, so hard to change, I love this shit with a passion
Since me and Sigel cuttin' classes, showin' our ass
Shootin' out in broad day in the middle of traffic
I remember sellin' crack faster than I could bag it
A shame I ain't playin' with you shorty, I ain't braggin'
Me and Cap got life, some other folk got blasted
Had a partner OD'd and after this all happened
It's like the only thing that kept a pimp from cryin' and laughin'
And the Lord smiled on me at the end of the madness
I never thought that I'd make it this far rappin'
For introducin' the youth to what we now call trappin'
Considered now a classic, who'da imagined?
Me in Milano, gettin' models in next year's fashions
So nowadays, they can call me old fashioned
But it's way too much cash to see blue lights flashin'
So I guess the moral of this here class is
Life about who make it now not about who make it the fastest*

I read the Wiki article on TI and do feel a bit stupid. I don't think I'm totally oblivious to hip hop music. I probably recognized 90 percent of the names of the other rappers on the article, but I swear to God I've never heard of him. Flew under my radar somehow.
"I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman"
I dare say my point about the display of financial success was solid and the only thing to argue was TI noteriety :)
"... GT (Golden Time) has an unwritten rule, no black guys admitted. This causes a lot of grief for black guys which is understandable, there have been cases where they have got in but it's rare. Asians are ok for entry. They are also fussy about the white guys, if you appear slovenly you won't get in no matter what your skin colour is ..."
