Rap Artiste And Jewels Bling! Bling!!

"Murda F*&ker, you say I rap about Jewels, do u fools listen to music or just sheme through it......." Extract from Jay-Z(my Favourite artiste) first verse in his track Renegade Feat. Eminem.
Any wayz, the topic today is looking at "ICE", BLING! BLING!! jewels. Have they done more good than harm to Rap artiste?
In my opinon, I think that MODERATION should be the watch word here. Artiste like Nelly and Usher wear expensive jewels but the also can afford it because they have other businesses to support their ICE(keep 'em cold).
However, we've seen artiste that had to sell their when "owu" blow them. When i see artiste like Freaky ricky(a new group that just released their debut album last year), Jkwon and other ,little hommies try to be "hard" i just look,laugh and remember MA$E(thats gist for another day)

Holla back Y'all
