Rapper Jim Jones argues that being a rapper today is more dangerous than being a soldier in Iraq.
Most rap enthusiasts agree that rap music went 10 toes up a long time ago. But Jones’s analogy between a rapper and a soldier at war didn’t sit well with on Iraq war veteran.
“Heard the comments you made about ‘being a rapper is harder than fighting a war in Iraq…’ You allowed to have your opinion without any facts nor truth to it, but as a Vet and hip hop fan, I found it extremely disrespectful and ignorant,” the vet wrote on Instagram.
The vet, who goes by the username @mramcore, said his unit fought in Iraq in 2004 and lost more Marines in two months than ‘rappers’ in the past three years.
He added: “Keep talking but there is no comparison!”
