This is an image of a rapper that rose to fame a couple years ago and found himself facing almost 30 years in prison. His rapper name is Tekashi 69 and from these images shown below you can see how in this new generation its been prone for people in the music industry to “flex” and flaunt their cash and achievements. its a way of showing off to make you look better then others this is in with agreements to Bergers statements in episode three of “ways of seeing/ ways of hearing” Berger voiced that rich individuals used to purchase oil artistic creations to appeal to others and show how rich they are. Riches that can be reproduced in oil paint and obtained as though they claim everything with the canvas causing them to appear to be more extravagant. This is a common practice that still exist in the 21st century. due to the new social media age its more commonly seen now.There could be an argument that they are simply showing pride that they have accomplished something, which has lead them to acquire these riches. However, in this case, I would rather see them showing off their actual achievements as opposed to materialistic gains.
