Trinidad James was tapped as the performer for Converse’s Rubber Tracks event tonight in NYC. The Atlanta rapper has always been vocal about his love for kicks and his disdain for “hypebeasts” (Yeah, he know about ya…don’t buy shoes unless they popular!), and mid-performance, began what people are calling a “meltdown” by explaining how kicks are everything he lives for. He then went on to say that ATL is basically running New York. “I’m not trying to starting nothing,” he began. “But we run y’all.” Um, not the greatest thing to say on stage in the city that you’re dissing. Naturally, people are up in arms.
Now on one hand, though I don’t want to admit it, the “All Gold Everything” rapper has a point. Atlanta artists do dominate radio, even in our region, and that’s undeniable. However, who the F#CK is Trinidad one-hit-wonder James to have any say? You have one hot song, fam. He knows he’s about to GET IT too, as he quickly took to Twitter following the show to issue a sort of buffer. Check out what he had to say in the gallery. Video footage coming soon from his rant!

“who is he to have any say?”
did Lord Jamar write this article? lmaooooooo.
Trinidad James speaks unfiltered truths on a New York stage as a rapper invited to that very stage in New York to perform multiple songs, and you’re questioning whether he has room to make these statements, it stands to reason that HE DOES.
it’s pitiful that people want to physically harm dude for telling the truth rather than acknowledge the fact that Trinidad couldn’t legitimately make ANY of those claims had they not been true.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or not,he’s takin shots for no reason..u see nobody goes out to LA n talks shit…cuz they know better..he just tryin to get people talkin,cuz his music sure aint doin it
