The answer to the title is Yes, people from LA will never admit it or find an excuse but the answer is yes.

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

"Find an excuse" is an interesting choice of words lol. You must be a transplant. In that case, just stay north of the 10 freeway and stay out the way. The truth is, Hollywood and the music industry love the gangster sh## in LA, as long as they can control it and market it to the tune of billions of dollars. It's when it gets outside of industry control (ie the Suge Knight types, the unsanctioned "check in" stuff) that it only then, becomes a problem.

[@BuckheadsFinest]

I love the father and son aspect of this whole thing.

[@finnessejets4231]

You think he might be jealous of his son to a certain degree? Cuz the son rich and the dad aint?

[@Rizzlyricist]

Gang relations hurt hip-hop a lot. Sure, they bring dirty money into the game. But it kills the art.

[@YSuniverse856]

Hip Hop started off on dirty money and poverty

[@gregparler9696]

😅

[@thelastdon9000]

Its.funny cause.the foundation of hip hop is gang culture.

[@user-id9dr2kk8z]

🎯🎯 it fuvked up the business, made it another part of the ghetto instead of a stepping stone

[@eastwood1026]

No lol there’s always been gangs and cliques u can’t get mad at gangsta rap and there’s violence everywhere homie. U can’t blame one region for how u fuccin acting 😂 grow up

[@YSuniverse856]

Y’all the realest for this Hit Boy and Big Hit and Bag Fuel all my dawgs in one room hella inspirational

[@nathylsnipesakayipes7252]

Salute from your Winston-Salem, NC family 💯

[@maineovation85]

Hussle & Big Hit favor a lil. Good to see Hit & his OG gettin they run wit it!

[@thesungod2360]

NYC calm down a lot and thats a good thing,if you bragging about your city is dangerous relates to false prophet talk

[@thesungod2360]

@@kasheem1747 I don't give a flying F

[@calvinbrice.t2140]

I agree. We had to kinda chill with that

[@kingjae1498]

It does hurt....you know how many songs didn't happen because of politics?...you know how many shows didn't happen because of politics....honestly don't help much...being proud of where u from one thing but when it start messing with the bag it's a problem

[@RealDealy]

Everything "Esso" said about moving in L.A., is how I had to move in NYC back in the day, but you still gotta do that OUTSIDE of Manhattan When I moved frivolously, I saw robberies, shootings, killings, arrests, fightings, and coochie! It was fun, but dangerous, having a set plan keeps you active, and safe!

[@YSuniverse856]

Shout out to Winston Salem NC

[@jaymac8421]

Did he say the tax rate was 52% for the rich out in Cali? That’s getting robbed without a gun

[@EliteBlackSash]

That’s mostly federal tax and social security. CA State tax is only 14% for millionaires. It’s not the highest. - In Cali you have to make 153k to bring home 6 figures after federal and state tax. In Maryland you gotta make 154k. In Oregon you gotta make 156k. In Alaska and some of the southern states, you have to make 137k in order to bring home $100,000 after taxes. Cali pays way more than them states though. When I moved to Cali from the DMV, my same job paid quadruple. We just get taxed like hell, no matter where you live or whose the president, the only escape from it is to have employees. The tax system promotes getting married or contribute to the economy, because all the real tax breaks either come from filing married jointly, having children, or owning a business that employs people other than yourself

[@Styles.rp25]

That’s correct for the top tax bracket (400k+ a year), that same applies for NY state as well.

[@eastwood1026]

Taxes is the highest out here homie. It’s so bad we just use to it smh been dealing for years

[@NayanKeyz]

LA gang culture is imitated and watered down by commercialism in the industry. We need the opportunity to have the real voices of LA gang culture get heard and we will continue to make progress. Our murder rate in the 80/90s was higher than Chicago, now it’s low. We just the murder Capital for rappers 😂😳

[@reckless16100]

Is you dumb? You're sad because your state isn't the murder capital anymore...wake up you stupid motherfucker..we're killing ourselves

[@EliteBlackSash]

HipHop was created to end gang beef. Facts. The old gangs of New York got put to rest by HipHop. Nobody banging the old cut sleeve gang anymore. LA Gang culture being exported around the country undid the progress and changed the message from Peace Love Unity and Havin’ Fun.

[@eastwood1026]

On some real shit I partially blame Mack 10. He started putting niccas on bloods outta state not even from L.A. and the trend from hip hop started from there

[@JonathanMcDaniel44]

big Hit was in the tre(winston-salem, NC)

[@IAmTreDavis]

Gang culture has been a detriment to LA Hip Hop forever. Speaking as someone born and raised here.

[@reazallykhan8614]

[@finnessejets4231]

He wrong you can get robbed or chipped anywhere you go. Nd nigga how you know the culture out here and you from NY? LA nd NY politics is completely different. Im not going anywhere without checking my surroundings. I DONT trust anybody fan or not.

[@ray1411]

I love how yall talk todays NYC. Yes, todays NYC is Maybury. I give you that much. But, please dont act like it was dangerous to come to NYC until 2004. Yall can thank Juliani and gentrification for this Maybury NYC.

[@Righteousone18]

Gang culture in LA isn’t as bad as it used to be. Nothing beats NYC in the 80’s though. I read about it. They were doing cartel style deletions in those days. Especially in Brooklyn

[@blakpopepope2863]

Inland Empire's Finest Respect!!!

[@bboysmith]

Of course, people in LA wanna admit it. It also hurts black America.

[@RoscoSix]

It’s different because of the original of blood and Crips if

[@RoscoSix]

It’s different because it’s the original of the home of CRIPS and Bloods . If u had not had homies starting hood out of town and out of towners wood have claimed there own towns own color own ways . Talk there talk and walk . Not California style and u in ATL or North Carolina, Alabama, even New York. Texas.. take the Crip.and blood and Pirus out of there game and hell yes it wood CE or BE different. Stop playing that the biggest problem. It’s played wit and we created some of it behind Money. Out of town Balling. . Keep it 100 💯 the industry would be not what it is without the gangs . The rap world want it to Ce or be Callie at one point. And Soulja Boy, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Birdman, 21 Savage pop smoke rest in peace Lil Scrappy come on man we got robbed.. of our style. The color game change the game and you steal got drama. Y’all know what it do .

[@althrillatdk2665]

Big Hit got to stay at home man,this corny now...stay outta the way old man.
