so wise

[@Imjustbored2023]

It's all about genre. drill, which is looked at as the realest form of gangster rap because most of these dudes have a criminal record, even Lil Durk. So to be in that space and to never do shit makes you look bad, especially in a genre made off dissing the dead. Lil teeca never made himself a drill rapper he was just rapping about random things cause he cant rap

There's a big difference between capping and being truthful about it, opposed to capping and pretending its the truth.

[@Meric-Meric]

Honestly it doesn't even matter if rappers lie as long as the music is good. like do you want your favorite rapper to really kill people or do hard drugs or something? Cause I want my favorite people to live happy and healthy lives so they don't die young or something

[@ricniks4619]

What's ironic is all the people who worship rappers like that end up dying from drugs ironically like Juice WRLD, Lil Peep Mac Miller, Ol' Dirty Bastard, etc. Which is why you have people like Eminem who almost went down that road telling people to be careful about drugs because while it may seem cool that rappers talk about it and some do it they can easily lose their lives if they aren't careful.
