In the history of rap, 94 percent of the rappers lied about their lifestyles and just to name a few- Biggie, Pac, Snoop, Dre. Jay Z, Nas, Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Future, Plies, 69, 2 Chainz 80 percent of the Wutang Clan, Onyx and many more... IT'S ENTERTAINMENT 😂

[@SueYunggg]

Smh so what? Rap is just art. What about all the studio gangsters from the 90s? Dr. Dre used to wear a blouse, but he's still a Rap legend. This "Reality Rap/Cap rap" era is something new, and only encourages street rappers to crash out and go to prison like Thug, Kodak and Youngboy.

[@AfroDevil]

Tell that to the "culture"

[@mattyballz]

Yea i agree and thats why i said i dont have much of a problem with it. I get creating a character, but the expose drama is also interesting

[@elijahbruno2814]

Difference is back then those studio gangsters were exposed as well as not that frequent. Dr. Dre is a legend but let's not act like Eazy E didn't call his ass out with "But Dre Day only make Eazy's payday". Real gangsters were far more prevalent in Rap back then. Suge Knight, Big L Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, UGK, Three Six Mafia, I could go on all day. Compared to them who's here now?

[@Hope-ht6ft]

Faking your image instead of being yourself is not a good thing to promote. It only contributes to the problem. That is why I don't agree with "so what".
