The Italian Rappers Banned From Performing | Gangsta Rap International - Italy

In this episode of ‘Gangsta Rap International’, host Chuckie travels to Italy to meet two of the country's biggest and most controversial rappers: Baby Gang & Rondodasosa.
Their connection to public disorder and constant run-ins with the police has made them public enemy number one. Despite this, their fanbase and notoriety have increased in equal measure, which has led to multi-platinum-selling records and sold-out international shows.
We met them just after they became the first two rappers to be banned from performing in multiple Italian cities.

the promotion of violence and crimes needs to stop, a lot of teenagers are growing trying to emulate these type of artists which also emulates rappers from the USA, France and UK. Like, u can tell the similarities even if u don’t listen to this type of music. I’m a 24yrs old Italian guy which grown on the hood aswell, listening to rap music since I was like 9 yrs old. I still live with my mother and I had a difficult childhood. I’ve never even thought about doing crimes to get money. This is not the reality of living in a hood in Italy. These are proclaiming themselves as drill artists, surrounded by bad ppl just because it makes them look real and cool to listeners. They fake bro.

[@lucaluca1780]

In my opinion, the sense with which street life has always been portrayed in music has been lost...the goal has always been social redemption and a better life perspective. With the new wave of trap (or perhaps already with Gangsta rap) there is a competition to see who can boast better about their situation of degradation, or even when it doesn't exist, they make it up, as seen in the video in question. Guys, let's be serious, it's enough to travel a bit to realize that San Siro is definitely not Compton or the outskirts of some Balkan city. Let's not joke around pretending to be Gangsters, it's not a boast to live on the street, it's a social situation that needs to be fought, not glorified if you have even a minimum of intelligence.

Io ho passato la mia infanzia a Chisinau Moldova 1991-2003 (degrado,angoli veramente paurosi,ogni tanto qualcuno si accoltellava mentre tornavo a casa,cani randagi che attaccavano in massa all’improvviso) tutto derivato dalla povertà.Quella vera! Vivo in Italia appunto dal 2004 ho avuto problemi con gli sbirri più volte,visto che mi facevo di eroina e altre cose. Quindi sì sono stato sotto attacco. Però questo del Rap per me è una pagliacciata totale.. Si inventano il Malessere per sembrare fighi.Poi per carità se lo vuoi lo attiri.Quindi non dico che è tutto falso. Però c’è possibilità di stare anche senza Paw paw io ho pistola,Sbirro merda! Purtroppo in Italia il degrado tra i ragazzi si vede a occhio nudo. Ma perché non hanno altri esempi potenti. E quindi vogliono imitare i Cribs e quelle cose lì. Io dico che è una strada he non porta da nessuna parte. Io ho visto la povertà,la droga,il malessere.Facevo anch’io il mafiosetto.Io come altri siamo stati costretti.Però poi basta..finisce lì.

[@alessandrocolavecchio4920]

Something like 30 years ago my mother founded with some friends a non-profit Italian school for strangers in the San Siro neighborhood. It was a violent and even poorer neighborhood at the time, but I feel like there was a different mentality in Milan, and probably all over Italy: people wanted to help, a lot of guys turned up to the school to teach strangers the Italian language, of course for free, and the school grew up rapidly. I've met a lot of people, from Northern Africa or Eastern Europe, that are grateful to my mother and all the people involved in the school, because teaching the language to people from other countries is the first step to create inclusion and integration. Now the school still exists, and it still has a lot of students, but very few other similar initiatives have been growing, and as I said mentality has changed: a lot of people tend to think that the poor are the only responsibles for their situation, and so they deserve to be there. This only increases the anger these people have towards richer people and the government. For me it's very sad to see so many people that have completely lost hope in the institutions, so much that they don't even protest for their rights anymore: they just live in opposition to the system, of course ignoring their duties. I feel like the only way to change this is by prevention, assuring assistance to whoever needs it and trying to really create inclusion in every city. If not, the situation is only going to get worse. ❤❤❤

This is enlightening, and the music is very good. I wonder though what happened to the Italian Gangs & Mafias? Where are the big bosses, the organized crime structures, & the systems that used to be put in place? I can ask the same question for everywhere from London to Chicago, but it feels even more potent for Italy. Mind you, I could be referencing a stereotype, “Italians have structured gangs.” But it’s crazy to think none of the mafia families or bosses are helping to order this. Or, maybe this is just the presentation & they are.

italien gangs are not what they used to be.. the high end mafia whitewashed their money kinda like how you see in godfather that they take their illigal drug money and put it into a bizz. like a casino and then suddenly your making 100x what you did on drugs just legally.. also they are getting out competted in america by mexico just cause mexicans cartel are that much closer to the us so its easier to enforce structure.. tldr. italian mafias has outgrown the drug market.

This is not the reality at all in Italy, UK, France, Europe, etc... Lecco, Milan, Lombardy, etc are one of the most developed areas in Europe and in the world. If you want to work here, you'll find something even if you have no experience, but it's not for pussies like these spoiled kids (nutella generation) who want things without making sacrifices, they only think of blaming others and the system, hard but honest work can be found and you won't die of hunger and you will live very well even if you don't have sports cars and designer clothes, etc. And I say that because I'm a foreigner and have honestly lived around here for more than a decade. Even more valid speech for those who have Italian/EU citizenship and can move freely in Europe and other large countries where work is found, you have to make sacrifices guys and stop complaining and expect everything from others. The RAP was born as a form of giving voice to a marginalized class "not by choice", there are infinite real themes you could talk about (motivation, love, honest work, self-determination, ostentation as a result of success in business or sport, etc.), but you have chosen to talk about things that exist only in your mind and they are causing problems because a lot of kids following you who are not yet able to understand things as they really are find in your lies, the easier answers for them their existential dilemmas. True Rap is what takes people away from crime instead of throwing them in. Finally, I must say that the police in Europe, and therefore also in Italy, are very humane and open to dialogue, contrary to what they pray for. When I see that guys in the parks playing like fake criminals with a joint and a few balls I just laugh at how ridiculous they are, honestly, I would like to see them in favelas in South America for a couple of days to really make them understand what it is the narcos... I'm sure if they survive, they would come back completely changed. Having said that, I love Rap, the real one, which gives voice to the oppressors, which motivates and I confess that the level of Italian technical production is today on par with the best in the world. Take care guys 👊

I know, work is a little harder to find over there, but that's not why these kids are going down the road to petty crime, as they claim in the video. They do it because they are not strong enough to face life, work, studies, etc. They wants easy things, without sacrifices, they are convinced that the important things are designer clothes, cars, parties, social networks, apparency, etc... I know a lot of people from the south of Italy who study and work, even though they are not rich, they live a dignified and very peaceful humble life in those parts. Trust that if it was near me in South America, in the case of the video in Lecco or Milano, the police would not have arrived to just monitor the situation calmly when they behaved like 8y children making noise at night with fireworks and disturbing the residents of those areas. A couple of heads made of air from AR-15 bullets and the funeral would be with the bar closed and nobody saw anything... Understand the difference? Too many liberty and rights and no duties... nuttela generation! Different speech for Eastern European countries, especially non-EU.

@@buntepapiere3825 A lot of people (expecially in north Italy) are still supporting Fascism in 2023, and for this reason there is lot of racism and discrimination in Italy. That’s a serious problem for all Moroccans, Tunisians, Algerians, but also for people like me, because I am from South Italy and people from North (not all, but a big part) call us “No workers, Mafiosi, underdeveloped” ext…this is a serious problem because we can join forces to live in a better place but our shitty mentality doesn’t allow us to do that.

The real mafia in Italy is in the south, like Naples, the rappers there don't talk and don't really show things

[@difi9553]

In the south they don't show such things, because there the money and the business really do and so they don't want to attract the attention of the police. The difference, unfortunately, is that in the neighbourhoods in the south (especially in certain historical periods) there are also a lot of dead people killed. Moreover, these 'MARANZA' in the south we put them selling handkerchiefs near the traffic lights. 😂

He now lives in Manhattan upper eastside. So it's just utter bullshit what these guys are trying to sell. Life might be hard?
