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.

[@scubasteve6175]

there's rappers really involved out there especially in the underground, but when they're actually locked into that shit it's rare they go mainstream. a lot of successful street rappers are either talking about their past, exaggerating, or lying like shit. it ain't all of em, but either way it's not like the average lil tecca fan gives a damn about the streets. 90% of kids don't grow up around the culture let alone respect it. it's goofy that glorifying it is so prevalent, but it's how it's been for some years man

[@Imjustbored2023]

Pooh Shiesty is a mainstream rapper who was really into that sh*t. He was so into it when he caught the case that he is currently in prison. They tried to use his juvenile record against him. I think the juvenile record was the case he caught when he was 11, which was a robbery, and another one was an assault when he was 13, than you got to thinking about most of our currently mainstream rappers having a criminal history. Lil baby, lil durk, etc.-even that weird nigga 42 dugg was doing time for robbery before fame. Fans care even if they don't. Von wouldn't have gotten as big as he did with all his mugshots since there were so many in jail. Videos of him fighting. the murder case beat, I think it two of them, one before fame and one during fame, etc., all that low-key helps him.
