Mark, you absolutely right...La Cosa Nostra is all Italian shit.
Killa Tay...I'm not talkin about rappers saying MOB SHIT, I'm talkin about rappers callin themselves GOTTI and LUCCIANO, and doing these fuckin Italian Mafia skits on their albums....If I ran around yellin "HOOVER CRIP" I'd be a fake ass bitch, cause that ain't my life. Or, what if my rapping name was TOOKIE or NEWTON? People would take offense to that shit, because I'm ITALIAN....so don't you think it should work both ways? No rappers should be fakin' it. I do know there is a Mafia in almost every race...but there's only one La Cosa Nostra, one Gotti, one Lucky, feel me?
The only rapper that did shit right in this fashion was 2Pac (R.I.P). He took on the name of an Italian War Strategist, that's all good, because Machiavelli's shit was a way of thinking and planning, not a lifestyle that outsiders could NEVER understand. He was wrong when he called himself a CAPO, because he wasn't a CAPO, but that's the only thing I see wrong with ol' dude. Anybody know what I mean?
