its about how good of an author you are and how well you know law, also how untouchable you think you are.
you have to keep in mind alot of times rappers start off in the hood. 3 fans and a dream, and dont feel like the cops can even see them on they radar.
but when you start blowing up you cant take back the shit you tried to keep it the realest on..
also if you already been to jail for it you cant get arrested twice for something you did your time for
so regardless of adding heat on yourself your free to speak what you went through
a smart gangsta rapper knows when to get back into the streets and when not to, when to hold and when not to
to me its about how real you wanna keep it. you might name your exact block and be like "come get some dope" but...the cops might already know about that area so whats the harm? are we really thinking that a album is going to bring that many more fiends at 3am, juiced off of the cd?
some blocks cops aint even tryna go to and the rapper might be from there
its real out there regardless of what a cd says and cops know that too, fuck around trying to investigate cd's and waste your time when you coulda been investigating the streets where it happened. cops know that too.
you aint gonna fuck off your investment in music for nothing. we all seen the movie blow. its the entertainment industry, get too wrapped up in it and your gone.
