i dont know if it's dead.

i will say, if you are a rapper on the come up in 2009, and still rapping about shooting people and selling drugs, you will not make it.

the stories have been told to death and too many people saying the same shit

I suggest you listen to Nipsey Hussle outta LA. This dude is sick as fuck. A lot of his stuff is reminiscent of the shit that was out in the 90's.

And "Devil Music" is probably the most alive out of all...ICP, Mars, Esham, Mastamind...these dudes sell units and most importantly, sell out shows and merchandise...don't count out that genre at all, hell, Tech N9ne has gained all of those type of fans and look at his success

gangsta rap is dead in the popular sense, but as long as gangsta shit is still happenin in the world, it will never die cuz somebody's bound to spit about it and make hot music. you will of course always have the pussys who feel the need to have an image like they're hard but that's rappers and regular niggas alike.

Real Gangsta Rap is alive in the underground. When you see these pop/fakes talking about Gangsta shit, that is what kills it. There has always been a lot of studio gangstas.

As for Gangsta's holding a job, aint nothing wrong with that. Shit, kant stay 15yrs old forever.. soon enough you got a family to support and since you older and wiser, its up to them to tell their stories that they went through.
