I don't do background checks on rappers or watch closely what they do daily. I know some of the rappers I listen to are real gangstas, like a lot of the rappers from San Diego that I listen to. And I know a lot of the other rappers probably grew up around the gangsta shit but decided to distance themselves from that lifestyle by pursuing a career in rapping about what they grew up around. Whether they did the crimes growing up or even currently, I don't know and I don't really care because I am not too concerned with their past or present personal lives, just their music. But I can also spot a total fake either by listening or viewing a video and I won't even purchase the garbage. Does listening to rap make me feel harder? No, I don't let music influence my decisions. That would like coming out of a Tony Jaa movie and thinking I can kick everyone's ass by mimicking his moves.

Basically, you never really know for sure if an artist is being REAL. Usually, people take where an artist is from to compare "hard times" and "hood life". People even base their opinion about an artist by looks alone! But anyone can throw on a grill, rock some forces and grab a piece. Of couse I have nothing against the real gangsta rap artists, but ive always stayed away from the fake rappers. I believe experience is a big part of being a musician of any kind. How could you relate to a group of people when you dont even know what that life is about. You just repeat what the last fake rapper said. Its sad how most of hip hop today is like that.

Ya know I see many post that says it does not matter because it is just entertainment. In most regards I do think music is intended as entertainment, but some music effects people in different ways whether the music is some love songs, gangsta rap or even songs with political agendas. So in saying it is just entertainment? Then do you guys buy R Kelly music...Or Dresta who are Known Pedophiles?, because with the same logic that it is just entertainment means you should have absolutley no problem with buying and listening to these artists...its just entertainment.

Well if they haven't murdered a few people and accidentally taken down at least one innocent bystander in a drive-by then I don't lisen. I'll download your shit if you've stabbed someone though. But I'll only buy it if they died.

Shit is entertainment for real. Honestly theres some killers out there that havent never been caught and got locked up yet. And I think its okl if someone rap about these situations not just if they experinced it but if a friend or family member has.

If you don't live it, don't rap about it. If you talk about something enough, it will eventually come to you. It could be a rapper that happens to be a hard fuckin' dude, or it could be some regular street cat that catches one of your shows and decides to test the size of your nuts in the parking lot.

Fact of the matter is, when you're on top or on your way there, a lot of cats will do anything they can to discredit you and bring you down. So, it's in a rappers best interest to be themselves, and not contribute to the bullshit. On top of that, it's just plain dangerous for a square to talk about some gangster ass shit. It's entertainment to the listener, but it's real life in the streets.

its entertainment - people get a little carried away and exagerate. but it comes from truth usually. u can tell when someones faking it usually or if not they eventually get caught (rick ross) etc. i look at it like movies based on true stories - yeah it happened but they make it look more glamourus. thats why they called artists

Acutually Ross and his crew is in teh streets down there in flawda I know this for a fact, so you may wanna do some research on who he is in the streets before you speak off some internet site just bc they had some pics of his cover up 9-5 back in the day.



Also this thread is weak bc you cant judge a rapper from tehy music or appearence. Looks and sounds can be decieving. Bc if a nigga is a super thug and getting away with it he not gonna give out tips or proof that he doing his dirt.anyway I though gangsta rap was dead and has been since the 90's
