Whether it true or not, that's up to you but an interesting read nonetheless..

I mean, it's obviously not true.

Sounds like something that could happen.

that was poorly written and pretty clearly not true

he sounds like someone who would blame chicago's crime rate on Chief Keef

Don't believe it at all, but for those that are saying it's "obviously not true" if it's so obvious do you care to explain it? Why is it not true?

there's enough suspect or blatantly false information in there to delegitimize everything else
-the "fact" that apparently no one there, in a room full of (presumably) grown adults knew about private prisons
-the idea that gangster rap is responsible for high crime rates
-the idea that gangster rap sells more than rny other kind

it's also full of technical errors, which make everything more suspect

UCrime has gone down significantly since the early 90s.

Or, to frame it another way: NWA's music was followed by a 25 year decline in violent crime.

Even if this story was true and not the equivalent of illuminati conspiracizing, the strategy did not have the intended effect.

There clearly was a change in rap music around that time. I don't think person's writing ability is an indicator of the legitimacy or lack thereof though.

I doubt a group whose entire message was kill cops and commit crimes helped bring down the crime rate
