I agree with this.
like, in the past, even if someone was in a gang, they'd use rap, for example, as a means to escape a bad situation.
that's why a lot of gangsta rap used to be introspective/full of regret.
now a lot of gangsta rap is used to help support the gang monetarily and put their name out there/the rappers remain active gang members.
And I don't mind the escaping part. I fully believe if you lived that life and you get an opportunity to be a superstar....
You
Escape!
Simple as that. But the ones I am talking about in particular are for that life.

You completely ignored the whole part about it putting their stories out there and making it so people who would of never been exposed to it any other way may have the ambition to want to help do something about it. You just focused on specifically what only the rappers gain, which was never my argument.
I am not ignoring anything. But what what said doesn't change. Yes, it is cool they tell their story. It is cool to give cautionary tale.
But no matter what you say.if he is still in the gang (and he doesn't participate in violence) he still cosign his colleague's violence.
If you were a famous rapper and you were in the gang. And a colleague who is in the gang. Shot and killed someone. You're going to still side with your colleague. It is simple as that. You're not going to apologize on their behalf.
And look I respect the positive side to it. I will never say take away that of it. But at least admit. The ones who are killing even when they are famous has to stop.
