I'm just now (as recently as a few months ago) getting hip to Kevin Gates. I'm no psyshologist, but son definitely has STRONG hints of Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Depressive Personality Disorder. Slightly sociopathic tendencies when speaking. Wants to be viewed as an anamoly but wants to be taken seriously. Wants to be loved without acknowledging he does. Wants to be feared while making absolutely no sense at times to anyone but himself, even with implied threats or self-ego-stroking. Has been through, done and seen a lot, but has problems translating that into laymans terms without coming off as condescending, holier-than-thou, or superior. Has an institutionalized mindframe in that his ways of thinking (most likely sparked by the same situations in early life that he channeled into illegal activity) were tempered and amplified with his prison stay. The isolation, reflection time, and ability to constantly think clearly without too much interruption, as well as the inherent ability to observe human nature (inmantes/C.O.s) all contributed to this.
