Mafioso Culture was always a big influence upon new york rappers who grew up in areas such as Brooklyn where thier was a predominant italian demographic, along with the fact of Mafia activities making the headlines every day....

it's been like that for awhile years prior to the NYC coke rap explosion of the mid 90's

"he likes to eat hardy, party , be like JOHN GOTTI and drive a maserati!"- Kool G. Rap

"now in 93...they should FREE JOHN GOTTI!!"- Fat Joe

90's pop culture was all about the mafia.

That is why "mainstream NY mid 90's(BIG,JAY,NAS) adopt sicilian culture?"

All those movies(except Casino) where NY based. I should have said 90's pop culture NY based.

"John Gotti was a racist, but he still the craziest"

period

lol @ questioning why rappers worship racists when the issue should be why do rappers worship killers and all-around evil men.
