Why Did Rappers Embrace The Mafiaso Rap

[mson]

I think a lot of the rappers understood the racism aspect of the mafia. Look at G raps On the run, he ends up killing an entire family and spitting right in the bosses Guinea face. "Mafia rap" produced some of the best rap songs I've ever heard.

I don't recall there being any racism in the Godfather films

Or in any mafia movies for that matter

Umm how about when the white girls were openly talking about Sammy Davis Jr. in Goodfellas or when they introduce Stacks(samuel l jackson)?

I don't know why this is shocking. Murderers and racketeers usually aren't respectable people.

I don't recall said scene in goodfellas, i do remember Stacks but i don't see how that's racism. He got killed like everyone else working the gig did. if they were racist they wouldn't even work with a black man.
