...come on let's picture the possibility...
The Mafia built the entire entertainment industry. I wouldn't be surprised if the mafia was dictating what some rappers do. I remember it was said that David Kenner was the mob's representative that was not only in control of death row but also a possible secret owner. If you look at DR back then they was heavy on the mob stuff too. DR was being investigated for mafia activity as well. Maybe the MOB they was reppin' wasn't just some gang ish?
Alot of these east coast rappers have legit connections to Black Mafia like groups/figures who from my research are just the subordinate Black counterparts to the Italian mafia. Lil Kim, The Wu and Biggie all had/have documented mafia ties and they all repped that lifestyle in their music. I'll take a guess and say it's deeper than rap.
