Why do most rappers become "gangsters" after their debut?

[Sad Bunny]

Drake started talking bout catching bodies on Take.Care, drug dealing etc


Big Sean is now talking about having mc 10s, shooting up cars and "ill turn it into dead in the street time"


No hate but damn, nikkas become more about that life the richer they get

somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game

You said most rappers but only named two people?

 

[Professor Polo]

most rappers dont do that....the two you just named are lame, thats why

 

[RajWatts]

because a lot of these rappers are recruited by goons and become influenced into leading goonish lifestyles.

dr. dre showed eminem how to use his first gun and he loved the feeling. drake was so happy when birdman took him to the park to engage in the thrill of his very first bush tossing experience. its a fantasy come to life for them, just like an aspiring actor who becomes an action star.

Drake started talking greasy a lot more cause he started feeling himself.
But people started threatening him, robbing him etc So when he got his confidence and money up, he said fukk them. While he's only mentioned bodies once, he's always been talking greasy though without the bodies, and I'd assume that Headlines was a one time thing. And also it would sound a whole lot lamer if he did it back in the days. Drake has also kept all his connections like his g'd up cousins in the south and all that on the low..

drake said somebody around him gon catch a body and that he would body somebody on some rap shyt cause he live for it, it isnt just a hobby to him

and big sean been rappin bout shyt like that since his mixtapes, and big sean had a song called 100 keys on his album which ft. rick ross and pusha

and u only named 2 rappers

 

[Bezerk]

more money = more hired goons

 

[Sad Bunny]

Agreed with alot of you.

And ok, some rappers. Happy?

But i think they have a right bc as a celeb and a rapper, nikkas gone diss and test yoy.

Gotta have prtection. Id be strapped

I think it's a reflection of the people they have around them. You grow listening to people rap about these scarface/nino brown fantasies and now you surround yourself with people that did it and they rub off on you.

"because in the studio , you can be any thug you wanna be"



it's also a backwards case of art reflecting life....

these guys (rappers) get into character and never seem to break out of it...

because the groupies, the goons and the guap got them actually thinking they could be the guy that they seen in film or heard about in the streets....

but without having to actually take the risks or earn the stripes that REAL STREET CATS actually have taken is where the line is drawn....

and unfortuantly alot of rappers think by mere association with street cats that they can cross that line with no reprucussions....

we have seen that movie way too many times and it doesn't end well

it's no different with these athletes.....Pacman Jones is a good example...

"if ya quick to brag you get clipped and tagged homie"

"i will break ya fukkin collar bone"

Alright 2 bars of what? 5000?

And that clipped and tagged bar he said that he carries his city like a victor bag and if you brag you'll end up in that bag. Just some slick (or not) wordplay.
As in killing rappers, not murdering people.
