Chinx Drugs was murdered
Young pappy was murdered
Lil snupe was murdered
Dex Osama was murdered
BLVD quick was murdered
General reezy was murdered lesser known Philly rapper
Bank roll fresh was murdered
Young dolph had 3 attempts on his life
And there's 100 other Rappers with legitimate criminal records that did jail time with actual street credibility


Rappers & record labels used to be financed by actual gangsters like HarryO financing suge knight & death row
Zip financing badboy & being extorted by Jimmy henchman
Supreme Financing irv gotti & murder inc
Big Meech cosigning Jeezy solidifying his gangster
Jaz prince financing Rap -a-lot records etc.... now it seems like legitimate street nikkaz are getting in front of the camera instead of being behind the scenes financing local talented rappers, singers & producers when my question is when did it shift?

This only proves the previous generation was more gangsta than these nikkas. Nikkas catching charges and dying over dumb shyt like throwing candy at another man.

Nah, its just that today, most of these new rappers are emotional clout chasing crash dummies. Gs back then moved in silemce for the most part and distanced themselves from dirt with degrees of separation. Cats these days snitch on themselves, get jammed and wear it like a badge of honor

Ehh, to a degree but half those guys you mentioned are not really rappers to me.

Plus the barrier of entry is so low these days almost anyone can be a rapper in their spare time. Also a lot of record companies pour less resources into artists which means they'll be more likely to get in to bullshyt.
