What's sad is that what you said does make sense but too many rappers brag about their city murder rap too boost their ego has me wondering if.they don't see the stupidity and demonic and sad about that. Gangsters that are club owners , party promoters,managers are usually low key but I guess the pressure of street rapper "force" to be talk about that life cause too many fakes clog up the rap pipeline I guess

Luckily (all) major cities are not as violent like the crack era. Some places had 1000-,1500,2000 murders late 80's.early 90's . More importantly places like Mexico or brazil
