The first part of your post is bullshyt.
Let's use Snoop as an example.
When he ran "gangsta" rap nobody was sounding like or trying to imitate Snoop.
welp..
stop, right there.
snoop has had biters in every gen from g thang to even now, from sexual seduction.
so, that would not be true at all.
you are trying to use a gangsta rapper to prove a cultural hiphop point and it will not work in the context of what you want.
you merged two ideals and a culture that is anti gang into another.
plus, a gangsta rapper who only takes to nonviolent appeals after he runs into complete life altering imprisoned threatening trouble.
i think the issue is you really don't know the culture and the rest of the world does not and is making hiphop take the blame for issues it has nuffin to do with.
hiphop is not the result of what has transpired the prison economy misappropriating the business and industry of rap and segregating it away from hiphop.
somewhere in hiphop's forgiving mythos.
it has erroneously and wrongly attached itself in pr via the business of rap to the idea of being something it is against.
yet, in that.
hiphop as a culture has not benefitted culturally and socially as a whole from this more or less false allegiance.
as of right now, we are basically watching the beginning of what took place with rock misappropriating blues.
where now, this new form of digital chemical romance based music ideal and life. which has no culture and is actually and completely anarchist in a rock nature and even actual everything with a complete amalgamation of anything that took place in the ruthless label lexicon, from atban clan to nwa to cpo to bone, and any and every group or production anything in between.
as under a chemical romance with the digital age and anything derived from it and the arise of the internet and new media.
what we are watching is not rap.
it is a shame a louse like la reid falsely labeled along with future this genre as not trap music but trap and some derivative of rnb away from the actual culture ideal and sentiment embracing ideals sonically of trap music. which incorporated and also applied and was originally about cultivating some cultural sensibility.
under which all went awry as the actual label in question that even coined idea of trap music as an actual genre.
was also falsely campaigning politically via revenue and industry and not actually adhere'n in principal action and execution that resembles the mores of the pillars of what the culture of hiphop is.
as the original lead flagship artist in the trap music genre and self titled release also never wrote his actual comeuppance.
that he campaigned and played the part of a fake emcee to be as he and also other labels in the southern and also ruthless based lexicon also did not fully adhere to the culture. so trying to even adhere these artist to some cultural ideal, of hiphop needs to stop.
the genre needs to be and reflect its complete pop sensibility based origins and ideals from cheetah girls meets bjork writes madonna and cher rays of light.
to tpain and also the fake non writting voice over artist lil wayne as well.
combined with the coming of age direction of the production being used as the sonic landscape based idea, direction and palette of the generation.
so right now, we are basically looking at trap.
not trap music, but trap.
as it has been put into misappropriated print and label everything to accompany horrorcore/gangsta rap/double time rap/rnb/thug n' b/edm/disco/pop/trance etc.
so right now, trying to even look at the artist from those labels, lexicon and ideals from a hiphop standard do not apply and do not exist.

Now compare that to Lil Uzi Vert, who currently runs the emo/punk+trap scene. There are multiple examples in this thread alone of straight up clones. Taking the ad- libs, the dance moves, the whole swag.
If this type of biting happened back then niccas would be physically assaulted. Ghostface told niccas 20+ years ago on wax..."don't ever bite me or my niccas style". Ghost was dead ass.
Now niccas just want to pop as quick as possible, so they get the starter kit...double cup, whole body tatted, colored dreads, designer belt...and hope these white teens start listening to their shyt.
at this point,..
we are watching what is the new marketed and controlled pop teen sector.
now, being called trap.
like rocknroll was called the taboo action of sex.
where everything popular is given precedence and it is all manufactured via digital fraud.
where the ideals of the prison industrial economy are actually controlled, manufactured and marketed as an actual fake component of life.
it is the breakdown of the protection mechanism in rap.
where cultural quality control was not able to be met.
where eventually the entire culture internally succumbbed from errant direction and leadership from the new school way of thought beginning being duped in the segregation from disco and the bronxdale area.
where eventually the culture of hiphop would be made and never able to shake its damning disco social ideal poison pagan roman catholic gay based roots and pedo based life.
at this point rap, does not exist in the idea of the genre that was misappropriated from hiphop.
nor does hiphop in its new school way of thought exist.
hiphop only exist in its real actual cultural based and living emcees, writers, breakers and turntablist.
that have moved in a visionary ideal from the prescient good faith based ideas, mores and norms from the social and artist ideas of urban intellectualism and black nationalist party brain trust.
what remains is a pop disco misappropriating realm for all the wack fakkits, and wack people who were never real can all create a fake industry.
where their corrossive damning ideas lacking good faith will eventually ruin it.
resulting in complete anarchy.
as there will come to exist no prescient urban intellectual based lexicon of revolutionary based peace out of poverty ever again.
once, hiphop and the last bboys and the bgirls of the world are done.
the world will be completely wack and lack complete essence of good faith.
as an actual prescient idea that can manifest in physical human social nature.
