studio gangsters hands down. Then again the definition of gangster is subjective anyway. The whole concept counter-productive.

Yeah, its pretty wild how no one expects Pacino to really flip bricks but rappers had to live their lyrics which in turn causes death whilst people say "Its just entertainment" and the rest.

Makes you wonder how many bodies have dropped due to your favorite rappers pen back when and who gets the karmic bill for those deaths, if there is such a thing. Interesting though experiment when it comes to knowing the ledge.

I could give AF either way. I fukk with king von and he was a serial killer FR FR. shyt doesn't influence me either way. There are plenty on here who get off to that type of porn. Good for them.

All this depends on the listener….
Studio gangster usually say generic stuff…
Then again real gangsters do to…

Rapping, lyricism, and storytelling is an art form.

Because of their ages, and the areas they are from , I'm sure Kool G Rap and Scarface dabbled in the streets. Not kingpins or on trial for murders or any of that shyt. But around it enough to write songs that paint vivid stories about street life.
Ones that appeal to dudes from that life and just regular rap fans.

Yep, it really is quite strange like I said. People wanted (expected?) real life WWF from those that push a pen then go flip bricks, insert bullets and such things. Now we have people actually doing that for real then talking about it on FM.
