The Clipse grew up middle class, no struggle but gravitated to the drug game ... is this common?

It’s not a suburb. Maybe at one point they could have been considered first ring suburbs. 100,000 people live there, they have a downtown. It’s nicknamed the Hub City. Why is it a suburb because of suburban sprawl and houses? They have a mayor. Decatur isn’t a “suburb” either, these are just small cities outside of large cities.
It’s like me being from NYC and saying Mt. Vernon and Yonkers are suburbs.

Ive known plenty upper middle class cac kids who sold bc they thought it was cool from listening to hiphop. Difference is when they get busted....they only get probation
Push had a swimming pool in the back. Drake had to work to pay his single mothers medical bills

It's hard to explain the socio economics of a military town.
The suburbs are next to the section 8 neighborhoods. I dont know how else to explain it.
I grew up in section 8 housing in Virginia beach surrounded by nice neighborhoods.
I still saw drugs, shootings and wild violence.
Where Pusha grew up, he was surrounded by bad neighborhoods and out here, it's hard to stay out of those neighborhoods because of how the cities are

You think you have to be impoverished to work in the drug trade?
It’s a business like anything else. Just because their parents were able to avoid poverty don’t mean that their sons has an abundance of opportunities to earn money.
Thats ties into what im getting at....how can you refer to yourself as middle class when you aint even got the resources to shape and mold your community to your liking? If you did, it wouldnt be a "hood" so to speak...this american middle class shyt is largely imagery. shyt is largely working class folks who want to crown themselves as something else
When it's time for children to go to college and buy their homes, how the funding of that is handled will tell all that needs to be known about their supposed "class"

Only a very small percentage of rappers are actually about the life they rap. All the rest are acts, this has been known since day 1.
