Who's the first rapper that made selling drugs cool?

[flipn50]

I'm just curious. I respect all dope boys as businessmen and marketers.

demonic thread but either eazy or master p were the first ones who showed the link between hustling your little paper on the street to being a fukking mogul.

The first one that came to my mind was Eazy E, his first album came out n 1988.

Master P first album "get away clean" came out in 1991.

Yo sorry for reviving this old ass thread,but regarding that mafioso talk you've GOT to give it to G Rap,ofcourse there were Ice-t and such,but G's rhyming is/was light years ahead of Ice T, Eazy and most deffinetly MASTER P

LL Cool J came to my mind cause of something Kool Moe Dee said 1 time.

Paid In Full & Criminal Minded are the 2 ultimate crack era albums.


Those 2 albums had me SO ready to pitch. Then I got out there and it wasn't at all what I thought it was. Then those 2 albums made sense to me in other ways.

None.

Being a drug dealer was cool before being a rapper was.

 

[BronxFleeZ]

Troy ave, as he would say smh

 

[RTF]

Crack made selling drugs super cool. Demand was high as hell and at first anyone could make decent money.

Some just want rappers to shut up and make them dance, as if a rapper has no place to claim any sort of moral agency. But what if he or she has something to say? What if, in a time of such bloody horrible everything, their ideals are exactly what we need out in the open air? No, but that would humanize them, that would make them like the relatives we argue with at Sunday dinner. Hip-hop will always be a language of protest, and language will always be innately political, whether we choose to see it that way or not.
