Why do rappers think they own their hood or block, when they don't have the deeds to any property

[Standing on business]

Is it just a rapper vs rapper thing? when they continue to come through with the hard hats and tear down the property we will see where these street dudes who own the block are.

"Ownership" of the underground economy...(rather making fans think they ran shyt)

When they say they own the block they talkin street shyt only. You on here talkin about deeds and shyt. It's a figure of speech.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Because they're idiots. You got hustlers making hundreds of thousands of dollars and don't have the sense to buy up the cheap property they're posted on.

Then cacs come in and gentrify and they get mad talking about someone needs to bring the essence back.
