Charleston White: Rappers Aren't Really Gangster 

Facts now that I'm over 35yrs shit just dumb the whole culture dumb coming out of Detroit I got caught up in it then I woke up better late then never

​@@Thatscardo365Im glad to see some people grew up. I know a lot of people in the D that are still doing the some shit at your age

It’s not just the community, you got well off kids tryna make it out the suburbs into the streets, and Ja morant getting bare negative media attention cause of his off court antics, despite coming from a respectable upbringing. The glamorization of thugs and low life’s is sad and is why you got guys like Ben Shapiro saying it’s in black culture to be like that when race isn’t a factor, I know Black, Arab, Asian, Hispanic, white and native guys who all are about that life…

I've come to the realization that Gang culture isn't the thing being glamorize or even sold. It's really this hyper masculine, super wealthy, untouchable persona. That's why most of the people that buy the music and go to the concerts are not gangsters themselves. Being a gangster isn't easy but people that fall into that life think rapping (also not easy) is the only exit. It will continue to look like an exit as long as the people the labels wanna buy them and the people wanna go the the concert (where the real/most money is made for an artist).

@@mharris4264 we're not talking about the same music if you think gang culture isnt the main topic

What bout young pappy n tay k?😮

Well that’s what they need to indoctrinate young children minds with violence and sin

​@@tropickmannot all of em, von was a killer, so was duck, and durk. And many more, I think young boy was, obviously not in the streets anymore.

@@RumpleDikskinYeah that’s true real criminals are an embarrassment and things tend to end up pretty bad for them it’s a shame they couldn’t be with us longer.

No rappers are just acting performers rap is for the most part bunch a fake ppl repeating crap other performers repeated. And it brainwashed a bunch of suburban kids to try and be Gangstas complete shit show.

Like free Palestinian supporters 😂

Oh boy...

Just like the Booty Warrior isN'T a sexual predator NEVER RAPED NO ONE!! He spent 12yrs in solitary confinenent in Kentucky. Yes he waw a extremely violent person. The only reason he mad the video was the Warden wanted him to make up a story to scare kids not to go prison!!! The more you know!!!

Yessssir!!

If you are a Christian, you're part of it the manipulation system.

He's actually a 16 year old, meth is a helluva drug.

Bro what are you talking about? Tupac and all them would be around the same age if alive right now. This dude was talking about when he was younger. You’re so dumb

He's talking about his mental state 😒

CW is younger 😂. Hes 52 and ice cube 53.

You like selling drugs, black violence and then glorifying it. And when a white person kill a black person. You are there with blm. Take it from black person himself, there is nothing good from hood culture and glorifying it. Only thing it does is it inspire next generation to be gangsta and kill another nigga

A rapper is someone who talks a lot and gets paid a lot of money for it, a gangster is someone who runs around with a gun, and spends most of his adult life in prison. 😂

He must’ve been on game, they know our rap history better than we think.

They may not be gangsta, but their money is definitely real

@@gtbxjay_ytnot really

Yeah not really when you are walking talking lone it's called a death clause so many people need to be educated on the music industry I went to a show where nobody liked the music and we paid kids to bring their friends and pretend like they liked it we paid kids to bring their friends think about that and that's the lowest rink

⁠@@gtbxjay_ytno it’s not, very small percentage of rappers are actually succesful after rap. Most don’t make that much money to be set for life. It’s just a flex for camera

TRUTH.EAZY E👍.... Not condoning any if this rap crap. But Truth is Truth. But hoping to a different topic. The whole rap game went SOUTH👎from the beginning. Let's go back before rap, let's talk the breakdancing music. It ALL STARTED LIKE THIS: " Sucka ass fool this...sucka ass fool that...FROM THE BEGINNING...FROM the breakdancing music...it STARTED WITH NEGATIVITY. THEY COULDNT STAY HAPPY AND HAVING A GOOD TIME JUST GOOD TIME LIRICS AND DANCING. NO. THEY HAD TO START DISSING ONE ANOTHER FROM THE BEGINNING. Just go search the LYRICS of the beginning. The breakdancing music. You will hear " sucka ass this and sucka ass that" DISSING ONE ANOTHER. THIS IS what started the 👎DOWNWARD SPIRAL. NEGATIVITY. Breakdancing music. And Rap WOULD OF BEEN GREAT MUSIC in the WORLDS MUSIC.... But no. ITS GARBAGE. BROUGHT NOTHING BUT EVIL. 👎GARBAGE MESSAGES.👎 CAN it still be TURNED AROUND?⬆️ CAN PEOPLE NOWADAYS MAKE POSITIVE RAP? WE STILL WAITING.

Ice cube wrote his lyrics lol… so idk how they were true

@@nickotasla3091 I hear you. I can’t deny that. But there is a lot of positivity in hip hop

@@Betoven81 👍I wont contradict you. I've been away from the hip hop game for lots of years. And I bet there is. But, WHAT THEY PLANTED , THEY REAPED...You have to admit that from the beginning and throughout, it's been 97% Lion society. Dog eat dog preaching. THATS WHAT RAP HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING. EVIL PREACHING. WE have the MUSIC on one side...and the SATANIC PREACHING on the other. This is RAP. Music+ evil PREACHING. The MUSICAL part of RAP has been AWESOME from the BEGINNING. This is why it caught on like wildfire. But the lyrical side........👎..... I tell you what...a month ago, David Lynn the street preacher had a dude rapping in EUROPE. He was RAPPING CHRISTIAN WORDS to a Rap beat. And that was AWESOME.👍👍👍

Who tf cares, is that all you caught from the video tf 🤔

@@Seanlee76that’s what made him the worst of them all… no actually I think Travis is the most evil one. There is some evil dark energy that Travis Scott gives off

@@MilliAnderson-sx4kzwhat travvy do to u

50

All music is like this now day you just have to pick a side rock and pop are so mainstream every song is meant for the radio rap is embedded in gange culture that they feel like that's all they are allowed to rap about and I don't know that much about country I don't personally like it but if you do than good for you but it was most likely made on a computer and not on a good old guitar sadly all music nowadays is mostly fake it's just finding the real artist in those genres

​@@MilliAnderson-sx4kzyeah but Von personally murdered between 7-11 people and possibly more. He spent almost 4 years in jail, robbed and beat people up, grew up in the hood and bragged about his murders on Twitter, Insta and lives. I agree Travis Scott gives off some dark energy and people died at his event but Von was a demon.

When did he say that

@@markl5998 I think it was the interview with Vibe. I paraphrased a little. The actual quote is “When you’re doing rap albums, you have to train yourself. You have to constantly be in character”

​@@markl5998 😂😂😂

He also wrote songs like keep your head up, dear mama, never had a friend like me, only God can Judge me, I ain’t mad at you, the jealous got me strap, Brenda’s got a baby, me against the world, etc…

​@@skyscraperscorporation3747 don't forget so many tears on that list

"Cuz even though i sell rocks, it feels good putting money in your mailbox. I love paying rent when the rents due. Hope you got that diamond necklace that i sent to you.."

In a documentary Tupac said he didn't know how to sell drugs so it wasn't for him

​@@chrissorey "you are appreciated"🙏

I saw Ina interview he said , he couldn’t do it cause he would be too nice like if someone owes him money he would be like oh it’s aight pay me next time , shit like that , but I mean sellin ain’t for everybody

@@pothead2194 probably so. It seemed as though he has a huge heart. When he got with death row and then eventually chose a side. That's when he started living the lifestyle full force sadly. I seen where they said he couldn't fight worth a damn, but he was ALWAYS the first to swing. I guess cuz he knew his homies had his back, but he was much bigger than this persona he portrayed in his death row days. He had so much more to offer. Just listen to his lyrics of songs that came after. He just got caught up sadly and lost his life because of it. I would LOVE hear the music and message he put out if he would have survived it. It's kind of a 50/50 though.. he would have either gotten more hard core because he thought he was invincible or he would have got back on his positive tip! I would hope the latter .

Well only one culture thinks it's cool.

Gangsters are rarely seen or heard of. Usually doing deals behind the scenes not to be pursued by cops. Rappers write down lyrics on paper then perform themnin a studio.

That's what I'm saying. I'm wondering if everyone in the comments know this or not? He doesn't seem to be trying to hide it. Shits wild. Saw him talking about sodomising Chinese babies and killing them.

@@mytandasouder4485 the charleston dude? He said he did those things?

​@Steve Wailthorp idk about the babies, but he admitted to doing that stuff to kids. And said he wanted to grape some big NY comedian or rapper's kid. He also mentions have fantasies about kids a lot.

​@@benedicthamlin1137 he said he hates Chinese people and thinks Chinese babies should be killed and sodomised and used as alligator bait. also said that Chinese women need to get graped, it's absolutely ridiculous when I hear MY people talk like this and see MY other people SUPPORTING him. it's absolutely disgusting. people give him a platform but when a white person says the n word 20 years ago they feel the need to deplatform them. it's absolutely ridiculous 😊

yall know charleston leans into every diss ppl throw at him... whats worse, murder or rape? cuz if he did both, he went to TYC/prison for 7 years for his involvment in taking a mans life... so if he Rd a woman and she still alive whats worse? i guess i can just go kill someone and say this guy Chris told me Ring is worse no one even mentioned another persons murder when they spoke on him so i figured i was okay to do that... hmmmmm

Or...They would be in prison instead ...

Yea shut up and stop making money to satisfy you ok 😂

They are all studio gangsters except for eazy e. My mind is blown after all these years 🤯

Everybody thinks that they or somebody else is “Gangsta” until the Almighty shows up. If you haven’t realized that this is all a test at this point, you’re treading on the edge of Eternal Torment.

And there’s no such thing as Christianity hell. There’s no such thing as a place where you go burn after you die your body goes back to the ground and your spirit goes back to God.

​@@israeljudah4530 man who names himself Israel Judah has a problem with Christianity?

No, they’re real pussies and they’re starting to show them self even more because they know they were never built for that life and it’s not even about if you’re built for it is the fact that none of them are supposed to be doing the things that they send him song and y’all admire and gas them up to do it until they get the top blown like von even Nick knew that life was bullshit. That’s why he even admitted that a garbage man makes more money than a drug dealer just like high barber makes more money than a drug dealer hell are you tuber makes more money than a drug dealer that’s not hustling at all, that’s taking the easy way out and it don’t matter if it make a dollar or not because once the indictment comes that she gets frozen

That’s what comes with the lifestyle tbh

And those Chicago artist they real menaces to society.

This is good. Their lives are worthless

I feel your pain. I am the oldest of my siblings but my sister already has a career and an education. Everybody else in my family is successful and was already building a life by the time they were 18. But I started using drugs at a young age, now I'm 24 and after finally getting off the hard drugs and booze it feels like I'm just now actually starting in life. It's almost like I still have the mind and emotional control of a 16 year old because I never mentally aged after I started using. All my peers are hitting the best part of their lives while I have to reassemble the wreckage and hope I can catch up. Stay strong friend

Stay strong man. Wish you all the best

With a phone? Nd service?

@@HunterBidensHandgun I feel you bro. I’m a 22 year old Writing this from rehab, dead broke, and dropped out for the semester to be here.

​@Yvng Sway Actually you sound like you're on the right path then. If you took a semester off to go to rehab then that's a good thing trust me. I've been there. If you didn't take that semester off to go to rehab then you would've just stayed in school and stayed using until the drugs either got you a case,or worse. It's better to take a step back from the world, go to rehab and pull yourself back together, and get yourself back to 100%. Then go back to school when you're clean and healthy. You'll be in a better state of mind, so going to class everyday will be easier and you'll probably do alot better with grades. U didn't completely crash the train ,you just got off track a bit. And if you're still in school man then you must be young. You're only this age once,when you're 50 those college years will seem like a blur. But those years can make or break your life. You can turn left and keep on doing dope and live a life of drugs,poverty, and struggle. Or you can take the right turn, finish rehab,go back to school, graduate,and get a good paying career that will finance an easy and comfortable life. I'm 35, got hooked on pain pills at 18 while working a warehouse job. My addiction had me doing crimes which led to a federal case at the age of 19. So I spent years 19,20,22 in a federal prison. Got out and instantly had a kid. No college for me. Then the felony made it hard to find work. Just hard labor or warehouse jobs with low pay. Breaking my back 60 hours a week just to barely make ends meet. The drugs are a curse man. A curse of poverty,depression,and misery. And there's always that voice trying to suck you back in. Make the right decision, this is the point in your life that decides how the rest of your life will play out. You can't ever see it when you're in it and while it's happening,but you're in it and it's happening to you right now. You're just in rehab going through a rough patch and being broke makes it worse. Just roll with the punches and make it through. It's better to be broke in rehab right now just for a small period of time, instead of being broke and living a life of misery for the rest of you're life. Just remember no matter how bad the situation is, It's Only Temporary. You'll eventually leave rehab. And you'll go back to school. Just roll with the punches. Remember, you can either be broke and be on drugs forever, or you can be a rich college graduate that drives a nice car and has a hot wife. Good luck man and I wish you luck

I think everyone in the hood has at least sold a few bags to some buddies. I don't know any white kid in my small town that didn't sell a few bags of weed at least. Doesn't make them drug dealers. It was always the kids that didn't give a fuck about being on probation that sold drugs
