Does LA Gang Culture Hurt The Business Of Hip-Hop? Hit-Boy Shares His Thoughts 

"Find an excuse" is an interesting choice of words lol. You must be a transplant. In that case, just stay north of the 10 freeway and stay out the way. The truth is, Hollywood and the music industry love the gangster sh## in LA, as long as they can control it and market it to the tune of billions of dollars. It's when it gets outside of industry control (ie the Suge Knight types, the unsanctioned "check in" stuff) that it only then, becomes a problem.

You think he might be jealous of his son to a certain degree? Cuz the son rich and the dad aint?

Hip Hop started off on dirty money and poverty

😅

Its.funny cause.the foundation of hip hop is gang culture.

🎯🎯 it fuvked up the business, made it another part of the ghetto instead of a stepping stone

No lol there’s always been gangs and cliques u can’t get mad at gangsta rap and there’s violence everywhere homie. U can’t blame one region for how u fuccin acting 😂 grow up

@@kasheem1747 I don't give a flying F

I agree. We had to kinda chill with that

Is you dumb? You're sad because your state isn't the murder capital anymore...wake up you stupid motherfucker..we're killing ourselves

That’s mostly federal tax and social security. CA State tax is only 14% for millionaires. It’s not the highest. - In Cali you have to make 153k to bring home 6 figures after federal and state tax. In Maryland you gotta make 154k. In Oregon you gotta make 156k. In Alaska and some of the southern states, you have to make 137k in order to bring home $100,000 after taxes. Cali pays way more than them states though. When I moved to Cali from the DMV, my same job paid quadruple. We just get taxed like hell, no matter where you live or whose the president, the only escape from it is to have employees. The tax system promotes getting married or contribute to the economy, because all the real tax breaks either come from filing married jointly, having children, or owning a business that employs people other than yourself

That’s correct for the top tax bracket (400k+ a year), that same applies for NY state as well.

Taxes is the highest out here homie. It’s so bad we just use to it smh been dealing for years

On some real shit I partially blame Mack 10. He started putting niccas on bloods outta state not even from L.A. and the trend from hip hop started from there

It’s different because of the original of blood and Crips if

It’s different because it’s the original of the home of CRIPS and Bloods . If u had not had homies starting hood out of town and out of towners wood have claimed there own towns own color own ways . Talk there talk and walk . Not California style and u in ATL or North Carolina, Alabama, even New York. Texas.. take the Crip.and blood and Pirus out of there game and hell yes it wood CE or BE different. Stop playing that the biggest problem. It’s played wit and we created some of it behind Money. Out of town Balling. . Keep it 100 💯 the industry would be not what it is without the gangs . The rap world want it to Ce or be Callie at one point. And Soulja Boy, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Birdman, 21 Savage pop smoke rest in peace Lil Scrappy come on man we got robbed.. of our style. The color game change the game and you steal got drama. Y’all know what it do .
