rap and the mafia?

yeah well I was thinking about this and wanted a good discussion about it and /b/ is not the place .

I bought the limited edition off the godfather game and it was good and all but one thing that bothers EA put in the opinions from rappers this is starting bother me why do these rappers think that just because they sell a little coke or crack they think they are John gotti or carlo gambino .

especially that fucker 50 cent with the interview they did in that restaurant where mob figures used to meet and the reporter told him about it he went .

Yeah yeah i feel right at home here .

50 cent is not a gangster have these peope actually read up on the mafia blacks are not liked by the mafia or irish or jews in almost every mafia movie they are ridiculed by the figures in the godfather in goodfellas in Donnie Brasco in the sopranos .

Also if you watch cribs they have a poster off the godfather or scarface and they say its a inspiration .

there is a scene in the gofather where they talk about the drugs .

they say we will only sell to blacks there soul is lost anyway .

the mafia is not a white thing I know but you had to be at least white to be a associate Lucky Luciano was looked down upon because he used blacks to do his dirty work .

Umm, Mafia is mainly white thing as far as I know. Unless, you don't consider Italians, Irish or Russians to be whites. Note that gangs aren't mafia. Mafias are sophisticated businesses, they just happen to not care about laws.

I've heard Mexicans are quite big too today.

Yeah I meant not a purely white thing since some people like to argue that the mafia is sicillian and sicillian is not white .

Um I'm sorry, but the Mafia were the crack dealers of their day. Like Chris Rock said: "Bootlegging didn't mean they sold boots." Gangs and Mafia have pretty much the same tactics the only difference is in age and organization. Gangs are young diseffected kids without fathers. Mafia is for career criminals and works as a heirarchy.

Look at it like this- Criminal Rap culture is for children. To them: Organized crime is like the difference between being owner of a small business and the owner of a coporation (who doesn't care about laws).

This is why Scarface is inspration to small time gangs.

But um, to be sure...50 Cent is a faggot and joke. Don't believe everything about rappers and the image they portray. Getting shot nine times doesn't make you Hardcore.

Especially when Hardcore is the new Gay.

Sure I know that with the alcohol/crack what I mean is they deal a little crack and emediatly think they are big time professionall criminalls with great power like the old dons .

Like why does 50 cent need a whole fleet off armoured cars who is out to get him ?

It would not surprise me if he got his buddy to shoot him .

Again considering these are basically children without fathers looking for some kind of empowerment in a *percievably* hopeless situation- I don't know what this behavior surprises you or why it should come as a surprise that a guy like 50 continues the behavior after being successful.

I'm half Japanese.  I want to join a mafia organization that is all white.  Dragon tattoos are just too damn obvious.

Fiddy got shot in da head nine motherfuckin' times.  That makes you certified GANGSTA.

Don't bother. It's way overrated.

The difference is easily solved by seperation of gangsta and gangster.
