That block you're repping? Watch how it gets socially cleansed in less than 10 years and then the next council estate to not get enough funding becomes the latest to be hit by this gang epidemic.
Keep on drilling though, you saw it happen to Brixton, it'll happen to Tottenham too. Every area that has a gang/crime culture is a prime spot to get gentrified.
Watch how your corner shop becomes a Little Waitrose and then talk about being boss of the ends. Watch how you and your family are constantly targeted by authorities who want to make your life hard. Cashtastic got deported after they had enough of him. There's only so many times you will go to jail.
Then again, I listen to drill - the productions are crazy and I always implore anyone exploring talent, but let's not lie.
The drive comes from aggression, people love a hype. Instead of using that energy to systematically take over the music industry (i.e Drake, the guy isn't tough lmao, far from hood but he's a social genius. He understands marketing, people still bang out his tunes but he's probably never ever touched a gun lmao. He spent all his record money promoting his hits because he knows numbers = $ )
The moment a rapper claims XYZ, someone wants to call them out. How is it all these US rappers constantly beef & send shots for each other but not one person has died from a rap battle beef lmao. They're smart, they know everyone wants diss tracks. These UK artists know you have to have street cred tho, so to appease fans / keep up street cred they'll just go & murder someone.
Then you get a vicious cycle of these fans who love hearing about stabbings, but then call man like SJ "cringe", "neek".....so you're hyping his music, giving a 17 year old the attention AND props for making a song talking about his real life murders, but then don't want any part once he's become a social outcast by going to prison?
Who's the real problem here, a 17 year old or the 7.8 million views the fans gave him? He's 17, if you give a 17 year old props for killing and selling drugs, they will see nothing wrong with it and continue as they are.
If the people around SJ cared about his talent, they'd take him under their wing and keep him off this dumb shit. Someone tell the guy it's okay to take a L if you've got your life & freedom, those things you can't put a price on.
