What is the deal with rappers and killing each other anyway? I remember rap use to be about break dancing, gold chains, Kangol hats, then I guess Democrats got involved and brought in the criminals and rewrote the culture so they kill each other and promote that to kids.
Gang affiliations mostly. And early hip-hop recording companies were sketchy AF.

Rappers had a tendency to talk badly about each other, especially East Coast-West Coast so some of it was establishing cred. They were usually connected to either Crips or Bloods and they were honor bound to kill each other.
Plus Biggie was just an evil dude
Didn’t they go all ganster to appeal to suburban white teenagers?
