My ancestors must have hoarded eight generations of virtue!!
At its core, West Coast gangster rap is still gang-related; with the stuff they pull, they're already marked by the FBI, they couldn't wash themselves clean if they tried. One glance at your skin tone and you're pegged as cotton-picking material!
Even if some boss up top wants to go legit, licking the boots of white politicians, they can't stop the underlings from howling daily about making big moves and big money.
If you want to use gang connections for business but don't want to get too cozy with gang members—lest you end up with a crooked ass—you better prepare to get shot in the back! Replacing a boss isn't exactly a barrier to making money; there's always someone ready to take over.
