It didn't feel right in P&N among all the politic flamewars.

Listen to some of Tupac's material and you will learn that rap is not just about drugs and sex.

Your post should have read: "Why is this surprising? Isn't this what music is about?"

:thumbsdown:

Gotti's been under some heat for a LONG time now, I remember hearing suspicions of him being taken down a couple of years ago.

read books about tupac from people that knew him and you'll realize that tupac was about drugs and sex.

There was other stuff too, but sex and drugs were the basics

You figure selling all those CDs and Records would earn them a stable income, and really have no need to sell drugs. Silly people.

i dont think they really sell drugs for the money anymore, at least not when they're that rich. I guess they always want a steady supply around, and going into the rap game you can sure as hell bet they've made connections with lots of people either offering em or wanting to buy large amounts.

ok yeah its probably about the $
