yes and those gangs still control most of the drugs in this city. but now all we hear about are haitian gangs (basicly the resalers) no longer those bikers.

Honestly if you look at it logically this makes more sense than you may know and it shows the greater flaw to our society as a whole really.

More than 60% (give or take) of all rap/hip hop albums are sold to white purchasers. So what are the purchasers buying? They are buying albums that are filled with the "N" word, glorify guns, drugs, strippers and degrade women among any number of other things the albums may contain.

So in reality a rapper wouldn't talk about and glorify these things if it didn't make for album sales and the record companies wouldn't promote or produce these kinds of albums....but societies mirror is in it's art so be worried more about those buying it than those producing it to some extent and where our society as a whole is headed as these albums get more brazen by the day
