And they definitely clearly don't dictate hip hop in the way that they used to.

More like 90.

Almost nobody is making music for people like them.

So quite often, if you are going to be a popular rapper, you're going to appeal for people outside of your demographic.

And now with like this openness of information, it's like people are just able to have more of an objective opinion on what's going on in the streets.

Like there's so many people who get into the streets and then they smoke somebody when they're 18 and then they got to go do 30 years.

And it's like they realize at some point during their 30 years, like, oh, this shit is stupid as fuck.

Why the fuck did I waste my whole life killing somebody for this game?

They don't give a fuck about me.

But then in comparison, like when you see somebody like Pooh Shiesty crash out within the first year of becoming successful, what do you see?

You see.

choruses of people online clowning him and pointing out the error of his ways now that doesn't mean that like the streets are completely dead or anything but there's more transparency of information for people that understand how negative the consequences that come from this are plus it's not a mystery to most people that the vast vast majority of gangsters tell once they get locked up like that's open for people to see but you know who didn't tell

But they never got a RICO or anything?

The weird part about it, though, too, is just the fact that, like, hip-hop is so regional.

And when I was in New York doing those vlogs in the Bronx and everything like that, like, I really was hearing cars drive by playing Reselda, which...

In L.A.

would never happen.

Almost never happen.

Less likely for sure.

Not to say that they don't have anybody listen to them on Spotify or whatever, but for sure Griselda is not the sound of the streets out here.
