DJ Vlad and Wack100 discussed the complicated relationship between successful rappers and the criminal elements often found in their entourages. Vlad noted that artists like Young Thug and Lil Durk frequently face legal issues due to the actions of associates with criminal backgrounds, even though the rappers themselves have established legitimate businesses and successful music careers. Vlad questioned why these artists don't employ professional security to avoid entanglement in legal troubles, a practice that could separate them from their pasts and the criminal elements around them.
Wack100 argued that the nature of “beef music” necessitates having street-associated security, as mainstream personnel may not be equipped to handle potential violence stemming from rivalries. He highlighted that Ice Cube has managed to maintain minimal conflict despite his gangster rap background, while others like The Game have evolved their images over time. However, Wack100 pointed out that label pressure often encourages maintaining a street presence for credibility, leaving artists feeling trapped between commercial success and criminal affiliation. This dynamic, he suggests, often leads to their downfall, as illustrated by ongoing legal cases like YSL’s.
