Why do do many rappers/hip-hop perform era get into legal trouble - involving guns, etc.? Even when they're already of some prominence as a rapper/have some records of note, I mean, never mind what they did before.
I was just reading about this rapper, Bobby Schmurda, who, after having a Top Ten single, went down for varlious thing - and this other guy, 6six9nine, who was selling heroin and shooting at people after he had a hit! WTF? 8O
It's like, you're LITERALLY top of the charts, AND, top of the " Mkst Wanted " list! :P

I think they had problems before they made it big(according to their songs they do) & they don't wanna change cuz it seems like selling out to them. They wanna keep their street cred that they rap about.
