SOUTH AFRICAN GANGSTA RAP

TRIGGER FINGERS TURNS TO TWITTER FINGERS

Gangsta rap or gangster rap was established in the late 80's  by an American prominent Hip Hop group known as N.W.A  (Niggaz Wit Attitudes), the group consisted of young black men who were living in the notorious neighborhood of Compton Carlifonia. The group produced some of the wealthiest black men in the world today i.e. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube and later on this men discovered other huge Hip Hop stars to date, like Eminem, 50 Cent, The game and many more.

N.W.A Founders

N.W.A. used music an an outlet to express how they felt about life, political, economical and social views, their music also reflected on their experiences living in a dangerous, violent drug filled neighborhood were people got killed due to gang feuds. The music inspired other thugs like The Game, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and many to stop selling drugs and living as outlaws, so they too they left their lives behind and started rapping about their experiences in the streets and that made them become multi millionaires because people supported their music.

Crime rate in South Africa, is ridiculous, some of these former convicts can use Hip Hop an an outlet to express their experiences and regrets of choosing a life of crime
