agree with janz
I mean-i dont know much about the genre-but I'm guessing many country singers don't/haven't lived in rural America, farm land etc. It's this antiquated cultural portrayal that people want filled for reasons unbeknownst to me.
I don't doubt it's who they feel they are, or are expressing the culmination of self-induced exposure to the provocative world they feel attached to.
DJ you like Drake right? Started from the bottom?
Or tyga? The dude who grew up in malibu.
I don't think either of them would necessarily mind making songs about having a leg up, or comfortable upbringing. Songs like that aren't interesting.
Odd Future Wolf Gang are just educated kids. "Free Earl" the dude was like in hawaii or something. There's some artificiality people come to expect with the genre now.
As for the original question I don't actually listen to whole lot of gangster rap. It's typically rather boring. Flockavelli i can get down to. But freddie gibbs and sean price and those guys get dull so quick.
