GQ – Gangsta Killers: Kid Cudi, Drake & Wale
Cudi, Drake and Wale make an appearance in the December issue of GQ in an article called “Gangsta Killers”. Keep reading for the writeup as well as the full scan from the magazine. Scan via FashionZag.
Have you been listening to hip-hop this year? If not, we’ve got good news: The gangster persona is finally dead, and these are the kids who killed it. One song at a time, they built a new era in which duct-taped kilos, exotic firearms, and freaky girls are out and real life is the focus. That can still mean trumped-up egos and battle raps, but it also means family, drama, vicious hangovers, and regular chicks who will make good love to you, then stomp out your heart. (Weed? Weed is always in.) Wale is as famous for his live shows as for the slick-witted lyricism of his debut, Attention Deficit. Kid Cudi is the cutup who scored with the stoner anthem “Day N Nite” and his album Man on the Moon. And then there’s Drake, who found himself turning down multimillion-dollar offers after his single “Best I Ever Had” exploded. (It helps that the girls like Drake. A lot.) Drake’s debut, Thank Me Later is easily the most anticipated album of 2010 So what do these underdogs thing about being cast as gangster slayers? “The dope boy is going to be a fixture of black culture as long as “thug” is a legitimate option alongside a job” Drake says. But I’m not going to rap about how much crack I’ve sold.” Cudi also laughs at the idea of talking tough. “Anybody from cleveland will tell you I wasn’t in the streets” he says. “Ask them! They’ll say, ‘Scott was the goofy class clown.”

gangster rap is lame
Gangster rap isnt lame its good shit Ice Cube and N.W.A etc. is good shit.
Gangsta rap is only bad when ppl literately go out and mimic the lyrics. Just like anything in media can be bad when someone is influenced in a bad way.

I am glad to see that gangsta rap is dieing off and there is some newness out there. Gangsta rap killed it self when all those thugs turned pop stars and ran out of any thing original to rap about.
