It still stands, Gomorrah and The Sopranos are more popular than Narcos, and if you want I can name the rappers who steal Mafia names and you can name rappers who steal cartel names and see who comes up with more, if you really want to take it there though I think it would be a waste of time and you already know who will win. Anyway, that's Mexico, extremely corrupt and fragile country. Let them come and pull their shenanigans in America, killing law enforcement officials and rolling severed heads everywhere, and see how long they last. Taking over Mexico isn't that impressive, that's like the fat kid picking a fight with the smallest kid on the playground.
Well of course there are more rappers who use mafia names - the mafia had been around a whole lot longer than the cartels, but to say that cartels are boring and not as fascinating as the mafia is simply not true.
You speak on Mexico being an extremely fragile and corrupt country as if Italy isn't exactly like that? What the cartels and the OC have done in their origin countries, neither could replicate in the US.
Cartels are fascinating just like the mafia is and any OC group for that matter and Pablo Escobar is just as famous as John Gotti or Al Capone.
