Same old story, the mob ain't what it used to be, blah blah blah. Everyone knows this, I haven't met one person who thinks otherwise. Those other gangs just aren't interesting, who cares about the drug trade and shitty prostitution, where's the loansharking, illegal gambling, union control and legitimate business infiltration. That's right, those shitbag gangs you mentioned don't have any clout there. Who cares that there's more money in drugs and the cartels make more, still not as fascinating. From what I've seen on Facebook on gangster movie fan pages, Gomorrah is way more popular than Narcos, people will never be as fascinated with the cartels as they are with the mob. Just look at all the rappers who steal Mafia names, trying to make their names sound Italian because their own names are dull and boring. Everyone loves to bash the mob, but yet they can't seem to get off their nut sacks.
Bruh.... first off rappers dont care about like, Italy, or Mexico, or Colombia. I mean this respectfully. They care about image of the powerful GANGSTER, the outlaw. Its modern day cowboy shit. Like.....These guys couldnt name a state in these countries... well... some of em anyway...
Nas named himself Escobar, he wasnt trying to be Colombian. His buddy AZ was Sosa, he wasnt trying to be Bolivian. Sure, you had Capone, but his buddy, Nore is named after Noriega, a Panamanian dictator. You had Tragedy Khadafi, after you k ow, Khadafi. Biggie picked a fictional WHITE GUY, Frank White, because he was KING OF NEW YORK, like,.... he loved THAT image. The Buffalo guys are Griselda, I hope we dont think they want to be a Colombian woman. Rick Ross is Albert Anastasia one minute, and Big Meech and Larry Hoover the next. That little folly apparently cost him 3 million in extortion, lol
Besides, it goes both ways too. I've seen videos of Albanian and Mexican, hell even South American trap, Kids in Italy Woo walking, like.... I dunno. I've never in my LIFE...... seen 2 black guys, walk up to each other and say, " What up my guinea, what up wop?" This is not a thing that exist in the universe. They dont try to TALK Italian, they dont affect an Italian accent. But you can find 2 white, Spanish, hell even ASIAN young guys on the weekend, shamelessly addressing each other, " What up n*****. This is an actual real thing.
When is the last time you heard a rapper talk about union rackets or sportsbooks? Also, loansharking, the bets, unions, dont make as much as the drugs, it's just better money. Less risky.
And Gommorah more popular than Narcos? This a recent development? Since it hit HBO maybe?
