Also Alot of NY cats talk about the same violent shit as southern artists and were doing it 15+ years ago.

Basically shit much worse than what wacka flacka or gucci mane talks about, and you are saying there content is unacceptable and harming to the black community, and say the east is better content wise... bullshit, who brainwashed you?
Really content wise if talking about gangsta shit offends you, the north is worse than the south, they are just more clever when they say it.
