Drake, Kid Cudi And Wale Are ''The Gangsta Killers'' In Upcoming GQ Magazine 'Man Of The Year' Edition

[ALBANY4LIFE]

''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.”

i feel like it just cylces every few years. hip hop didn't start off with gangster rap, then came NWA and turned it upside down. then it went soft again, and then back to that gangster shit. Ja rule was killing it for a little, then everybody got tired of hearing him signing on every other song on the radio, then came 50 and gangster rap was back. now its been kinda dying in a mainstream sense. im sure in a couple years somebodys gonna come out and bring that gangster shit back

Y HATE EM CUZ DEY NOT "GANGSTA"? LET DEM DO DEM AND U DO U! DEY AINT ON DA NET BLOGGIN LIKE SUM HOES!

[Smokey]

Ain't knockin their type of rap but that gangsta shit will never die... Ever since Pac and Big died the game ain't been da same tho. But balance is good bc i bet u a REAL mothafucka ain't tryin 2 have have his kids slappin Spice 1 or some shit lol he'd rather they listen 2 some Souljah boy, Kanye or Drake so at the end of the day theres somethin 4 everybody... Hip Hop has variety but it needs 2 be promoted fairly by the tv/radio/system not just one or the other

ummmm idk ...like ice said ...50 is the last...with people like oprah and Bill O, ...personally i think its been spiraling downward since pac and biggie..gangster rap doesnt sell like it used to..everything has to be beat.. and catchy.. if it aint then good luck making it to main stream... i like the whole beans movement but... with the way the industry has evolved...seems like hop hop like Jayz is "On to the Next one"
