why do you assume that is what it is? what separates YG Brazy Life from Game's recent Streets of Compton release? its not promoting gang culture its reflecting gang culture. there is a difference. indeed, perhaps because you don't seem to know a single thing about gang culture you didn't realize that "repping your hood" is a HUGE part of the machismo and bravado of gang culture. gang rap simply does what gangstas do all the time, repping their gang and telling gang stories. this is what gangtas do in real life, it then is reflected in the music.

I already touched on how this shit can be a part of music without being an advertisement for gang behavior.

well i disagree with you, music is free to reflect subcultures even if you don't like it. you are free to your opinion and criticism but anyone is free to criticize it
