Motherfucker, every culture glorifies crime, drugs and gangs, and no, you speak in absolutes and it's not true.
I grew up in a weird violent subculture, but I never got into violent monetary crime. Had I been caught slinging pool balls in tube socks, my life would have taken a very different turn. We escape poverty the way we know how, I grew up in poverty, comedy is how I know how.
For a lot of kids in black neighborhoods, slingin' or or bangin' is the way out, and a lot of people who talk about gang culture truly don't understand life for kids growing up in neighborhoods like that. A lot of "sets" get classified as gangs, but it's normally friends strapped up watching each others backs. In cities like Chi'town it's depressing, it's circular, and often those kids end up in real Chiraq gangs.
You insult a lot of hip hop culture.
K-Dot (Kendrick Lamar) talks about the trouble of being in the middle of piece of shit cops and piece of shit gang members. Chano (Chance the Rapper) talks the same about Chicago, he lost several friends despite his parents dedicating their lives to making Chicago a better place, he himself donated $1.M to CPS because he wants his daughter to go to Chicago schools.
You're misrepresenting outlaw cultural art with deeper art.
I'm borderline pleading with you right now, because I like you as a poster, and I disagree with you... but don't take a stance in the sand. Listen to this, close your eyes and put yourself in 18 year old Chance's position, and then tell me how you feel afterwards.
