OUT NOW Benny the Butcher x DJ Drama Presents Black Soprano Family - Da Respected Sopranos

That's true, but they aren't idolizing them for being non black or shitting on blacks and anyone who suggests that is being disingenuous. Again, a lot of the people that put Gotti or the Gambinos on pedestals don't know shit about Gotti or the Gambinos other than they were successful criminals.
didn't Gotti rat on his organization?
 
Well, part of the reason that the Feds didn't take the Mafia seriously for a long time is because they didn't believe the Mafia was as big an enterprise as it was. The Mafia was able to fly under the radar for a long time because of how they did their business. So you're basically saying they are overrated because they did a good job. That doesn't make sense.

Either way, it's not really relevant. The question was why do these rappers seem to idolize the mafia. Those rappers weren't doing research on how successful the Mafia actually was. They just saw that the Mafia is pretty much synonymous with organized crime at a high level in this country. And the point La was making is that if you're a criminal with aspirations of being the best, you're going to be inspired by the criminals that are portrayed as the best.


Homie, I ain't say they didn't do it well I'm saying media and Hollywood romanticized them and the Government and the Feds didn't take them seriously ( thank Hoover for that) until the Keiffahver hearings put them in front of the nation. They were still doing their dirt especially since the bosses being isolated from the soliders but when RICO came it severely crippled them.

How was Gotti a successful criminal? Before he became boss he spent most of his life in jail.
