Rapper Casanova 2x Wanted by the FBI. Faces LIFE in Prison

Started with the Mafia. That is how they brought everybody down including the boss and people who didn't get their hands dirty.

Now it is Gangs and Political Organizations like Black Panther and now BLM.

Theory is if you are a member of a organized crime gang, you have influence and help make decisions.

So even if you didn't commit the crime, you knew about it, had a decision in it and allow it to happen since you are a member of the organization which is dedicated to crime.

So my advice would be never to claim that you are a member of a gang. Do not walk around with a lot of criminals.

That seems to be the hardest thing to do in the rap world.

Because when you live in a dangerous neighborhood there's a good chance that some of these criminals might be lifelong friends or family members. On top of that, much like the drug business, music involves a lot of quick money and you need people who can help you watch your back.

furthermore, success in the music game depends on being able to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way. Working a square job of 40 plus hours a day makes it difficult, if not impossible, to do this. Imagine getting a chance to rap on an ASAP Rocky track only to find out that the studio time is scheduled during your job and you can't get time off. As romantic as it is to say screw that job this track might not ever get released.
 
What are you talking about?

Rap does not equal criminality.

Cole, Hammer, Fresh Prince, Chance, Odd Future do not have these issues.

They do not claim gangs. They do not walk around with criminals and fault it.

I live in a dangerous neighborhood right now. Wtf are you talking about?

You might want to take hammer off that list.. he done put hits out on nigs.. Mc serch has a good story on how hammer put out a hit on 3rd base
 
Looks like these gangs are the new Mob an the feds seem to be hitting hard like they did the Mob.
money crimes.. feds been going after crews and gangs of nyc big time the past several yrs.. I’ve talked about it on here various times.. it affected the strip game.. lot of raids happened in a few boroughs taking down triple digits to double digits of people in 1 swoop... it’s mostly for money crimes , on the news they will push the violent angle but it’s really about money and as I’ve said for yrs on here they don’t want nigs to have money.. the body count don’t matter to them, they look at the illegal money aspect..plastic hustle, fraud, drug dealing, selling of merchandise, prostitution,gambling, etc.. that’s what they really care about..stop the money

The Fresh Prince started his career as a teenager which means that he was able to pursue his opportunities while his parents took care of his living expenses. If those opportunities hadn't panned out by the time he reached his twenties he probably would have had to quit or find 'alternative' ways to support himself while he pursued this dream.

Although I have no reason to believe that Hammer was ever a criminal there is no way he came up as a rapper in 1980s Oakland without having at least a few friends, associates, or partners in the game.

Lol this is one of the reason why I hate cacs
 
Small way? It was a major way. Snitching became the norm after RICO.
Imagine being a low level soldier, and you aint getting paid like that, being arrested and facing 40 years for something a capo that you never met did. Hahahahah
Not small way but small number of ways to get them. RICO is an unbelievable huge tactic though....
 
Shut up.
You trying to say all rappers are criminals?
Fuck you.

So Cas is officially on the run? Damn. He has a mandatory 10 years on his head already.

15 year old was killed because of his enterprise.

He better turn himself in and snitch on these niggas...

Either that or he gonna be on the run forever.

He got a kid and a girlfriend. Gangsters can't have families.

He cant snitch. Might as well just do his bid....
 
I heard that story too. It was exaggerated story telling for Vlad.
Hammer is good money. He aint no punk but he aint a dumb criminal getting himself jammed up.
Paying somebody to do ha

paying somebody to do harm to somebody is a criminal act.. it just wasn’t successful.. him being associated with criminals even though he is successful still qualifies himself as a person that hasn’t removed himself from shady individuals.. so in both instances hammer would fall under the people who were successful yet are still around or connected to gangsta..so you have to remove hammer off your list

Don't really know anything about Will Smith or Hammer,but didn't Will get accepted to MIT? I believe Will would have found a safe opportunity especially when you consider his tax problems before the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Anything is possible but I don't see Will moving drugs to survive or any illegal activity.

In any case. I wouldn't call where I lived hood but it was hood adjacent. I had family members who took part in illegal activities and friends who did the same. I've known people from what I would consider bad hoods. I never took part in any illegal activities and neither did alot of the people from worst neighborhoods. Being from the hood doesn't necessarily make you hood.

If I'm reading your statement correctly, it is a very ignorant thing to say even if we are talking about rappers.
 
Good money = good dude.

I deny that Hammer paid anyone to do shit.

Serch looking for clout.

I saw this on the Breakfast club. Apparently in old video on the Breakfast Club he gave the impression that he may snitch if put in that situation. He was actually speaking on 69 but it does make him questionable.
All these dudes are questionable especially when facing 20 plus. But hey dudes bragging about bein in gangs are idiots anyways....
 
And them forty three seconds is how long it takes her to get naked.

Nails aint gonna manicure themselves....

lol
 
Shut up.

No. I'm saying that there is a strong criminal element in the music industry. Also because of circumstance many rappers have ties to criminals even if they've personally broken a law in their lives.

This was in direct response to your statement that "rappers should never associate with criminals". At the end of the day though you don't always know who's promoting your shows, who owns the venues, and who owns the studio you are recording at. You also can't control the Life choices of relatives and lifelong friends

This is not just rappers. The former manager of the backstreet Boys used access to the band to the bilk investors out of millions of dollars. That's just one example out of many.
