I hope so

Individualism is so deep people are just completely unable to see how people are impacted by their environment

I feel you , but let’s be honest the whites in power never liked the influence that hip hop has on their children. So if you make it in the industry and aren’t a rapper like Kendrick, the influence you share can be positive and negative. YSL/ Thugger had a big influence in the last decade , not all of it was positive. I’m sure innocent kids not knowing any better joined gangs or affiliated themselves with it because of his influence. There’s a lot too it , I hear you though

The main reason is cause the Rico involves mostly gang member vs gang member violence.

And Tory was accused of shooting a defenseless woman

yes thats how a RICO works

They have to prove that you're a member of a gang.

Having a pendant called YSL shows you that are a member or affiliated with YSL.

If you're not engaging in criminal activity, it doesnt mean anything

but if you ordering hits, declaring war on other rival gangs, and making death threats, then yea it's relevant.

So if u do a crime and got a YSL chain

That now means you're doing it in the name of a gang called YSL? Which is the same as the label YSL. And anything YSL related music wise is relevant and evidence for that, except when it comes to 300 financing it ofc

Find god

I don't buy the characterization of YSL as a gang at all, especially when they're using it interchangably with YSL the label

I guess we'll see more evidence, but as of right now, this shyt doesn't seem right to me i'm js

So what do you call a group of people committing murders, robberies, d*** dealing and all other types of s*** under the same umbrella?

That's all based on the assumption that it's done in the name of YSL and that it's organized for that purpose

Not only that but that there's no distinction to be made between YSL as a label and outside of music

Isn't it Young Stoner Life not Young Slime Life

why jay and nas pusha t all never got pressed like this? different breeds man

They know how to move unlike the youngins

Also Pusha T never really did dirt like that lmao

damn they arrested the dog too?

First those are 2 different groups using the same acronyms. Which is weird but w.e

Second, a gang is literally just a group of organized criminals. They fit that role if what they said they committed is true.

But even if it is the same, the distinction is when you are murdering people lol

"I'm really surprised Jack Harlow isn't being arrested as well"

This has nothing to do with Drake weirdo Push is from the burbs and even his managers said he didnt move weight like he says he does.

His music persona is just that a persona

pusha t never did dirt but in 09 many of the people in his crew including his manager all went to jail for a long time and his brother quit rap and became a hardcore christian

They're not regarded as seperate groups when references to YSL the abbreviation are interpreted as references to the gang

100% the reporter got paid to ask that

Young stoner life records (music) = YSL

Young slime life (gang) = YSL

It's the same acronym for different words.

Feds did a sweep

Jk this sucks

bro it doesnt matter whether YSL is a label or not under a RICO charge cuz they could say thats just a front.

why are you so focused on that?

They only thing the prosecutor needs to prove is that Thug was in a criminal gang and he was engaging in criminal street gang activity to further the goals of the gang.

Just based on the indictment, it looks like they have evidence through his music, his social media, his conversations with other members of YSL, his massive collection of dangerous guns, the car that he rented that would later be used in a murder.

You cant overlook these things.

Which one of y’all is this
