In Matt’s frequent tussles, he often injured or even killed his obstacles. Even though Matt kills his opponents, he has the law by his side, for he is an ex-lawyer and knows the sheriff well. Some very important events for the story happen in the beginning, starting with Matt first discussing Peggy’s disappearance.
One of the major factors of the violent lyrics and music videos is that many rappers are actually ex-cons, in gangs, or have committed the crimes they speak about. They rap about being the average hustler on the streets of their hometown. This relates with their audience of young males, primarily African American, trying to achieve what the rappers have. This is a good way to relate to an audience, but can be detrimental to aspiring young males.

However “Tookie” was most famous for the four brutal murders he was convicted of in 1981.2 Stanley “Tookie” Williams III was later executed on December 13, 2005 at San Quentin State Prison in California.2 He was as violent behind bars as he was on the streets but “Tookie” revealed his humanistic characteristic through the children books he penned in effort to stop gang violence.

Just not only gang member that can die during a gang fights but there be people that aren’t in gangs die too. I know all gang members’ motto is basically kill or be killed and get high all the time. It happens so often because drugs and alcohol are very addictive and harmful here in town. Most of the gang members here sometimes are teens still in high school and when they use drugs they’re lose more knowledge and its become harder for them to understand things so they eventually dropout of school. Since some teens don’t go to school anymore they work harder on being a gangster and most of them end up in jail or dead, barely of them think about changing because gangs become their life.
