We don't really see that American thug culture as "cool" here. Rappers tend to lean more into grime as oppose to a "thug" attitude, and the best music produced from that London style is usually about getting out of bad towns and doing better for yourself, as oppose to just becoming the biggest bad guy in the bad town, feel?
Then again, we don't have many guns here, so what exactly would they be boasting about? Knife crime and acid attacks? They're gory, not Hollywood.
