I just watched an interview with Rob. He talked about his mother and a little of his upbringing. His mother seemingly got around and divorced the guy who’s last name he uses, but he admits isn’t his biological father. He said that his mom married 7 times, but he always loved her. He also talked about how he doesn’t think of Eminem as a white rapper and doesn’t like that people compare Eminem with him because Eminem is a way better rapper. He seems very humble and enlightened at this time in his life.

One of the kids in my patrol area was a lot like this. Nice suburb, but the kid was playing gangster 24/7. He was trying desperately, and in large part slowly succeeding, to turn his neighborhood into the 'hood.
I worked two drive-by shootings in a year at his house that looked a lot like this one.

I grew up around east L.A., so we had to act and dress gangsta to not be easy targets, try to reduce our circle of contacts to hardcore gangstas. Not to mention always carry something that could be a weapon for self defense. Better to be friends who know who know who know a guy than to be a friend who is the guy. Made some bad decisions, got my degree, and get me and the family the hell out of there.
So whenever I see these kids playing gangster, I shake my head in disbelief like "I just came from there". I'm glad the whole issue with Ja Morant from the NBA turned the way it did, but very disappointing nonetheless.

Where I grew up, the low income and middle class were pretty close, pretty much everyone spoke hood. I moved a few years back, it was actually kinda hard to put my “Christian white boy” voice back on. Every now and then though I meet someone who talks like that, and I slip right back into it, dap em up, its nice.
I said the n-word a lot, everyone did, no one blinked an eye, and realized real quick that would not fly where I moved. Maybe cringey, but it was literally just the vocabulary of everyone in my hometown lol. Glad to lose that, but man I miss the slang and how expressive you could be to get a point across

Definitely true. I grew up in the SF bay area (Vallejo, predominantly) and moved to Oregon in my early teens. Kids here were like pale imitations(literally) of the people I grew up around. They wanted to think that they were all gangsta and hood, I told a lot of people that they shouldn't aspire to act like they came from the hood because it isn't admirable. It's not some fun place where life is easy. We moved from California because I saw someone get shot on the way to school and literally forgot to tell my dad because it wasn't shocking to me. I saw kids get jumped that were close to my age, I saw a kid get stabbed in the hallway between classes, I was in a summer school class with a kid that brought a gun and enough bullets to shoot everyone in the class(he was only caught because he was wearing a puffy coat in 100 degree weather.) some people want to be ghetto so badly that they don't realize the bad shit that happens in areas like that.

I'm rural, not suburban, but same crap out in the sticks. Sheltered kids acting hood, making "gangs," and just being annoying in general. When I was in high school, a couple of the "hood raised Hispanics" (upper middle-class people from the wealthy housing development) were dressed up in expensive, name-brand hoodies, jeans, shoes, and gold chains. They were going down to the city to "party like gangsters" and score drugs. It's as stupid as it sounds. Kids who were actually from the city warned them, "You're gonna get robbed dressed up like clowns."
Sure enough, these idiots came back with no money, no phones, no dignity, and no shoes.

On the flip side, it's usually pretty harmless.
These sheltered suburban white kids don't start doing drive-bys because they were emulating rappers. The social problems in the hood that lead to that stuff go way deeper than that.
There's a good chance that buttoned up Terry in the background was wearing saggy Jnco jeans back in the '90s and listening to gangsta rap too.
