Coded? Please explain
Late to the party, but saying 'gangsta wannabe' can come across as offensive especially when a particular demographic of people have been stereotyped for using slang. So saying that is a bit borderline... At the end of the day as others have said, it's just slang... every generation has used several slang words, it's just this generation is influenced by Hip-hop culture because Hip-Hop culture is pretty much pop these days. That's why you get a fair lot of rich suburban kids wanting to be like the Chief Keefs and NBA YoungBoy's of the world.
Honestlly people are offended by most random things nowdays. if you are going to care about offending everybody, you will probably be person with 1 facebook status written in 2008 "hello guys" and some angry feminist will dig that up in 2022 and call you misogynist because you used word "guys", not gender neutral , didn't include animals and their profiles or whatever.
Pro athletes aren't role models. Singers aren't role models. Most of them are born in right bodies/ with right talent and are filthy reach by mid 20s. Expecting from them to behave in certain fashion is foolish.
For all of us born in late 80s and mid 90s were exposed to nba ganga wannabes, yet i highly doubt any of us decided to join gang because of it.
NBA mainly because of Iverson brought dresscode because this was not acceptable
but this somehow was fine by dresscode
and notion that those guys
were more harmful to culture & young kids than some random Cardi B singing about sugar daddy, or army of mumble rappers talking how they ODed on pills is just fine?
I remember that standup by some dude that was mocking how in 90s rappers were cool because they were all about killing others, not themselfs like today's rappers are
