Read about this last week. Gotta be REAL careful out there using your debit/CC.

Pop Out Boyz, a rap collective from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, took their lyrics from real life when they released a single this spring all about the material rewards of a crime not often mentioned in urban pop music — credit card fraud, prosecutors said.

The song, titled “For a Scammer,” was rooted in experience, the prosecutors said. Members of the group and their associates have been indicted in Manhattan on grand larceny charges, accused of stealing more than $250,000 worth of luxury goods from Barneys and Saks Fifth Avenue over the last year.

The song’s chorus boasts, “I’m cracking cards ’cause I’m a scammer,” using a street term for card fraud. At one point, one of the vocalists raps, “Watch the money do a back flip, early morning up at Saks Fifth, you see it, you want it, you have it.”

The case reflects a broader trend in New York City, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said. As street crime and drug dealing have declined over the last two decades, there has been a surge in identity theft and credit card fraud, and these crimes are increasingly being committed by relatively unsophisticated young adults from working-class homes, the police and prosecutors said.

The group recruited friends to shop at Barneys and Saks to buy luxury clothing and accessories — high-end shoes, Balmain jeans, Celine and Goyard handbags. Prosecutors said the group made 275 purchases at Barneys alone over 55 days, walking off with $258,000 worth of goods. Saks lost $11,000 worth of merchandise in two months. The group used more than 2,000 stolen credit card numbers from banks in France, Canada, Germany and Dubai, the police said.

"Snitching on Myself" rap music is pretty much its own sub-genre right now.

Crazy to me how this stuff is clearly illegal, yet people are allowed to proudly promote it. No one ever wants to admit it, but certain devious behavior is accepted. Like I've said before, prisons have the best and most sly marketing campaign.

Like selling drugs and owning illegal firearms aren't? :lol:

Free of speech famb
 
rap has always been like that though. from wu members, MOP, NORE, that whole 90s NY rap, even west coast gang stuff... they're all rapping about lives that they lived which involved crimes that they really did.

the difference is, they didn't get caught, but these dumbass kids did because they probably hit those card licks in a non-camouflage way
 
@aiaudi, rap music promotes criminal behavior. My theory is that prisons have their hands in record companies. They cosign on the music that promotes criminal activity, the impressionable and stupid do it in attempt to be cool. Now the higher ups make money off of record sales as well as state funds for putting more bodies in the prison. Win win for them. Think about it, prisons need bodies to they can function as a business. How else can a jail advertise? They can't outright say, sell drugs, kill people, rob people... But TI can say it, Rick ross can say it, future can say it... And the kids respond to them and follow suit. Most of which have no responsible parents.

@rusty, I wasn't speaking exclusively about the crimes that this thread addresses. Gun/drug violence is definitely embraced and glorifued for some odd reason.

One voice of the city screams "please stop the violence and gang activity" while another voice screams "we chiraq, we the realest, yo hood soft b/c nobody got killed yesterday, we keep it gully, i got for 40 round clip".
