some random ass kids here in NY on the lower east side just got popped for selling coke because of the pictures they were putting up on Instagram and Facebook. Pictures of themselves flashing what was probably buy money, watches, guns and all sorts of shit. Even the NYPD said the sole reason for those kids being looked into was because of their dumb shit online. I'm not the paranoid type saying every little thing like that can get you jammed up, but at the end of the day there are situations ranging from Keef's 60 day stint down to random citizens who get jammed up for putting their business online.
Keef and his crew are doin their thing. They seem like real dudes for sure. But out of all the Chicago cats, musically I prefer King Louie and Durk. I know they all kinda move within the same circles but Louie and Durk really stand out to me. Both stand apart from the rest of those kids, I think they both show a lot more depth. Just a personal preference though. They're all kinda doin' their thing and you can't help but respect that at the very least.

and as far as those chicago kids running rap or whatever because they're getting love from Jay and Kanye and Jeezy and what not... I mean no disrespect to Jay, Ye, Jeezy, etc... but those cats are old. It's natural they're gonna find the most relevant/buzzing type of thing and try to be a part of it or at the very least, acknowledge it. It's smart. Remember how mad and old Ice T looked when he was shitting on Soulja Boy when Crank Dat dropped? No one wants to be old and irrelevant. I think it's kind of awesome that kids like GBE can start a buzz and have established acts reach out to THEM instead of vice versa. Just one of the many ways that show how things have changed and are changing
