You are right I may be reading too much into the short clip I saw but im not just saying if he is trying to portray that image he should stop. He never lived that type of life and he's not from a rough area. It just makes him seem like a wannabe but like I said I dont know him and the clip was very short.

Well Drake is the most commercially successful rapper out right now. He comes from an affluent neighborhood in Canada. He mostly raps about women, money, clothes, cars.
Kendrick Lamar is probably the hottest rapper right now after this last year and he does rap about killing but mostly from a third party perspective. He’s from Compton so I suppose he may have seen a lot of gang violence growing up. I’d consider him more of an empowerment/conscious rapper type but he definitely does dabble in the gangster rap topics.
J Cole is definitely a conscious rapper. He never talks about killing and selling drugs. I believe his mom is/was actually a crack addict.
Travis Scott is really commercially successful, Eminem dropped an album within the last year or two, Future is still pretty big. None of those guys really talk about gang shit.
It’s pretty easy to rap about shit like money, cars, clothes, jewelry, women, and partying. Shedeur knows a lot about those topics, I’m sure.
