| Just like NYC, LA's crime rate isn't nearly as high as people think. Sure there's a lot of really rough areas, but they're just such massive cities that it's almost impossible for them to be crime ridden in the way smaller cities like Camden are. Of course, there's exceptions, as Detroit, Philly, Baltimore, and DC are all major cities too, but they're not as big as NY, LA, Chicago, etc. I think the media's portrayal of places like NYC and LA add to it, too. You don't exactly see a ton of rappers from Little Rock, Arkansas "repping their city". |
