- elboru 7y agoI cannot talk from all Latin America, but at least in my city gangs imported a lot of the pop culture from the American ghettos, everyone has a sibling, cousin or friend who emigrated to the US, when they come back to their cities either because they were deported, or because they simply wanted to come back, they dress differently, they like new things and they share their experiences. Also American movies, TV and music make a big influence not only in Latin America but the whole world.
- firekvz 7y agoYou don't need to take lessons to rap, you "learn it on the streets", you don't need an instrument. Same goes for basketball, all you need is a Ball and a basket and some 5x5 space, football can be the next cheapest sport but it kinda needs alot of spaces plus alot of maintance to the field (expensive) I would say, these are just the cheapest options.
- harimau777 7y agoFor the basketball part, part of it is likely that it is the mainstream team sport which requires the least equipment and space.
