Most rap artists since the dawn of genre were former drug dealers. Even the greats of the genre were. It's not like they deny it, it's right in their songs. It was one of the only ways to make enough money to get out of the ghetto. So I'm not sure using a rap analogy is all that great.
It really is almost exclusively heard in sports, at least as far as I can tell. It's a top 4, and there's 4 people on the mountain. It's not being used for racist things, it's just a 4 and a 4. It's imagery, not racism.
